I was looking in the vinyl section of a local store looking for some psytrance ... the only LP i found there was Koxbox' 'Dragon tales' (very well hidden) ... and this time my eye catched the Krembo label , but i certainly didn't know about this Spiral Active Project ... i listened to it in the store and my first impression was ... WOW , this is very good ! ... and it still is ... but the LP is missing some tracks compared with the cd tracklist . I only have track 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 9 ... my favourites are 2,3,5 and 9 ... i realy like the 'fifth element' sample in Grounded and the incredible melody ... imo one of Krembo's best releases . i give this a 7,5-8/10 (eight would be too much and 7,5 a bit to little)

Indeed syre , collection is one of my favourite tracks too , including Where's my drum and hi - fi stomp session (very obvious ofcourse) ... well , i must say i didn't like this album from the beginning and i 'sometimes' still prefer the more tribal 'minilogue' ... but these perspectives are surely growing on me ... the sound is unique , fresh , certainly not chaotic and the music has this professional touch imo . Sebastian and Marcus are doing very very great , i like their efforts ... 9/10 no psychedelic doubt about that .

I bought this LP a while ago , the trackorder is a bit different but the music is so great .... it has indeed this 'ice' effect in it ... the sounds and basslines are clear ... very groovy tracks indeed ... my favourites are (equal with the cd tracklist) 1,3 and 8 ... smooth swedisch sounds especially the last track which is extremely dreamy , this is what TRANCE music is all about ... enjoy ...... this album get's a psychedelic rating : 8/10

Prisoners Of The Sun , i realy realy like that name ... and even better , the music those guy's offer is perfect too ... thay have their own sound , i wouldn't call it dark ... it's more mystical imo ... very groovy structures in their tracks , subtle layerpositioning ... btw, Luthje ...one member of the Prisoners is even doing incredible stuuf by himself under Adrenochrome ... we'll definitely hear more from those guys in the future ... best tracks on this album are 2 and 5 ... de rest is also good ... this album gets my psychedelic 8,5/10 rating. keep up the great work , btw , i'm realy looking forward to see you guys live in belgium within a few months (at lock'o'motive)... greetings

oh my god , oh my god ! this is awesome , pure trance , done with care and professionalism ... certainly not chaotic ... just perfect ... both tracks get my psychedelic 10/10 rating. the best Filur tracks . and this is the start of 2002 ( makes me happy ) what else can we expect from this Sebastian , the trick behind his masterpieces is probably the fact he creates what he want to create and certainly not a copycat ... he makes his music with love . reasons enough to get realy excited while listening ti FILUR !!!!!!!!!!!

I realy like this compilation , great work by Peter , Sebastian and Marcus ... the coverdesign is as usual very professional ... very clean and done with care .... I found the tracks on Pieces Increase all very tribal , The Bigwigs track is extremely 'dark' , when you hear it it's like you're going through an electronic jungle ? . Other highlight are the two Son-Kite tracks , I realy like the Live mix track with extremely hypnotising drumrolls ... the Qlap one is a stomper , wow ! my fabourites are 1,3,4,5,8 and 9 ... Keep up the good work , this is one of my favourite cd's ... psychedelic rating : 9,5/10

indeed this cd is awesome ..... when i heared it first it didn't realy impress me , but ..... after several listens this cd was growing on me , and once i played this Winter Session extremely loud and it rulez !!!!! groove power guaranteed ... and it doen't get bored at all . there are some mastering mistakes with the outro and intro in some tracks but this is the only negative aspect ... the coverdesign is nice too , a bit minimalistic but with aesthetic graphic skills .... good work , highlights are track 4,5,7 and the bonustrack by Magus .... i'm realy looking forward to hear more. 8,5/10

Hercules made a great track choice , the sound you get here is very fresh and clear , the rhythems are extremely groovy . I realy like the Prisoners Of The Sun track and even more Luthje's track Drug Inventory ... but the track with the most groovy structures is the Fuzzion track , which is not in their usual style but is just superb for dancing and listening . so track 1,2,3,5 and 6 are worth getting this pumping masterpiece . I give this one a psychedelic rating of 8/10 ...

