  1. Infected Mushroom - Intelligate / Small Moves

     

    Artist: Infected Mushroom

    Title: Intelligate / Small Moves

    Label: Shiva Space Technology

    Date: 1999

    Review:

     

    I think everyone knows that these songs were on the SST-compilation "The

    Digital Dance Of Shiva"... But before that they were released on this EP...

    And Infected made different stuff like usual here... Intelligate is one of

    their best songs they've ever made, hard bassline, and many wicked and

    distorted melodies and some cool samples... More like this please!! Site B is

    not as good... I like some parts of it, but overall it's not as strong as

    Intelligate or many of the "The Gathering"-songs!! So 9,5/10 for the first

    song, Intelligate, and only 7,5/10 for Small Moves!! Bom Shankar

    Review:

     

    Really good Compilation!! The first CD immediately starts with a great track

    from Slide and a well known AP track that is less happy and sunny like their

    other tracks... Cosmosis gives us some heavy 303 overdose in their typical

    style, but I really love that song!! nr 4 and 5 are good, but nothing more...

    After that we have 2 killers (6&8), The visitors' track is really chaotic but

    they create order in their chaos and the result is a great track! KLM is well

    known these days but in 1998 this was new and awesome, and I must say I still

    LOVE this track...

    CD2 has also some great tracks, nr1 is nothing special, number two is good (but

    beware, on the CD stands that song 2 is "Lumen" with "Toffe In My Teeth" but

    it's definetely Cosmosis!) Number 3 and 4 are warming up for number 5!! What a

    stormer...! And after that it doesn't stop... The Pathfinder track is also

    very good and the last two songs of this CD are the best ones...!! The track

    of Chi-ad. is so hypnotic and beautiful, I'll love this one for the rest of my

    live...!! All together 8/10! Bom Shankar

    Review:

     

    The most of us know that Killing Joke is an rather old Electro group!! But as a

    tribute to them some famous Psychedelic Trance-producers remixed their songs...

    That gave some nice songs but also some fucking bad songs that sound like

    hard-rock!! Specially that Nine Inch Nails-remix!! What is that doing here???

    it sounds like Metal!! The best track is the UX-remix, it's really dark... :o))

    Also nice are Jana and Intellect... But the others songs are not my style...

    Sounds too rock-ish!! So everyone who hates guitars, DON'T buy it, but if you

    are an old rocker who just became Goa-lover... You should buy this!! 6/10! Bom

    Review:

     

    To be real honest I was a little bit disapointed by this EP, It's still very

    good,

    but they've already done better stuff... I think I simply was expecting too

    much...

    The original version of the first song is already well known I guess, and the

    remix

    is not as good as the original, but the end is different and very good...

    The second song is made with DJ Lestat (Talamasca) if I'm not wrong and it has

    some

    killer parts in it, but also some less good parts, but the end is like usual

    with

    COFD-songs awesome!! :o)) By the way, the second song is also on the new Hovek

    Olam

    ...I think both songs deserve 8/10! Bom Shankar

  5. Power Source - Goaway

     

    Artist: Power Source

    Title: Goaway

    Label: Matsuri

    Date: 1996

     

    Track listing:

     

    01. 09'01" Goaway

    02. 10'19" Gargamel

     

    Review:

     

    I simply review this EP because it's such an incredible classic... Goaway was

    probably one of the first Goa-songs I've ever heared and I still have the same

    great feeling when I listen to those songs... Goaway is one of the most

    touching songs EVER!! That melody makes you cry and laugh at the same time,

    and it still works after all those years... Gargamel is something different,

    more dancefloor-orientated! So a hard bassline with some more dark melodies,

    but the song has a wonderful building-up with some percussion work too and at

    the end a great climax... :o))) First song 10/10, second song 9/10...!! Bom

    Review:

     

    Very bad release from Krembo Records!!! It really sounds shitty... Bad beat,

    very cheesy and bad samples and no good melodies at all...

