This is a good record... both remixes do something different with the original. Quality material from Hadshot.

Acid Theatre is one of the better minimal tunes to have come out in the big explosion of techtrance and such... quality stuff!

nearly a year ago i bought this album based on the initial review... now i
totally appreciate it. double dragon, along with koxbox, simon posford, and
sean williams [process] have a certain knack with synths and can really blend
nuance and subtlety into these devilishly deceptive psychedelic masterpieces.
this is right up there with some of the trippiest stuff ever made. sometimes
one can question the execution but the style is so mint that you cannot deny
its fierce attractive qualities. on many of the tracks the kick is less
pronounced, hidden under bubbling, snarling, or wailing synths... that
definatly gives this release a soft yet mind-bending quality that begs for
further listens. if you aren't liking this now listen again and maybe it'll
grow on you. it certainly grew on me. 10/10, one of the top 5 from 2000!
^^ my original review. I have another one that I wrote years later, but the mark stays the same (surprisingly)... Continuum is a real masterpiece.

Crystaldelic is what you want this one for...

Jaia and Saiko-Pod rock out with the emerging style of progressive psytrance... this early effort was widely panned by critics and listeners alike, especially for the rather tasteless cover, but it did prove to be a sign of things going forward.

V/A - ZMART
in 2001
Typical minimal/tech release... I ended up liking The Wall a bit but that's it.

As for the album, not bad... it certainly has some high points. The title track, Future Funk, Solid, Pot Alert... actually, most of this has something going for it.

Weird stuff! It does not sound like anything else. Global and Aus Walk are probably the most noteworthy songs here.

One of the classics of Goa trance, without a doubt.

One of my all-time favourites! There isn't really anything else like it... quality music!

FYI blue point and area 51 are left off the vinyl version...

The original Flying Rhino masterpiece... it's still a solid piece of Goa trance. Essential listening.

Review:
There's something here for Lumen fans but it feels maybe 3 or 4 years out of date and much of the new material isn't as interesting as what was already released.
