Grapes Of Wrath are Jacob Skouborg (Jaffa) & Morten Wurtz (Monno) from Århus, Denmark and Meteloids are Rølike Jahbo (Jahbo) and Bo Terkelsen (Insane Behavior) also from Århus… Enough chit-chit, let’s check out the burning funbags… Let me take you thru the tracks… #01: [144 BPM] Wackie Mackie is indeed Wacky… It’s harsh and heavy – bitter and twisted – sour and pissed off… You guessed it, as legend has it, this is among the darkest, spookiest most twisted psytrance money can buy… A demented melody haunts this track from start to finish – alongside some filtered electronic farts and a sinister bassline… Unfortunately not much else happens here – I could’ve wished for more variation in this track… But this definitely work wonders for all the Duracell-bunnies on the dance floor… Decent track! #02: [148 BPM] And now it’s time to face the haze… This track slowly builds – adding FX and after a couple of minutes it’s full blown with twisted synths, acid riffs and cut-up voice samples… It still has a ‘lazy feel’ to it – although it’s running @ 148 bpm… I like how stereo FX are used on most of the flaring acid riffs – guaranteed to mess with shroomy heads… Nice little track! #03: [147 BPM] A nice floating, organic intro is brutally interrupted by a pounding bassline – taking no prisoners… Soon we’re treated to some GOW-goodies: Digital drops and acid belches catapulting through the airwaves fucking with your brain… ‘Raw’ is a fitting description actually – whereas ‘Sushi’ would be totally wrong… Booyakasha! #04: [148 BPM] Imagine being 48 and crunchy… A shocking scenario indeed… Thx for the reminder Meteloids… This track has one of the phattest grooves I’ve heard in this kind of trance – Dark, gritty, raw, and brutal – uncooked, untreated, crude – but extremely trance inducing… This simply blows my damn socks off… Nuff said! Stellar track! #05: [148 BPM] Remember the Texas Faggott track “Back To Mad” with the bizarre Backstreet Boys-like sample? This track uses a similar idea in the intro… Funny… Also the weird human-laugh-turns-into-a-crow sample is a funny idea… This track gallops away at 148 miles pr. hour, but maintains a ‘bouncy feel’ throughout… At times it is as though too much is going on at the same time, which can be a bit confusing ~ mental overload… But most of the time it just rocks! #06: [148 BPM] And now for the track about a 9 Volts regulated 500mA plug-in mains adaptor! A cryptic track-title like that is exactly what you’d expect from an album with pix on the cover of 4 guys puffing on a dirt bong… More acid-driven mental distortion music… Hints of tribal percussion interlaced with crazy undecipherable voice samples… GOW does what GOW does best on this track: A massive wall of fast-paced, murky night trance… Enjoyable! #07: [146 BPM] More GOW… “I’ve been having these hallucinations … having these delusions … All I know is it feels like my skull is splitting in half!” … Yikes – sounds like you’ve been tripping once too many mate… Another full-blown track in the vain of the predecessors… Canny, twisted, deeply psychedelic night-trance… I like how the digital acid-lines almost sound organic here… Massive track! #08: [147 BPM] Meteloids muster up their last strengths on this final track to put an end to this boobs-ablaze trip… This is multilayered, complex party-music for trancers, dancers, romancers and dope fiends! All kinds of acid lines, synths, bleeps and blips forms bizarre bits of melodies, helps create a twisted tune – complete with spooky voice samples and overall madness… Well done! What a great year it has been for this kind of music… The dust has hardly settled from the last Parvati instalment ‘Psychedelically Yours 2’ which was very popular with the masses – and I’m sure this will be so too… Judging by the hype it has already received in various internet forums, I’m pretty sure that the many fans of dark, twisted, underground horror-trance will eat this one raw… Personally I’ve pretty much surrendered to this album… It has a higher good/bad track ratio than Psychedelically Yours 2 – which already had a pretty good ratio… That being said, there are still flaws on this album… A few tracks suffer from ‘stand-still-syndrom’ for certain amounts of time – which works well on the dance floor, but for home listening it can get tedious at times… But hey, you know what you’re getting into when you’re putting on a Parvati release… Highly energetic, sensory challenging, hard-hitting, nightmarish, acid-driven, underground night-trance… Recommended for all fans of the above mentioned style… Enjoy! =D Favourites: 2, 4 (!!), 5, 7 DeathPosture External links: Meteloids: http://www.meteloids.com/ Parvati Records: http://www.parvati-records.com/ Wirikuta: http://www.wirikuta.at/web66/product_detai...howDetail=60575 Psyshop: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/pav/pav1cd007.html (Audio samples available!)