tribal structures , as usual two quality tracks done by Gilenholt and Mårberg , one of my favourite artists ... Dr Muller is my favourite here , that track is so smooth mmm mmm mmm !! the second track is also good but a bit average ( and what about the trackname ?! , well ...never mind )... although this EP deserves a tribal psychedelic ratong of 8,5/10

this is very relaxing music ... just lighten some incense and enjoy ... the sounds are clear , it are sounds of freedom ... a bit experimental in some parts and that's what makes this album one of my favourite chill-out compact discs . the quality is superb , as usual by Mulleart , with this touch of love imo ... i don't realy have favourites , the tracks are a bit in the same style which it make one trip through bits and bytes ....but if i must pick upà the best tracks i would choose 1,2 and 5 ... i'm listening to it wright now and i'm very happy and feel very comfortable highly recommended ... i give this piece of art a psychedelic rating of 8/10

this compilation is only interesting for me cause of 2 tracks ... an extremely mystique groovy Peanut Tube by the Prisoners Of The Sun ... those guys are realy doing some great work lately , also don't forget Luthje's sideproject Adrenochrome which is imo even better ... oh yeah , there were two tracks i realy liked ... the other one i already passed , it is the Triplex track ofcourse ... great vibes , very dancefloor orientated . the Source Unknown track makes me have a headache while listening to it ... pure techno , in here no touch of care and feeling , just 'in you face'... the other members of dynamic Features are mediocre ... only 6/10 , including ugly cover artwork... cuold have been much better .

... this release is so great ... one of my favourite progressive cd's in my collection . the tracks are made with the heart imo , i mean ... every tracks has this kind of emotions , very smooth synthlines on extremely warm and beautiful groovy bass-structures . Oh yeah , before i mention my favourites i must admit that the quality is fabulous ... great work BIM . inside the cd you can read 'COPY KILLS YOUR MUSIC' in huge letters , some of you might think it's undue but you must confess this is the truth. ... so to all the mp3 collectors , you miss half of the 'vibrations' while listening to any ridiculous bitrate . highlights on the cd are : 1,2,3,5 and 7 .... get this !!! psychedelic rating 9,5/10 ...?

I ordered this compilation cause of the Reefer Decree track , which is extremely wonderful . With this release the Flow label get's a place in my label top 5 . OK , and now for who's curious ... a short track description . #1 is as i mentioned already my favourite track on this compilation ... actually , it's one of my favourite Reefer Decree tracks on this moment . they use a very clear sound , they have the same style but there is a crazy sample in the middle of the track which is so subtle . #2 has great psychedelic background noises , and the track has a special kick ... great . #3 not bad but this has been done before , although nice percussion . #4 an XV Kilist Killer , no doubt about that ... very groovy structures and a clear sound. #5 wow , what a surprise , a droidlock must have ... this track creates a dreamy futuristic atmosphere . #6 the Storm brothers aka Antix are talented guys , after hear! ing their tracks on the Plastik Park releases I was looking forward to hear more ... and again . they've done it better than properly ... a killer . #7 good one , but not realy impressive... nice groove ... #8 superb track by Tegma , realy superb ... massive sound , very hypnotising ... one of my favourites . #9 nice atmosphere , very trancy , great melodies ........ well I think my description says enough , if you like progressive psychedelic trance don't miss this one . 8,5/10

...hmm , OK album , but more a collection filler imo... only one great track - addicted - the rest is a bit leading to nowhere . I expected more ... but the album ends in beauty with a very nice chill-out track ... I don't like the - Speechless - track , certainly not my cup of tea... overall , not a bad release but i could have been better ... psychedelic rating : 7/10

Bozo , if you would have bought the compilation you would've been able to play the bonusgame... it's a very nice one. and the compilation is also great ... my favourites are 3,4,6,7 and 8 ... i loved the liquid levels futuristic psytrance and this release was even better ... Creamcrop is a quality label , a new step forward in the evolution of psychedelic trance . 8/10

i agree about the second track - magnetrixx can do much better .... but i can not believe nobody mentioned Attractor as a killer ... this track is so nice , the structured are extremely hypnotising. 8/10 for track 1 and the second track gets 5/10...

