Well I DO ATLEAST!!! 2nd of all you all anti dub lamers should hear the Gamma Goblins Dub mix and after that decide if you like it or not..
  5. This album is not insane in the Texas Faggott way. It's more like unsane in the insane finnish way.
  6. uu jeah Check out the new Kiwa album.. it's a blast from the "anti past (phuture)"
  7. I just want to add that this album is definetly something that the scene has been waiting for.. It brings back the wonders and the magic that has not been seen since The Lone Deranger album. Well that's just my opinion..

Digital Hangover 05. Neutralize 06. Dramatic Display Of Insanity 07. Alpha Sector 08. Kiva Runner 09. Deceptive Antiseptic 10. Divider 11. Nasty Drop 12. Lahti Skyline Review: Alright I guess most of us have heard about Kiwa. Well this is their first real Album that is not a mp3 release, but the real shit. Before I start I just want to say, that there will be lots of misspelling on this review, however I'm too lazy to correct them. Track 1. "Cricket in the head" A cool breakbeat starts out this track. Some wicked effects join it pretty soon. At 00.40 we get somekind of bassline and a stronger beat. At 01.10 it's possible to recognize the kicks and a solid bass. The tr icked noises. At 05.00 there is a breakbeatish part, where the track almost falls apart.. I love it. There's a small groovy part in the end. Great track indeed and it makes you wonder what is to come. Track 2. "Trans-Electronic" Weirdness starts this track. Some spacey soundscapes and then a suprising start of a extremly hard driven kick. At 00.50 The kick gets a solid beat next to it. This is somehow very melodic, although there are no real melodies. It's like the melody is build up with the weir ovy or anything like that, just groovy. Track 3. "Rally spirit" A Spacey slowly spinning 80's synth effect starts this track. Then a tribal well.. voice joins it. at 00.50 the beat and at 01.10 groovy bassline. A few seconds later effects that are sort of part of the "pattern". The bassline becomes tribal. Everything is somehow building up around it. Streams pass by. Messages from above? The effects somehow play part of the beat. Once again the kicks hold the track together. At 02.50 you could e 1. At 05.00 the beat is the beast itself. It's made from samples and a kick somewhere far far away. But a second after second the track becomes more and more digitalized. At 06.10 the synths are back for a little while. And the beat.. well.. WOW. The Syth returns.. and it's all over. Track 4. "Digital Hangover" What a great name for a track after the last track. At 00.18 we get the beat. All the effects are shaked and definetly disturbed. At 00.50 it all just makes sense. The synths seem to play is something wicked to come. At 04.00 everything is quite normal. Just the kick beating the track up. Well the synth fights back. Also the hihats. Actually it's once again groovy, hallucinogenic..? Violet Visionish perhaps? Great stream of synths and wicked wicked effects. A violin? No, a bagpipe? Well it's gone.. At 06.00 some1 tells you to "dance, dance, dance"? Maybe it's just my imagination? "Dance, dance, dance, switchstance?" Well once again I somehow feels shpongled, perhaps there is something sim o be a part of it too. At 03.20 a great break, and a change of tempo. Junglish? Kick is dissapearing. Chilled part again. Kick comes back. Nice synths. Very danceable. Doesn't matter what you do, it should suit the needs. Well the kick tells you to dance, the effects tell you to concentrate and try to reach the inner core of the track. You decide. Okay fine, I DANCE! Oooooh yeeeaaah!!! Dance baby, DANCE! Lift those feet, come on! HEh it tells you to dance, but in the finnish way. Well at 06.33 every1 shou ll love this, that's for sure. This is no 4 x 4 garbage that's for sure too. Track 7. "Alpha Sector" You can feel that it's the beat, but it's digitally manipulated, but then it starts. And it's very digitalized indeed. Yes, this is what electornic means. Everything is crystal clear. At 01.15 some breakbeats, and after that a powerfull bassline, that bites the edge of the beat. But behold, the beat is getting stronger. There's definetly a symbios between these two. The bassline gives the beat some room to play around, then vica versa. Even the synths get some room. And then the awesome. Soooooooo Psychedelic, I might repeat myself, but yes multilayered. At 6.46 some bongos join the masterpiece. The track becomes more rational. The beat and the bassline are definetly stronger. 07.44 a small break, fill your lungs, dance, fly, YELL!! Aaaaaaarhhhhhgghhh! Track 8. "Kiva Runner" Didgeridoo begins this track, and some very tribal drumsjoin in notime, also some other distant noise can be heard. The kick becomes part of the tribe. Also the synths, and the horn,strings, well something? Bulding up lasts till a small break. After the break the building up continues. At 01.44 the track is extremly tweaked and twisted. Something you wouldn't have expected. Well I'm still waiting for the blast that will make me dance like a madman, lift my arms in the air and yell Track 9. "Deceptive Anticeptic" Bouncing sounds and a breakbeat start out. Some build up going on? OOHH yeah. This is 100% pure freestyle. I love it. Melancholic synth bouncing aroung, very strong kicks every now and then. Strong beat. Strong pitched hihats. Cool break and at 01.45 the track becomes synth driven. Once again somehow tribadelic. Just keeping my eyes closed and concentrating on this makes my fly. Well.. makes my mind fly, wonder and wander around the digitalized multiverse of shpongledelic happyland. Creating this sort of music sure requiers great talent. What a song!! Track 10. "Divider" Great build up in the beginning. It's like they throw everything in, but keep it on the leash. Well soon the beast will be free. It's still held back at 01.00. Suddenly one instrument at time, 1st the kick then the bassline, and the synths are released. This is not for dancefloors either. Dancefloor music is made for physical flying, this is made for mental flying. There's so much