Great as a bumper between pieces.. or the end of a program.
Having grown up on a farm driving Farmalls and John Deeres.. it was alot of fun.. and very creative.
A nice chewy piece, well put together. Some of the samples have very warm, round sound, which I think contrasts nicely with the more abrasive bits...especially when the texture thickens.
fantastic! masterfully put together... i love how in the piece sounds like a percussive symphony with cymbal crashes and all.
this would be great to hear mixed with other musical elements, beats etc.
play it on repeat and it sounds even better!
I love this piece, with it's amazing depth. It is expertly crafted, and musical in a way I certainly didn't expect. It even has an undercurrent of jungle drumming or something to it. It sounds tribal. I especially like way the sound builds, and the ending, breaking apart back into more recognizable sounds.
This is a really brilliant piece, obviosuly put together by someone with a lot of talent. It's hard to describe, or at least it is for me, because I don't have much of a music background. The producer is able to make the industrial music, and that's fairly impressive. See also: dancer in the dark.
This piece made me smile. From the description, I expected a collection of interesting engine sounds but was surprised by a lot more. It's actually a celebration of the rhythm that's been introduced to our world by the engine; this piece comes off like "STOMP" for the farm show. The producer has actually collected sounds from various engines and carefully crafted them into something sounding like a rhythm section. The affect is delightful. I think it could be put to good use in several ways. The producer mentioned the nearing of Otto's birthday, the inventor of the internal combustion engine. I can imagine a cool historical piece about the development of the engine and how it's changed our lives. The way engines have changed the collection of sounds a human recognizes could be an interesting angle suggested by this piece, but even without a unique angle, the sounds represented here would make an interesting selection for radio.

Review of Internal Combustion
I was right.
What a symphony! It's like Rap thirty years ago. Will this be a modern form a music for the rural folks?
This will definitely spice up a day, for any PR station. It's short and would be fun to talk about. There is no excuse not to give this piece a shot.
