Review:

 

Here we go again.. a 2CD great release from Hommega...

First CD

1st track by domestic and astrix...this has some really nice melodies with a

nice dance groove...Second one is by Future Prophecy...repatitive groove with

some small melodies....Third track is by Freeze...It has some nice samples of

some wierd voice..very stacato/pitchy melodies...some nice breaks...i was very

impressed by this one.. it is a happy track! Fourth track is another one by

Future Prophecy called Summer of 1999.. This one I didnt like to much...but

thats just my opinion...kinda boring..it has some melodies... but its not

progressing into something better...Fifth track is a Yahel And I-Zen track...

Im sorry guys for this... but I didnt like this track one bit.. it has some

voice samples.. but it didnt do anything for me..Sixth track is by

Sleeper...this one is kinda groovy... the bassline and the drums go well..

with some melodies that have delays on them..and some sweeps going into

something muffled..and hihats kick in...It breaks suddenly into this diffrent

feel...an!

d suddenly goes into half tempo... and comes back strong... nice one! Seventh

track is by Infected .. its the Merlin (global cut mix).. very similar to the

one on Tsunami...Eight one is by Martinez Bros vs DJ Robert...this one I didnt

like at all..This one is too cheezy for me.. didnt like it.. key changes too

much in key.. and it sounds like a remix of a pop track " Take My Love" !

Ninth track is another Future Prophecy track...This track breaks into this

melody for a long time... and gets back into the groove...! Tenth track is

another Freeze track...I must say .. I never heard of the group freeze.. but I

am impressed in the work they did...Nice melodies... nice thought...

The eleventh track is a Power Source track..I like this one.. this has some

really nice melodies towards the end of the track..and closing the first cd

with track Twelve by Asura...very melodic and it has a very nice break with

some guy singing some religious chants... altogether this CD has a couple of

nice ones.. but they are not too much goa/psy.. they have a lot of melodies..

and some of them sound a little clubby

 

The Second CD..

the 2nd track Green House Effect - State Of Mind... nice morning track... after

the sun has risen.. great melodies...the 5th track by Trivia is nice compared

to the other stuff I have heard of Trivia... it has some wierd melodies...

which makes it kinda nice... melodies that are pitched and going in these

wierd directions with a stompy bassline and kickdrum...a nice break is also

present in this track.!

the Sixth track is by Xerox..its a very short one.. mixed into a track from

Emuna.. I didnt like these ones..The Xerox And Duvdev track is a killer...it

has this very nice sample.. "No Human being has every experienced".. basically

Disc 2 has some songs which are also on disc one... It has some nice tracks

but some of them are too clubby and not too much my style since I am more into

the evil/dark sound..on the whole i would give this compilation 7.5/10

You know, everybody seems to forget that HOMmega is an ISRAELI trance label and

that they are sometimes trying to make products that "Expose" them to their

local surroundings and not just worldwide. Israel is a place where sometimes

it's very hard for people to feel "uplifted". That?s where the music comes in!

It says on the cover that it?s CLUB TRAX, so why are you surprised? our main

goal is High Quality Israeli Psy Trance but along the way of releasing very

good PSYCHEDELIC music, We try to release a variety of softer, more friendly

music which draws new people to the scene by accessing them to our set of

sounds, our story telling BUT minus the psychedelia! What happens later is

like with so many of you(me included)... your system is ?overloaded with joy"

and you move on to the Intelligent, "On The Move" music dictated by leading

DJ's And record companies. I respect evolution; I played all around the globe

and my set as a DJ is always high quality! BUT one of my major concerns as a

trance label manager is to always draw new people to our scene as it is the

smallest movement and is in constant fight with the main stream music that

collects new people every day. You can call it "Commercialism"

but we prefer to think that we keep the trance music accessible And alive!!!

 

Sincerely Yours,

DJ Eyal Yankovich,

HOMmega Productions.

"Accessibility" is never a way to follow in music development. It always lead

to comercialism, simplification and cheezification of music. The trance is

going really BAD this times, if you compare them to the 97-98 years...All

stuff is minimal, too smiple and repetitive. Artists seems to have stop

progress and start regress. What's the fucking problem ? AREN'T YOU

PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE ARTIST OR FUCKIN MINIMAL TECHNO bastards 12345±£@¢¤!/$%

damn help me

Eyal, you can call it what you want and look for different ways to describe it,

but you, me and many others know what this compilation is...it's commercial

trance. It's bizarre to see so many quality psy-trance acts around willing to

take part in a project like this!

