Abracadabra Horns & Hoofs Entertainment, 2006 1. Mantik - Siu Nim Tao 2. Alic - The Gentle Way Of Mind-Destruction 3. Fuzzion - Black Magic (Live Remix) 4. Metalogic vs. Michael Lawrence - Fabricated 5. Midimiliz - Model 1 (Epi Centrum Remix One) 6. Fuzzion - Acid Flash (Original Mix) 7. Metalogic vs. Tao - Through Your Head 8. The Rockitmen - Elephant's Boogie 9. Kino Oko - Beats, Rhythm And Harmony 10. Mass Turbo - Sin Sinati After the highly acclaimed releases, meaning "Idea FX" compilation from Jerzy Przeździecki and "Lost Entertainment" album by Grzegorz Magnuszewski, H&H Entertainment is again back in the game. Soon after the mentioned releases we have been given an opportunity to taste some fresh meat from the Moscow-based label, which does not suffer from the syndrome of deploying an army of worthless releases every week. This time it is the head of Boshke Beats, Alex Tolstey, who stands behind compiling the material onto the disc. We start with a tech-trance tune named "Siu Nim Tao", which enables us to feel post-nuclear carnage on our backs. It is an ideal tune for fans of thick, hypnotic climate and a solid foot. A perfect choice for a party, home listening, car listening or wherever you want it, especially with some nice company from The Delta or Triac. Alic (Volker Jakubik & Adam Zawadzki) ease things up a bit, although their track is far from being an attention grabber. Fuzzior also lets me down, serving our hearing organs a tune, whose complexity can be compared to that of Duplo building blocks. The monotonous atmosphere of "Fabricated" leaves us with the feeling of certain emptiness, because the track itself seems to be building up continuously and in the end it lacks any development. Judging by the names involved, track number 5 seems to be one of the most interesting tunes here. What we have here is a combination of Midimiliz and 1/3 of the Bigwigs crew. According to the expectations, the track proves to be a match for my taste. This german-polish combo is surely something that keeps coming back in our memory now and then. Fuzzion is back in the game, this time with a chunky bit called "Acid Flash (Original Mix)". Although his previous track let me down, this one is a real treat, mostly because of the fact, that it combines dynamic and tribal element in a perfect manner. Again we get an offering from Metalogic, this time in a collaboration with Tao. A bit over-the-top electro is all is can say about this one. The Rockitman is Alex Tolstey and Frederick Hatsav (Metalogic). Besides a cheeky name, the track itself did not do it for me. In "Beats, Rhythm And Harmony" Magnes easily escapes from being branded and continues the ideas behind his debut album, "Lost Entertainment". Obviously standing out from the rest, this optimistic tune was just what the doctor ordered. The Last track is "Sin Sinati" by Jerzy Przeździecki as Mass Turbo. Jerzy has crafted here a smooth, gliding tune (125 BPM), which exposes both light and more edgy elements. A very good ending of this CD. Here I should also mention about a really nice bonus, namely a mp3 track that CD-owners can download from the Internet thanks to the information given on the cover. The track is "Mantik - Siu Nim Tao (Punched Remix)", a pumped up version of the first tune. A real stormer I must say, just like the original. Alex Tolstey has managed to put together a quite nice compilation, although it is certain that I prefer some other releases from the labels catalogue. Unfortunately, next to interesting tracks we have some less appealing ones. Just two previous releases from Horns & Hoofs Entertainment have proved, that it is not easy music, especially not for people with brains flat as a snooker table. The CD attracts the ear of the listener according to the motif on the cover. It would seem that Horns & Hoofs, while steering away from clichés, pleases only a certain group of people in an particular way. Nonetheless these vibes will surely get wider appeal, especially with such figures as Mantik, Kino Oko and Epi Centrum on the chessboard.

Lemmi: does Guy Cojones qualify to be in the "elite"? http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=40996 Plus you never answered my previous question. That makes me a sad panda....

http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/ctr/ctr1cd002.html It's out! Edit: huh, some timing.

