V/A - Twelve
in 2001
Brilliant, brilliant.... It's said that Raja Ram was inspired to make this
album with all the contributors when he was walking in the mountains and
rainforests of Brazil... Each artist got a certain tone and 6 minutes playing
time, and they've done it brilliantly... Definately the best chill-out album
of 2001... 9/10 Bom shankar!
-
Hmmm.... I have the exact same feelings about this cd as I do about
Headcleaner. Sometimes it RULES and sometimes is too boring... Some ppl ask
who Echolab are.... They are: Henrik Jonsson and Tomasz Galicki!! Rating 6.8/10! Bom shankar!
-
Amazing disc... I NEVER get tired of this and IMO this will never be dated.
This is up there along with "Twisted" and "Feeling Weird"... The only X-Dream
release that tops this is Radio with is a PERFECT album, but this is close...
Eleven is my personal highlight!... This is a CLASSIC piece of goa-history,
and EVERYONE should have this... When I've had enough of minimalism I put this
on and let my mind flow... Brilliant! 8.9/10! Bom shankar!
-
P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N. This will ALWAYS be one of my fav'e albums... So well
produced, and soooooo trippy.... Amazing! 9/10! Bom shankar!
-
I've waited SOOOOOO long for this album, and I was VERY happy when I finally
got it about a month ago... PeÁ and the crew are the MASTERS of minimalism
along with Wizzy Noise and XVK... This is the soundtrack for 2001... Very,
very nice.... 7.9/10! Bom shankar!

Just got this album as a warm-up for XVK's live performance in Løkken, Denmark
on May 5th 2001, and the first listen left me VERY disapointed, but as it is
often the case with minimalistic it really grows on you... Especially when
played really loud or in big ass head-phones.... This is a great album, but it
DOES get TOO REPETITIVE and works best in smaller doses... Like the tracks
KPO, Kante and Spaziergang ... Really nice when you're in a minimalistic
mood... 7.8/10 Bom shankar!
-
Complete, utter CRAP!... This is the worst kind of pathetic shit ever labeled
goa... AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Also - do not bye anything labeled "The Hypnotic
World Of Goa" ... A series of crap compilation by a Dutch record company named
Cool or something like that... WASTE OF TIME, MONEY and INTELLIGENCE.
0/10 Bom shankar!
-
I hafta agree.... This is simple, AP-like music and there is too little
variation in the tracks... Though there are a few good tracks, this comp. is
simply TOO cheesy... 4/10 Bom shankar!
-
Man!... I can't believe I forgot to review this album... Anyway, this album got
ALOT of playing-time in my stereo about a year ago, and for me, this has
become a REAL classic album and when it came out had a fantastic, unique
sound... All tracks are good, but my personal highlights are Pop, Travelling
At The Speed Of Thought, Thing, Supercell and of course the brilliant As A
Child I Could Walk On The Ceiling ... Amazing tracks!! 8.9/10 Bom shankar!
-
Like Ubik, I've also been hypnotized everytime I've listened to this album, and
that's why it's taken me so long to review this SMASHING album.... This is SO
BRILLIANT and is definately one of my all-time fav'e records... Brilliant... A
True classic! Get it!! Best tracks 1, 4 ,5 & 7 ... Bom shankar!
-
Very good album... My fav'e tracks are 1 + 8... Gets a solid 8/10 on my chart!
Bom shankar!
-
Yeah... What the hell is up with CD2?... MWNN sure isn't what he used to be...
Anyway, CD1 IS as good as CD2 is bad, so screw the second cd and listen to the
first... Filled with kickass tracks!... CD1: 7,3/10 CD2: Crap! Bom shankar!
-
Despite the bad reviews here, I couldn't resist buying this when I found it on
sale for as little as £2,5 ... And it really isn't that bad... Sure it would
be wrong to lable this "psychedelic", but still I like it... 7/10! Bom shankar!
-
This a amazing.... This old album is SO good and SO psychedelic.... A true
classic and EVERYONE should have this in their collection... GET IT!! 9/10 Bom
shankar!
-
First of all, let me say that I was EXTREMELY dissapointed when I first heard
this comp... Man, it sucked, but after about a month or so, I decided to give
it another try... And for the last week I've listened to it from start to
finish at least once a day, and I'm beginning to grow REALLY fond of this... I
don't know what to call this kind of music... But one thing is sure, it isn't
goa... It is psychedelic though, and that's all that's important to me... You
have to listen to these tracks MANY times to like them, but when you've done
that, you get hooked... My fav'es are Zodiac Youth : Cartographers Of The
Universe, Ticon : Stinking Thinking and Zen Lemonade : Squeeze Your Karma
[Almost sounds like something you could hear on the commercial radios doesn't
it?... Whatever the hell it is, I dig it! :-)]... Anyway... This started out
by being a 2/10 but has slowly develouped into a 7.5/10!... Bom shankar!
-
I knew this would happen... This is now officially upgraded to 8.1/10 ... Bom
shankar!

