EastWest has released The Dark Side, created and produced by Doug Rogers and David Fridmann. The Dark Side is an unconventional, hip and exciting collection of virtual instruments, some dark and eerie, and some which have been purposely—and skillfully!—mangled, distorted, or effected out of all recognition.
