Alright listen up, it's been almost ten years I'm listening to this comp and frankly put, it's fucking IN-CREDIBLE.
it begins with Paps who is (or was, anybody knows what's up with him these days?) an excellent artist with his first release and what a track it is. amazing from the beginning to end. it takes you and doesn't stop. I never heard anything like this.. alien hollow pads are being transmitted from another dimension while squealing sounds are blasting your mind, add to that sword sharp percussion and a changing wooden kick. I can't describe this track accurately, it's really from another planet. it's not your regular goa/psy/dark or whatever track. this track is the shining beacon of the compilation. paps - vibes from the other side.
I won't discuss the next track much, you probably all know that Atmos track, and it is a killer. great buildup leading to an insane climax where a sawtooth wave is joined to the bassline to emphasize the beat. it grabs you once and doesn't stop.
next are TE. this is a very weird and different track by them, unlike anything they normally do. it's very dark and pumping. VERY dark and very pumping. I like this track, it grew on me.
Sparkling Soup is here in the original mix, and this is truly dance time. what a bassline.. that 303.. smoke it, and get high! excellent pounding kick, great percussion - an awesome fast progressive track with haunting echoing voices at the background and phat resonating sweeps on front. another fav.
Tripiatrik. after Voodoo People almost put me to sleep I get this. back in business!! a project by Paps and Yumade made for pure craziness.. I love it. reverbing sweeps are all around, pure acid madness with prodigy percussion and crazy voices! once this one takes on you you'll understand.
last track is Bus with an excellent track, built on the them of 50's movies, lots of vocals and very interesting samples. it ends the trip with this album in a climax. great.
when this compilation came out, I was very satisfied, I felt like the TIP tradition really continues. but unfortunately, that was the last of the good TIP compils. this compilation is TIP's goodbye aliens, next come puppies statement.
a very psychedelic compilation which can stand proudly next to Singles 3, Beyond Colour and 3D.