    Can't say more about it!! 1,5/10!! Bom Shankar

  7. Véry good album!!! There are 2 real dance-songs on it and the others songs are

    more downtempo Tribal Trance... :o)) The best song in my opinion is nr. 5!!

    Real fast rythm with many and fast 303 sounds..., but originally used... Other

    awesome songs are nr 1 (rather Ambient), nr 6 (the second Dance-song with a

    straaangge sample...) and nr. 9 (downtempo with a cool German text at the end

    of the song...)!!

    So if you like Tribal sounds this CD is a MUST!!! Bom Shankar

  8. I'm even listening to this EP at this moment and Mars is 100% RIGHT!!! It's a

    MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

     

    Both songs are rather slow (Hell's Kitchen 128 BPM and Trip Tonight 139 BPM)

    but still it fucking ROCKS!!

     

    Those melodies make you fly FAR away... :o)))

     

    Shit, you better read the review of Mars, he said it completely right!!! :o)))

     

    10/10!!! Bom Shankar

  9. I have the same opnion as Vystril!! The first 4 songs are good but nothing

    more, but the last song is absolutely great!!! It starts very chilly but after

    a while there are some soft drums but the tribal drums always become faster

    and harder and around the 25th minut it is really wonderful!! You can really

    see the ancient indians dancing around a big fire with painted faces... The

    last song made simply this album for me!!!

    8/10!!! Bom Shankar

  10. Dieznyik is completely right... I can't believe nobody mentioned

    Off Limits, cuz that track is the best on this CD in my opinion!!! :o)) On

    place number 2 are two tracks... The combination between Oforia and Tim

    Schuldt (Non Zero) and MOS. with Toxic Offender... Less minimalstic and more

    uplifiting than the stuff he's making nowadays!! Other nice songs are 2 And

    4!! still 1 remark at song 8 (BETH.) this is no Psytrance but 100% Electro!!

    But overall nice and hard CD!! Bom Shankar

    Review:

     

    Today this CD sounds BAD, but... This CD is maybe the first real psychedelic

    CD!! So this is where it all started, and that pretty interesting to know, and

    when you listen to it, you'll recognise some things, but it's all still very

    chaotic, sometimes boring or too much Nintendo-music!! :o((

    Maybe interesting to know is that the CD is originally from Psy-Harmonics...

    There are two listenable songs (5 And 7) the rest is NOT good at all!!

    2/10

    Bom Shankar

  12. Yep, I have this CD since yesterday and I have to agree, it's very nice!! It's

    the typical D5-style!! :o)))

    The only bad point is that all the songs sound almost the same... I won't say

    it's bad cuz I like his style, but still... It's maybe not véry good to listen

    to this CD at once!! Anyway, the véry best songs are 1,3,6,9

    Especially 6 is a killer but like I said, good Cd overall!! I'll give it 9/10!!

    (héhé from now on I'll give ratings too!!)

  13. Normally I don't like Minimalistic Trance, but this CD is something

    different... It has such great rhytms that even I like it!! :o))

     

    If melodic Trance-lovers wanne taste some Good Progressive Goa, then buy this

    one for sure!!!

     

    Best tracks are 2,3,4(!!!),6,8 Bom Shankar

  14. Maybe the best Tribal Goa-music ever made!! This is not for on hard parties,

    this is for listening while you're relaxed... Then the CD will take you on a

    journey... It'll take you to the Jungle of Borneo, it will take you to

    waterfalls and desserts far away from this world!!

    Magical piece of work!! Unfortunately Medicine Drum couldn't make such great

    music anymore after this one was released!! So when you see this, BUY BUY

    BUY!!! Bom Shankar

  15. It's much too Techno-ish!!! Yakkie!! If you like Hard Psychedelic Techno you'll

    like this, otherwise, don't spend your money here!! Bom Shankar

  16. Véry good CD from Luminus!! Much more mature and less cheesy then his first

    album!! There are 2 complete stormers on this album, number 4 (total

    conciousness) is really gigantic and nr 5 is another killer!!

