Gutty

i think no. 5 is cool as hell. his level of production is top notch tho i haven't heard a bad tune from him yet

Yeah stop trying to justify this guy's crappy music. Sounds like skazi for fucks sakes.

Haven't heard the tunes yet, but I find the title "Electro atmospheric glides amidst emotional gardens" INCREDIBLY lame.

judging from the samples alone i'd say it could be enjoyable.. sounds very well done, good production, cool basslines... and good atmospheres. this would be cool to listen driving home from a festival on an acid comedown. might be a bit too weird at a party for most people's tastes tho...

this forum is for reviews not tracklists

worst "psy" ever. I don't know what makes isrealis think they can sing english. The lyrics are fucking horrible and the accent is not exactly... pleasant. Duvdev proved just how bad it could be, but this CD is like everything that went wrong with infected + fullon in the past few years, in one package, minus any redeeming qualities. psyreviews recommends stealing this album, but it's not even worth the effort.

Tickets is Phyx's younger brother. They have a project together called Brethern. He used to sell tickets at timecode parties, I think that's where his name comes from.

And he's definately not pretentious. He's a fucking cool guy, very humble and he plays a big part in the local scene. He's played at some of my friends parties for free, just to help them promote it. If you don't like the CD, great, but there's no reason to make assumtions about his character or intentions, because chances are you don't have a clue. I like the idea of symbols for names, it's better than the majority of cheesy and/or lame track names. I swear there must be a million tracks called Hyper Blastoff or Turbokinetic Frequency horshit.

I was gonna write a long ass review but then I read yours DP. That's pretty much exactly how I feel. I've seen Artifakt live more times than I can remember, cuz he's so involved in the scene in SA, but everytime he plays he tears trancefloors apart. He's something special, to say the very least. I think this album is maybe a bit less experimental than his first, but I like it more. His style is much more refined and you can hear that he worked long and hard on this. There's some awesome ideas and concepts that he pulls off through his tunes and he always adds a unique twist. For me this is an instant classic. ..

Is there a high resolution version of their first compilation's album cover somewhere? it looks quite wicked

Dude your song is shit Whatever label has interest in you must be high on crack

Hi This is a song I made in december... It's not very good quality, but i think it's the best psy i've made thus far and i'm keen to get opinions on it. i didn't take it too seriously and it's still not really finished but it's getting there. http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=731102&T=4650 if the link doesnt work or if it asks for a login just let me know cheers

regarding labels i think sundance is the best for this type of tunes.

Hey man I like your melodies in kenosis. i like the part starting at 1:54 most. good layers, very psychedelic. the vocal sample in the beginning is the only part that i dont like. it sounds too much like hard house or club music, but i like the wacky melody that follows it. i also like the bassline, i think it suits the song fine. a complex KBBB bassline wouldn't work too well at this speed anyway. overall i think its original stuff.. what program /synths did u use?

Wow i cant believe people are still talking about the basslines. It's probably the least important part of this release.. shows u how many people actually "get" this kinda music. to all the full on bunnies that say these basslines are boring, try finding anything that sounds like Fnatt or Poisnonous Square. and please don't listen to this album in your $2 car stereo and complain that it sounds shit. you need a lot of power to process most of the frequencies. poisonous square for example sounds like shit on small systems. it sounds fucking ridiculous on mine though. this is one of the most complex and well made psy albums i've ever heard and it really sucks that people have bullshit complaints about the basslines.

Well 'when you listen to it on monitors the basslines sound awesome. Poisonous Square has one of the most gut wrenching basslines ive heard in a long time. listen to the way the notes change.. its quite trippy. but even the droning monotonous basslines i like because its moody and dark and i can appreciate the effort that they put into their sound.

Oh yeah and to the guy who said the basslines sound like dry fuzz... Open your ears.

Finally got this CD.. As a melody lover I'm not that much into dark noisy psy, but I have to say this is a belter... They obviously know their shit, the production is really good, the songs are all different and unique but it flows very well... Listening to this on psychedelics would be one hell of a trip, music designed to melt your brain.. great stuff

I saw shift last weekend and he definately does not make candy rave tunes. I don't like excessions either, but his live act is killer. His style is more hard than dark, but it's definately night music and he always rips the place apart. Artifakt is also doing some crazy dark-ish tunes.. check out Nosferatu on Timecode - The Turning and any of his recent shit. He's doing a lot over here in SA and I think he's got a únique style.. Derango are making a different style of music. It's DARK and crazy, maybe a bit too dark and crazy for most parties... but definately wicked

Hi Ive been making tunes for about a year, starting with FruityLoops and now using Cubase/Ableton LIVE and Reason. I still don't have a distinct style, but I like making dark tunes most. Crypsis is one of my newer although sloppier tunes, but I like it because it has alot of creepy sounds.. It's only a short sample, that version of the song was only a couple hours old when I posted it, but the first minute and a half is quite complete... sortof.. http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?songs=398784&T=8444 All feedback is appreciated

thanx

Cool review... is there any place to get samples for this?

The samples sound interesting, especially the first one, but Mozart Firefox sounds fucking incoherent. I know dark is synonomous with incoherence and chaos, but this is brutal. I hope the full song is more interesting. The sample is a drone with a couple of high pitched noises. not my idea of psychedelic.

I'll be the first to fart in your general direction

RIGHT ON DUDE