Each to his own (i guess), my comment's = if you like quality psy-trance, stay

waway from this! 2/10

this comp is really not so bad with some good track but its not so full with

energy and the good psy and hard trance, infected mushroom one of my favorite

artist with a crappy track sound like house and not so good but i'm sure they

will will improve and the next released track will be a good one 6.5/10

I listened to it from start to end in the store and decided not to buy it

because its not what I like. Don't come around bitching because it's

clubtrance. For Christ's sake the name of the comp is "Clubber". What did you

expect? This release does not affect the fact that Hommega has released a lot

of good compilations over the years and that Eyal is one hell of a kickass DJ.

As for the artists, as in anything, a little variety is fun from time to time.

I understand them full well for taking part in this project. So it's

clubtrance. You don't like, don't buy it. It has never been marketed for

anything else than what it is.

In my own opinion, i you REALLY look for kicking-ass psy-trance, psychedelic

pure energy, look for stuff on 3D Vision french label. It's the only label

that kick ass presently!

Frankly, I enjoyed the 2nd CD a whole lot. DJ Eyal needs to have a pat on the

back for such cohesive beat matched set. The thing here is that none of the

tracks overstay their welcome, so by transitioning to another track you would

feel as if the music has taken another shade of emotion. I would agree it's

not psy trance, but it does not claim to be. Read the cover, it says club and

Deep Trance. No psy, just quality melodic and most importantly emotional

trance that a lot better than the crappy european trance thats out there. Also

a whole lot better than those boring, monotonous, unemotional minimal trance

thats being touted as Psy Trance. I would take this over that anytime and I

like good dark Psy Trance. 10/10 for the mix CD, 7/10 for the 1st CD.

I don't know why Hommega thinks that this will raise their accesiblitiy to the

crowd... When you take PsyTrance artits and make then produce ClubTrance trax,

the result is poor for bouth sides (take AP's "Burning up" track for example).

I was really disappointed by the Infected and I-Zen trax, i expected more. All

and all, expect for the first track, which is very good clubtrance, there's

nothing here for the Psytrance lover.

The first, the 6th and the last tracks are the best in this compilation, which

doesn't know where to go: Ministry of Sound releases' touch or commercial

Psytrance?

The first opus try to reproduct the sound and the Spirit of Ferry Corsten, with

no success, but not so bad. And the last one aims at reaching the spirit of

melodic and melancolic israeli Trance products , and reach to, I feel. All the

other Tracks, execept Sleepers are bad House-FM, a really sucking copy of what

the English do well, by example.

But, I think Hommega tried to get accessible the Trance Music, and has to be

sustain and help for that.

 

Good vibes Hommega, ear you soon for a better Clubber 2!

My opinion is that most people who wrote in saying things like "fucking shit

psy" and "cheezy crap" want their heads cutting off. music scenes dont

progress with dickheads like you, with your shitty puritan attitudes and

up-own-arse comments. idiots like you almost killed british clubbing and

seriously fucked up the whole trance thing. just shut up and enjoy something a

bit different. After all only a total twat buys the same album 100 times

I do hope that all these guys win lots of money, not only because they deserve

but also because if so, maybe they can actualise his Equipment, maybe they can

getting more Inspiration (for seing is work recognized) and maybe they can

make even better "Material" (it will be hard:) Unfortunately, i'm not able to

describe the Style or the Tunes so i don't know if "Clubber" was made by Psy

Artists or not...!...Anyway, what i can say, as a listener, is that it was

made by GREAT ARTISTS !!! Any Doubts ?!? Take a look to the Line Up,

please...!!!...About cd 1, all tracks are EXCELLENT but my favourites are:

1,3,4,6,7 (also integreted on "In my Brain" Compilation) and the FANTASTIC 12

(a magistral finish by Asura) !!! On Cd 2, prevails the feeling that it was

"mixed" by a "Master's Hand", but i don't know from WHO :) Since i first

"Contact - Clubber", i'm waiting for the 2nd Episode...!...KEEP ON !!!

I like this compilation a lot, in fact it's one of my alltime favourites... The

style is very soft, i would call this good morning trance, maybe even

clubtrance. But hey, it's called Clubber so what else did you expect!? Anyway,

there is no track on it i dislike like but my absolute favourites are Pure

Energy from Domestic and Asterix, Ministering Angels from Yahel and IZen,

Merlin from IM and best of the best Future Prophecy with Viva. One melody of

this track sounds like the one from Indra remix also from Future Prophecy,

what a killer!! Second CD mixed by Eyal is also good. A lot of tracks are the

same as on the first CD but the mixing is really great so I don't mind. If

Hommega brings out a second chapter of Clubber, in the same style, I'll sure

buy it without any hesitation!!