Review:
Second edition of the midpriced Goa Classix series from Nova Tekk. I'm not
sure, that if I'd had to compile a series of classic tracks I'd chosen all
these tracks. But there are REALLY good tracks on this CD. And when
considering the price (Available across Europe for about £5-7) this is a
VERY GOOD cd. Personal highlights for me are Shakta, Pleiadians, and
Chi-A.D. If this cd was full-prices I would have been more sceptic, but I
really think you get your moneys worth with this, and this is also a good cd
for ppl getting into psychedelic music, and wants to get to know some of the
old stuff before buying the full albums. Crappy artwork though! This gets a
7.5/10 in my chart! Bom shankar!

V/A - Goa Classix 1

Track listing:

09. 10'06" Planet BEN : Nonsense
Review:
Let me start by saying, that this compilation and Goa Classix Vol. 2 are
available at MIDPRICE . Meaning about £5-7 and I believe that they can be
found at that price all over Europe (Or world-wide wherever Nova Tekk is
distributed!) As the tracklist above reveals these are real goa classics,
and for me this is a good way of getting to know some of the old, classic,
but hard-to-get tracks from the past years of psychedelic trance. Stand outs
are Hallucinogen [Of course! :-)], Astral Projection [This is STILL one of
my fav'e Astral trax from before they sucked!], Green Nuns, Planet B.E.N., .
Yeah well, ALL the tracks are classics, and if anyone are having problems
finding the originals, I highly recommend this compilation. At a very
affordable price! The only thing that sucks about this comp is the artwork.
But all in all, this gets a solid 7.5/10 from me! Bom shankar!

Review:
Finally an album from Greek nutters Micky & Uriel who together are better
known as Wizzy Noise. Let me start this review by saying that this is
REALLY good. I haven't stopped listening to this since I got it. The album
has FULLY adopted the modern Euro-minimalistic style, but as some other
acts, this actually doesn't sound boring or repetitive. It works, and the
result is a VERY progressive, minimalistic and EXTREMELY psychedelic album.
As most minimalistic psy-trance, this sounds best on BIG ASS SOUNDSYSTEMS or
in headphones.. And I can't wait 'til hearing these fine tracks at parties.
Best tracks: ALL OF 'EM!. Yeah, I can't really name any standouts, as all
these tracks work for me. All are sprinkled with well-fitting samples and
all in all this is a VERY GOOD debut-album from Wizzy Noise! And if you're
into the whole minimalistic Yumade-Spirallianz-Paps-etc thing, then GET
THIS! You will NOT be disappointed! Rating 9/10 Bom shankar
-
Very, very good... Get this if you can find it... I found it at a local record
shop for only £8! ... And after listening to it, I would have paid double for
it!... Nuff said! 8.8/10 Bom shankar!
-
Pretty average comp.... The Etnica and Talamasca tracks are amazing... Infected
is somewhat .... Not infected! :-( ... But all in all this is fairly good...
7.1/10 Bom shankar!
-
This is PURE NOSTALGIA and for me, these sounds are STILL among the BEST EVER
produced... And when you think about it's was made 5 years ago, it blows your
mind... For me this is fantastic, and is up there with Hallucinogen's
"Twisted"... Very, very good, classic album. Fave's are: Telepathy,
Hyperspaced & Noises From The Darkness ... "Yes, the world at large is
fascinated with so called flying saucers. However, they do not fly, they
oscilate in between dimensions." Brilliant!
A well-deserved 8.9/10 from me! Bom shankar!
-
Not for the faint-hearted! ... This is some wild and crazy shit, and this has
got to be the HARDEST psy-release I've ever heard... This works VERY well on
MONSTER soundsystems or really expensive headphones, and though it can get
kinda-repetitive, I love this CD... "One Way Ltd." and "Submariniert" are
standouts for me! Get this -- or it will get you! 8.1/10
-
Yeah... This has been getting a lot of playing time in my cd-players in y2k ...
This is actually quite simple, but it sure does the trick for me! Stand-outs
for me are "The Hunter Becomes The Hunted" and "Telepathic Atmospheres" ...
Brilliant album that sticks to the basics of psychedelic trance. 7.3/10 Bom

