    Haley retains the analogue wobble of his earlier work, particularly evident on 2010’s Cyanide Sisters and 2011’s Galactic Melt where his crisp and crunchy beats are at their impactful best. But on Persuasion System he’s combined them with stronger melodies and arrangements, elevating their effect from that of incidental, if still effective background music to the gripping theme of a main character.

    It is on the lighter side of heavy, and always crystalline.

    This sort of music is not intended for close listening, relying as it does on repetition and vibe. It does, however, deliver the sound that Com Truise is known for in abundance, and delivers it with a nuance that’s a cut above the other YouTube wannabes.

    Persuasion System signals a bit of a different approach for Haley, but not so much that it will alienate anyone who enjoyed his earlier releases.

    While earlier Com Truise releases were more suitable as a unique background companion to a sunset drive on a coastal highway, they oftenWhile earlier Com Truise releases were more suitable as a unique background companion to a sunset drive on a coastal highway, they often missed some of the strong craftmanship that Seth Haley is able to showcase here on what is perhaps his most interesting album to date.
    Ranging from ambient (Departure is wonderful) to some of the best synthwave tunes. "Existence Schematic", "Ultrafiche You" and especially the title track "Persuasion System" are exceptional. 9/10    … Full Review »
