    The Chemical Brothers

    read his post again.

    The Chemical Brothers were "The Dust Brothers"... but they had to change it.

     

     

    back on topic, Chems are wicked :D

    I've ignored their later stuff, still listen to the old classics :)

    More of an analytical review, because I find a track by track fancy word juggling review quite boring to read ;)

     

    I'll have to agree with Chis on this one.. even though I want to like this I can't find myself getting into it. A lot of the melodies seem to follow the old isragoa formula that I'm not particularly fond of. There are of course some very talented artists behind some of these tracks but the end result is not very impressing. Khetzal.. what happened? He made some of the most beautiful tracks ever a few years ago and now he's resorting to cheap tricks to create a track that'd suit Avigmatic more. -_-

     

    But there are some exceptions. The Talpa, KOB, Red Gravity and Ra tracks saves the CD. You can certainly trust talpa with trying out new things and "Till We Meet Again" is a very interesting track, but with some odd moments that I'm not sure are awkward, bad or just plain genious :)

    "Weight Of Oblivion" is also pretty interesting and even though the vocals are nice the effects doesn't do them justice and even pales in comparison to e.g "Hallucinogen - Angelic Particles". I will definately keep an eye on this project though because I really like this new direction and more recent samples I've heard sound really amazing.

    I'm not totally against this "newschool" movement, there has been a lot of amazing stuff coming out of it and in my opinion the best efforts made to recreate the oldschool vibe were those made back in 2003-2004. To be more specifically, the debut of Filteria and pretty much all tracks Soliptic made back then.

     

    Despite the critics this is a good CD, but I would have expected more from Suntrip. The next two upcoming releases look mightily impressive though (Dimension 5 & Ra) so I don't think I'll be dissapointed this summer :)

    Best Dark Psytrance with melodies?

    I think this one has a kind of early darkpsy thing going on.. especially the latter part of "Nobody"

    Amazing! Didn't quite like it back in 2003, but it has grown on me enormously. All tracks are excellent and varied in both style and atmosphere. The progg/tech housey influences of benji combined with simon's magic manipulations are especially outstanding in "Scanner" and "Even dwarves...", wow! :)

     

    5/5

    I am with everyone here on Reason, its stable, its a good tool, but its limited to the devices in reason. I have heard that the combination of Reason and Ableton live is very nice, and not so CPU demanding either. :) Check it out! :)

    yeah, I think I'll look into that :)

    But Live works damn well on it's own too. It's soooo flexible and easy to work with. Love it :)

    hmm, Seraphim.. are you sure about Speculator and Nobody being maybe the worst psytrance tracks ever? :)

    I mean, just listen to the final two minutes of each track and come post again. Seriously those endings are some of

    the sickest I have ever heard..

     

    It might be the odd voice samples that made you press stop, but you should listen again :)

     

    5/5 No bad tracks..

    Favs: 1!, 2, 3, 4!, 9!
