    yes the inlay states Dada Stream Publishing 2004, but psy harmonics didn't start selling it until early last year. In the review for SE, the pic of the cover is actually taken by me cause at that point saiko didn't one to show.... What does your copy say?

  9. Artist: Naked Tourist Album: Mad Different Methods Label: Parvati Records Web: http://www.parvati-records.com/ CAT: prvcd11 Sonic-Energy: http://www.sonic-energy.net/core/content/view/165/2/ Tracks: 01. Mad Different Methods [146 BPM's] 02. Prehysterical Moments [145] 03. Chopper [147] 04. Noname [146] 05. Hirnfräse [147] 06. Asylunatic [147] 07. Backup Paranoia [146] 08. Fair Child [147] What's This about? After much anticipation and a number of great teaser’s in varied compilations, the two Berlin freaks have released a full-length album to sink your teeth into a palpable concept of the Naked Tourists. Working together since 1999 Z-neo brings his production into play with a background in break-beat and psy trance. Mixing in the pot DJ Iguana (co-founder of Noise Poison Records with Highko) translates the work based on his experience of dance-floor madness, with a compelling and certainly explosive proposal. The output is a consistent collection of tracks pitching and building on fast paced rhythms, spilling innovative psychedelia by every pore in their hasty ride. Per-song Break down 1. Mad Different Methods * The album opens branding the goods much like In Megalopy’s debut last year. I’m not entirely fond of this, but I can appreciate the potential for live gigs. It beats those green lasers spelling your name, if you ask me. We take off with bouncy squeakers and metallic samples looping in the background. It eventually builds to a detuned line resonating like a harp from hell, filling out the theme nicely. 2. Double REL – Prehysterical Moments This remix had been in the works well since last year, when Double REL announced in our interview the tourist’s had picked a tune to deconstruct. I’m not very familiarized with this track in particular but it can notice the absence of the Double REL bass lines, and lot more play and squeak on the upper ranges. I like it. From what I can tell the track structure on the bare bones is the same, but is clear there are a number of new goodies on top. And what the hell did they do to that crunched synth retreating and palpitating is beyond me, but helps closing the chapter with originality. 3. Chopper * Like the name indicates this is about a helicopter. We take off with a really sweet toothed kid sample by the beginning, which is turning real trendy (take mental note). The sounds of the rotor engine gyrating translate firstly as a panning game in low gear much like a bass. As we gain altitude the line propels us right to the apex with a never ending pick up. It’s nice to see they really infused the sounds, making them an integral part of the work and not an expendable tail rotor. One of my personal favorites. 4. No Name * This the enchanting story of a robot (with no name) that was on his way to… god knows where. Point being, he was on the path and suddenly every single nut and bolt of his metallic being started convulsing in strange ways, clearly not fitting of his design. Suffering from the Akira syndrome (Anime otaku reference), his extremities grew disproportionately at gigantic measures, as the metal planks that surrounded his skeleton clanked and scrapped against the floor, many times simply snapping from it’s socket in loud and hypnotizing ruckus. The horrendous sound of his hollow body inflating could be heard for miles. The growth reached a critical point before the poor bastard imploded in a loud squelching fart, taking with him all the air of his bulging self. The incident has been denominated as the worse case of robotic indigestion in recorded history. 5. Limbogott - Hirnfräse (Naked Tourist Remix) * I have no idea whom Lobogott might be but this track makes me wish I would have run into that name earlier. On to the story, we can hear growling and vicious samples with Pantera-like screams and a sweet break that reminds a lot of prodigy. Over all a quasi Sepultura kind of mix with savage psy build making it make it work together. Top notch… wow. 6. Asylunatinc * “Cranky lunatics… on drugs” describes the feel of this remix very aptly, originally showcased on Psychedelically Yours 3 last year. I never got around that one, so I’m not sure how the originally story went, but this is very dynamic –once again- fast paced throwing a decent builder. The whole thing should standout in a live situation, but when you listen to the whole thing sequentially, it seems the album is deluged of them pitchy builders that don’t really stray too far from each other. So for the good or the bad it’s best to adjust yourself to them. 7. Backup Paranoia A long winded intro with spacey tunes and samples, loads into full gear after roughly a minute. The outer space elements and the voices remain while the kicks run this show. The paranoia inducing elements count primarily as the scratchy lead, progressing right into a full threaded catchy line jumping all over, inviting the listener to stomp around or else. The melodies and the energy invoke South African elements, which becomes more apparent in this chapter more than ever. 8. Fair Child & Secret track * “All we have is each other… without that we have nothing” The lines keep rumbling with a delightful number of drumming action accompanying those kicks in a classic N style that has become ever so evident in this release. Moving as fuck and intentionally riff-ridden to close the collection of mad different methods, that albeit could have offered a bit more diversity… that is until you fast forward to minute eleven. Inside we are treated to material not fitting in the official content of this album, primarily because it’s a lot more playful, the grind core influences and electronic textures feel strangely retro 80’s funk, seeding a whole new style that could well be developing in their latter works. Don’t let it stagnate. * Favourites All and All Notwithstanding the commitment of Mad Different Methods to dance floor ruthlessness; the classy touches in previous works like the remix of “Three Lines in a Row” (Hocus Peakus) and the hidden gem in this album… make it undeniable there is a fun aspect to their production building up to funky. It’s brooding underneath in their essence. Seeing this side develop in the future is something I will be monitoring closely. Presently the album delivers what was promised, a pack of thrillers to shake a leg on the dance floor, the bush, in your bedroom and possibly the shower. Not forgetting the intense brainwave workout that characterizes Parvati’s work. If you actually spin, it’s certain the material will be shaping your sets in the months to follow. In a few words I think its fuckentastic, nicely done Mr. Iguana-mon and Dr. Z.

