12 years ago when this was released it might have been on the cutting edge of South African psytrance. The edgy, dark melodic stuff that Nexus Media and Timecode were known for. But now, it seems a little shallow. Other artists have picked up the baton and run further and faster. Still, tracks like Front and Left, Paratrak, and the Chris Hoy written On the Floor have that brooding edge he's capable of.

Artist: Sesto Sento Title: Key To The Universe Label: Com.Pact Records Date: 2008 1. Sesto Sento Vs. Systemic - Human Nation 2. Key To The Universe 3. Sub6 Vs. Pixel - Teder Beseder (Sesto Sento Remix) 4. Sesto Sento Vs. Electro Sun - Connecting Minds 5. Moby - Lift Me Up (Sesto Sento Cover / Remix) 6. Funk-A-Delic 7. Mysterious Ways 8. My Trip To Fantasy 9. Lost Key Ho. Lee. Sh*t. I could swear that I just did a review of what I thought at that time had to be the absolute worst psytrance release I've ever heard. But less than a month later this album tops it. Which begs the question...how many flaming pieces of sh*t are out there? This album is a full-on disaster, but there are a lot of those. What makes this extra special sh*t sandwich is that for whatever reason these rocket scientists went all Infected Mushroom and decided that singing was the thing missing that would put it over the top. Look I get it that there are actual Israeli artists that can sing (probably), but no amount of auto-tune can save these guys. And as the album goes on it's one nut shot after another. The creme de la creme? If you weren't happy enough slamming your d*ck in the car door, a DVD is included which has the video of their remix of the Moby track. Key to the universe? I don't think this could be the key to the port-a-sh*tter. There was actually a sample that said the word moonbow. Just let that pretentious horsesh*t sink in. Psyshop

Good review Antic. Head meet nail. The second album from Arkadii Tronets is quite the blaster isn't it? Whereas his debut Sounds From Tomorrow (which I thoroughly enjoyed) was firmly rooted in the nitzhogoa sub-genre, this is a pure goa assault. Powerful in your face kicks and high tempo melodies are everywhere. There are plenty of breaks here to catch your breath and like Antic said nary a whisper of nitzhonot silliness. A very underrated album methinks.

Artist: RA Title: Earthcall Label: Suntrip Records Date: September, 2016 1. Terra 2. Predator (Remix) 3. Sacred Sands 4. Crossing Planet 5. 12th Hour (feat Menkalian) 6. Touch a Star 7. Causatum "The deepest level of truth uncovered by science and by philosophy is the fundamental truth of unity." Man it's getting harder and harder to keep up with these releases. Like a lot of you there is an absolute avalanche of music on my computer that I'm trying to get through and I'm drowning over here. All the coffee and cigarettes in the world ain't gonna help. So many albums that I want to review, but I just can't seem to find the time. However, when someone asks me to construct a review I do my best to put it at the top of the list. For those of us who have been long time goa trancers this Norwegian duo is goa royalty. They've been there since the beginning, and Earthcall is their fifth album. For me they garner the same amount of respect you would give the Pleiadians or MFG, all wise purveyors of Eastern melodies and part of the foundation from which goa music is built. They play the long game on this album with lengthy tracks that seem designed to hold you in that state of trance. The music is a drifting melody blanket providing comfortable cushion for a dreamy ride. Having never been a real fan of the Predator track in the first place, I had high hopes for the remix, but it played it safe and ultimately will be one of those tracks that fades into obscurity. Sacred Sands gets more aggressive yet still maintains the floating melodies and supportive details. The longest track on the album Crossing Planet is in the same vein with a more active and nimble lead perfect for twisting and twirling. Man that one just keeps churning. 12th Hour has a mysterious intro, but the track while good has a bit of a generic "goa" feel that fails to form any emotional connection. Touch a star gives a tip of the cap to the Crossing Mind sound, with a drifting, pensive track. Eerie even. As the album progressed the tempo and intensity increased it seems only fitting that just like in the good old days of goa they would end on a downtempo note. And man it's a good one. The sound exhibits power while spewing alien mysticism into the atmosphere. Well done. If you're wanting an album with insane 303 sequences and hard hitting power then you don't understand what this project does. They make melodic, flowing goa trance to transport the listener which holds he or she aloft. The album is super melodic (surprise) and very trance inducing. I had zero issues with the sound or the hot topic of mastering and enjoyed the tracks for what they are. While not my favorite Suntrip release, it's still top quality and a must for goa collectors.

