Review:

 

Growling Mad Scientists have their own label called Spun Records. The first

release from this label was the GMS album GMS vs Systembusters (2000), then

the second release was the compilation Genetic Process released last year

(2001). Now the second part of Genetic Process is out, called Genetic Process

Part Dose. First out is a track you can also find on the Time & Space 2

compilation released on the Mexican label Maia Records. A track made by

Soundaholix, which is Celli Firmi (Earthling) and Paul Taylor. Really full on

GMS style madness all the way, or with other words a psychedelic circus! Track

2 is also a Soundaholix track. Another full on party track that has to be

played loud. Pretty melodic too, which make it much better than much else of

this full on kind. Wizzy Noise give us track 3. I think most of their tracks

are a bit boring, but here they give us a better track than usual. More

melodic and varied. Track 4 is the Talamasca track Speaking Robots in a GMS

remix. I don`t know if you can say the original is better, but this is not bad

at all! The typical melodic Talamasca style mixed with the typical full on GMS

madness. Track 5 is a collaboration between GMS (Riktam & Bansi) and Shanti.

Have you noticed that GMS rarely work alone? This is a very typical GMS track,

full on all the way with noisy sounds up and down. Not very melodic, just

nagging madness. After a few minutes we get some birds singing and a little

bit of melody, but apart from that, nothing new here. Track 6 is a Shanti

track. Very drifting and intense rhythms, with little melodies and sounds.

Track 7 is another GMS track together with a guy called Cyrus. This sounds

like something between a Zorba track and a GMS track. Full on, but with some

melodies that can sound a bit cheesy for some. Track 8 is a new one from Ofer

Dikovsky (Oforia) from Israel. Really heavy bass rhythms, and some floating

parts. Oforia is not at all what he used to be. After his album Delirious

(Dragonfly 1998), he has made so much worse music! The track he gives us here

is pretty boring. I was looking forward to hear the track made by the

interesting collaboration The Antidote & Cydonia (Serge Souque and Dino

Psaras). I must say it is a bit of a disappointment. It`s just boring and

sounds like a bad hard house track! The last track on this compilation is a

track by Shanti and two other guys. A good one, with a nice tempo and funky

sounds.

The second part of the Genetic Process series is not bad if you love the GMS

style. But those of you who are really tired by this style should stay away

from this one.
