Guest pyg-mies[at]stc[dot]cx Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 Kingston Wall - Freakout Remixes Artist: Kingston Wall Title: Freakout Remixes Label: Zen Garden Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 00'17" Intro 02. 06'30" I Hear You Call (Possibly Apple Rmx) 03. 03'50" We Cannot Move (Texas Faggott Rmx) 04. 05'29" I'm Not The One (Praktika Rmx) 05. 07'09" With My Mind (Accu Rmx) 06. 07'30" Use To Feel Before (Squaremeat Rmx) 07. 06'22" Palekastro (Mukta Rmx) Review: Well, this was the record that I had been waiting since last winter - it's a CD release from a Finnish techno label called Exogenic Records (http://www.exogenic.com) that includes remixes of songs made by the late Finnish psychedelic/progressive rock band KINGSTON WALL (http://mirrorland.tripod.com). OZRIC TENTACLES had their techno-remix CD, so I guess now it's rightfully KINGSTON WALL's turn. On this album you can hear remixes of those good old KW songs made by POSSIBLE APPLE, TEXAS FAGGOTT, PRAKTIKA, ACCU, SQUAREMEAT and MUTKA (total of seven tracks of which the first one is 'Intro', seemingy made by the band members theirself). Some of the remixes are excellent and some ar not as good, or should I say, not as good when you're not on psychedelic drugs (err), but there were in my opinion no bad tracks at all, which was actually a suprise, since usually most remix-CD's fall down when it comes to "keeping the whole CD in one piece". My personal favourites were Possibly Apple's "I Hear You Call"-remix, TEXAS FAGGOTT's _very intense_ Goa2000-rmx of "We Cannot Move" (watch out, Hallucinogen! ) and ACCU's extremely talented groovy, even a bit funky, mainly downtempo rmx of "With My Mind" whereas the other tracks in my opinion sort of "forgot" about the original songs and were mostly just psychedelic trance than KW remixes (well, except for those few riffs and lyrics that were mixed in). The biggest downside to this CD, on the other hand, is it's length of only 37 minutes and it is still priced as a full-length CD. But in this case, I must say that you should rather concentrate on the quality than on the length. I'm a die-hard KINGSTON WALL fan myself and I just loved some of the remix-tracks, but those who think that the the third KW album was too experimental, should be cautious with this one. As for the rest of you, it's pure Exogenic atmosphere all the way.. freak out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest parair[at]parair[dot]org Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 Honestly, I expected more from the album. I thought it might take the hypnoticy in KW music to a new level. On the contrary, KW III is far more hypnotic, psychedelic and it's even more trance than this one. And being so, why there is no KW III remixes? As pyg-mies I liked the Possible Apple, Texas Faggott and ACCU remixes the most. The vocal sample on I'm Not The One makes me so sick I can't even listen to the song. In Palecastro, one of my favourite KW songs, all the best parts were left out from the remix? Of course, this is only opinion, but for me this album is merely a joke. Forgive being negative, but I take KW music very seriously and I think they would have deserved a more seroius remix. Don't get me wrong, I love also electronic music and I know the featured artists can do some great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest god[at]here[dot]now Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Freakout remixes is absolutely horrible shit! Kingston Wall is one of the greatest rock bands in the world ever. They just don't don't deserve this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masque Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 Possibly apple and Squearemeat have done great job, but the others.. uww. Don't buy this album, if you're not a die-hard-Kingston wall fan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John D. Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 KW is KW, but some people don't understand this as a tribute from todays artists to the legendary Kingston Wall. This is a plus not a minus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *LOVE----ALL-------SERVE------AL Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 It is ZEN GARDEN PRODUCTIONS and absolutely nothing to doo with exogenic. How serious is life to someone who is dead? I personally think that the message of the LORDS in the afterdeath has allways been "NO WURRIES!! YOU ARE A SILLY WHOMAN TAKING LIFE SO SERIOUSLY, NOW GO BACK AND SMILE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IIR.O.KIIqRuNgE!! Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 Kingston Wall is one of the best bands in the world, but freak out remixes is on of the worst albums in the world. Kw´s singer/guitarist Petri Walli have hatet this album too, but he suicided somewhere 1995, so he couldn't stop of making this shit album. ( sorry my bad english language) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zippiwippi[at]jippii[dot]fi Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 This album is the best way of showing respect of the most professional finnish underground musicians. KW would have loved and honoured this great job of these finnish masters!! Finnishunderlovegound. NO more judging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shacker[at]demon[dot]ac Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 It´s Possible Apple. Not Possibly. There is spelling error on the album. The album it self, is a average listening experience. Few wrelly good tracks, few not so good. I give 3 / 5 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Anonymous] Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Wich is badder, That somebody makes remixses like this. Or somebody releases remixes like this? I think that guys who made this album, respected the original band good enough. I´ts just theyr´e vision of songs. But i dont know, if this album was very klewer thing to do at all. Few good works! Some of tracks... eerm, Were you in horry or smthng? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 My opinion is that KW was the greatest band ever. I think that this remix album sucks a bit and I don't know for sure if the band would have liked this. But I think that Petri Walli would have because he liked trance music. (So I've heard).

Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 some people just don't get it. first of all, pete walli was very much into techno music. Kingston Wall even performed live (under a secret name) in goatrance rave parties. second of all, i think that Pete knew most of these artists who appear on this album. Third, making an album like this, no matter what you say, it's still made in honour of kingston wall and the people behind this album are still professional musicians in the finnish electronic music scene. and the fourth thing is: DO NOT TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY. I think that humour and just HAVING FUN, expermenting with weird sounds etc was a stronge force within Kingston Wall - if you saw them live, or on bootleg videos, you'd realize. Walli himself said, even in his last interviews, that you shouldn't take things too seriously and therefor not all of the remixes are so seriously made either (or shouldn't be taken too seriously at least).. SMILE, GO ON AND SMILE! peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
