    Para Halu - Space Rock (2007)

    in 2007

    Posted

    I'm usually not impressed by the so called dark psytrance, but I tend to find one or two albums per year that are really good. This year I've already found one of those great albums. Para Halu's Space Rock is dark, hypnotic, twisted and psychedelic night trance. Highly recommended!

    Results for Best of 2006!

    Nice to finally have the results, good work.

     

    Some comments:

     

    1. If there are only 76 participants spread over 24 countries there is really no reason why the bars should show the percentage, the absolute numbers are just as valid and more interesting.

     

    2. Reconsider if the current form of voting is relevant. 87 % of all releases in the contest received less then 5 votes and the median number of received votes is 1. That is, most albums only received one vote. A problem with this kind of ranking is that the voter is forced to rank a number of releases even though he or she might not feel that there's that big of a difference between the top five releases.

     

    3. Another alternative way is too divide the contest into two parts. Step one is to let anyone nominate albums, let's say ten albums. The second step is the actual voting phase where only albums that received more then let's say five nominees are allowed to partake in the actual contest.

     

    4. If only the number of received votes is taken into account and not the ranking/points then the list would look slightly different. The first column represents the new order and the second column the current order and the third column is the name of the album/compilation. Filteria is still number one, but OOOD is moved one step up and Jikkenteki one step down. Electrypnose is moved from 14 to 8 and the New Order compilation from 30 to 13.

    In July 1996, Twisted Records was born with the release of the first single ‘Deranger’. The first sound Twisted ever made was ‘I’m going to lead you, kicking and screaming, giggling and laughing into the future…’

     

    This self fulfilled prophecy has been realised with the creation of the Twisted 10 Year Anniversary DVD. Based largely on the Twisted Anniversary party on the 27th of October 2006 in London, a Halloween fancy dress extravaganza where almost all of the artists associated with Twisted over the years played their part and 2300 people turned up dressed even freakier than usual. This made quite a spectacle as you can probably imagine. The whole event was filmed and photographed with some of the best bits making it onto this DVD.

     

    EVENT COVERAGE

    You’ll find a selection of prime dance floor moments including unreleased tracks performed LIVE by Hallucinogen, Transwave, and Younger Brother and some recent releases from the likes of Prometheus, Shpongle and Koxbox. Re-live the experience of the Twisted Anniversary or enjoy it for the first time if you were one of the many who couldn’t get tickets for this landmark event in our history.

     

    INTERVIEWS

    Interviews with Hallucinogen, Younger Brother, Raja Ram, Tristan, Prometheus, Koxbox & Dado give you an insight into the personalities, motives & mindstates behind the music.

     

    STUDIO TOURS

    As an added bonus for you techies you can see how they work their magic with special studio tours from Simon Posford, Benji Vaughan, Ott, Koxbox and Dado. For the first time, these secretive characters give you a proper glimpse of their methods and machinery.

     

    HALL OF FAME

    There are photographs galore of all the weird and wonderful characters and costumes that appeared on the night which can be found as a slideshow on the DVD. This is the Twisted Hall of Fame. Find your friends amongst the melee whilst listening to classic music from the label. Reminisce on the crazy faces that flashed past you that night or be amazed at the effort and colour in the crowd. These are the faces that have supported our label over the years and they have gone down in the hall of fame.

     

    DJ & VJ Mix

    Ott’s Levitating Turtle DJ Mix is a 45 minute unique blend of Twisted downtempo classics set in time to some top quality VJing from Inside-Us-All. Sit back at home and bliss out to your favorite tracks with some seriously stimulating visuals.

    It might be that Alienated Buddha is not the best goa ever made...

    Electric Universe - Silence in Action

    in 2006

    Posted

    The first four tunes are excellent: upbeat, fun, groovy and melodic. Certainly among the best full on tunes released in 2006. But from track 5 and onward the album lacks variation and there are two tunes featuring electric guitars which in my book is always unlistenable.

     

    3/5

    V/A - Multiple Personalities 2

    in 2006

    Posted

    Yet another "dark" compilation of over compressed harsh digital noise.

     

    The only interesting act is CPC vs Para Halu. They deliver a deep, hypnotic masterpiece, too bad it's surrounded by unimaginative fillers.

     

    You can certainly do without this compilation.

     

    1/5
