Review:

 

Source Unknown is Nick Galatsopoulos, from Greece. This album is good when

you're in the mood to destroy something ;) Take Midi Miliz/Spirallianz and

3.Turn/Authentik, add a bit of Intact Instinct, Plattenfedermanometer style,

put the whole thing on steroids and there you have it : relentless attack of

massive killer bass with angry drum loops and a hard kick hammering all the

time ! Some slick sound effects and wandering little sounds add a nice

psychedelic touch to it as well, but some may say this sounds a lot closer to

techno than psytrance. There are enough variations and short breaks troughout

the tracks to keep them interesting, however the whole album is maybe a little

tough to ingest in one shot ;) Not much else to say, a track by track

description would be pointless (For now Technofused, Freaky Groove and

Breakdance are my fav, but this might change), so if you like the artists

above, or the already released Technofused and Blond Sexy Doped Babes, get

this you won't be disappointed. Warning : not for the faint-hearted ! 8.5/10

Hard, kickin' tech-trance for the middle of the night. Strictly for percussive

mayhem fans. The best tracks for me are #1 and #5, although the whole album is

good. 8/10

Very nice, psy scene needs more artists like this. songs 1-5 are just amazing,

killer. crazy minimal technoish tracks with that killing mood like midi

miliz/spirallianz, delta, authentik. 9/10

I heard it in the recordshop, heard it again and I think that all the songs are

the same or alsmost the same. Even for me this is to hard. I didn't bought it

because it's to "techno". If it was a single LP with only the best tracks on

it, I would have considered buying it. But now not, it's just not my cup of

tea.

I'm sure there are some quality tracks on it, but not for my set. So everyone

who reads this, listen to the album and make your own decision!!!!

"psychedelic rave" you should not dish anyones work so hard... on the other

hand try creating your own tunes and ignore the stuff you don't like. leave

music like this one for people who like it and understand it. peace

There are a couple of good tracks on here, the previously released Blond Sexy

Doped Babes/Technofused and the title track, but unfortunately, all the songs

have the same essential groove. For example, nearly all the percussive sounds

are syncopated between the 1st and 2nd and the 3rd and 4th beats of a measure.

Also, a lot of the sounds in different tracks are *way* too similar. This

seems to be an issue with so many minimal acts (e.g. XV Killist, Authentik);

is it really that hard to come up some different sounds!!! Argh... Though I

was expecting more after their first EP this is still a solid debut effort.

And goddamn, that AM Receiver track really kicks ass! 6/10 from me.

WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWW. great album from source unknow. i don't know why it took

me so long to bye this album. if you like minimal trance go and buy it now. if

your cup of tea is dark and hard this is for you. if you like wizzy noise then

this is just for you. source unkown are on the scene long before wizzy, so i

don't want to hear anything about copying, ok? all the tracks are great and

dancefloor oriented. it's great,it's fantastic, it's source unkown the name

says it all. i think greece deserves a piece from the pie of minimal trance

(wizzy noise, source unknown, magus,zma rec., acid dance rec.etc)do

you?11/10GREAT

I bought this because its so mean and powerful. I spin it everytime someone

says they know what hard tech-trance is, and after 10 mins. in this, they have

changed their minds.

to a higher state of consciousness!! Ra tam tam tam.....9/10
