manix salazar of spain is the force behind pail. this is the release that mixes together all the modern music elements. the result is extremely diverse and interesting. several tracks can be classified as crossover industrial (but just for the use if guitars, the programming is still there and it is great and very modern-sounding; track #4 reminded me of "fear is the mindkiller" mixes), others are beautiful slow tracks that occasionally use breakbeats and idm elements. the noisier side of pail can be heard on counterintelligence compilation. very explosive and energetic cd. personal favorites are "take it" (very intelligent techno-like sound, complex and interesting), "shadows" (along the lines of "hard-wired", but with more "modern" sound; i hate comparisons, but this one just slipped, hehe), "process" (reminds me of neutronic - same feeling of "funkiness" and complexity), "evil inside", "paver structure" (simply beautiful melody. slow-paced melancholic track. one of the best songs on the disk).

you really have to listen to the cd several times. it has too many differents moods, and it is quite difficult to capture all the sides of the music right away. you will find yourself coming back again and again and always experiencing something new.
