Review:

 

this cd starts with a very good track from GMS And Raja Ram called 1200mics,

which are- Riktam And Bansi (aka GMS) and Raja-Ram (aka

.half. Shpongle). this track was already released on a vinyl ep few monthes

ago, and now it was released on a cd. great party track with some vocal

samples from the movie "The Matrix". it cant be better!. second track is from

Para Science called Boomerang. starts a bit chilly, then goes harder, and

harder. nice drumbeat and fat basslines, a lot of crazy, weird, fx samples on

the background which makes this track really full on energy. 3rd track is from

Trapiatrik called The Real Wrong. very nice track, very fun atmosphere in this

track, for me, maybe because the nice bassline heh. a lot of vocal samples

which turns to be fx's on the background, nice drums, cool melodies. nothing

else.4th track is an amazing track from GMS called -

Lumberjack, starts really nice with some fx's samples and a bassline, then,

booom, a sword flash sample and the beat is coming. after a while a crazy

melody comes, and the beat is going harder and harder every few mins. listen

to 5:06+, crazy!. 5th Track is from Total Eclipse, a new track, called 10

years of Trance. a beautiful track which is a bit chilly from all the tracks

before, but very good. a lot of nice, beautiful, quality melodies, and

basslines. i think this track combinates the psytrance scene from 10 years ago

up to now. 6th track is a remix by Absolum for Oforia's Raw track, well

remixed though Christof didnt left much from the original, except of the

bassline which only comes on 4:30 and goes up and up, and some fx's and the

great melody line from the original , a very twisted track, which was

already released on the Oforia - Raw Remixes vinyl ep. follows that, track #7,

from Logic Bomb (aka .half. Hux Flux), very weird and twisted track with lots

of background fx's sounds. starts with a light kickdrum which is really nice,

very funky and groovy drumbeat all along, quality track it is, which kick

ass!. 8th Track is from Bus called Swipe At The Big Blue, a pretty chilly and

beautiful track, nice drums, nothing else. 9th Track is from ManMadeMan called

Eat The Beat, a Typical Modern ManMadeMan Track which is very good!. nice

drums and fat bassline, very dreamy or maybe dark atmosphere in this track, i

cant choose, an amazing track!. Ending this cd a great remix from Shpongle

which is my favorite Chill out Track - Divine Moments of Truth, this remix is

diffrent from the one on Demented, i dont know why, in both compilation there

is the same track, but its diffrent. well, this one is better than the one in

Demented. really interesting how come its not the same track (Rmx), though

it is under the same name... anywayz, great ending track for this amazing

compilation which i think is one of the best this year!. seems like Tip.world

never disappointing me, until now, every compilation they released, kicked

ass!. keep up the good work!.

[Guest jonatanh[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Ok, I just listened to this compilation. I have to say it's pure quality (as

usual when it comes from TIP).

Maybe not as good as the Halluci-Nations compilation though.

The first track, GMS And Raja Ram (GMS And Raja Ram) : 1200 Mics, I heard

months ago. Avarage track but the intro is awesome (a kind of lame sample from

Matrix also used in the song).

I really like ALL the tracks, but the best tracks on this compilation must be:

Tripiatrik "The Real Wrong",

Logic Bomb "Herr Ubermann",

ManMadeMan "Eat the Beat" and

Shpongle's "Divine Moments Of Truth" (a very nice Rmx)...

Get this compilation _NOW_!

[Guest aphelion[at]chaoscontrol[dot]com]

an absolutely wicked comp!!! all tracks are really good but 1200 mics (love

those matrix samples), lumberjack and the remix of dmt are especially nice.

great packaging too! 9/10

[Guest psy[at]persogo.com[dot]br]

Cool album.. it´s good!

The best tracks on this album: Tripiatrik, "the real wrong" and GMS "lumberjack"

[Guest Dr Rhythm]

I like this better than Halluci-nations. Oforia and Para-Science are the best

tracks but it's all crucial stuff. 9/10

[Guest LaGoaTrance]

Very good compilation. Very good tracks are plenty : 1200 micrograms, GMS,

Total Eclipse, Oforia, Shpongle. Good tracks are Para Sence, Logic Bomb (this

track is great in live), ManMadeMan (better than usual i think). The only bad

track is Bus which is a boring empty track for me. Anyway, this is the better

compilation from year 2000, anyone agree ?

[Guest Tequila]

this comp' kicks ass!! the tracks 1&4 are fucking brillant and powerful, I like

the new GMS a lot:=)In fact, track 3 is also great (very powerful too) with a

nice kikc and an impressive bassline.In lumberjack you can hear some samples

from the game Diablo, that's quite funny...anyway, an excellent compilation,

representative of the new generation of psychadelic trance music.please TIP,

keep on editing such good releases!

[Guest Dead74]

A quality compilation from TIP World, and yes it's a full-on dance floor

stormer! I mean, it opens with "1200 mics," which is that GMS and Raja Ram

track with the Matrix sample. There are few monotonous tracks here and there,

but overall, I would like to praise the good tracks. The Tripiatrik track can

be a little boring at times, but that kick just sounds sooooo bad! I really

like the Total Eclipse track, and Oforia track is pretty good, too. I also

like the Shpongle track even though it's somewhat played out. And even though

it's played out, I just love GMS' "Lumberjack" sooo much. I mean, it's gotta

be one of the sickest tracks ever made. They just don't give a fuck!!!! I

love it. I wish TIP would put all their tracks on the vinyl, but I still give

them much respect for their taste and vision. a high 7.5/10 for this one.

But remember, the GMS track alone is worth buying this album for!