Artist: Safi Connection Title: Shout Aluma Label: Spliff Music Date: 2006 1. Trip dot Com 2. Reborn Free (Album Edit) 3. Hope Matters 4. Over Me 5. Shout Aluma 6. D.M.A. 7. Music 8. Bitter Sweet 9. Stanko 10. Lolly Bong It has taken a long time, but I do believe I have finally found the worst psytrance album ever produced. Ever. I don't know if that's his kid on the front, but if you think that's gonna prevent me from taking this down you are so wrong. The world needs to know. This is the total package of horrible. From the absolute sh*t show of a front cover to the terrible vocals found within this disc can only aspire to be a coaster. The lead sounds are annoying and the melodies are as childish as the cover. Was this put together in an afternoon? Was a bet lost? Top to bottom horrible music that made me want to kick a piano. And how dare you cornhole Master and Servant from Depeche Mode in here? And then to sh*t all over Bittersweet Symphony? Ok...I'll let that one go. Really people, there have to be some rules otherwise we cease to function as a society. I would bury this in the ground, but I fear it would crawl out and continue to walk among us. Best we burn it, scatter the ashes, and never speak of this again. God help us. Psyshop

Xerox & Illumination - The Beast Within (HOMmega Records)
Trance2MoveU replied to Guy Cohen's topic in 2007
'Welcome to the next generation of science!" Oh how the mighty have fallen... Skittletrance. Full-on with the cavity causing commercialism that causes involuntary eye rolls. Which is a shame because the intro was a dark and brooding opener! It's like they did the absolute minimum they could do for this to qualify as psytrance. Ya hear that bass line in Virtual Violence? Made me think of this: I suppose you could pluck Bass Safari from the refuse, but that's about it. And what the f*ck is with the house track at the end? Seriously...this just set science back to phrenology. -
Artist: Zopmanika Title: Mysteryland Label: Sita Records Date: April, 2016 1. Liquid Dreams 2. Ice Queen 3. Crystalinks 4. Annular Eclipse 5. Fantasy Land 6.Trip To Nowhere 7. As Far As The End of the Sky (Feat. Agneton) 8. Look Into Yourself 9. Lost Touch With Reality He can't believe he's gonna get another crack at those interns... I'm a pretty busy guy, so I don't get to review as many albums that I'd like. Remember when we'd get like...4 goa releases a year in the mid 2000's? Well those days are gone and it can be difficult to keep up with the amount of new talent that's bursting onto the scene. Sita is run by Elias Gits and if you're Facebook friends with him you know that he's really busy being handsome and playing parties all over the world. After a very quiet 2015 Sita Records released the debut album of Bojan Taneski and man it was like...crickets. Did you hear anything about it? I sure didn't. Now Sita is the label that attempts to combine Nitzhonot with goa trance into a sound we can all enjoy and for the most part they've been successful. Personally I'm not a fan of the nitzhonot genre...too crazy and goofy. But there have been albums where it when blended with goa trance it has been done well. This is a bit of a mixed bag. Ice Queen is a powerful track with racing melodies while the longest track here Crystalinks stumbles with its changes in tempo and those same hyper melodies. I believe Trip To Nowhere strikes the right balance and even that gets a little cheesy near the end. Oftentimes it gets a little too Fiddler on the Roof for me. There are pumping beats throughout, but there are also segments of tracks where it's empty thumping or saturated with fist pumping nitzho craziness. And all that craziness is getting me tired. Perhaps nitzhonot is a young man's music, so the kids in Israel and Greece will probably love this. Yes I realize the irony of saying the music appeals to the young while using a gif from an old movie. Smart guy. Bottom line this is heavily nitzho influenced so if that ain't your bag baby, best move on. Psyshop Beatspace

"We are still here!" Yes, but why? The bassline in Isis Crisis is too obnoxious to take and a lot of the full-on isn't anything to write home about. Love me some sHifT, but I bet even he would say this wasn't his strongest track. And it was the best one on here. Ormion nailed it though when he said it would fit perfectly on his Excession album. I really like the South African style, but this stuff doesn't really hold up to other albums from other South African labels. But sh*t man...it was 2004, so...I ain't mad at ya.

