Review:
The first cd from the weird-named 21-3 label. The cd has nice artwork inside
but unfortunately it starts with a psychedelic D'n'B song (not my style) and
gets followed by a regular psy-trance song which is too boring for me. The
Digitalis song is much more powerful Psy-Trance in typical Brittish style
(fast acidic)! Eat Static made chilled D'n'B here and after that we get more
of the same by CBD. Deviant Electronics comes after and what a killer track...
Bouncy bassline and fast acidic melodies. In the middle we have a short d'n'b
influenced break and after that the song continues with some rather fluffy
melodies! The Manmademan track is also very nice morning-style psy-trance
music with some soft guitars and tribal sounds. Completely different of what I
have heard from him! Andy Guthrie is D'n'B again, so let's skip that one.
Medicine Drum made a slow song with some tribal percussion and soft
background-melodies. The cd ends with a soft and chilly d'n'b-like song. B!
uy this cd only if you like Psychedelic mixed with Psy-Trance! 4/10 (because I
don't like D'n'B) Bom!

Let's not skip the breakbeats and drum'n'bass!what a shame this label isn't
around anymore,as they [along with symbiosis and matsuri]put out some of the
best music[of whatever kind]of the late 1990's.psychedelic dance music doen't
start or end with psytrance[particularly the sort of minimal[non]progressive
crap that passes for trance now]and this cd is a very good introduction to
some more forms of adventurous electronic music that should be incorporated
into parties today to break up the monotony of straight 4/4 rhythms all night
[and morning].ok,so track 2 isn't that great ,but the others are well worth a
listen.---9.5/10
[there was also a great follow up compilation called 'elastic', and a 'best
of..' the 21-3 label called 'selected highs'--recommended.

All boundaries are illusion but that said there's no conclusion. What we have
here is not that psychedelic - it's psy-trance with some experimentation
involved. And that experimentation is not well-developed here: even Eat Static
& Deviant Electronics tracks were expected to be better then what they are.
Nevertheless, it's good tiny step forward for the time it was released, though
these experiments seem to be formulaeic again when taken by retrospective from
the time we're now in. The new time yields new horizons, new boundaries to
break into - these what we once thought of as our farthest limits are now just
illusion, the territory settled, the untamabale creatures tamed. And no one
cares how "experimental" they were back then for they're not psychedelic
enough now. It's the matter of taste however...And I do like t.7 by Manmademan
for it's flute'n'mood. Ts.1,3,4,8,10 are only decent, the rest, well... 5,5/10
