Morning Full On comp from the famous german label.

First track is clubby full on, very simple and fluffy all the way with a super cheesy final melody.Not my cup of tea.

Next is Silicon Sound, one of the most quality morning full on artists around. Jupiter 8 it's in the same style with most if his tracks but nothing great.Too typical I guess.

Next is a new group from Israel, Hydrogen. Typical Israeli full on clone, nothing new at all.Their track is ok with a very interesting psychedelic part (around 4:30) but too clubby again.

Goma's track is much better though. Again typical full on style, but with interesting melodies. Kinda cheesy of course but good.

Track 5 is again Israeli full oin clone stuff. Not much to say, same melodies,same style, same ideas,nothing new. Ok track but that's all.

Space Buddha's Time Travelling is great! Full on again but with Goa-ish melodies. Like a combination of 1996-1997 style with 2003 full on era. Great!

Impulses is good too. Clubby, more trancey but very colourful and beautiful track. Fluffy but good one.

And time for Lemurians with the best track here by far. Hard full on with great melodies, not cheesy at all, and enough madness. Awesome!

Last track by Life Extension. Good bassline but horrible,cheesy melodies. I don't like it at all!

 

Overall, typical morning comp of 2003 full on style.Clubby,fluffy and cheesy except track 6 and 8.

5.5/10

 

Fav:4,6(!),7,8(!!!)

i have to admit: i like cheese! i almost love cheese! not all, but most of it! i mean, i have some cheese almost every day! such a great invention! when i think about cheese some nacho cheese tacos pop up, the icing cake for all sorts of noodles and pizza. to round up every meal, have some good cheese with white bread and a bunch of grapes. hell, the suisse even invented a cheese meal where you dip your stuff in a bowl with hot cheese. to perfect a photo think of cheese and get a smile. i can't think of anything bad when it comes to cheese...

 

wait, there is something. i think of smelly feet! is it this metaphor that brought a distinct negative connotation to cheesy music? this connotation that puts cheesy fullon next to annoying euro trance? well, i don't know but thank god that cheesy music can sometimes sound like a buttered bread with a thick slice of old gouda. simple but effective. not to even say: what you want more? but again, the cheese in the music never reaches the greatness of a real cheese. cheesy comps can never be slightly more than average. so in this particular genre of cheesy-melodic-fullon-trance this might be the best comp i know. a rating of 5.5/10 like above is the climax or at least near the climax for a cheesy comp, isn't it? so, to me, this is somehow the cheese fondue of a melodic comp. you know better ones? let me know...