[Guest AlexG]

best one of tip's 'nations, and probably the best comp of the year. only

twisted "demented" and mdma "future navigators 2" can compare at this point.

the 1200mics track is wicked, a real party killer. gms, tripiatrik, oforia,

total eclipse, logic bomb: shit, they're all so great. 8 very nice relaxed

track, 2 is ok, and i don't like track 9 at all. but that dmt remix is so

incredible! play it at an outdoor (especially in the forest) in the morning

and be amazed: simon kicks ass again! 9/10

[Guest [Anonymous]]

It starts off with GMS 1200 Mics, a fucking AWESOME track, then goes into a

relatively blah track from Para Science. The Tripiatrik song is definitely

kickin, though it can get repetitive at times. Still, gotta love that kick,

the groovy bassline, and the cool fx. Track 4, another party killer from GMS

(yeah I know 1200 Mics and Lumberjack are played out, but they're sooooo

insane!). I definitely like the new GMS style better than the noisiness of the

Growly Family. Total Eclipse are next with a good solid track, nice melodies.

Track 6, the Absolum remix of Raw, has a meeeaan kick and that cool melody,

but its missing something. Track 7 has cool fx and the twisted craziness one

expects from Logic Bomb, but again something's missing. Track 8 is chill,

nothing special, in fact a little boring. The boredom continues with track 9,

a very monotonous track. However, relief is provided by Shpongle's DMT remix,

a FUCKING AWESOME song (so what if it's played out). Its a good comp,

favorite songs are 1, 4, 5, 10; the rest are OK to blah. Maybe I just have to

listen to this comp more and then I'll truly hear the rest of the songs, but

for now I must say that this comp is a little bit monotonous. Nevertheless, I

recommend it due to the high number of KILLER songs! 7/10

[Guest slinker]

Very good compilation...i like all tracks and theres quite a variety of musical

styles ranging from Manmademan to 1200 mics and through to Shpongle..the only

track i thought wasnt that great was the `Bus` track which is a little

monotonous to say the least.

my personal favs are `Para Sense-Boomerang` which has got the most killer bass

line and effects in it which just builds and builds..wow and the `DMT remix`

is absolutely what i was hoping for.My best compilation album yet!! 9.2/10

would have been 10 but for the `Bus` track.. =^,^=

[Guest Goa Spirit]

its awesome... i heard the 1200 mics in a party at goa over the millenium and

wen mad along with a thousand other people/. this album is loaded with

killers,, in my humble opinion the best of the naton series... highlights

include tripiatrik, 1200 mics, lumberjack, total eclipse, logic bomb...

9/10....

[Guest Ubik]

For sure the best in the "Nations" series, almost no filler. 1200 mics is

amazing, with a killer bassline and crazy acid lines, and it goes very fast.

Tripiatrik's track is very heavy with a hard kick and a fat bassline.

Lumberjack is one of the best song GMS has ever made, makes you want to jump a

lot TE and Oforia tracks are good, but nothing special, followed by another

killer by Logic Bomb with twisted sounds and cool fx. And the ending is great,

too, a faster remix for one of the best ambient song... 9.3/10

[Guest damoneves[at]hotmail[dot]com]

yeah wicked. nowadays pretty much everything gets boring after three or four

listens....not this.

And by the way it's para SENSE..paranoic sensations..best name in the business.

[Honguito]

I'll make a summary of this album, explained with two words: wicked and

wonderful! I simply love this compilation. Without any doubts, it's the best

one ever released by TIP, and maybe the best one ever released of any label.

Almost every track is amazing, but my opinion is that there are a few tracks

that go above the other ones: track 1, 2, 3, 4 and number 6. My advice to you:

Get out and buy it right now!

[Guest Acidhive]

Can't add anything that's been said before... This compilation rocks your ass

off!!! No really, it's one of those compilations that you immediately like.

TIP-World is indeed more progressive than TIP Records ever was. Well, what

more to say than: Buy the bloody thing! 8,5/10 here!!

[Guest taz_bletsas[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Is that compilation sucks ! Ok, the sounds are new, the bands

are quite famous, but each pattern in each track is not original. Nothing is

unexpected... I prefer 100 times distance to goa 4 or cybertrance 1...

[Guest goodgoa[at]mail[dot]com]

Logic Bomb's "Herr Ubermann" rules. One of the best tracks i've ever heard. GMS

is history, and Talamasca rules!!!!

[Guest [Anonymous]]

I really enjoyed tripiatrik's track on here,although most of the others rock

well enough. WHat I want to know is where can I find more stuff like this?

Tripiatrik uses some ripping, crackling sounds that make great textures, a bit

like skazi's own rough sounds. Can anyone recommend any other rough stuff like

this, I am tired of wading through boring crap.

[Guest [Anonymous]]

It's not Para Science, its called Parasence and boomerang its their best musik,

it just blow with everything

[Guest [Anonymous]]

The most banging album I've heard this year !!!!!!!!

[vision]

Well the second release of the TIP's so called "Nations" series is quite good.

Style of compilation is variable from night full on sound (GMS,Oforia) and

more technogenic sound by ManMadeMan & ParaSense) to more deep (Bus and

Shpongle). Some new tendenses for the year 2000 can be heard here and standart

material from Riktam And Bansi, Ofer Dikovsky & Logic Bomb. Total Eclipse - 10

Years Of Trance made a pleasant suprise for me, melodic and memorable track.

And finally this compilation it contains one of my all time favorites Shpogle

- Devine the Moment of Truth. Actually this mix was called "HalLucinogen

trance mix" on DMT EP released the same year on Simon's lable Twisted and it

is my favorite mix on this thing. So we have a solid compilation here. All

trax are listenable and danceable. Not a bad member of the Nation's series.