Nefarious Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Well it finally arrived. This is FUCKING BRILLIANT! This is exactly the kinda tunes i love. Above rev by DP is a great idea of what to expect, but it will exceed any expectations you have of this album by 1000 shrooms to 1. Congrats to G.O.W, Meteloids and Parvati for such an awesome release. Do your stereo a favour, particularly if your a bit disheartened by lots of releases lately, I.M etc (not that I'd be caught fukin' dead with it ) and go explore a new realm. This Fukin Rocks Hard!!!! Classy cover too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmer Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Arrived today! Put it straight on! My mind has been manipulated, violated...and I love it!!! This is too awesome to describe but you've done a nice job on it Posture...how can any other music sound the same again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 The Bubble Skum track is FUCKING awesome, my kind of psy, lots of..... Iam speechless... Brilliant album!!! This rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 err... sometimes I read the reviews, then listen to the album and end up wondering if we're all talking about the same thing... IMO this SUCKS bigtime!!! Since when is a loud bassline with random squeltches thrown into your face considered good??? At least with "GMS fomula stompers" you get a climax near the end which gives you an adrenaline rush even if the track is mediocre... here you don't even have that. It's loud bassline, wierd noises, other wierd noises, yet other wierd noises and then the end... WTF?? This has NO melody, no feeling, no atmospheres, no nothing. It could work good on a dancefloor, agreed, but other than that... A few exceptions though: Bubble Skum which is a KILLER!!! Slow and dark progression, this one reminded me a lot of Parasense although it's more dynamic than a usual Parasense track. Also More Me has a dark and spooky atmosphere, listen to this full volume at a party while tripping and you'll get a fuggin baaad trip. I like this one a lot as well Infected by 3d is one I like less but I admit it would work well in a night set on the dancefloor, it has some twisted sounds and a nice atmosphere. other than that... Conclusion I fail to see why everyone's so excited by this one... Yes, there are some dancefloor stromers in there but I'd definatley wouldn't give this album as many positive marks as everyone else gave it... 7/10 from me and I'm being generous... BTW I see that DP was most impressed by track 4... I found that one the WORST on the album!! well, to each their own I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenRealm Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I agree with Lemmi here, downloaded the album but found out that the songs are all a bit alike. Bubbleskum is a nice track but nothing on this album is outstanding imo.. Plus the fact i'm not a diehard Dark psytrance fan, makes it a little difficult to see why some people are praising this album into psyheaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Psychiatrist Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 For me this album is pretty much the continuation of such classics as Koxbox's Great Unknown and Hux Flux's Cryptic Crunch. Pretty solid stuff, although could be much better with some melodies here and there. Def. best CD that emerged from this peculiar Dark Psy sub genre.

Sawfly Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Love it. It has become a classic to me "We mean to cancel the world you civilized people made. We will simply erase history from the time that machinary and weapons threatened more than they offered. And when you die... the last living reminder of hell will be gone." :posford: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grle Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is a Classic, still in 2009 playing it and it sounds so amazing. Timeless music, :clapping: first time I heard this on a dancefloor back in 2004/2005, man I felt something that I never felt before, :posford: viva GOW and Parvati rec.
