DeathPosture Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 V/A - Anotherwise Artist: Various Title: Anotherwise Label: Baluns Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 09'29" KAB And Son Kite : Yetto Come ! 02. 07'27" Audibelle : Manoeuvres 03. 07'22" Gegga : Deep Down In 04. 07'55" Pope Of Gegga : Eff 05. 06'32" Aircrash : Time Traveller 06. 07'35" Trimatic : Ride The Rim 07. 07'24" Pope Of Gegga : First Go! 08. 07'14" H. Larsson : Barcode 09. 09'47" Trimatic : Kyoto 10. 07'58" New Age Hippies : @ The Speed Of Life Review: Ahhh! ;o) This is sooo nice! As you might know, I was absolutely HOOKED on the Baluns-compilation Otherwise released last year... I revitalized my whole faith in progressive trance... So naturally I was REALLY looking forward to this, Anotherwise, the cleverly-named follow-up to Otherwise... And let me just say, that I haven't been dissapointed! ;o) Up first is Yetto Come! [#1]: The delicious '01 vinyl release from the masters themselves - Son Kite Vs. KAB... Perfect starter which slowly builds into a deeeeep, progressive sensation... Nice! [#2] is the flipside from the Figure-EP... Smooth co-orperation between Norwegian Roland Lilfjell and Swede C.H. Hallén... This turns into a massive track! ;o) [#3] This track was first released more than 2 years ago, and now we have it again here... This track has really aged nicely and those funky percussions and strange noises fits the track! This is not a classic but Berglund & Brante sure knows how to program a funky track! It must be Deep Down In Funky Morningville! ;o) [#4] First track from Pope Of Gegga - the groove ambassador! Well, at least he has been in some of the other of his tracks which I've had the pleasure of listening to, especially "Filterpenna"... But, I haven't really gotten into this track yet... Hopefully I will after more listens... [#5] Ahhh... Much better now! This is from the newest Baluns 12" released in May... Excellent stomper... No boring intro or build-up, just pure, groovy, deep tech-trance. Best track so far! Highly recommended! ;o) [#6] another 'old' track from 2000... Trimatic is a Son Kite-alterego and it shows... Pulsating progressive trance here from the masters themselves! Great! ;o) [#7] Second track from the ambassador and this is much better than 'Eff'... I'm tempted to say Eff'ing better! [Hehe... Well, maybe not!]... [#8] Henrik Larsson from the techno-act Headroom is on his own here... What an awesome track... Huge track which combines techno and trance... complex and diverse bass-line here... Recommended! [#9] Woow! Starts slowly, but quickly builds into a smashing tune... As always with the Son Kite guys this is SOOO groovy and this track is simply just fantastic! ;o) [#10] Last track from NAH is another deeeeep, funky track and a perfect way to end this great compilation... This still haven't reached the level that Otherwise has in my cool-book, but I'm sure this will grow on me as time goes by... Also this is great way of getting a bunch of stuff only released on vinyl - I for one, only play CDz, so I like it when a compilation like this comes out! Recommended if you like quality tech-trance and deep, progressive trance... Final verdict: 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest any nominus Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 yay! more progressive trance! yaaaaaay. wheres my rat poison, im starving. could we got any more boring? when trance started to sound like techno (ie: midi miliz) people got a little pissed.... but there was some good to come of it. now its starting to sound like house! there still is some good to come of it, but look at how much total shit i have to go thru to find those few good tracks? god in heaven help us. im gonna go get a bunch of 17 year old girls and glowsticks for my next party, cuz thats what psytrance is turning into. total sellouts, thats what the new acts are proving to be..... they want to have their music market to rave djs too, cuz they cant make a penny in psytrance. well i have no problem making all your mp3s widely available! i lost a lot of respect for these artists, and i hope more people realize it before our sacred music has gone the way of the raver....... peace. il be praying.

Setsuko Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 sad words "any nominus" ... Anotherwise is for people that like things a bit more chill ... my favourites in here are 1,7,9 and 10 ... Baluns is imo the label that releases abstract psychedelic "tranchno" ;-) if you want drugged up chaotic full-on psy then don't waste your time in here with spreading negative energy ... if you like it , BUY IT !! like I did ...
