I hesitated before buying this album, because the name Double Dragon was not
familiar to me at all, but when I finally bought it I could not believe my
ears. This is one of the most astonishing releases I've ever heard, and the
track number 8 blew me away completely - I've heard it before in a DJ set, and
at that time I realised that it's the best psy-trance track I've ever heard (I
didn't know it's Double Dragon then). Steve Good is a true magician, his
production skills can easily match those of Simon Posford - perfectly worked
out percussion lines, very complex patterns, with NO randomness at all! Every
sound is EXACTLY where it should be, it's a rare talent (yeah, HuxFlux and GMS
sound much more random to me). Lots of weird processed FX, twisted grooves,
all in 3d, NO sign of cheese, it just keeps growing! Not repetitive at all,
but at the same time NOT overloaded! (in my opinion ) Before I heard this
album, I considered Infected's percussion very interesting and worked out, now
it sounds childish to me (I'm biased, listening to Double Dragon right now, so
don't believe me . Yeah, this release it reminds me of Joujouka, but
definitely more trancey and less techno-ish (just the beginning of track 8
makes me fly away!). Overall, it's currently the best full-on psy-trance album
I've ever heard.
