Copelinn has created his own style and sound that puts him in a category in which not too many other musicians can match.

All in all, The New Digital Sound is without a doubt a record that is worth checking out. Whether you are a fan of rock, pop, or techno, The New Digital Sound has something that everyone can connect with, and will make a very enjoyable listening experience."

"The age of The New Digital Sound has arrived. The debut disc serves up textures that might put listeners in the mind of Nine Inch Nails, Tool, or the like. The music therein contains voice samples describing mass murder, sexual perversion and terminal sickness amidst the dark, eerie, digitally synthesized soundscapes. There are, however, some energizing beats and grooves to be found on the album's thirteen tracks. ?You" delivers a funky, drum machine beat beneath simple, melancholy piano chords and melodies, and "Minimal" conveys multi-layered, repeating keyboard lines creating a spooky, celestial effect. DeeJay Copelinn says, "My hope is to turn N.D.S. into a live show as well." That is one show that I would love to see."

"The New Digital Sound, The New Digital Sound Grade: A- On the enclosed press information for The New Digital Sound 's self-titled album, we are instructed to file this album under the likes of : ambient and abstract. Boy, were they not kidding. I don't even think those terms fit the bill here. While a few tracks like "You" are obviously electronic, some like the album's opener "The Meaning" are like nothing I've ever heard before. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, just means its something you have to get used to. DJ Copelinn of The New Digital Sound unleashes his entire creative process on this album, leaving not a whole lot left to be discovered or desired.

For those looking for a new album of electronic goodness to clutch tightly to their chests. The New Digital Sound is without a doubt not an album for everyone, but is an album for many that are looking for something new and thought-provoking."

"Interesting album. I've included a track on an upcoming edition of my radio show "Ultima Thule". Check it out 10:30-midnight every Sunday night."

It’s usually MusicEmissions policy to not review any CD’s that come to us in CDR format but something told me to check out DJ Copelinn’s project called The New Digital Sound. Copelinn is in the category of IDM, along the lines of Autechre and other Warp artists. No really, this is a valid comparison and if you are a label looking for an electronica artist along the lines of Sybarite, you should get in touch with The New Digital Sound. Some of the tracks are darker than others but some actually have a shiny feel to them. The 13 tracks are diverse enough that you don’t get bored. An interesting track here is “Devoid of Emotion” where a news sample talking about a “bizarre murder” where Copelinn keeps it repeating for over 1 minute. The music is well produced and most likely recorded straight from Copelinn’s computer. There are no glitches that I can hear. So much good music like this goes unnoticed amongst all the rest.
