    Negans - Danse Macabre EP

    in 2016

    Posted

    This ep is about atmosphere and story-telling. Tracks progress as in you hear a lot of diffirent stuff within one track, which I like. Especially considering how rare that is nowadays. As Trance2MoveU said, its not 10/10 legendary stuff BUT I enjoyed the hell out of it! He takes his time to build up a story!

     

    Do yourself a favour and download this EP. You wont regret it! 

     

    Fave tracks: 1 and 4

    Artha - Dream Telepathy (Cronomi Records)

    When I said I wanted Cronomi to get bigger and that I wanted more releases, I meant that in the best possible way. Guess it came out wrong somehow.

    Never the less, thank you and the artist for this release. It really is great! Also cant wait for the next one which you mentioned in the "Portamento - The Portal" review thread.

    Cheers! :)

    Why? We already have labels that release music like crazy.

    We also need the labels the release once in a blue moon.

    More frequent releases doesnt have to mean that the quality will drop. I would just like to see them get bigger as they deserve to be. I want to see more from them because they have released great quality content everytime, and when I see their name- I know its going to be good.

    Dont see why you wouldnt you want more music from a great record house.

    I was getting my hate goggles on when I started listening. I never was an Artha fan because I always thought that he is capable of making a few good tracks, while the rest of the album just isnt as good. Yeah... That is no longer true!

     

    I absolutely LOVE this album. His sound has matured while still retaining his own style.

     

    So I have to say the album is not such good as I dreamed.

     

    The first two tracks is brilliance, but the rest ones is... no, I don't want to say it, but I have to... some kind of boring.

     

    That's how I saw "Dream Telepathy" at the first time.

    I actually agree with him. The first half of the album is superior to the other but its still a great album. Favorite tracks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

     

    Just love Cronomi Records! They are on fire with their releases. Hope that we will start getting more frequent releases from them.

    Proxeeus - Weird Tales (Goa Madness Records)

    I agree that the progress from the debut album is clear and in the right direction! Having said that, I still think the tracks are somewhat held back by pretty static and simple rhythm section (bass + drums) while some of the non-acid melodies are IMO just plain annoying: repetitive, off-tune, often to fast and chaotic; even if markedly improved over the debut (e.g. Let's Goof). I also miss some key changes in there, that'd add more "drama" to the arrangements and contribute to better storytelling. The acid lines are obviously top notch, varied and tonally diversified which is great for such acid-focused release but - surprisingly - despite this it's pretty flat in terms of carried energy, i.e. the peaks & valleys (so to speak) are not sufficiently distinguished.

     

    I actually get where you're coming from (I usually dont since I dont have such good ears :P ). A few of those flaws I heard as well but I decided to give it the biggest grade because I enjoyed it immensely. Couldn't stop listening to it for days. Empirical bias I guess but I still think it deserves it IMO.

     

    Thank you for your review antic as always!

    Various Artists - Dimensional Gateway 4: Veil Of The Moon (Neogoa Records)

     I hope it will be a crossover between Celestial Transvibrations/The World Beyond with classic melodic Dimensional Gateway stuff

    COME ON 2017!!! Cant wait much longer! I was hyping over "Dimensional Gateway 4" ever since Richpa said that I can expect "The World Beyond" (which is one of the most important releases in the recent 5 years for me) sound in it. :wub:

    Proxeeus - Weird Tales (Goa Madness Records)

    in 2016

    a2656735152_10.jpg
    Artist: Proxeeus
    Title: Weird Tales
    Label: Goa Madness Records
    Release date: 02.11.2016

    Track list:
    1: A Lone Mi Go
    2: The Shoggoth In The Mirror
    3: Something Lurks On Yuggoth
    4: He Waits Dreaming
    5: Tekeli Ii
    6: What The Moon Brings
    7: Let's Goof
    8: The Mad Poet Of Sana'a
    9: Fhtang No More

    Who Is Proxeeus? Well, Jerome Lesterps is his name and he is a guy from France. Pretty new to the scene but he has made quite the name for himself and that is "The dude who has some serious 303 issues."
    In the summer of 2015, he released his debut album called "At The Mountain Of Madness" on Ektoplazm (download it for free here: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/proxeeus-at-the-mountains-of-madness) A release that standed out and had a few of my favorite tracks like Vimanas and Chandra Knows. I, unfortunately didnt have the honor of hearing him live but I did listen to his gigs online and just by looking at him you can feel the serious vibe that he emits! I like that.

