Mr Peculiar - Elements

[Guest hoffy[at]partlycloudy[dot]com]

Going by the reviews on this page, the sets i've seen from Mr. P, and the

general reaction he recieves from the Psy Trance scene... i'd say that

Hallucinogen and Infected Mushroom are going to have some *serious*

competition really really soon....

 

PS The album, if you haven't figured it out yet, is FUCKING AWESOME.

[Guest Lifeform]

This cd kicks some serious ass. It's good to hear some good GOA still being

released. Keep it real'

[Guest groucho]

i would not put mr peculiar in the same sentence as infected and

hallucinigen

ESTE ES UN BUEN ALBUM PERO COMO QUE LE FALTA UN TOQUE MAS

ACEITOSO Y POR LO TANTO LE PONGO 7/10

THE MEXICAN PSYCHEDELIC IS GOOD.....FUCKING PSYCHO

[Guest Coombsey, cummas[at]telstra[dot]

Congratulations dusty! Am yet to hear this album as it was released after i

left australia for the next year, but to all you psy lovers out there, i can

very strongly recommend that you go out and purchase this album.

 

Mr. Peculiar has been destroying the dancefloor all over the australian

landscape for the past few years. As the talent in australia is not on a par

with the rest of the world, sure it is out there but the sheer volume of music

coming out of other regions of the world can make australia seem like we are

out of the link, Mr P has had to rescue some parties from the depths and he

has never failed to deliver.

 

His style is very individual, with great use of effects intertwined with killer

basslines and elements of percussion. But the outstanding element of Mr P's

work is his production - on a par with anything i have heard from all over the

world. He has been working very hard on that aspect and im sure you will be

impressed when you hear the superb sounds coming out of the tribeadelic lair.

 

Once again...thanks Mr P for delivering what will no doubt be one of the debut

albums of the year, if not ever. Special thanks to Ozzy too for bringing us

this music. With Mr P, Ozzy and Fractal Glider at the forefront of Melbourne

and Australia's psy scene, the future looks extremely bright for australian

psychadelia.

 

Congrats!

finish?. Can?t wait to see what his tracks & albums will be like in two or

three years?.i know a lot of people will think I am just being bias as I am

Australian but this is one of the best debut albums I have heard in along time

and very fussy in my tastes in tracks and albums?.do yourself a favour and buy

this album now?.no don?t go back to the forum and see what?s going on, head on

down to the local shop?. Thanks for the inspiration mr.p amd thankyou ozzy

for releasing this homegrown talent?.

the cd sounds ok .. heard it all before, mr peculiars sets never really blow me

away .. charlies trip wasnt a bad track on the liquid cd but even that after

sometime annoyed me. Aussie psy apart from anything psy harmonics does seems

to borrow alot from current or old trends and never really sounds original.

all the music is good , dont get me wrong, but aussie artists dont generally

push psy boundaries. their happy to sit on the fence make similar music with a

slight twist and let others do the boundary moving nnd then they something

different. Mr peculiar beats spacetribe & sugar (what cd on this websites

doesnt shit all over sugar's work?) but no where enjoyable or refreshing as

anything psyharmonics put out. This cd is up there with fractal gliders new cd

... (altho i'd rate fractal as better psy producer cuz his sets r way better n

interesting that peculiars sets) over 6.5/10 not bad, but borrows to much of

artists like infected/gms that ppl r already slowly getting sick of. buy it if

yer happy to stay where you r in psy.

[Guest Captain Chapora]

jigga, you may call charlies trip his best track, but i think that is where all

the people who reviewed this album disagree with you.. this album leaves

charlies trip far behind in some indoors location, this album is for the

outdoors and oh my is it psychedelic.... mr. peculiar has blow me away like no

other new artist has in a long time... this guy is very good, somewhat like a

space tribe, but with more intelligently constructed music... the aussies have

stormed back into the scene this year, first it was fractal glider and now mr.

peculiar, this is the kind of trance that people like me like to hear.,,, keep

on those orange flash sounds australia,,, mr. peculiar is a mental eye candy

album, i can only imagine what this would sound like on hoffies...

[Guest FelipeLemosBrasil]

Very good surprise for me...all the tracks rules, it reminds me the Logic Bomb

first album... Love 1000 Tablets. 9/10

[Guest jigga]

Captain Chapora, where do I say charlies trip is mr peculiars best track? I

said it wasnt a bad track .. its actually pretty good .. but I've heard it

sooo many times. read ppls posts b4 you quote them. anyway your opnion is as

valid as mine.

[Guest Monkey]

my friend got a cdr copy of this from me, he had never heard trance before. now

he wants more. he is a high school history teacher in massachusetts, and just

told me that they now listen to mr peculiar while working on projects in

class. in a public high school! the students claim that they feel like it

helps them think more efficiently. nice work mister.

[Guest Digital Brain]

Mr. Pecuiliar is a realy nice refreshment.

Lots of interesting sounds but why the same new school bass lines. I realise

that that is "in" but do you have to be so like the others. The melodies are

kinda nice though. Allround, a good album. Keep up the peculiar work. Best

track no6. 7.5/10
