  1. u ppl r crazy!! this cd is from 95 and it still kicks the shit out of most cds! i love it, truly one of the best, and definitely the best TE cd. its a bit cheesy cause of its age and the production isn't up to the new standards but damn those psychedelic melodies are insane! old school...
  2. If you like this version of Genetic Monsters, wait until you hear the GMS remix!!! a real dance floor stomper
  3. The best GMS CD!!! 9/10 only for the same-sound copy and paste repetition and final track which gets just a bit boring...overall killer at home to trip or killer at a party. You get sick of this CD fast cause its so good and you listen to it so much, but u *always* come back to it. SOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME

    X-Dream - The Frog

    the best psy song The Frog from the best group X-dream...what's to go wrong? THE BEST PARTY TRACK EVER. So simple, its a wonder how this song is so damn good...must be that chunky bassline!

    X-Dream - Radio

    I don't know why i'm even reviewing this again but i still play it everyonce in awhile...and its the best CD ever. 10/10 in audio quality, sonic manipulation and track structure! this is pretty much the perfect cd. THE FROG is the best track ever! So wicked, so dark, so chilling. Also very cool are Telegram, Psychomachine and Electromagnetic. The ending two tracks are the "worst" but they are still great. The first two tracks are kinda similar. So it starts slow, picks up heavily and ends slowly. Perfect for night music. Nice chunky basslines. My all time favorite CD and I absolutely hate monotonous minimal shit (which this isn't, but it probably started the trend)...
  6. Very dissapointed, sorry Simon, hope you won't hate me for this one. Everything that made the first Shpongle brilliant is gone for the most part so this cd just sounds like a decent ethnic or "world" cd (but who likes those except as sampler fodder for your Akai?). Shpongle I was special before because of the chill factor, 8-12 minute loooong pieces that you could just sit and daze to, great ambience etc but this sounds like crazy tribal music on dmt which i suppose is good for playing to sold out crowds in symphonatic halls and for insane drug induced hippies but not for zombie psy freaks like myself who stay up all night and all morning, 2-3 days at a time and want slower TIP styled music like Mystical Experiences and the atmospheric Shpongle I. It seems as if Simon as cleaned up his act- there are no tracks on this cd as intricate as Beyond Closed Eyelids or as magnificantly enthralling as And The Day Turned to Night. When all is said and done this CD is filled with a lot of stuffer material and substandard ethnic music. The sequences are complex and there are a few gems, the melodies are advanced but overall its just too radical of a departure and "not trance enough" for me. With that said, tracks 2 and 3 are pretty good and tracks 8 and even the shortlived and "wished it were longer" track 9 are superb. I wish Raja had more flute in this cd because it would mean more ambience. The rest though, blah. Track 5 has a nice sample. Overall a 5/10, maybe a 6 for effort if I'm stretching it, sorry but I can't even positively give it an average 6, I am very dissapointed in the promo copy suffice to say I haven't heard the final but I doubt its any different. I hope Shpongle doesn't turn into another Delirium, thinking about Bill Leeb and Sarah McLaughlin, oh man the thought absolutely makes me sick...
  7. AWESOME I can't belive people don't dig this album Sure we've heard better but this is another (short) masterpiece from Simon and friends. Keep it coming
