    ....

     

    This was pretty disappointing for me, overly cheesy and nowhere near as good as his older (deeper) stuff.

     

    I gave it another listen yesterday and I liked the over-ethnic music but the vocals are too much for me.. So now I'm checking out Nagual Sound Experiment - Invisible Movements :)

    Thx for your insight ;)

     

    edit: I skipped the NSE album and got Gel sol - IZ

    How to write a goa / ambient review

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Hello!

    Some time has passed since I last opened a topic. But there's something that would be nice to get some information about - the reviews.

     

    I really like reading them and I also like to write them. Before I post them here, I'd like to know what are some of the tips you (the experienced reviewers :) ) would give to someone relatively new to this "profession". Maybe what should one stay away from? What do you focus on: production, mastering, impression,...?

     

    Personally, I like to write how the music made me feel. And this is also the main reason I listen to music, it makes a strong impression on me and I like to share that with others (and at the same time tell what I like and what I don't in a song).

     

    What about you?

    VA - Tranchillizer

    in 2008

    Posted

    V/A – Tranchillizer

     

    Artist: Various

    Album: Tranchillizer

    Label: Peak Records

    Year: 2008

    Style: Psychill

     

    Tracklist:

    01. Tanina Munchkina & The Leu Family – Aequus Animus (INTRO)

    02. Ajja – Pearcushion

    03. Atriohm – Tengri

    04. Kickbong – Drumridoo

    05. Don Peyote – Ragga Agogo

    06. Mauxuam – Bleeding 4 Africa

    07. Various – Soulcatch

    08. Palyrria vs Ajja & Master Margherita – Askia (Tzoura Remix)

    09. Pineal – Flying Carpet

    10. Zoneotura & Jeff Leinwand – 2060

    11. Dagas & Master Margherita – Dreamcatcher

    12. Naaga – Pray

    13. Megatone – Nirvana (OUTRO)

     

    For me the word used for the „chill" genre, means exactly that, what it does to you - it makes you chill out. Because of that, I rarely expect from chill releases more, than to make me relaxed and at the same time interested in the songs.

     

    The friendly folk at Peak Records, however, made something more! A whole séance, beginning with Aequus Animus, the soothing voice and bird singing invites us in and when the trip ends, the normal state is re-enabled with Nirvana. In between there are a lot of sounds, each more eclectic than the other and each focusing on a different side of one's psychedelic perception.

     

    The compilation features ethnic elements combined with all sorts of Fxs and real instruments (drums, didgeridoo, bas, tabla, flute ...). Some of the tracks are more relaxed in a psychil (twisted sounds, yay!) kinda way the others are faster, more tribal, similar to the album Peaking Goddess Collective - Organika.

     

    Recommended!

     

    Favs: Pineal - Flying Carpet, Various - Soulcatch (the voice sample is hilarious! :) ), Palyrria vs Ajja & Master Margherita - Askia (Tzoura Remix) - however the compilation should be listened to as a whole.

     

    Where to get it?

    I'm thinking about Outersect - God Love the fool, but is it really that good?

     

    In the near future - Scann-tec - Facial Memories, maybe VA - Vital Signs. I sure do love Celestial dragon <3

     

    I'm thinking also about: Adham Shaikh - Collectivity

    Galaxy - Science of Ecstasy

    Zymosis - (forgot the title)

    Solar Quest - Sola Luna

    How do you listen to digital music?

    Yeah, Amarok is great, would never give it up. As far as I've heard 2.0 should be alright (customisable and everything), but I'll keep using 1.4 for some time. I especially like the feature to manually shuffle the songs and to make some tracks go to queue while playing in a playlist.
