Review:
Starts off with Mindfly(Denmark) which I haven't heard much off.
And nobody else I guess cuz he hasn't released that many
tracks yet. A progressive track with nice flow and very
good bongo-drums. He uses the percussions very well and
the come in exactly where you want them to come in.
There isn't much of a melodie, instead there is sound
layered so it creates a certain pattern for you to follow.
Good one.
Next up is Chikaka(Denmark). A fairly new artist making psytrance for
two years. At first it doesn't sound that interesting. A bassline
that floats into itself, it sounds weird to me. Altho it has
many strange sound it's lacking something, maybe speed or, atleast,
a decent bassline. I would say that this is minimalistic. I'm not
a big fan of minimal sooo...Those who are would like it.
Track #3 by Front Minimale(Denmark) wich is Cujorius One solo project. So
maybe you can guess who this one sounds. Many rattling sounds on
top of a kick mixed with percussions and stuff. A floor stomper indeed.
The fourth track by Psy Xs(Mexico). Is faster and harder than the others.
Contains some man-choirs and some violins or something. Has a more
rough feeling with more sounds going on at a time. I think it lacks
of that fast melodie you want to hear from these sounds. But in the end,
something close to it appears. Pretty good actually.
Fifth track with Ectopile(Israel). Three words. Heavy beats, slow rythms and
dark
atmosphere. Very cool sounds effects in this progressive track. It also
uses bongos but not to the extend as the first track. It builds up nicely
to a rythm mayhem. Also a good track.
Track number 6 by Cujorius One(Denmark) has that roaming sound. Ofcourse it goes
in the minimal footsteps. I don't really care much about this typ of
tracks. The seem to be 'random'. I don't know how to explain it.
#7 by Mazenga(Mazenga) is slow. Maybe 140. I looks like all of the tracks has
been around 140 bpm. None really fast one. However, this track has
a variated bassline wich I found so nice. I love it when they change it
often. Good work there. The percussions is also very well arranged. With drums
and hi-hits that complements the twisted sounds perfect. One bad thing; not
long enough.
Here comes #8, Dark Nebula(Australia). For me, the artist I've heard most from.
And is, in my
oppinion the most talanted of them. Finally some speed and screaming noises.
Very
weird track, very! Some sounds that are totally wicked. This track is so
unpredictable
you lose track of it. This is not for the easy-minded person. You know what I
mean.
The last track by Ron Lyner(Israel) got a smooth texture. Starts out pretty
slow with a
brrrroooouuum-ing sound in the background. Adding more and more percussions.
Soft bassline that floats nicely with the track. No strange things going on
here. Just
good music that plays.
This comp are maybe more for the progressive side of psytrance. Could be an
excellent floor
compil tho. Heave kicks and fat sounds through every track. And by the way, the
cover is
perfect.
Final Verdict: 6.6/10
