Tromesa - Owig Weg / Migot Komorek Artist: Tromesa Title: Owig Weg / Migot Komorek Label: Spiral Trax Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. Owig Weg 02. Migot Komorek Review: A great EP from our Polish friends Tromesa. The theme for this EP is Progressiv Trance. It takes of with "Owig Weg" which consists of Screechie effects on top of a quite happy melodie. The bassline is very cool and the drum kicks azzz, it´s so hard!! There is also some floating atmospherich sounds so you can use this as morning music aswell. But can be used as a nightstomper to!!! =) "Migot Komorek" is more of a pure stomp-track. The happy melodie is gone and here you can find more of those screechie details and alot more psychedelic sounds! Dark & Heavy! Should be played at a huge soundsystem! Do you like the Internatinalism comp??? If so, you´ll love this one. No grades though, thats up to u!

Not for homelistening,,, maybe fits on parties,, but no highlights,, dissapointed!

Really good! Some real tops and no bad ones (maybe Freak Diciple)

Ree K - Agaru To Sagaru Artist: Ree K Title: Agaru To Sagaru Label: Matsuri Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 08'57" Agaru To Sagaru 02. 09'07" Subconscious Mind Review: This is pure Matsuri stuff. Both with that "Japanese touch". "Subconcious Mind" is a driving psy-track with strange details and spacey effects. The tempo is fast and with its driving melodie this is perfect for the floor. "Agaru to Sagaru" is in the same style, but not as aggressive. The melodie floats nicely and is swooching true the track up and down. The the tribal percussions is excellent. I like the "Agaru to Sagaru" track more, but "Subconcious Mind" propably fits better for the floor. 2 good tracks in the mystical spirit of Japan.

Hey.. just want to say that this is a masterpiece. Like all the tracks,, specially rain, hallucinogen and Norturnal Chainsaw Kerfuffle (on of the best I´ve ever heard!

Noma - Goons / Vacuum Artist: Noma Title: Goons / Vacuum Label: Spiral Trax Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'45" Goons 02. 09'12" Vacuum Review: So, time to write a little review about the first Spiral Trax release by the swedish act Noma. Noma is Magnus Andersson and he have made a real killer tune here in "Goons". It´s an excellent driving progressiv psy-trance track which should be played in the middle of the night to build up the vibe which every party wants. It´s just what it is, a real builder. It builds up through the whole track with aggressive sounds in an excellent way. You just get more and more excited through the whole track and you just can´t sit still, it must be hard to get more energy than this out of a track. brilliant! "Vacuum" also builds quite slowly but it´s not as aggressive as Goons, more of a morning tune. With its dark progressiv feel and minimalistic melodies in the background (which sometimes can be hard to notice at all) it sounds a bit like some of Atmos releases (especially the Medical Trauma / Bad Liutenant EP). This is a great EP and "Goons" is propably the best track of it´s kind (if you compare with S-Range and other artists with this "sound"). A must have for you who like the sound of pure "swedish progressiv psy-trance".

Eargear - Multiband Komposter Artist: Eargear Title: Multiband Komposter Label: Naja Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'39" Multiband Komposter 02. 07'20" Aceton 03. 07'45" Rumburak Review: This is a pure german minimalistic progressiv trance EP. The first track is, with its heavy kickdrum and dark/evil twisted effects, one of the darkest tracks I´ve ever heard. It´s a must have for you who like the stuff from Spirallianz and Midi Miliz. "Aceton" is in the same style but not as evil. Very Screechie! "Rumburak" is not as heavy and dark as the other ones, but the twisted sounds are still there and what I think sounds like som fucked up bird screaming (fits perfectly ). Some people may recognize this track from the Under Construction compilation on MDMA. Maybe my favourite on this EP, but they´re all good!
