Review:

 

A new compilation from ZMA of psyprogressive tunes with feel, psychedelia,

subtle melodies and after the sunrise overall atmosphere. Shaman gives us

again a perfect opener with Fill n' Thrills, a mellow relaxed yet moving piece

full of psychedelic and emotional sounds. I dub Shaman as the official perfect

opener of good morning sets! Trioptimum continue, nice one, but I don't like

the production and overall sound. Sun Control Species with a great Faith in

Chaos (T3)- excellent moving psyprogressive tune for the morning moments.

Tegma follow with percussion mayhem, great hypnotic tune that continues the

feel in more intense and melodic direction. The Mantik track I really don't

like, much to develop here. The second Sun Control Species tracks here is just

as good as the first- two excellent tracks by Andrew Davidson here, which

leaves me eager to listen to his upcoming album expected through ZMA. One Size

Fits All (T6) is just a deep morning tune surrounding you with psychedelic

atmosphere and a capturing rhythm that'll send you galloping around the

dancefloor. Sensient is a promising upcoming talent from Oz that already

captured my ear before, Off World (T7) is another grabbing psychedelic morning

tune with an irresistible groove and an overall mysterious yet happy feel to

it, opening in the end with a nice floating melody. Beautiful. Mockie takes it

down a bit with the percussive tribal All Moments, nice hypnotic moving piece.

Neogen takes the surprise of the CD spot with a beautiful open airy track that

really touches me. Nothing life his previous release and here's definitely an

artist to watch in the future.

 

Bottom line: A fine piece of plastic with beautiful musical morning moments and

a strong together feel to it. Favorites: 1, 3(!), 4, 6(!), 7, 8.

nice review Shahar ... I think this release is one of the best ZMA releases

(together with Morphem - Monitoring) Session 1 is a mixture of different

grooves and sounds , in a progressive way orcourse ... stand out track was Sun

Control Spieces - Faith In Chaos .. heared it at a party and it totally

overwhelmed me , what a stomper .. my favourite tracks are 1,3!,4,7 and 8 .

design is pretty unique to .this compilation is a nice and innovative concept

.. I give it 8,5/10