PsySutra - Nebulla Cebulla (Neogoa Records)

Artist: Circular Title: Moon Pool Label: Ultimae Records Date: July, 2014 1. Lunokhod 2. Selenic Light 3. Theory of Tides 4. Ashlands 5. Three Moons 6. Imbrium (featuring AES Dana) 7. Synchronous 8. Meteorites "You think you're safe? You are not." The wizards at Ultimae strike again with the latest album from this Norwegian duo. I usually only collect goa, but this label has produced so much quality music that I'm thinking of jumping on the Ultimae bandwagon. That loud "F*ck you!" was from my wallet. And probably my wife also if she ever finds out. Just a few notes... Lunokhod begins as an ambient piece with drifting sounds and emotions for most of it's 13 minute length before a steady thumping kick drives it home. Great opener that blends real world instruments, electronics, and nature sounds. Selenic Light is a massive glacier of shimmering sound reflecting the sunlight right into your eyes. Nary a beat to be found. Theory of Tides is another atmospheric gem that tickles the abstract before it also delivers a steady kick after a lengthy ambient beginning. Deliciously long and satisfying. Ashlands is the most aggressive track yet with a churning, bubbling cauldron of forlorn melodies and electronic sounds. 3 Moons has a deep bass that provides the framework for the smile inducing melody and the bubbling 303 rumbling underneath. You have to strain to hear it, but that draws me deeper into the music. Imbrium featuring Aes Dana is a glitchy track with strong dub overtones. Distorted almost, but it became more enjoyable once the beat disappeared. Imbrium flows right into Synchronous and at the outset is cosmic ambient at its finest. All the layers are perfect, a true front row seat to the moving galaxy. The beat kind of ruins it for me though and it becomes too cluttered. Meteorites closes it out with a very positive and hopeful track that combines the cosmic atmosphere and the sounds of nature. A very good album that I will certainly come back too. Relaxing and thought provoking. Ultimae Psyshop

Artist: Trinitix Title: Aspeclaria Label: Sigma Records Date: April, 2005 1. Moira (Rmx) 2. Aspeclaria 3. Eskimo - Popcorn (Trinitix Rmx) 4. Trinitix Vs. Electro Nation - Black Hole 5. Trinitix Vs. Hypersonic - Psychedelic Samurai 6. Trinitix Vs. Star-X - Wakannai 7. La Musica 8. I'm U R DJ (Live Mix) 9. Let's DUI (Live Mix) There are certain projects and albums that will be better remembered for their album art than for whatever is located inside. May I introduce to you one such creature. What do you get when you cross two titans of the full-on genre Holymen and Dynamic? Full-on sandwich with a side of full-on. Triplet bass lines, melodies of the cheesy variety, multiple drug samples, and an echo on the kick drum to begin the track. Basically your full-on starter pack. The music is no worse than your regular generic full-on, but also no better. By the way if you're wondering how many times full-on was written the answer is 7. But that cover tho! Psyshop

Great review. Normally an EP with remixes of the same track is a bit of a no go for me as they all tend to sound the same, but it's not the case here. The original track is a superb blaster layered with melodies and loaded with dynamism. All the mixes are great and not carbon copies. As mentioned the JIS remix is the one that suffers the most as it had to follow the original and Renato's take. Still a great track on it's own, just gets a little lost. The LSD remix is a stellar companion to the original and probably my favorite here. Powerful and lush it rockets through space leaving shimmering melody trails in its wake. And because Cactus Arising follows LSD he suffers the same fate as the JIS mix. Good track on its own, but the victim of poor placement. Closing things out is the didgeridoo based slow version at a lengthy 12 minutes. The slow, plodding beat is hypnotic and a quality comedown from the speedy stuff without sacrificing the lovely details. This is a great EP and I can't wait for his next album.

"Anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears...right about now!" Or just, I dunno...turn over and hide under the pillow. Yeah that'll work. Right here is proof that not everything ages well. Wine...I'll give you that. Halle Berry...yep. But this...nope. First there is nothing really goa to be found here and that's fine. Certainly there is good psytrance, but man I had to pinch myself to stay awake during this. The music is like a transition from minimal to the full-on version of psytrance. The early version. Not a lot of melodies to speak of and I personally didn't find any atmosphere to speak of. Just not a lot here. I'm going back to bed.