    Scozbor - Mountain Lord

    i did do a per song break down, but it was perty fukin sick experience... remains to be one of favourite albums of 2005. Per-Song Breakdown 'Psygh' starts the journey with cozy melodies and nostalgic synth lines on top of break beats. 'Levelheaded' lifts off smoothly into higher planes with riveting melodies, a fair share of distortion and insane knob-turning. The diversity and flow of simple arpeggios, with mutating beats is positively original. The third ‘Normal Drug Taking' is obviously a sick joke. The production feels slightly minimal though… and at times I can't help but wonder how a few extra drops here and there might have added something. This is not trying to take anything away from the song itself. The use of samplers and the voice effects is jaw-dropping. A little too slinky for my taste, but is a good piece in the whole equation. Fourth one comes around and a ‘Hard Pooning' is taking place. Incredibly transing build ups progressing as he toys with your emotions, it's a mini-ride. Incredibly intense, distorted, harmonic… I love it! “Auto-Bogan” is downright dirty. The living proof insane music can coexist in with a harmonious intent. Mountain Lord follows in its journey peaking in “Vanilla Hymn” as the doors of the cuckoo's nest break open. At this point it has never been clearer some kind of intoxicant might come in handy. Not because he is forcing us, but simply because it just makes more sense. The pace starts decreasing with ‘Positronic' returning to beautiful melodies with an IDM seasoning and a great interaction of drumming breaks. Madness in the middle and a colorful return to base by the end with string samples of the original theme. ‘Avanc' brings hi paced conga-like drumming and quirky pads that don't really convince me. It's a bit too happy-hardcore-kind of pace for my ear. Let it not be said he is not creative though. The trip closes with “Rainbow Daze” an introduction of dubby bass lines with melodies you have to hear… borderline ambient stuck in between crazy syncopated beats and recurrent synth lines. The Pads soar in heaven and drop down with such flow, I really don't have it in me describe the interaction of such complex music.
  16. haha, i was hearing the other day, mmight showing up in a mix soon = I'm listening to Letters To Cleo - Laudanum i'm in a strange mood.
  17. i had forgotten how freakin cold can it get in some parts of the world i used sony's MDR-V300's for quite some time and the sound (looking back at it now) is nothing great, but they have a good price and thick cable extending for like a two feet. the cans also cover your ears wich is personally a plus for cold weather ... Notice however the MD25's bring a steel cable and not copper so i'm guessing that could endure the weather as well... and if they brake you can always replace a piece... depends on the budget.
  18. somethign tells me you didn't hear the whole thing, and most probably not even the whole track... it's industrial to the core, ridden with riff's and spooky atmospheres, splashed with psy. not an easy proposal to diggest, but that he's wannabe-dark and low quality producer opens a lot of doors for disagreement

    i didn't like it, from the four minute samples i tasted( http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=5429 ) shoot me if i'm wrong. it's definatelly different and loaded with new ideas... but it sounds retro... that is almost retro and primary for my taste. I would much rather dwelve in scozbor that to my ears sounds a more psychedelic. Just my opinion...
  24. The psychedelic trance market moves roughly along the same speed as the personal computers maket. Which is too say, damn fast. Taking into acount the number of releases, monthly a lot of music is easily diggested and and thrown away, if there isn't something to stick in it your memory for a while. This is what is reffered to as a classic, you might be hearing it three months after you have purchased a CD... in some cases classics are more often than not goa. An 'ancient' sub-genre credited for starting the psychedelic trance wave, only crazy colectors listen listen to these days more often than not for their emotional value. Some of these are true gems... some aren't...