Digital Structures did it again.... they managed to release another masterpiece. the sounds on this compilation are all very refreshing and groovy... i realy like this type of progressive trance .... my favourites here are 2, 4 , 6 and 8 ... the Son Kite is extremely hypnotising , wow I realy like this track with the ultimate melody in the end ... and also the ticon track is pretty emotional... the most insane partykiller is the Qlap one with an incredible bass and crazy structures ... 8/10

V/A - Set 01 Artist: Various Title: Set 01 Label: Iboga Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 07'52" Audiopile : The Drill 02. 08'15" Trimatic : Funcator 03. 09'17" Lurifax : Polaroid 04. 09'25" Beat Bizarre : Deep Disco Profile 05. 07'41" Reefer Decree : 506 06. 08'45" Zerotonine : Acid Theatre 07. 07'37" Audiopile : Occult Pizza 08. 06'23" Oryx : Once Upon A Time 09. 08'40" Anesthesia : Eco Review: as you can see lots of tracks on this compilation are already released on EP and CD ... only track #3 is unreleased . but, the main importance of this release is that the mastering is very good comparing with the very first Iboga releases. all the tracks are pretty tribal and hypnotising with mind expanding grooves. #1 is pretty slow but very nice and hypnotising #2 has a very nice groove , one of my favourites #3 is a very strange track, very wicked sounds put together for another hypnotising track with a little melody in the end , nice #4 beat bizarre, what else can i say ... this is a psychedelic masterpiece , the groove is just superb and the track has a warm atmosphere #5 somthing is missing in here , but that's maybe because it's released on the first Iboga EP ... still a great track but not realy my cup of tea... the melody is OK but the structures are a bit lame, maybe it works on the dancefloor but it doesn't in my cd player #6 WOW ... amazing track be Zerotonine , very powerfull and wicked... the best track IMO , the sample used is very funny #7 pretty good by Audiopile... very psychedelic and lovely groove , nice sounds ...better then the first track #8 great ... ofcourse , this on is also my favourite on Tabernanthe but this time the sound quality is much better ..! . #9 worst track on this compilation IMO... i dunno but the sounds don't fit together ... i must say i was very suprised by this releases . maybe this one isn't for every progressive lover but i sure can tell you this one is worth buying for the groove psychedelic rating : 8/10

indeedio, this is an interesting compilation... it contains great tracks for the dancefloor... i like tracks 3,7,8 and 9 but my favourite on this Alchemy release is the Neuromotor track, i was realy astonisched by the power of this song... i like this... great compilation ... psychedelic rating 8/10 ?

definitely the best compilation of 2001... all the tracks are masterpieces ... no further comments ... oh wait...maybe one ... i don't like the cheesy trumpet sound in 'the rush', i get irritated every time i hear it... but this doesn't ruin the compilation ... it's still my favourite.... best tracks 1,2,3 and 8... psychedelic rating 9/10 ?

the cery best album out in the stores... before i knew psutrance i was very fond of FSOL and Banco de Gaia ... but now, i'm shpongled... this album has everything... lots of feeling... sometimes when i listen to this cd i get trears in my eyes... the rhythems are awesome... perfect ... a beautifull picture painted in colours of emotionly filled audio effects. a stream of pure magic ... get this ! psychedelic rating 10/10 this cd is perfect ? it brings back the universal 'goa'-feeling...

i think my brain is damaged by this neuro motor... the sounds are realy motor sounding, especialy in 'Fuck The Dat Mafia Trance XP' ... i heared this track at a party and i totaly got insane ... i kept on screaming it's enormous powerful ... great debut album by frederick ... his track released on different compilations are also very insane.. psychedelic rating : 8/10 btw, i like the coverdesign too ...

great although it's a bit chaotic at some points... but still very listenable and VERY groovy... amazing... my favourites on this album are 'worm' and 'encrusted filth' two pieces of art... i must admit that the 'double dragon style' sounds very organic and liquid... just great psychedelic rating : 9/10

great album... although their track on the '9 pills' compilation is much better... but i like this one very much ... lots of heavy mavhine sounds and all this gives it an insane feeling... ( it reminds me of aphex twin - classics but now in trance form, great) the second part as many say is more experimental and it's very good too... nice one psychedelic rating : 7/10