Artist: Astrix Title: He.Art Label: HOM-Mega Productions Date: February, 2016 1. Shamanic Tales 2. Deep Jungle Walk 3. Alien Turned Human 4. Valley of Stevie (with Ace Ventura) 5. He.Art 6. Agate (with Ritmo) 7. Sapana (Album Version) 8. Awake The Snake (with Tristan) 9. Juno Reactor - Conquistador (Astrix Remix) 10. He.Art (Continuous Mix) Jeez, get a room. Used to love He-man. Had all the action figures (call them dolls and I'm gonna punch you in the face). Beast-man, Skeletor...even had Castle Grayskull. Looking back I never realized how homo-erotic those things were. Figured they just had a lot of muscles, and the tv show didn't help. But like a lot of sh*t you outgrow it. Soon girls became the main focus and no chick is going to date a dude who has a bunch of these things lying around. Like those toys, I feel I also outgrew Astrix. Sure I loved Eye to Eye when it came out, but musical tastes change and listening to it now just leaves me wanting more. Doesn't hold up, and while he was always into the full-on, he seems to have acquired an even more commercial sound with subsequent albums. So when this was passed on to me I gave it the full Leonard Nimoy. It says Astrix on the cover, but this doesn't sound like him. Hell listening to the uber-long opener it sounds like he kidnapped Simon Posford and got him duct taped in the trunk. Very tribal and mystical with loads of changes. Deep Jungle continues the deeper exploration of sound and it's very refreshing. Valley of Stevie was a more aggressive style of full-on and Sapana had a bunch of weird sounds, but finished on a strong, growly note. And that break was sick. I liked where he was going with the Conquistador remix, even after the triplets showed up. The whole album is deeper and more detailed than expected. Sure sometimes he reverts back to the full-on dude we always knew him to be (He.Art, Awake the Snake), but this was a really great effort that I didn't see coming. If you get the CD you get artwork of course, a sticker, and a poster. If you get the digital format you get a continuous mix of the entire album. Decisions decisions. Beatspace Psyshop

Artist: Various (It's Filipe) Title: Emotions From A Beija Flor Label: Good Dance Recordings Date: August, 2016 1.Jonni Dongju - Lion Savannah 07:07 2.Mana Source - Samurai 06:28 3.Tanzaku - Tanabata 06:56 4.Gankyil - Dhyani 06:25 5.Mana Source - Weevils Fly 06:22 6.Chynacid - Zen Dimensions 07:07 7.Medusis - Profound 07:40 8.Amithaba Buddha - Psyramid 07:53 9.Mana Source - Bonsai 07:13 10.Athenaia - Secret 06:38 11.Rainbow Islands - Seventh Heaven 06:08 Now this type of deja vu I don't mind. The Filipe Santos recycled greatest hits tour continues with his latest digital release. As I mentioned before in other reviews of his work I believe him to be more machine than man, churning out so many quality goa trance tracks that it defies imagination. The music is pure uptempo, melodic, layered goa and normally he intersperses some new tracks amidst the older stuff. Not today Gertrude. All have been released before, but from top to bottom this album is a blistering affair. Not a single dull moment to be found and one of the best collections of his music to date in my opinion. He should comment less on forums and get back to doing this type of stellar work, we'd all be better for it I'll tell you. I'm especially thankful for the Psyramid track as I had forgotten how utterly bad ass it was! My other favorite is Weevils Fly, a full-throated screamer of a track. Aside from the horrible cover (and let's be honest it's been a run of those) this thing is damn near flawless. Highly recommended. Good Dance Recordings

