NikaH the title fits the feeling of the song like the lid fits the pot (hope I translated that saying correctly :D)
her voice is awesome and the tempo is just the right thing to get out of this stupid winter-weariness! Favorite track: The Agony & The Ecstasy.

Willow Ormshaw I pirated this album like, almost a decade ago? And it's one of my favorite albums of all time. I genuinely just didn't think to look for High Contrast on bandcamp until like a month ago, and wanted to buy the album to, uh, own it. This is without a doubt one of the finest albums I've ever listened to. Favorite track: All There Is (feat. Liane Carrol).

about

Returning in 2012 with his fourth artist album, The Agony & The Ecstasy, High Contrast is set to reinstate his reputation at the top table with this superb twelve-track long player.

Featuring an extensive range of collaborators, from established, worldwide superstars such as Tiesto and Underworld to up-and-coming fresh new talent such as Med School signing Lung and Jessy Allen, this truly is an album of contrasts. Hospital ever present Liane Carrol, who you may recognise from London Elektricity live, aswell as Chase & Status / Breakage vocalist extraordinaire Claire Maguire and Kid Adrifts Selah Corbin also feature on the album.

High Contrast himself describes The Agony & The Ecstasy as more personal than any other album hes made, so prepare to be moved with some heartfelt melodies as well as the uplifting anthems which have his signature sound written all over them and push him back into the spotlight.

This is in my opinion by far the most superior of all your work. I can hear a lot of influence from Pendulum in here. I’d almost go so far to say this album is a spiritual successor to their album Emersion. I do hope more collaborations with ShockOne will happen some day. reckneya