    Other good songs are 2,6,7,8&9!! But Alex1029 has right, that sample in nr 9

    Must go out!! I really can't wait to hear more stuff of Amir Dvir...!!! Bom

    Shankar

  17. This music should be played when we see "Teletubbies" or "Pokemon" on

    television!! :o))) Really shitty production and absolutely NOT goa!!! Crappy

    Nitzhonot!!

    Bom Shankar

  18. Good compilation IF you like Progressive Minimalistic Trance!! if you don't

    like it (like I do) DON'T buy it!!

    I liked only 2 tracks here nr6 (specially the first minut is HELLISH) en nr 9,

    it's the only one with real melodies!!!Bom Shankar

  19. KILLER compilation!!!

    Every track is great (in my opinion) except the last one!

    Track 6 is even better then Great, it's one of the most hypnotising and

    uplifting tracks ever heared!!

    Really a must have!! By the way, the power source track is also good, specially

    the last part! And this is a message to Children of the Doc... MAKE AN ALBUM!!

    Cuz every track of you guys are KILLERS!! :o)))

    BUY It!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. I also think this is a rather bad CD, it sounds almost CLUBBY!! Not many

    psychedelic sounds, always the same boring bassline and no very good

    melodies!!!

    One exception... Go Wacko, that track is even good!!

    For people who like Psytrance with club-influences this CD will be good, NOT

    for me though!! Bom Shankar

  21. ???? Mascok?? Are you sure you were listening to this CD?? Cuz compared with

    this is Xenomorph And Sandman pure sunshine!!! This is dark And absolutely NOT

    cheesy!! Damned... I'm really shocked by reading your review!!

    Review:

     

    !!!WARNING!!! This is the most insane and most extreme "Psychedelic Trance"

    I've ever heard! But I LIKE IT véry much!

    This simply is my favourite kinda music when I'm in hard And dark mood!

    This music is hard to describe... Well, let's say it are all very deep and not

    very fast (Mostly 135-140 bpm) basslines with some hellish Metallic and

    Insutrial-sounding Psychedelic sounds on it!!

    My favourite songs are Döda Hundens Kyrka (means as much as "The church of the

    dead dog),Waspnest from Ka-Sol And Battlebong!!

    But believe me, it are ALL killers if you like the most freaky Scandosounds!!

    If you wanne order this CD... Go to

  23. Héhé, all hard and full on israeli Trance...!! Israeli Trance changed alot,

    just like the European Trance, but Isralien Trance became even better!! :o)

    The best songs are 2 (the only really melodic Trance-song on this CD, is REALLY

    véry hypnotic), song 4(!!) (that is SOOO good... The part with the guitars...

    Straight from hell!!) By the way, it is a sample and a guitar rif from

    Sepultura!! DARKSOHO, You rule!!!!!!!!!

    Song 6 is also Véry wicked!!!! héhé...

    Except of those 3 KILLERS ALL the other songs are very good or good!!

    Hovek Olam, keep making such music!!

    Bom Shankar

  24. Very nice Cd, some super-dreamy songs and some melodic songs who will touch

    your heart!! We all know the beauty of the classic "Spiritual healing" off

    course... But the other songs are also very intense...

    My favourite tracks are 1(!!!), 3,5,6,8

    I only think that the second song should have been the last song cuz it does

    not fit behind Spiritual healing!!

    Anyway, a MUST have!!

    Review:

     

    One of the first good Goa-cd's... altough it's already old it still sounds

    nice! It's mostly pretty dreamy and tribal Goa-Trance with Indian Chants and

    percussion, but there are also some dance-songs (in 95) on this CD, but they

    won't work enymore on parties now, the dance-songs became simply too slow!! My

    favourite songs are 1,3,4,6&7!! Song 4 is even one of the best

    downtempo-Trance songs I've ever heard!! So nice work from Elysium here!!

    Bom Shankar
