A great assortment of ingenious acts on the bleeding edge of musical coherence with mere cacophony.

 

 

 

My Highlights :

 

* Terminator – KFSBK on Submarine

 

It did not take the whole track to terminate me, but it came close. The kick on the song comes with the typical hard-core timbre with a tail of 148 BPM's. It feels like a human heart drifting back and forth. If you ask me, is too much over 8 minutes, where is a break when you need one? Everything seems fine except, the quasi-Michael Jackson sample woo-hoo-ing now and again. There is a love-hate relationship with me. Might be a deadly song if you don’t know what you are getting yourself into.

 

 

 

* Freaking – Depravation Chamber

 

The new Russian full-on managess to build another layer on top of the incessant drum work, floating above at a different rate, from the banging with pure psychedelic ear candy. Freaking displays enjoyable and quirky samples with traces of progressive, on top a kick and bass that you know are just full on. Complex music designed to be heard from the other side of... the pond.

 

 

 

* Cyberplanet – Wasabi

 

Funky sound on with a standard bass line and congas echoing on the kick, along synth lines reminiscent of an electricity discharge. There is this magical melody somewhere by the end I can only associate with some sort of wooden xylophone, of probable Asian descent. Interesting syncopated break by the middle picking up the pace by the end; after all Wasabi does stop stinging for a minute or after you tasted it long enough.The green spread only gets spicier as the timeline runs its course.

 

 

 

* Derango - Boomorgon Remix

 

Jens Eriksson and Ola Eriksson’s sound remains eerie and twisted, but never dispersed nor spotty. The synth effects are original, there is still a melody there somewhere and the tweaking of the voice samples are a delight. It’s the Örebro sound we have come to expect.

I demand a Derango Album. One of the biggest surprises in Psy IMO. Dark, but very original and very twisted. Loving "Boomorgon"

 

The rest on this album, is not bad either, the samples sound just great :)

Well this is a CD of dark, pumping psy trance. Nothing cutting edge, but the Saiko samples were interesting enough for me to purchase.

 

 

Like RAH, I really liked track (6). However, I also really enjoyed tacks (3), (8) and and (10) (note: I usually do not like Derango).

 

However, I was less keen on track (7). The first two tracks were merely 'okay'.
