[Just a note before you read this that I wrote this maybe a year, possibly two, years ago. I edited it a little and Shojin (Marcus) himself e-mailed me saying he loved it and wanted to put it on his site. So that made me send this review to EVula again to post it. =P Enjoy!]
Shojin is my most favorite Techno/Trance type artist. Now, I know nowadays people don't really like techno and all, but some people, like me, do. At least give it a try, I mean it never hurts to try something new.
Shojin seems to have his own style of music. I compare his techno with every other artist I have ever heard of, and his stands out the most. The others can be compared. Some of the same beats, and tunes, just mixed up, and they sound somewhat the same. They get old, really, REALLY fast. As for Shojin, his songs are so unique, they don't easily get old. I'll have to listen to the song at least twenty times a day for a month before it gets old! His style is amazing!
He has many names for himself. Razor Sliph, for his darkest songs, and Electrode (or something like that) for his more light songs, and of course Shojin for any other song. Shojin is his main name though.
As for his music, he makes mostly dark, gothic, trance music. Some songs, like the Island of Gods, are joyful and are holyish, but I'm talking majority here. Nowadays, he doesn't write as many songs as he used to, but either way, his songs are still great! When he writes a new one, I get all happy and I must download it immediantly!
His songs, like Edgen's (www.edgen.com) are free! You can find him at Shojin.com or Mp3.com (Mp3.com is now down). He is a nineteen-year-old making a name for himself with techno, and doing the regular stuff in life like go to college. He's pretty cool, so check him out!
