The music of Twotone features regular
techno conventions, such as a regularkick drum and snare beat, but these sounds are augmented by irregular rhythmic placements and supplamental click and cut sounds. Traditional synthesis methods and sounds are often employed, often repeating a simple chord pattern. Other featured sounds are vocal snippets and occasional industrial samples.The debut album "Cinecity" received favourable reviews, with some praise describing it as an "impeccably produced collection". [ [http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/review.php?review=664&q= Cyclic Defrost] review by Alex ollo] Other comments made on the music have been less positive, with comments such as the "while ‘Cinecity’ doesn’t really re-invent the minimal-techno wheel, that’s less important here than the sense of warmth and widescreen atmosphere that permeates through all of the tracks".