Artist: Various (It's Filipe) Title: Zamaneh Sanguine Label: Good Dance Recordings Date: August, 2016 1. Washi - Shodo 2. Amithaba Buddha - Regain Control 3. Athenaia - Orphic Mysteries 4. Gankyil - Le Labyrinthe De La Grisaia 5. Pandemonium! - Sequoia 6. Ba'al - Profane 7. Pandemonium! - Clown In A Bag 8. Lost Buddha - Spiral Rotation 9. Pandemonium! - Wishing Machine 10. Amithaba Buddha - Uncharted Planet 11. Sphere of Consciousness - Sphere of Consciousness Bipolar disorder is no joke. Mood swings that can be severe, lasting months and is oftentimes hard to diagnose. Panic attacks. Real ones, not the ones we suffer when we go someplace without wi-fi. This is apparently what Filipe was struggling with and would definitely explain his behavior over the years. Hopefully that's in the past and with his medication here's to wishing him good health and progress. We know the type of music Filipe makes and the fact that he's been this productive is a testament to his talent. With one of his latest Zamaneh Sanguine combines Chinese and Arabic to mean "Time to be Optimistic." And if you've struggled with depression or bipolar disorder then any bit of optimism you can find is cherished like water in the desert. Although that cover doesn't look very optimistic. Perhaps he's closing the door on his demons and not looking back. The trend with Filipe's music as of late has been to make compilations where most of the tracks have been released before. Before you characterize that as a cash grab, I offer you this. He has been making music for over a decade and perhaps some of the tracks didn't measure up to today's production standards. Possibly due to his condition, he would often create a label and release some music and then just as quickly it would disappear. So for those who didn't purchase or have access to the treasure trove I see this as a positive. Also some of them you can't even find. The older tracks have been re-rendered (clearing up some vocal samples) and remastered with him adding some things where he thought necessary. He chose some of his favorites to put on this album along with one track that to my knowledge only showed up on the digital Cosmic Disorder compilation from 2007. Yep, Clown In A Bag. The new tracks are exactly what you'd expect from Filipe. Brutish power and layers of melody packaged in a seamless bundle. Shodo is a blistering opener while Orphic Mysteries races with abandon. Really blissful. New Gankyil always brings a smile and this plows straight ahead with some snap and pop. Profane delivers more of the same with a playful lead. I'll be honest with you. I can't tell an Amithaba Buddha from a Lost Buddha; and I wouldn't know a the difference between a Pandemon ium! and a Chynacid. The music is super and perfect if you want to build your Filipe Santos collection. Great taste of a bunch of his projects. Good luck with further releases and also with your recovery.

Artist: Commercial Hippies Title: If You Can't Stand The Heat... Label: Nano Records Date: 2006 1. Loose Control 2. If You Can't Stand The Heat... 3. ...Get Out of the Chai Room 4. Dr. Freakenstein 5. No More Nights 6. 3 Star Hotel 7. Where Dreams Come From (Technological Rennaisance Edit) 8. Organic Machines 9. The Unconventionalist "It's funny...the world is so different in the daylight. But in the dark your fantasies get so out of hand. " No. No. No. Don't want any girl scout cookies. Where is your mother? Back when Nano records artists didn't make the same track over and over again, they were solid producers of elaborate full-on. Yes there really is such a thing. This is the debut from the Hippies and a decade on it still sounds fresh as a daisy. Back when there was a seemingly never ending tsunami of full-on releases this came along with loads of dynamism. It churns and burns with layers of sound as melodies dance across power rhythms. There's also plenty of effects to give it a lush sound and the sample work is effective without being intrusive. Reminds me of Protoculture and what do you know? His brother is one half of this duo. So based purely on genetics you would assume that he won't be drooling all over the equipment with his underwear on the outside of his pants. Now I cannot independently verify that that didn't happen, but this music is engaging and mostly devoid of what makes people sh*t on full-on. 10 years ago Nano had a great reputation and the other half of the duo is the brother of one of the guys that runs Nano. So to keep peace in the family they're going to bring their best to represent the label. And with quality albums like this you can see why. Can you imagine the dinner convo if one brother's weak effort brought down the other brother's label? Awkward. Very solid and highly recommended! Psyshop Beatspace

13 year old wedding cake, that's what this is. Perhaps at the time of the marriage it was tasty and sweet. Now? Sigh. Now it's just frost-bitten. Stale. As mentioned above it in no way resembles what he accomplished years ago. It's full-on, progressive and like rino said, fairly monotonous. I'm sure the majority of folk weren't expecting a goa album in 2003, but we probably weren't keeping our eyes peeled for a meh album either. If you can get past the gag reflex and choke it down some of his details are catchy and his work during the breaks is still pretty good. It's not terrible...it just...is. Nothing really different from a lot of music from 2003. "Ooh, you know what I'm in the mood for? 2003 Man With No Name." Said no one. Ever.

