Review:

 

Ahh!

This project is actually Frederic Holysewski Aka. Deedrah/Transwave.

It´s a nice mixture of stiles, there are some full-on trax here aswell as there

are some nice ambient trax to! I think this is a killer! Real nice! Well done

Dado! Favorite trax: 1,5&6 But they are all great in there ways! (Overall:

9/10)

Peace!

New refreshing psy sounds with nice vibrating melodies ...first track (by far

my fav) is tribal sounding with some killer stomper lines...

 

I think over all the best way to describe most of this album is....it's like

what psytrance house music would sound like if there was such a genre....

(no fluffy deedrah stuff here though) the later part of the cd transitions into

a darker sort of experience. Which helps with the slowness of some of the

earlier track....definitley some tunes worth busting out with to get some

people moving....

7/10 for the tracks and there overall content

5/10 for the overall production

....my one complaint....

Production seems a little muddy when compared/mixed into other tracks :(

which is a little baffling because it comes from such a great producer, maybe

this one went up the nose-possibley to please a crowd of the same???...opps

did I say that outloud?

a very experimental album.... good vibration in all trax... but in few trax I

felt a bit of repetitive a previsible sounds... but in the context the abum is

very good! Special listen to Africa the best one...

...7/9!

The first four tracks are good kinda progressive, and in the expected Synthetic

style. I cannot find any fault in these tracks. Number 5 is an excellent

chill track, but not very long. Not too keen on 6 & 7, too

experimental/breakbeat/dnb, but that's just personal taste. The Time Bandits

is my favourite song on this album. Brilliant bass and sounds. It's kinda

tech trance, but with great percussion, and some good melodies here and there.

Songs 9 & 10 are good, but nothing new here, and 11 & 12 are good songs to

end off this diverse album. All in all, a good album, worth your money.

Excellent for home listening due to all the different styles of music here and

there.

Synthetic is the harder and more experimental side of Deedrah. Don't expect

100% pure/Metal Gear here, but still Synthetic IMO 8/10

Well, I must add mu 2 cents. After listening to this alb' I have the feeling I

miss something... Dunno... well, the tracks are built well, but I have the

feeling that Dado couldn't make up his mind whether to do a psytrance or a

downtempo album - the whole thing is a mixture of different styles. Glad to

here some ambiental stuff from Synthetic (he should do it more often than

that...). Still I'm very happy that it didn't turn out to be another boring,

crappy (sorry for that, but I had to;]) and unintelligent "Metal Gear / Cosmos

99" kinda stuff, and I ended up with a nice portion of music from Synthetic.

Ok, about the tracks: 1. Africa - clear production, good soundscapes at the

beggining, all rounded up into a real massacre in an african drummy mood -

this one should really move the crowd wild on the dancefloor. Second track -

Gotcha - a killer track, starts from a chilly atmospere and bangs with some

Twisted-flavoured stuff. Really nice indeed, more tracks like that one please!

3rd and 4th track - again some dancefloor high pitched and a bit pomping

material.... "Seeing Out The Angel" - when I first heard that piano I was

astonished. I must admit that this is one of the best tunes from Synthetic so

far. "Reprezent", "Absynthetic","The Time Bandits(VITD Edit)" - back to the

dancefloor again, what else to say. "Patch" - no comment on that, just don't

like it, that's all. "Pulp" - hmmm, again a bit of experimenting behind those

synth' and stuff, but I think putting this on the album was a bit of mistake.

And finally "Duplo" - what a fantastic (rather downtempo) track. Synthetic

generates a brilliant atmosphere here. And I must say that some of the samples

here remind me of a classic by Juno Reactor - High Energy Protons (choires to

be exact...). "Final Fantasy" - the name of the last track says it all... My

favourites here must be "Seeing Out The Angel" , "Duplo" and "Gotcha (oh my

God, what a crazy track...)", but there is a lot more of good stuff on this

CD. Well, I expected sth' a bit more different, yet this is a solid album with

potential.

This c.d is simply genius!

I?ve been looking for something like that. At times progressive, at times full

on (good full on).

Very interesting and diverse sounds.

Can?t stop listening to it!!!

Weird and strange psychedelic album...Frederick surprises non stop...I actually

mostly liked him in Transwave project and he should stayed in that way cause

he is experimenting too much...His best skills are in the end melodies but

this album is pretty good. Best on album : GOTCHA, ICY, SEEING OUT AN ANGEL,

ABSYNTHETIC ( ! ), PULP....7.5/10
