Is it just me, or is the synthesized/vocoded speech coming back into fashion? I'm hearing it nearly everywhere these days (even I've been guilty of using it recently)! Yes... this track has some Stephen Hawkings sound-a-like vocals (thankfully, there are no awkward pauses before each line), and this is played pretty much throughout the track! This sounds pretty cool, although it could do with having more bite and being put through a de-esser! The only other vocal is a diva-style "busy" (?) vocal stab! This fits in well, although it could be more in the background for my tastes!

Onto the music in general, which is one of the best I've heard from Digital Juggernaut! It's full of energy, never gets boring, and has distinct sections to it! I could do with the snare cutting through more, but that's just nit-picking! Also, it would be nice to have more breaks from the synthesized vocal, as it rarely lets up throughout the track!

Mixing-wise, it's hard to fault! As I said before, the snare could cut through more, and the diva vox could sit in the background more, but apart from that it's fine!

Overall, this is definitely a track I'm gonna keep! It may very well be that it's not to your tastes, but it is to mine!

Pizza Score: Chicken BBQ! Oh, come on... it's hard to be original with the pizza score system when you're reviewing a track that's really good!