Artist: Mana Source (Filipe Santos) Title: Kanji EP Label: Submoon Records Date: March, 2015 1. Bonsai 2. Shinto 3. Ninja 4. Reiki 5. Kanji 6. Okami Dude is clearly a wizard. And a machine. A mechanized wizard with f*cking super goa powers. Whatever pseudonym he operates under (and he has many) he makes booming, twisting, goa trance that destroys dancefloors. His erratic behavior that has been well documented on these forums is the only negative which has kept him from assuming his rightful position as ruler of the goa kingdom. I don't think it's any secret that he has been suffering for a long time and perhaps that's the reason for his attitude and mood swings. Certainly his talent and ability have never been in question. This is more of what he does best. Layered melodic goa trance with an edge. Melodies twist and turn as it flows very well. Good driving music I can tell you. I realize this sounds like a Psyshop promo (minus the sketchy English), but he continues to impress. I believe if he punched me in the stomach the music is so good that I might say, "OK, you earned that one." Alas, Submoon is no more, but it has been reincarnated in the form of Good Dance Recordings. This is where you will find it digitally. I am unsure if there are any further physical copies. But whoever is behind that profile here at Psynews is becoming a presence and I'm sure will respond to your queries. Good Dance Recordings (digital)

Artist: Various (It's Filipe) Title: Oriental Accidentalists Label: Sumboon Records Date: August, 2015 1. Chynacid - Tianlong 2. The Lost Buddha - Astral Projection 3. The Lost Buddha - Spiritual Justice 4. Mana Source - Karmaggedon 5. Mana Source - Moon Minerium 6. Realm 9 - Mercury 7. Space Sinbad - Heart of Kali 8. Space Sinbad - Eyes of Osiris 9. The Lost Buddha - Ice of Ancients 10. Ketoret - Conceived 11. Gankyil - Nyorai DAMN!!!!! I'm more convinced than ever that you are less a human being and actually a bot that produces kick ass goa trance at pre-determined intervals. It's one thing to be prolific (that you are Filipe), but to maintain this level of quality is just unheard of. Track after track of just blistering goa trance. If I had to hunt for a negative it would be that your tracks follow the same pattern and can sound very similar. You don't tell stories you decimate dance floors. And make goa trancers like me fall down from excessive twirling. But when the music is this good, you just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going. The style is typical aggressive and growly goa trance and picking a favorite is like choosing which color M&M is better. They are all top notch stuff. Now for the consumer your should know that some of these beauties have been released before. Tianlong on the Tofu EP, Missionary on the Missionary and Conceived EP, and the Lost Buddha and Mana Source tracks also have digital EPs. Now as he is prone to do, Filipe opens a label and closes it sometimes pretty quickly. Only to start a whole new one. Submoon Records offered this as a CD-r, but as of this typing Submoon Records is no more. He's moved on to Good Dance Recordings, but I cannot find this or any of his earlier releases on that label. So I don't know where you would get this today. But this is how you do it. Let the music do all the talking. And this album is saying volumes.

This is a stare out the window with a cup of coffee during a rainstorm type of album. I've never seen anyone capture the feeling of a color, but Miktek's music shows you just what the color grey looks like. Slow and somber the lush tracks crawl underneath overcast skies. Perhaps it's a long trek across a November beach as the sea roils angrily. For me it was walking through downtown Philadelphia on a cold and windy morning with my head on a swivel. Mechanized dinosaurs raced and rumbled between massive steel and glass monoliths. Blank and sometimes angry stares from potential predators and prey; sizing each other up as melancholy melodies crawl with agonizing slowness. It's the rhythm of the city that I take in as I park myself on a bench in Logan's Circle. The music is cold and bleak as the thick, blanket of clouds block all the penetrating rays of sunshine. Piano protests echo hauntingly across scarred streets and I'm thinking I should've brought a heavier coat. This is a great soundtrack to those blustery November mornings when a long journey through your thoughts is what is needed. Superb.

"It was about...6:15 in the morning. I'm drunk and I'm high. And I'm in Chicago." Every f*cking Disney movie should begin this way. I know I'd watch to see what Mickey would do after an all night bender at the local brothel. 37 voicemails Mickey....and where's Minnie? Last thing you remember was playing a duet on the piano and then...? What are you gonna do now? Damn Disney I just wrote your new edgy graphic novel. Talk about expanding market share. You're welcome. Like the title says this is a sharp compilation. 3D Vision doesn't mess around, consistently delivering the night time acidic madness. Compiled by one of the baddest dudes in the psy scene Sharp goes for the throat right from the jump. Track after track of chip on the shoulder, hi-tech wizardry. And they dare you to knock it off. Acid deluges thick enough to lose your way while it activates your dancing muscles. Even CPU (whose talent for wrecking sh*t left him long ago) doesn't do too badly. By hey...it's no Eat It and for that we should all be thankful. Most of the tracks stay true to what 3D Vision does with only a few missteps. Highly recommended.