Try also Basilisk's page: http://www.ektoplazm.com/reviews/ Also, for more reviews, ask Lemmiwinks. He could be of some assistance as he seems to know all the "review-elite", as seen here: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=40883

But? http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/...rum/41/start/30

You mean like this one? Fits your description perfectly. Dunno about the word counter thou'... http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=36617 Besides, I don't think anyone will get offended by your words. I mean, come on, you liked the 1200 Mics album... (I know, I know, the one above is a typical "logical fallacy", I just couldn't help it... it's like a recurring gag for me, like Cartman telling Kenny his family is poor ) ps. Basilisk's reviews own. It doesn't matter to me where I read them.

An album on Spliff Music, huh? You could check out some topics concerning Spliff's ways of dealing with artists (not paying them etc.) on Isratrance forum... Nevertheless, good luck with the album man.

"12 Moons - Solid State" comes to my mind. This album is pure gold! Try it and most possibly you won't regret it.

The cover says different.

The samples sound bombastic. I wonder how many whining posts will I read here in the morning, though.

Just finished listening to the teaser... Though Brits know shit about cooking, they sure make the best (IMO) psytrance music. Period.

After seeing this topic it is beyond any doubt that Ale needs to get laid. Maybe a "lets-chip-in-for-a-hooker" topic?

The topic should be titled: When will Ale finally score? Choose your year.

Looking forward to this compilation, came as a bit of a shock for me must say. Pleasant shock that is. As for the cover, Jikkenteki and FP said it all. Remarks concerning sexism remind me on the other hand a South Park episode entitled "Chef Goes Nanners" (if I'm not mistaken, anyhow 'twas the episode where Chef is against the South Park flag). If you have seen it, you will get the idea what I'm talking about. ... and a beer for Ace of course!

It doesn't have anything to do with taking things personal (as I've stated before, I wasn't offended), it has to do with you knowing nothing / zero / null / ziltch about things. As for the PMS thingy - you should know best, you're the queen of it.

"Without trying to offend anyone (...)" You didn't offended anyone, dear Elysium, at least not me, you just made a fool our of yourself by writing such statements, but that's what people get when they have absolutely no idea about the subject. Think before you write. Do not worry, happens to everyone. As a co-founder of Psytrance.pl I could write a long essay here, but I'm gonna stick to what Antic said (pretty much on the spot). Plus, I don't know if a decade makes us (Poland) new to the scene... ps. some vital links for the uneducated http://www.psytrance.pl/scene.php http://www.psytrance.pl/galleryindex.php As it goes for Eskimo, well... if I want to see monkeys or clowns I go to the zoo or to the circus.

Nice. ps. Now, lets point fingers and laugh at antic.

I have traded with Antic several times... Smooth trades, good communication, the items are neatly packed. Templar's recommendation.

Well, well... Samples from three new track available, check out this link: http://www.myspace.com/psysandman

In my case it will be Vibrasphere - Archipelago - pure bliss!

Quote by Dado: hi there!!!! we are compiling a compilation cd containing rare tunes from our band TRANSWAVE. We have collected a lot of tracks, stuffs never released(!), stuffs released only on vynil format, stuffs from obscure compilation cds , etc ...

All of you STFU. An omnipotent being such as Radi doesn't need such pathetic things such as Shpongle CDs. Or any CDs for that matter. Apsolutli.

Here's my old review of Alien vs The Cat album: http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/...c/41708/forum/9

MFG - Project Genesis (Phonokol) 10,00 Euro I would like to reserve this one. How is the condition of this CD? Antic: could you also buy this one (MFG) for me together with your Psychaos? I would send the money d to you asap.

Samples: http://www.arabesque.co.uk/index.php?optio...id=165&Itemid=2 "Pipeworm" brings back good ol' memories from London's Twisted Records Party!
