Review Highlights
160dB: The Drum&Bass Interface - MacUser UK, Nov 2003 - 4 Stars
Pros - Lovely sax and upright bass loops + Good price
Cons - Most drum loops too genre-specific
"Much of it is excellent. There are a lot of mellow flavours designed to juxtapose the relentless drums. In particular, the sax, Rhodes and upright bass loops are brilliant at defining a mood, featuring fluid energetic playing. Laid over any kind of drumbeat, these can be very inspiring, while the massive Atmosphere samples and FX automatically add a moody vibe to any scene. For £30, the jazzy instrumentation is worth getting.
All three CDs are solid collections of professional-sounding loops collected by genre, although mixing and matching loops across genres is a rewarding exercise. The quality of the samples is excellent, and which one you go for depends on your tastes."
KEY BUY WINNER “I could blather about how great this library is, but second listener Greg Rule sums it up best: ‘From the evocative pads and wicked synth basses to the expressive instrumental riffs and edgy loops, there are loads of club-ready components for launching a track. I defy any electronic music lover to give this library a test drive and not walk away buzzed.’” - KEYBOARD MAGAZINE
"Back with a bang...9/10" - Computer Music
"Overall - Essential purchase for Drum and Bass makers - 9/10." - Sounduser Review

Review Highlights “All in all, Dirtbag is definitely a good experience. Simeon’s signature sounds are present everywhere on this CD which are a definite formula to success. The greasy fretless bass lines are GORGEOUS and the clean, nicely tendered mastering has left me drooling for the type of studio he has.” - Reasonfreaks

REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
2Step Ahead - MacUser UK, Nov 2003 - 4 Stars
Pros - Interesting collection of electronic loops
Cons - Slightly expensive + You may be put off by the title
"Not really knowing what to expect from 2Step Ahead, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a selection of imaginative electronic loops. Comprising 13 Groove Kits split into numerous Beats, Hi-Hat and Kick Snare Loops, plus Synth Bass options, there's plenty of robotic rhythmic content here.
Set against a clutch of groovy clavinet, electric piano and organ riffs, as well as dozens of weird processed loops with a very twitchy edge, and you've got all the makings of a thoroughly modern club classic.
All three CDs are solid collections of professional-sounding loops collected by genre, although mixing and matching loops across genres is a rewarding exercise. The quality of the samples is excellent, and which one you go for depends on your tastes."
Another huge collection of grungy, inspirational dance samples! The finest FutureFunk collection and extremely popular with Pro users for many years. Recorded at the same sessions as the first volume so although the contents are completely different the style of the content is pretty much identical.
Review Highlights - for volume 1
"Raunchy, raw, and rude: Three "R" words that describe the audio material you'll get on the Terminalhead CDs. That's meant as a compliment...you'll find lots to get excited about and inspired by: crunchy drum and guitar loops, oddball sound effects, wicked synth lines, spacy analog synth events, and more...And to assure the audio gets dirty enough, the producers downsampled or sample-converted much of the material so that it's only 8- or even 4-bit. Grunge City!...I really appreciate the variety of drum loops, which range from fairly straight-ahead to absolutely monstrous -- with a decided multitude of the latter...The processing is so thick it's tasteful, and the hooks are infectious. Some of the best feature digitally sliced-and-diced vocals..."AMG has been one of the world's most consistent producers of great loop CDs over the past few years," Greg concluded, "and Terminalhead does not disappoint." - Keyboard (USA)
Contents All highly processed and grunged up big time including some 4-bit processing. All specially recorded, distorted, filtered and phat. Including:
Pete's Drum Loops & Chops - Assorted drum loops. Distorted, filtered and phat. Watch them bass bins flap.
Pete's Lo-Fi Drum Loops and Chops - Drums and drum effects utilising 8 and 4 bit lo-fi cruch technology. Sizeable and hard.
Funky Crunch Gate Corner - Created using many sound sources. Sample, fly in and enjoy - they're funky. Try triggering them in different parts of the bar. Also includes many 4 and 8 bit loops. Warning - some of the sounds are REALLY hard.
Synth Riffs/Sounds - Assortment of usable synth lines, sounds and sequences. Once again, created using a cross section of old analogue boxes, some crunchy filters and 4/8 bit processing. Sample the bits you like, shut your eyes and fly 'em in.
Greg's Funky Hard Chops - Hard as nails, but smooth as silk. You're certain to find a chop or rhythmic phrase to suit your track.
Dub FX - Loads of fresh sexy, NEW dub effects to spice up your track. Treat with love, care and respect.
Pascal Benadjaoud Percussion - This time delivering new grooves for terminalhead, using bongos, congas, darbuka, tambourines, triangles, shakers and vocals. Pascal gets phased, phreaked and dubbed out.
Shortwave Strangeness - Best reapings from many a cold, dark night in front of the trusty old tranny.
Misc. Unusualness - An odd assortment of those hard to categorise sounds.
Greg's Trippy Oddness - An unusual collection of very usuable processed guitar.
Synth Effects - Many very weird, wonderful and wide synthetic effects.
Analogue Pads and Sweeps - A collection of filter sweeps and beautiful organic moments.
