Album Review: Arnej - Unreleased


What would you say if I told you a DJ/Producer decided to release 15 previously unreleased tracks in an album? What would you say if I told you it’s free? Yes, Arnej has just released his new album aptly titled Unreleased. You can grab a copy of the album through his facebook account.

Unreleased contains 15 previously unreleased tracks by Arnej with half under his moniker 8 Wonders. Releasing your own tracks allows you more freedom to create tracks and shows how creative Arnej can be. Arnej kicked started with Intro, a track with chime-filled lead that transforms into some massive synths before continuing with some deep melodic beats in Simple, Beautiful. Then he kick in the drums in Simple Things, blending the sounds of percussions and strings resulting into a harmonious production. He continued this production with Come Back adding some chop strings and turning to a more big room sound before bringing it back down with The Road Ahead, a melodic chill track with emphasis on piano keys. Drums come into play again in the melodic track, Union. Arnej switched things in Coincidences bringing in more darker melodies that would surely be a great hit on the dance floor.

The second half of the album kicks off with Where Yesterday Began which Arnej began using his moniker 8 Wonders. And with this comes techy trance synths couple with high-pitched percussion and melodic strings before an amazing drop that would surely get you into the right mood. Equllibrium comes in with a gradual increase in bpm along with melodramatic beats and bass. He continued with the techy progressive trance sound in A Thought Away, Return to Paradise, and Embrace It before adding some dnb into the track Chimera, a track which contains percussion sound coupled with high-pitched synths and haunting vibe.

Arnej continues with some techno flair in Dark Horizon. But make no mistake as this track contains melodramatic beats and pounding bass that would surely make you want to hit the dancefloor. He then ends Unreleased with Moment of Truth, a techy trance with dirty baselines and melodic percussions.

The album is filled with melodramatic production that would surely be enjoyed by listeners out there. Each track is seamlessly blended well showing his production prowess and his unique style in the ever growing electronic dance music genre. These tracks are truly work of a genius though you will need to have an open mind to enjoy each track.

7.5/10