going on in this track. Bongos, 100 different synths, a melody is hiding behind it all, concentrate and Track 11. "Nasty Drop" Once again a beat starts out. It's getting louder and louder. It gets a backing hihat at 00.20. Rolling drums. And suddenly a groovy bassline. Very danceable. Somehow I get the Shpongle feeling again. Very creative ideas are used here. Somehow hallucinogenic. A little tribal again. Well I just keep on dancing. Trying to get 100% out of this celebration of the geniosity of human mind. Very clear track somehow. Allthough there's a lot going on this track is very "general" style. Not . But ending soon, you can hear it. Once again.. WOW!! Track 12. "Lahti Skyline" Well this is a nice ambient ending for the madness. Very emotional. Echoes. Long and even longer synths. A weak beatish thing that grows into a beat at 00.45, soon joined by a bassline at 01.00. Very emotional indeed. At 01.15 this is just brilliant. Echoes, some wicked synths. Dark? Am I alone? Once again emotional is definetly the word to describe this. Somehow It feels like I'm back in Thailand. Don't know why.. Then some sounds interrupt the track. It returns at 03.00 but 100% changed. Is this the end? I wish not, but yes it is. Too bad I could have listened to this track 20 more minutes. Final Thoughts: Well 1st of all this album has a great copying shield. It would require atleast a 1000Kbps mp3 stream to make it sound as it sounds on the cd. 2nd of all this album will make most psy albums sound like minimal music and feel like if they were made with just the simple "copy & paste" method. 3rd of all this is for me definetly the best album this far of this year. Maybe the best album since Shpongle 2 (maybe I can tell after a few weeks). Well I recommend this to everyone. This album will stay fresh for weeks, months maybe years, cause the amount of data in the stream is just incredible. Everytime I listen to it through it sounds so different. Well I could probably write a book of this album but I wont. Definetly 10+/10. BOOM!
  9. That's very common of phinns today. Bitch about the ticket prices, bitch about the "lack of spirit", bitch about the audience, bitch about freaking everything. if you rather watch television and eat trash at home on Saturday night, well it's up to you. I enjoyed the party, and I would have definetly payed 30€ for it if asked..
  10. The cover is extremly cool. Can you see the connection between this one and the one from Infected Mushroom - The Gathering?
  11. So who's going? Bet your ass, that I will be there =)
  12. One more thing.. I don't want to get misunderstood.. I am NOT saying that Simon and Raja are borrowing from Yaniv Shulman.. I guess what I just want to say is that this is not an ordinary album.. You know one of those that you buy, listen to through once and then put in in the shelf where it's going to stay as a decoration and not to be listened through ever again.. For the people who say that Yaniv is ripping off Shpongle: SHAME ON YOU.. Respect the author.. Shulman made an album out of this world far beyond skills of homosapiens..
  13. You guys are saying that Yaniv Shulman is borrowing from Shpongle. Somebody asked him in the isratrance.com forum that what happened to his last album and this is what he answered: "I'll try to explain what happened......the last trance track Ive wrote was about 3 years ago............we had a thought about compiling all my old stuff but I've decided to cancel it because I think its a bit, how to put it ??, well, its old. I don't think it stands up to today's standards in trance music. Anyway that's why the album was canceled. But after a lot of delays caused mainly by me not belonging to all my base and the lack of free time to arrange everything, Im finally releasing a new (you decide) album in the near near future, (something like a week or two. (touch wood)I hope that's explains it all." So as you can see the songs of this album were made atleast 3 years ago.. and that is before "Are You Shpongled?" SO.. Who's borrowing from Who?
  14. This is an old album and that's exactly what it sounds like. Old. IMHO this is just an average album with no special tracks. I give it 7/10
  15. Thank You Twisted.. who's bitching about the tracklist? if this one doesn't do it for you.. what does? Younger Brother more chill less BPMs please
  16. last one feels a little bit weak.. Well Mr. Anonymous you definetly don't have knowledge on what great music is about.. Go screw your BPMs.. and leave the real music for people who understand it.. I mean this remix OMG it's a pearl, the best shpongle song this far.. Simon & Raja.. good luck

    V/A - Floatation

    I got this cd a few months ago.. and i was expecting so much out of it, but.. IT'S BORING.. it's only that athmospheric sh*t.. just like: twelve, wabi, etc.. If you have one of those albums and you don't like them don't get this one..
  20. Is that cover taken from a f**king scooter album or something? I was thinking about buing this album. Well im not going to buy it now. I mean damn, look at that cover, that f*cking sucks. However.. STOP CRITISIZING HOM-MEGA.. Life Is = One of the very best complication known to man

    V/A - Life Is

    OMG YOU MISSED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG ON THIS COMPL.. it's the space cat & elysium song with out any doubt.. ps. at first i downloaded this compl from audiogalaxy.. and then bought it from a store.. that's how good cd it is
  22. better than shpongle.. well it depend's of my mood.. BGM bloody good music
  23. The first track is extremly sweet.. if i wouldn't know who made it i would say infected mushroom.. one of their very best tracks.. but it's made by alien project.. i like the beginning of the doof track: that thing where the lady is talking and suddenly it switches to the telephone sound.. my "unfavorite" has to be the shpongle track.. the first 4 minutes are so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.. and then it changes into "hallucinogen crap".. honestly can any1 say when the sound is flute and when it's a girl singing??
