  1. It's pretty good or at least okayish if you like MFG/AP -sound, but the covers are absolutely hideous, if it was for them I would never have bought such cheesy looking crap. I think it should be widely available, have you checked psyshop and saikosounds?

    Review:

     

    Ok, this still is one of the best compilations I own. It was released only

    in Finland, and it hasn't been for sale for years. The reason I'm reviewing

    this is that everyone should go and get these timeless classics by any means

    necessary (yes, even MP3s are allowed). First track by Phreaky is probably

    the best of the best. I mean woah, it's so good and intense it'll blow your

    socks off, guaranteed! Truly full-on, truly melodic. Track 2 starts less

    hectic and developes into a beautifull morning-tune, superb. Next track by

    Martin Freeland is quite possible the best he ever made, uncompromised goa

    without a hint of club-cheese. Not too fast, soft and melodic. At this point

    you probably think I'm starting to go out of pro-verbs. Well, yes I am, but

    it doesn't matter really, as no words can do justice toTotal Eclipse's

    "can't do that"! Pure acid killer that'll mess your mind badly if you are

    not careful! I think "Bony incus" is the best known out of these tracks as

    it's appeared on several compilations, but it's great nevertheless. The

    following two tracks by Simon Carman and John Ford (+ Mark Allen in

    Mindfield) are catchy and a bit silly, but especially "Touch the sun" sounds

    very unique with an oriental theme, really nice. "Let's get stoned and watch

    the freaks" is somewhat weaker a track but the sample is arguably

    unforgettable. The only bad track on this album is "The day before point" by

    Finnish artist Alier, the levels are phukked up and only thing you can hear

    are the hi-hats. I can't imagine why this track got released at all, let

    alone on this otherwise great compilation. Oh well, on with the good ones,

    then. "San yacid" shouldn't need to much of an intrduction, let's just say

    it's an essential track to own, melodic tune in perfect Cosmosis fashion.

    "Nysos" by Joking Sphinx rounds up the album quite nicely with it's mellow

    rhytms and melodies, although it's pretty clearly audible that it was made

    ages ago. But at least it has aged with style. All in all, all the tracks

    except "The day before point" are a significant piece of goa trance history,

    and this compilation is a masterpiece among Finnish releases (BTW, where are

    they nowadays? And I'm not talking about overly-weird Exogenic stuff.). Make

    no mistake, this one gets a definite 10/10

  3. Ok there is this awesome track I'm looking for previously discussed about in this thread: http://onewayltd.dyndns.org/psyforums/read...f=9&i=197&t=197

     

    I've come to notice that it sounds very much like Dark Soho - Depth of emotion from 3:50 onwards, but especially the eerie sound, the flute(no but I don't know what that high noise that goes on should be called) is different and that's the instrument that makes the classic ghost house melody in the track I'm trying to find. Are there any tracks that sound similar to Depth of emotion, or is there maybe a remix of that somewhere?

  4. Exactly my thoughts too, especially since those nice Italians have undoubtedly made some serious cash with their records under the names Pleiadians and Etnica, it shouldn't be too much of a decision for the record company to make, to release or not to release the Crop Circles -album too.

  5. I've given this album quite a many listen-throughs as I feel that I should love

    it. Can't help it: I don't.

     

    It starts of with somewhat lame Logic Bomb -track. Level of psychedelia is

    quite high on this one, but I feel it has no flow or direction to it, and ends

    up being just boring. Compared to, say, their album or more recently the track

    "Glitter" on Dimitri's dat bag, this is sub-par.

     

    Then comes a tune by ninja traxx, fast and hard-kicking but that's about it.

    This is the only track I've heard from them, so can't really compare to

    anything.

     

    Track 3 is Labyrinth's Imprint. I absolutely hate this poor tune, it sounds so

    basic and uninspiring that it makes me sick. Yuck yuck, definitely 'not my

    cuppa'.

     

    Ok, from this point, the album gets a lot better (for a short while anyway).

    Parasense's Microwave has lots and lots of groove to it, pumping night-time

    stuff with just enough twists and turns to keep your mind occupied. Excellent.

     

    And the it's time for the absolute gem of this compilation. It seems that

    Neuromotor is unable to make a bad track, and this one makes no exception. It

    starts of great and ends up even better. I'm not particularly keen on the

    samples at around 8 minutes but they don't ruin anything. One fantastic

    stomper, ALMOST worth buying the whole album.

     

    Back to misery, then. Xenomorph -track is veeery bad, basic 'thirteen in a

    dozen' -kind of tune. Nothing more to say.

     

    Track 7 by Fungus Funk is one of the better ones but still nothing to gaga

    over, nice beat and weird sounds. Listenable.

     

    Number 8 and what can I say. Nice(y) but not excellent nor even very good. I

    guess you shouldn't listen through the whole album at once, as it is likely

    start sound very repetitive.

     

    BUT: Aerodance's track is an odd and wonderful ending! I'm sure certain people

    will find it cheesy and silly, and in a way it is, but I can't help loving it

    to bits! Just the kind of stuff to put a WIDE smile on your face! It's made

    stranger still by the fact that a part of the melody is exactly the same as in

    Finnish song 'Kuusamo'. Somehow this doesn't sound traditional at all, it's

    more of a groovy experimentation, or at least I see it that way. G O O D !

     

    So, I give this album 6/10, but sometimes it's 7/10, depends a bit on your

    mood. A couple of great tunes and a bunch of dullies. 'nuff said.
