  3. V/A - The Secret Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls Artist: Various Title: The Secret Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls Label: TIP World Date: 2003 Track listing: 01. Eat Static : The First Revelation 02. Cyberbabas : The Second Revelation 03. Alien Project : The Third Revelation 04. Astrix : The Fourth Revelation 05. Talamasca : The Fifth Revelation 06. 1200 Mics : The Sixth Revelation 07. Shpongle : The Seven Revelation Review: Since the process of writing those ”details over everything reviews is pretty boring task and I as a reviewer don't really feel like I'm truly expressing myself while writing them, nor do I feel like I manage utterly to capture the inner core of the album's spirit I felt like it was a time for a new, different kind of approach. This time I will not fail =) Track 1. And so it beginns. It being somekind of distant, but approaching heavenly wave. Simple, soft, yet interesting kick intervines the intro. A little later some other bits of data are thrown in. Track keeps on being undancable, which is just fine for me, since I find this the true essence of music. It's clearly made to sound good, not just to work good on the dancefloor. Suddenly a familiar sample from The Mystery Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls is presented, followed by an another a few seconds later. Then it's time to dance. Kick becomes strong, finger picked guitar is doing the rest. A flute? A little later the bassline backs everything up. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. STOP! Just for a little while, cause this is the part. The Part? Yes! It's the part! Still following me? Guess not, well you might, once you listen to it. Then that hey this is actually psychedelic thingy hits me. Well, the track sure is 100% joy. It's hidden complexity is just beautiful and only highly concentrated mind will find it. Being high just might also do the trick, though it's not necessary. Track 2. It's the 80's. That's what the beginning makes me feel like. True 80's synth pop beginning. Then something, that tries to, yet in my opinion fails to, recreate the psychedelic athmosphere is mixed in. Will the psychedelic athmosphere be gone for good? Doubt it. At 2 minute mark it feels like that monster bpm + bassline combination is about to hit us. Suprisingly, it's not as monstrous as expected. Still a few minutes later it feels like something huge is about to come. Then, somewhere in between of time and space I realize what it's all about. Once again, it's not made for dance floors, but it's the incarnation of psychedelia, that many though was lost for ever. Beautiful flute ends the track. Track 3. Everything goes nicely, until a certain sample can be heard. A sample that has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of this compilation. I just wonder why the hell there's a sample about LSD in this track? Do LSD and Crystal Skulls have something incommon? I don't think so! Well this track fits this compilation like a cock fits a male's ass, it's just simply wrong! Big mistake by Tip. World to include this track! Track 4. After the huge dissapointment of track 3 I was expecting this one to be even worse. Why? Cause I'm just prejudice on Astrix's material and felt so strong on track 3. So anyways, this morning I was waiting for my bus at the bus stop around 7 o'clock in the morning. It must have been about 22 degrees celsius, and I wasn't even noticing the coldness. So this track was playing, and I assumed there was no way in hell that somebody would see me, I mean jesus christ, 7 o'clock on saturday morning. So I was sort of like dancing. Actually more like 60% dancing and 40% standing, more than likely looking really cool. Shakeing a little, moving my hands, cigarette on my right hand, feeling so good, music playing really, really loud. So then I turn my head. There's this maybe 50 yo dude behind me. He said something like you sure seem to enjoy your music, and I'm like yep, and blushing. So then this bizarre thing happens, there's a sample now that's not supposed to happen. Smiled because of this the whole day. This track is awesome. It's pretty much made in the same style than 1st Revelation in The Mystery of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls. The ending is really fast though, atfirst I found it cheesy because of the fast bmp, but then realised, that it just has to be like that. Track 5. Listen to the beginning carefully. Sounds familiar? Yes, indeed! Activate self destruct. And so, the stomping beginns. Very Talamasca feeling, but no wait, something is different. During this track I discovered that trance isn't dead after all. I don't know, this track just somehow has that 5-years-back-goa-feeling-thingy. Superb! Track 6. Well here we go again. A perfect track! That voice, it's so twisted I don't even know if it's a man or a woman. And that bassline! And that synth! And that atmosphere! Even the kick is nice! Nicey Nice, don't know what to say.. Track 7. This is the thing I've been waiting for a long long time, a new track by Shpongle. A new track by the "Skygods", which almost all the samples in this album keep on referring to =). So, it's all there, perfect bassline (I really mean perfect). Perfect percussions, perfect absofuckinglutely tight guitar solo (!!), perfect flute, perfect synths, perfect everything! So they did it again? A new door to perfection? Nope! Why-o-why did they have to make this one a stomper too? Just like in the last Skulls compilation, the beginning is perfection, then suddenly everything goes down. Well this time the ending isn't that monotone, but more like a great classic Hallucinogen track, it's actually fucking fabulous, but I want my Shpongle chilled, not stomped! So what's my final verdict? Well, it's still too early to judge this album, few spins just aren't enough. Since my expectations to this album were so, so high, I have to, no, I must dig deeper.... so my final verdict will follow later..

    V/A - Module 1

    I really like this one. IMHO Entheogenic presents their best track this far.. great solid compilation that stays fresh for ages! Worth buying.. I give it 8/10
  11. Jess M - Digidelica Artist: Jess M Title: Digidelica Label: Shiva Space Technology Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. Uruq Al Shaiba 02. Hednisphere 03. Whipstick 04. Coitus 05. Drumming Air 06. Lemon Petals 07. Cloud Stalker 08. Tarn 09. Wild Islands 10. Heavy Grain 11. Cherrytwister Review: A lot of digeridoo stuff going on here.. actually every track has digeridoo.. some tracks have pretty much nothing else but the digeridoo.. well some tracks also have tribal drum stuff and bassline thingies.. if you like digeridoo this one is good for you.. I find this album a little "monotone", I guess I'm just not a big fan of digeridoo.. although there are a few tracks that are totally fabulous.. this might be one of those albums that you actually have to be high/or extremly relaxed while listening.. anyhow.. I give it 7/10
  12. If you want chaotic stuff try some finnish artists.. That's chaotic..
  13. Well I listened to some other tracks of yours and I still think it's loopihs music.. I'm not saying that you took the loops from someone else, but created them yourself. Actually when I said loopihs I ment repeative.. Oh well.. sorry..
  14. this is definetly not my cup of tea ..a little misspelling =)
  15. IMHO Ambient/chill is the comeback of classical music.. Goa is perhaps the come back of Polka music..
  16. not too complex if you ask me.. very "loopish" music.. atleast that Ouija track.. as I am a chill lover I also like some full on stuff, but this is definetly my cup of tea.. here's a little tip.. use more imagination with bassline.. sorry for my critic, but I just don't like this it all..
  17. nope.. but they are promoting them for free.. actually gem and ms & so on should get paid for the work they do..
