1. W32.MyDoom@MM (2013)
While the beginning
and end tracks are quite lackluster, the 10 tracks in the middle are a
continuous mix of dark and heavy yet simplistic EDM with catchy loops and drops, coupled with subtle nuances that permeate the atmosphere. The result is an audio experience that will satisfy the palettes
of dubstep fans and experimental fans alike.

2. Forever Only Lasts Until You’re Gone
(2014)
Based on the theme
of lost love, this sequel to MyDoom takes the Subliminal style of dubstep and
amplifies it, reaching epic proportions of intensity before diving deep into
melancholy and angst. Unfortunately, some of the collaborative tracks were too
hit-and-miss to allow the album to top MyDoom. This album was uniquely designed
to have Track 1 continue where Track 14 suddenly cuts off, in order to be
played seamlessly in a continuous loop on compatible CD or mp3 players.

3. Remixes 1 (2014)
Rain Storm Jackson
has a knack for making remixes sound better than originals; it is one of her most notable traits as a producer. Here is a collection of Subliminal Stimuli’s
best remixes so far. No release date for Remixes 2 has yet been disclosed.

4. PG-13: Violent Content / Brief Nudity (2014)
This 2-track EP, released inexplicably on noise netlabel Garbage Men Puking, features a long, emotional, symphonic reprise of the First Power single “Timebomb”
followed by Subliminal Stimuli’s most insane remix EVER.

5. Morals N Junk (2012)
In the follow-up EP
to DoubleXX, Rain steps up her dubstep game while maintaining her IDM edge, drawing inspiration from artists like Skrillex and Aphex Twin. It's still an amateur work, but boasts significant improvement in production, featuring a collection of catchy bangers like the title track and her remix to
the Call of Duty: Zombies theme song.

6. Modulate EP (2012)
Showcasing a
noticeable improvement in technical skill, melodic depth and complexity, the
Modulate EP is what the Fucking ill EP wishes it was. However, it still features a couple tracks whose
poor bass-to-melody ratio were unable to hold listeners' attention.

minutes of synthesized piano and strings. The B-sides feature Rain’s first
shots at chiptune and minimal house.

8. Rejects (2015)
An aptly-titled
collection of tracks confirmed to NOT be released on the upcoming LP, NG+, these tracks are blended together
like a mini-FOLUYG, as sort of a teaser for the LP. Rejects follows up Secrets by returning to form, while
giving the dubstep-based tracks a high-voltage experimental kick that is much
appreciated. NG+ 2015 GET HYPE

9. Fleandro EP (2014)
Subliminal Stimuli
contributed two official remixes for Vlue’s track “Fleandro.” While Vlue’s
original is pretty cool, the Subliminal Stimuli remixes give it an added
flavor that DMoeFunk couldn’t touch.

Jackson’s most creative IDM-based tracks. The track titles suggest that most of
the Secrets have been nixed from release and thus remain secrets,
unfortunately.

11. Fucking ill EP (2012)
This EP is the
first of 2 EPs that focus mainly on dubstep with an industrial twist. While Fucking ill is a decent EP with some
interesting experimentation, the slow pace, soft beats and lack of melody or
depth in most tracks makes it rather
dull overall.

12. Sajat Szomorusag (2011)
A surprisingly
enjoyable dark ambient album, considering it's one of Rain’s earliest melodic
efforts. While much of the album consists of standard spacey synth pads and
bass, a couple tracks hit hard with twisted emotions, the prime example being
track 1, which has been speculated to see a remaster, though no evidence of
this happening has yet surfaced.

appearances by Vlue and Shroomhead One.

14. Let’s Not Dwell On The Past (2012)
Not exactly DoubleXX
2, but similar in its size and form. Just 3 tracks shorter than its 22-track predecessor,
LNDOTP is a collection of dubstep/EDM/IDM tracks created within the 7 months
since DoubleXX was released, condensed, and condensed again, and then later
discarded entirely. Much like DoubleXX, this collection is very hit-and-miss,
only here the hits are much greater, and the misses are slightly less.

16. DoubleXX (2011)
The first LP to
mainly emulate dubstep. While now considered one of her worst albums, it
indicated a quick surge in her production skill and musical creativity at the time of its release, and
features the first appearances of her trademark “noise drops,” tuneless walls
of bass and distortion over reverberating dubstep beats. The album also
features tracks created by Vlue, which often overshadow even the best of Rain’s
tracks.

17. First Power (2014)
First Power is very noticeably a rushed effort, whose
theme touches on the heartbreak and anguish later realized more completely in Forever Only Lasts Until You’re Gone.
However, compared to earlier works, the tracks on this arbitrary playlist of an
album are neither here nor there, and even the more fast-paced tracks seem to
be lacking in technical finesse. That’s not to say the tracks are horrible,
just that overall this album was a disappointing follow-up to the epic that was the MyDoom LP, released only 4 months earlier.

This is the only

Sites netlabel Channel Q. For those who are into ear-splitting distortion, this
ranks among the best noise albums, in my biased opinion. For everyone else, stay away.
