Review:

 

It starts with the Four Carry Nuts remix of Monsters which is just

so damn GOOD! One of my absolute favourites with Chi-A.D. It has so much

energy and it´s very very well produced. Sometimes it´s horror sometimes

very happy. Everything fits perfectly, can´t describe it with words =). Even

the guitar riffs fits, guess that those isn´t there on the original, do u

feel guilty Mister Schuldt???? =). Human Blue got another of his morning

tunes in "Envormental Boogie". Much tribal percussions and you can also find

some "friendly" acid influences in the end of the track. Maybe will fit in

the forest? The D.Fundation track is the only one that I can say that I

don´t like. Boring, boring, boring. nothing is happening and the kickdrum

sucks big time. There are always some people who likes a track but I can´t

really imagine that someone will like this one. Very technoish, gives me

nothing. The second Chi-A.D track on this comp. is "Waverider". A good

track, not as good as Monsters though, with a lot atmosphere and harmonic

melodies. Seems like he have changed style, it´s far away from his earlier

releases. Track 5 by Matenda is in the same style like Atmos, but the

quality isn´t as high as Atmos releases (feels like something is missing).

The Nerve track is pure music for the psychedelic horror nights =). Hard,

dark with a lot of horror effects and some dark/evil melodies whining in the

background to, good! Reminds me of some horror tracks from the Serial Killaz

comp. The track from Visionary is a morning track with happy/sunny

atmospheres and good melodies. Perfect after a hard night on the floor =)...

Only one thing that sucks with this track: The intro. Propably the worst one

I´ve heard this year, sounds very very much like an amateur goind loose on

ReBirth =). Rastaliens has a good stomper in "Magwa". Aggressive melodies on

top of a dark kickdrum and cool bassline. Haven´t really liked the other

releases from Rastaliens, but this one is good.

So in a whole this is a really good comp. from year 2000. One of the best

from that year in my opinion. Go get it!!! =)

This is a good compilation (like all Medium Comps), but i wanna point out that

Visionary " Glass" is right now my favourite melodic track, very well

produced, techno high hats along with a trance beat and beautiful soundscapes.

The break in the middle is sooooo cool and it gives you goosebumps without

getting cheesy. The rest is pretty cool, too ( Human Blue, D-Fundation,

Nerve). The Chi-Ad songs are not my thing, though.

Excellent compil from Medium here. My track listing is a whole lot different

though. I think the tracklist on the CD is put together more 'logical'.

Anyway, no bad tracks on this one. And the track from Visionary called Glass,

is such an extremely good piece of melodic psytrance..!!

Chi-a.d. track are great too. The 4CN Remix of Monsters is good, though the

original is better. (on the Neighbourhood comp. also by Medium) Only track

that sounds out of place here is Chicadilly Circus, it's a bit too harsh and

doesn't contain the 'warmth' of the other tracks. Still, not bad, but when Mr.

Funder combines with Mr. Schuldt to form Four Carry Nuts, the results are a

bit better ...!! Still, great compil here.

8,5/10 from me!

VERY good compilation....I have different tracklisting too and it more makes

sense than this one....This compilation has concept, great music, cover and

one not that good remix...Whole album is stunning except the Four Carry Nuts

Remix to Chi A.D. song...Rest completely sounds like an album compilation to

me....Best are : WAVERIDER, ENVIRONMENTAL BOOGIE, ROCKET, GLASS, MAGWA....9/10

Slick and classy kinda sums up this compl. The whole album has flow and there

are no weak tracks. One of my all time compilations , Thanks DJ Bim your

styling is unique within the scene.
