hihih... the good ol' days

Compilation: ManiaXtyle Label: Maniac I.Q. Year: 2005 Format: CD Web: http://www.maniaciq.net/ Country: Japan Label info: Maniac IQ, is a party organization based in Nagoya, Japan concentrating on primarily on progressive tech-trance. Having as background an original party concept, this compilation is the result of such effort. Songs 01. Motion - Imagination (Origin Mix) 02. Planet B.E.N - Code 05 03. Midimiliz - 10.000 Watts (Power Cut) 04. Axiomata - Just Another 05. Tetraktys - Float 06. Holeg with Mj12 - Artificial Paradise 07. Clutch - Outside Earth 08. Ryan Halifax - Aero DinaMIQ 01. Motion - Imagination (132 BPM's) "Imagination is more important than knowledge, knowledge is limited, while imagination embraces the entire world..." what glorious piece of sunshine, drilled with organic drumming accompanied by a semi-chorus sounding pad (?) building constantly on angelical notes. The pace is undeniably progressive & melodic. 02. Planet B.E.N - Code 05 (134 BPM's) 'Code 05' is infused with the minimalist groove his earlier work Test (2003) showed throughout. Underneath, the massive fat pulses cushion the ear while the subwoofer spills good vibes. There is not much to it except good beats Ben has showed in the past. A bit more action you say? Well I guess it's subjective. 03. Midimiliz - 10.000 Watts (Power Cut) (136 BPM's) The original version of the song was released with Nonstandards and I can hear slight changes in the production, but nothing radical. Maybe that's why it is a ‘power cut' and not a remix, but who cares right? Noticeable differences: a submarine-beep sound we hear in any good marine movie, and the alien speak-effects by the end remind me of how our otherworldly friends spoke in the Hollywood production of ‘Signs'. You might not remember at this time, but you will once you hear this one. 04. Axiomata - Just Another (138 BPM's) “A” for effort on the space-age synth effects and creaky screams drowned on some strange VST's. To be honest the screams here and there get a slight bizarre for my taste, but it does not get overplayed. On the lower ranges the beat is intelligent and moving. I guess this what they mean by ‘Maniaxtyle'. 05. Tetraktys - Float (140 BPM's) ‘Float' is an uplifting energetic dance-floor filler with a gentle touch to ear. The drums echo much like Atmos, the bass line rumbles and the feel is obviously housy-prog. On the higher ranges, melodies ‘float' with the string samples in some sort of wah-wah effect dancing around each other as “duh-bah…[something]” girl samples peak the production. This is a summer smasher with elegant tunes and well coordinated arrangements. I like it! 06. Holeg with Mj12 - Artificial Paradise (140 BPM's) Holeg combines his experience as DJ of psy-techno to metal through electro-industrial bringing forth very interesting proposal to this manic compilation along with Mj12. Cacophonous mechanical beats with industrial-tech tones and very involving voice samples, drifting in the periphery of heavily distorted synth lines. It is very artificial, very groovy and easily confusable with a Cold Groove release. 07. Clutch - Outside Earth (133 BPM's) I had a roommate who would interchange the word clutch for cool… I.E: that Ferrari is clutch. I'm not sure ‘Outside Earth' is very clutch for my taste. Maybe it is because it seems slightly out of place after the previous song. The energy just drops from a steady progression as the BMP count indicates. The song in is not bad though, catchy tech groove representing local Japanese talent. 08. Ryan Halifax - Aero DinamIQ (138 BPM's) Mr. Halifax closes the compilation again with a sample of his typical progressive sound, loaded bass lines and cymbals on the percussion adorning the dynamIQ aspects of his production. If you have heard his stuff before, then you know what sound I am talking about. Overall a good compilation without much Psy but good beats nonetheless. Favourites: 1, 4, 5, 6 Get it now: - Saiko Samples - Psyshop

i concur Halifax does know his bass... check out "Pimp my Bass" in a vinyl collaboration with Dawg, EP is called 'La Puta Bonita' thats rather on the slow side though. even though is nothing ground breaking i loved the bass lines EVP and Error Corrective are pulling out (V/A - Wild Rumpus)... not much else jumps out at me at this point

ditto, but then again thats the only one i have still, it does... well... did the trick for me

trolsk, ill ask, i had similar question in mind im not to sure about the Skazi / Yahel / Hypersonic affair, but we'll see what happens, i will shout when something has been procured

V.A - hunters (red cell rec's) and im waiting on Scozbor... can't wait!

i'm going to be questioning filter from megalopsy and the derango duo as well... anybody have questions? just post them here... intelligent dialogue please

Sonic-energy.net is happy to announce a new interviews section! Inaugurating our little space on the internet with a fresh Igneous interview… (without the Sauria bit this time) We have a number of great artists being questioned this month, so bookmark that page http://www.sonic-energy.net/core/inter.html

this looks like my cup of tea

popstream & Alt control - Electrical Tones (V/A - Evolve) p.s: i 0wned 29 too

Magnterixx, Beat Bizarre, Sensient, pixel's production is pretty good now and again, Shaman, Zebra-N, hmmm...electrypnose.. im out for the moment... i'm sure people can offer better classics though - edit - Double Dragon, cosma!

man, i was not trying to nullify your opinion... all i was saying is us talking about it here ain't changing the world much, no matter how much we sit here and try to nit pick each other's point of views.... besides that hey let's flame on

oh come on people, the psy scene is growing wider and branching to all different realms. We might not like where some of those branches are going in the 'scene' but it is merely a reflection of this sub-culture being assimilated by the general culture. We would all rather it'd stay underground, but sadly it is going the opposite way. maybe it is because i am agnostic and have hard time buying into god as in the devil. But i think there are skew pseudo-christian beleifs here at play. Some will praise it, some will denounce it, thats the way it's moving and there is not much we can do about it. You don't like dark psy don't buy, don't hear it... but us bashing each-other here, sure as hell ain't solving nothing... now let's all drink blood and forget about this.

"Psynews the Inquisition... stay tuned for more, after these messages."

V/A - Battle Royal [Zillion Mental Anarchie] (2004) One of the best 'full-on-ish' compilations to grace my ears for a long time ...

AWWw... EP got scared.... i'm kidding BTW... don't try to analayze things so hard, go read the first paragraph of my review, maybe you agre

devil worshipping? i don't think is serius, it could be a 'trend' eitherway... but besides a few bands i haven't seen any producers biting the heads of bats or sacrificing babies in cults... i will keep an eye out for this kind of behaviour though