10. 06'36" Zorba Feat Chicago : Voyage Of Ulysses
Review:
Here we have the follow-up for the very popular Movers & Groovers from last
year. And let me start by saying that this is IMHO a very worthy follow-up.
First up is Zorba with Chicago in a tracks that's kicks of slowly, but
slowly develops into something a bit harder, but still with a "lazy feel" to
it. Has a very nice squishy sound throughout the track that you either like
or hate. I personally like it. Brilliant track. #2 is the mad Swedes from
Logic Bomb who delivers one of their lighter and very melodic tracks here.
Has lots of bird-like sounds in it. ;o). #3 by Cyberbabas are veterans Benji
Vaughan and Raja Ram who delivers a simply BEAUTIFUL track. This is very
melodic and very psychedelic at the same time. Killer. Up next is #4
Spacefly who are also veterans in psychedelic music [Olli Wisdom & Albert
Moses]. This is a darker track with a heavier bass-line. Has a funny Monty
Phyton/Life Of Brian quote in the middle: "You are all individuals.YES,
WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS! .You are all different. YES, WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT!"
:-). Classic quote. I can't believe no-one ever used that before.Very nice,
dark pounding track here. #6 by ManMadeMan has a nice Arabian feel to it as
implied in the title. An quite OK track, but the whole Arabian feel tends to
get a bit boring towards the end of the track. Average track. Next up #6 is
the well-know Ticon track. This is GOOD. Starts of minimal, but Frederik &
Filip eventually throw in more and more amazing effects which forms a
fantastic track. The only flaw this track has, is that's it's too long. They
could have made it about 7 minutes. Anyway, this track ROCKS. We continue to
#7 which again is a Benji Vaughan project. He offers a true gem here. This
is definitely a slower track than Ticon, but still very good though perhaps
a little boring towards the end. Up next is Tycho #8 with track that almost
sound clubby at first. But don't worry, it's definitely not clubby, rather
dubby without really being dubby. Do I make sense here? What I'm trying to
say here is, that this track has a certain relaxed feel to it. Not my fav'e
on this comp. but still quite OK. #9 Now things are REALLY slowing down with
this Gus Till track which start out with dreamy sounds and female vocals
(!!). But then all of a sudden there is a bass-line slowly developing from
somewhere. A very relaxed one that continues for the rest of this VERY
MELLOW track along side the female voice Cozzie having multiple orgasms..
:-) Very nice.*gg* . Finally there's Zorba & Chicago [Again!] #10 on the
last track. If you thought that you were going to have a nice ambient track
as the last one, then think again! This is a full-on stomper and delivers a
VERY GOOD ending to this amazing compilation. Nice. All in all I can totally
recommend this compilation and it is a VERY WORTHY follow-up. At times it
reminds me of Order Odonata 5, so if you liked that you'll love this.
That's it! Rating 8.9/10 Bom shankar!