    Now that we've introduced ourselves, lets get back to business! The album cover has the Lovecraft motif (like the previous album as well) and I actually got introduced to Lovecraft's literature quite recently so this set the theme for me perfectly!

    As you people know, I'm not good with technicalities so I'll write how tracks make me feel as I'm writting this as I listen to the album for the second time. Bear with me! :)

    The story begins with A Lone Mi Go and it kicks of with quite the energy. A catchy razor sharp electric melody gets introduced with a lot of ambient noises that set the mood vey well for the rest of the album to come. Next comes The Shoggoth In The Mirror. Just like in Lovecraft's short stories, everything goes awry very quickly, and so does this album! The track has a dark and hypnotic pounding tone and is riddled with acid and the track ends with a BLAST! There is something calling to us from the depths and who are you to resist? Something Lurks On Yuggoth. The crawling chaos. . . creeping and building up as the track progresses. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A story of its own. He Waits Dreaming this track sounds so oldschool to me, which is of cource a good thing! On a few notes some sounds gave me the "NDMA - The Answer" feel, maybe Im tripping. But then again, what IS real? You have been seeing strange silhouettes and weird noises all day. The second half of the track gets pretty aggressive. Jerome definitely likes to end his tracks with a blast. With Tekeli Ii I hear how Jerome's sound matured compared to his previous album. There is a lot stuff to hear yet it's all tidy and organized. Just pay close attention at @4:55! Words are starting to fail me... What The Moon Brings... Well it brings a perfectly balanced combo of melody and acid. One of my favorite tracks! Let's Goof is pretty straight forward. A dance-floor oriented track I think. Didnt like it as much but its still great. The Mad Poet Of Sana'a has an easternish melody. He had an obsession with instruments made of glass and metal and had used them to combine them into yet weirder objects. He was known for doing strange magic involving electricity and people were as much as in awe as they were afraid of him... The album ends with Fhtang No More. A more melodic and brighter track, and a last stand against the eeriness. A hope for dawn.


    Jerome is a bard that sings his songs through the TB-303. His tracks are interchanging constantly. A lot of peaks and a lot of lows. A lot of thought was invested into the ambient which is then followed by a lot of entropy. A balanced chemical reaction which is then disrupted just to be returned to its calm and stable state again.

     

    Favorite tracks: 2!, 3, 4, 5!!, 6 

    Edit: I tried to figure out what my favorite tracks were, but I literally think that all of them are standouts except Let's Goof which isnt AS amazing as the rest.

    Its a wonderful album and a worthy successor! Grade 7/7 from me!

    Do you drink coffee

    Well I did drink it when I needed to cram for my anatomy exam, but I 98% of the time avoid it cause of my drastically large sensitivity to it. I drink one cup and start shaking, sweating and and become so focused that I can do only one thing at a time...

     

    No coffee for me :(

    you asked for shitty stick? not that it's a bad track, but if i had to choose one slinky track it definitely wouldn't be the first to come to my mind. lunar juice would be a more obvious choice. but i guess it's better than a poke in the eye with a... ;)

    That by itself is why I asked for Shitty Stick! :) Lunar juice is more famous and it already got played a few times on previous parties by the same guys. Also you should have seen the mass when he played it! Complete acid meltdown man! The Djs tend to play tracks that more people know (only oldschool goa but still) and I usually ask nicely for some track that I like and they play it for me. Not everyone is a goa worm that knows almost all albums by year released lol

     

    Awesome brother, awesome. How hard were you dancing or doing whatever it is you do?

     

    Great tracks btw. Slinky nuns.. win every time.

     

    Brings a smile to my face to see you reply.

    That night in particular, VERY HARD!  Legendary night! Plus the party was on a platform, maybe I can even call it a big boat that floats on the place where Sava flows into Danube, ancored to the shore. The morning was absolutely amazing as the sunrise made the danube look like its burning, the wind was blowing hard and the goa was raging. Damn that was a beautiful day!

    When I asked a dj to play Maia by Pleadians and Shitty Stick by Slinky Nuns and he played both during his set. I went completely beserk. Nothing felt as good in my life as hearing those 2 tracks on a massive sound system.
