    What's the verdict on the new Shpongle?

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    My initial reaction was WTF, but the music grew on me the more I went back.  I think the first track is too fast, so I actually used Audacity to create my own version with a slower tempo.  I also skip the second track (Magumba) because the singing sucks.  The rest of the album, I like, although it took awhile.  It's not what I expected from Shpongle, but I think it's ultimately a worthy addition to their catalog.

    Hypnoxock - Eurythmia [Goa Madness Records]

    Finally decided to check this out after all the enthusiasm here at PsyNews.  On the first pass, I thought it was good but not great.  In particular, I thought the first 2-3 tracks were kind of average.  I especially disliked the lame vocal sample in the first track.  However, I then tried an approach mentioned by T2MU in another review: I played the tracks in reverse order. After listening to the album this way, I had a much more positive reaction to the music, and a better appreciation of the talent and skill embodied in Eurythmia.  I still hate the first track, but now rate the overall album 4/5.

    in that case i can suggest you buy the cd then rip the files to flac or mp3 and sell the cd second hand

    will actually cost less since youll get back most of the price you paid initially

    That might work BUT there's shipping costs (and delays) on the buy side, no guarantee of an after-market on the sell side, AND why is this even necessary in 2017?  Seems like a real kludge when the correct solution is so obvious.

    antic604: "If I were to complain about anything, I'd say that some of those songs would have been better if they were shorter, more condensed and focused."

     

    I agree with this comment.  Some songs seemed to lose focus and momentum before they eventually concluded.  I also thought some tracks would have been better if the vocals were omitted.

     

    However, having said that, this was an ambitious album and I greatly enjoyed it even if I didn't agree with all the compositional choices.

    Not nearly as much as in the 90s. Also LSD is nearly extinct. I have been scouring for it for years and didnt find it so yeah.

     

    Tabs that you find on festivals and parties are all NBome or DOx or some other reserch chemical.

     

    I read an article some time ago which said that if you had sufficient chemistry knowledge to make LSD it was easier and more profitable to make other drugs instead.

    Psychowave - Dancefloor Metadata [Boom Rec.]

    in 2015

    This is Psychowave's first full length album. I thought it was pretty good overall, but some of the songs just seemed to run on and never really developed.

     

    The best tracks for me were Nav Gate Bahia, Dancem Macacos (minus the talking intro), Sunrise Prelude, and Elves On The Dancefloor.

     

    I think Psychowave's got talent, but his compositions need more structure.

     

    3 / 5
