Osom - Be Cool [160] Noise Poison was set up by Highko, Iguana and Ilse with a sole intention: Endemic brain intoxication. Catatonic rhythms bent on inducing a heart-attack to anyone over thirty. A balanced roster of established artists and newcomers brings the first installment of the lyserg lesson, making a pretty clear statement of what crowds they are looking to appeal, without budging an inch on ‘easy' listening. Tunes coming from twisted minds, seeking equally deranged ears that might find great pleasure in fast, relentless pulsations with a disjointed acerbic aftertaste. 01. Entropy - Blaze Of Light * “I build this place for a reason, to create this biggest trap in the galaxy. -What did you expect to catch? – Hell is what I'm going to catch and I'm going to burn away in blaze of light”. The first lesson starts the Israeli invasion with the Doof staple, Omer2 & Pitt from Entropy, punching the under under-tones with more up-beat discretion. Plenty of noisy, gurgling VST's and distant squeakies on a steady bass. It gains speed by the end retaining their classical sound… not necessarily a bad thing. 02. Wizard Lizard - Holy Gramm The invasion from the holly land continues with Roi Levi and Guy Marciano, this time around contributing their Gramm of… yeah. Grazing melodies, swooshing and blooming with blippy effects atop rolling kicks. Besides the Seroxtat remix they made for Apocalypse earlier this year I hadn't heard much else from them. Unsure of what to expect I can attest this one serves as good feet stomper, without standing out much from the daily twilight trance. 03. Phatmatix - Violent Comedy * We drift to France now, home the good life and Red Cells Records, which includes amongst its founders Fred and Stephane. The Violent Comedy is a complex number launching an attack on the senses with a good dose of samples, alongside catchy lines and coherent action. They don't miss a bar to squeeze in there some quirky element, making it a sumptuous serving. Check out the Scooby-Doo pads by the end closing the chapter in classy way. 04. Happyleptic - Do The East * Do the east feels like the high point in one of those nights out, you end up regaining consciousness at 6 am on the floor of some unknown petrol station, wondering what happened... and why is your left shoe missing? Ariel Ram hammers a bass so grosse (in the German way) that it seems to jump of out beatwork in its own little plateau. The theme here is laughter blips and samples inviting us to do so, or die trying. One too many build ups for my taste, but it will pick up a crowd that's for sure. 05. Double R.E.L - Icescream * Icescream brings the second Ariel for a double beating, with near screams tweaked in every possible way, following a trip-out on the higher ranges. Amusing, stuttering lines close-guarded by playfully diverse bass. Which begs the question, why aren't more people doing this? 06. Highko - Ultra Violent * In need of a few anger management classes, Highko batters a slightly diverse and interesting percussive adventure from the usual monotone; blasting away scratchy notes with meth-odic speed, in near musical fashion. 07. Kindzadza - Fany Gylation The Fany does seem to gyrate or ‘gylate'… whatever that means, mostly by wallowing in static and short-circuits sounds. The ghost in the machine has taken over, a schizophrenic metal being undergoing an electricity discharge several thousand volts in excess. So it goes nuts for the first 7 minutes while the juice lasts, expiring in a painfully sluggish manner, dragging every volt off delayed fizzy FX. 08. Kindzadza Vs. Highcosmos - If Its To Fast Then You Are To Old * Besides having a similar sound bank from Leo's gylation, it is as fast and wild as you could expect. They don't just name tracks like that without a backbone in the 150's to back it up. Highcosmos complements the piece well with a second synth and near harmonic dissonance. There is a build up half-way through the size of Himalayas, working well to start thinking about cueing something with fat kick on top. 09. Cosmo - Gami Seta Peter Kubala left his studio in Goa to work on the Greek coasts for this one and the change of scenery did not affect his style one bit. Half way we find a curious sample of Ali G when he's talking to the head of the Fb-aigh' and the question pops: "What should a young man do to join the Fb? -Stay away from drugs they should go to college and study hard.” Bit of comedy yeah? Just like this whole track. Are you supposed to dance to this? I'm not an adrenaline junky, I'm getting old and damn lazy, so I'll be waiting for a little more substance next time around. 10. Osom - Be Cool * Yes a folk that is no mistake, the track is going at 160. Faster than you could even fathom chasing the road runner. In ancient Africa they used to hunt elephants with huge drums by inverting the animal's heart beat. That or my music teacher was full of it. Either way, ‘Be Cool' should be banned on all nature's reserves where endangered animals might fall prey of this deadly beat. It goes beyond the edge by the end, at which point the metronome seems to either give up or break. You're going to have to excuse my French when say, “fuckin ‘aye”. * Favourites All and all : The lesson is down-right masochistic if you just finished listening to Beckers. No, they will NOT go well together… I am sure. The collection of peaking blasters delivers a needed energy boost when required. If you are DJ it becomes a sturdy battle tool and the slip-case helps. A lot of high tension on these tracks, some working better than others and as such I see it suiting gig atmospheres more than at home. I'm happy I got it, and will be using it… looking forward to the second version with even higher expectations, more naked tourists and slightly lower BMP's. read it w/ samples: http://www.sonic-energy.net/2005/12/compil...erg-lesson.html Where to Get: http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=5184 http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/npc/npc1cd001.html http://www.wirikuta.at/web66/product_detai...owDetail=103811 http://www.beatspace.com/dettagli/dettaglio.asp?id=2385 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaib Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 i've only listen once or twice at it from start to end, but i feel somewhat underwhelmed about this disc: it seems to feature a lot of macho-snares and wild breakz, but much less in the way of trippy noises and atmosphere one tune that stuck out so far was that of phatmatix, made me listen at it a couple of times in a row doesn't seem bad release, just a little unimaginative ps: i don't mind 160 bpm at all though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate enough to watch Highcosmos live at Fullmoon Festival 2005, and I have to say that was one very twisted set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they will NOT go well together… I am sure. , but anyways, 154, 160 bpm??? are we in rotterdam or what? Id rather anally impale myself with a rusty firehydrant while deepthroating a herpes-infected syphillic elephant cock that just finished buttfucking a diarrhetic rhino with hemorrhoids than listen to shit like this Oh god, how I love my constructive criticism...

