Shamane : Maniac Review: I don't know why, but somehow the name "Intelligence" and the mandala on the cover made me think that this had something to do with oldschool. Well, it doesn't. It's minimal all the way, like I guess one should expect from Shiva Space records... And since I'm not a big minimal fan, I won't start criticizing this and ruin it for minimal fans. That said, there are a few tracks here that I actually like when I'm my "minimal mood": track 2 which is "morningish"; it has a nice atmosphere to it. Track 8, Artificial Intelligence is IMO the best recent minimal release around 5:45 you have these awesome swirling sounds which are really crazy!! And track 9 isn't bad either, it has a "spiritual" feeling to it, probably because they use a very known flute sample which you usually get in movies on native americans and/ or buddhism (you'll know what I'm talking about when you here the track). So with 3 tracks I like I guess this makes one of the best minimal compils I have :-)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
