After numerous setbacks and delays, the debut release from Voxis: Machina has finally arrived. Was the wait worth it? I think so. Voxis serves up a blissful storm of speed techno-industrial that puts them in a class of their own. They sound kind of like Millenia (especially “Invisible”) or even some of Argyle Park, but things are more extreme overall and there are no guitars or vocals. The futuristic “Rayzer Numb” first appeared on Ballistic Test 3 with sampled guitars but they have been dropped for the “Theoretically it Should Work” remix of the song which I think is not as good as the original. However, there is plenty of thickly layered intensity to like on this tape such as the heart-stopping terminal velocity of “Myndhax”, the dark trance synths of “Vyzygothyk Veil”, the frantic club rave of “Hermind”, and the smooth melodic speed of “Chambyr”. Production is better than I expected but a few of the many voice samples are not clear. The “Hello Mr. Fancy Pants” sample at the start of “Denymind” is hilarious. For pure high-energy electro pleasure, Voxis: Machina performs nicely. –Richard Maaranen (https://web.archive.org/web/20150623022911/http://ballistictest.flamingfish.com/btz_old_reviews/vm-l.html)