I'd rather have a dirty Sanchez performed on me by a 800 pound black man with a 30cm cock while eating old encrusted sperm out of the vagina of a 4-week old water corpse. Catch my drift?

dmtree Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 i've only listen once or twice at it from start to end, but i feel somewhat underwhelmed about this disc: it seems to feature a lot of macho-snares and wild breakz, but much less in the way of trippy noises and atmosphere one tune that stuck out so far was that of phatmatix, made me listen at it a couple of times in a row doesn't seem bad release, just a little unimaginative ps: i don't mind 160 bpm at all though 402628[/snapback] agreed. This CD is more of the commercial dark psy full-on style, not very psychedelic to me at all. Phatmatix and Osom tracks are nice, though.

zaib Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 not sure if i'd call it commercial, more like "undeveloped", a lot of the tracks are focused at rhytms and they don't seem to be reaching their full potential - the osom track is one of the tracks that does do the trick but then again, i don't i've really made up my mind yet so i should just stfu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This CD is more of the commercial dark psy full-on style, not very psychedelic to me at all. Phatmatix and Osom tracks are nice, though. 406818[/snapback] I think I get what's being said here. People take the word "commercial" out of context all the time. There currently is this very "typical" sound going on in dark psy. It hasn't happened over night, it's been happening for some time now and I'm getting sick of sampling dark albums coz of it. Call it Full On, or lack of innovation, and being dark and very psychedelic, intelligent, etc. While this Lyserg Lesson album has several tracks that clearly stand out: 3, 4, 8, 9, 10. I don't care for the others. Many of them seem to fall into that more general "mainstream, take-no-risks" dark psy catagory that seems so popular right now. When it comes to dark psy, I want the real deal. Are the record labels lost? How hard is it to make a REALLY GOOD dark comp? Truly dark psy that's actually DARK with: Awesome atmosphere, samples, trippy, original, psychedelic, (several rollor coaster climaxes with exploding breakout greatness what follows) intelligent, imaginative, intense, wicked, risky, unpredictable, twisted, fun, and thrilling, crazy, dark psy with layers and LAYERS of catchy DARK melodies, and impressive, varied, smart, CATCHY and intricate basslines, mixing, and overall GREAT production values. Is that too much to ask? It's been done before, it seems it's such a difficult task to perform more than once in a full blue moon now days. The last dark album I got is Ghreg On Earth, (read my review posted recently) which is good, not anything excellent or amazing, but good. Two or three kickass or well done tracks on this comp isn't enough for me to spend $16.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I didn't notice then, but when I checked - sure enough! It's not a big problem - just wondering if anyone else has it or what...

Jeller Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 well my copy is a bit low... like 7 db's below the 90's mark... correctable problem... 417904[/snapback] don't have all tracks, but those i have are really good.. and 160bpm for psy is not too fast.. but 161 is lol.. i think that is really the maximum.. btw not just only the end is 160 on Be Cool.. and rotterdam = 180 at least going over 200.. slight difference huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
