Review:

 

What to say when there is nothing to say but buy this marvellous album?

If you've seen the GMS in the past months, you should know all those

tracks.

Nearly all of them are true killers!

track 1: you take off immediately. this is twisted to hell, perfect.

track 2: you (mad people) thought Snorkel Blaster wasn't enough? You're

now rewarded, as this is the remix, probably written out of madness.

it's a total success and if you survive to this one you can probably

listen to the...

track 3: a very fastrack twisting on itself all the time. this is a

balance between what's soft and what's hard in GMS. Want more? ok now

you are faced with...

track 4: if you like to jump like a rabbit this is for you. This track

is dark And in the last minute you wonder wether the Systembusters want to

grab your life or not (!)

track 5: really not my favourite track... maybe the black sheep of the

album.. no spirit in this track.

track 6: another remix And another success. the only thing i could find to

criticize is that this track is written on the same model as track 3, so

they look a bit the same.

track 7: Slingshot is in fact a remix of the Caterpillar (see the Growly

Family tracklisting). The rythms have been reworked to trigger a better

effect on the dancer.

track 8: Here is the movie reference the Systembusters have composed and

put in this album this time. The track is based on the Imperial March

from Star Wars. Several themes And sounds of the movie have been included,

and the result sounds really good. I think this track will get old soon

but it managed to makes us laugh on the dancefloors (especially when

Riktam And Bansi fight with their lightsabers behind their synths).

track 9: a typical GMS/systembusters track, with many strange noises

over a fast And trippy rhythm.. not bad at all.

track 10: a track made up of metal (strange effect in your ears) &

plastic (the wobbling instruments) to allow you to calm down. It's

really wiser than the other tunes in this album...and always those GMS

sounds...

 

Globally this album is by far superior to the first two GMS albums.

That's a really good work that deserves 9/10.

[Guest AlexG]

my opinion: good album, but...it all sounds exactly the same. if you've heard

"lumberjack" (which was already released), then there won't be anything new

for you on this cd. they use exactly the same drums, bass, effects, and other

random sounds throughout the whole record, plus they use the same techniques

to arrange them. for me, it gets kinda boring listening to this whole,

although on the dancefloor any of these songs are killer. overall, a good

effort, but i think they could've done better. get it and hear for yourself:

even if not mindblowing, it's at least worth the money.

[Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com]

i couldnt stand the first two GMS albums, i thought they really sucked... but

this one is some good stuff reminds me a lot of hallucinogens first album,

its twisted, and has a lot of dark psy sounds but in the end is pretty

uplifting, it has good themes and melodies and is definately worth a buy

8.75/10

[Guest travis[at]bcell[dot]com]

Amazing album. For those who think it all sounds the same, do yourself a favor

and learn to REALLY LISTEN, you'll be rewarded greatly.

[Guest jsbedard]

REPETITIVE. Nothing to see with the qualtiy of the Hallucinogen album

production (Vystril). The tracks are all the same and their endings

are very bad and too fast faded out. Recommended only for true GMS-o-Freaks

because you've got to love the GMS style to listen to all the album without be

bored. There's no link between tracks like on the Hallucinogen or Infected

Mushroom albums and the melodies (especially in the star wars track) are very

bad. It's rapid easy stuff for rapid and easy peoples. 3/10

[Guest Nico_Steinacker[at]hotmail[dot]c]

I like this album a lot - but the 2 spoken samples in the star wars track are

really bad...

the rest is really good stuff not only for parties but also for a couch ;-) SIT

BACK AND ENJOY THE MUSIC! 8.5/10

Greetz to the Mystery World Team!

[Guest LaGoaTrance]

Yes ! I like it ! very powerfull album, the whole album is good..when you hear

that, you want to dance ! best track is "Lumberjack" but others are good too.

[Guest Ktaadn]

No doubt we've got some wicked tracks on here. They've definitely got the GMS

sound honed and finely tuned -- which is both good and bad. A bit more

exploration and experimentation would be welcome. Without some risks taken and

real innovation, even the classic GMS stomping sounds will soon fall flat. Oh,

and the Star Wars thing was a bit silly to me. Musically, the song's alright

but the samples from the movie...eh, guess we've all got our favorites and

it's just not one of mine. A good release anyway and one that keeps the

dancers and trancers content at a party...7.5/10

[max]

Good but really really repetitive.

 

If u got one you got'em all.

[Guest bauer[at]scheune[dot]net]

why the fuck they put the star wars track on this cd ? it sounds so cheezy .

the rest is mainly ok . -1/10 for the star wars track . 5/10 for the rest

[Guest goa_2000[at]mail[dot]ru]

I agree that Starwars suxx. Other tracks(especially the first one) really very

good and was make in a style of GMS.

8/10

[Guest AlexG]

i have to revise my opinion a bit. i still think all these track sound the same

(come on, travis, i know how to "really listen": they use exactly the same

techiques and sounds on every song!), but i now like this album very much.

it's rough, and even a bit rubbish, but at the same time it's so much fun! the

energy here is very high and they don't ever let go (except the last track

maybe). like a locomotive (or an energizer bunny), this music keeps going, and

going, and going, and going, and never stops! i also like their newly released

single "whiplash" (on t.i.p.) very much, and it also sounds exactly the same

as this album =). i used to hate "starwars" for it's incredible cheesiness,

but i now actually enjoy the track: i can laugh along with the cheesy parts,

but if you take those away, the rest of the song is actually very good. these

guys recently played at a festival here in northern california, and that was

the most fun i've ever had dancing: i never thought i could dance for so long

and not get tired, and almost not even sweat! there's just something about

their music that takes you on that higher level of energy, like a second (or

third?) breath. their music is also very professionally made, and the

production is one of the best around. yes, they only do one thing, but they do

it oh-so-well! 8/10

[Guest shantidruid[at]yahoo[dot]co[dot]]

Well, I tend to agree with the above-the tracks are good in isolation, but as a

whole album, a bit much. And really, there's not that much that is really NEW

here-I've already heard most of these tracks for a long time (two years?) at

parties and have half of them on DAT. Seen them live twice-once they rocked

(I received this information from an AAAAAAAlien!), once they seemed a bit

fiddly and bangy. Their albums aren't all the same-just this one and The

Growly Family. Chaos Laboratory is a masterpiece, but in those days they had

four people, and for me the best tracks were made by the two (Jakov and Sebi)

not there now. So, buy it if you like stomp, but if you're looking for a real

psychedelic intelligent effort, don't bother.

[Guest Goa Spirit]

This is definitely one of the better releases this year.. track 1, 2, 3 and 7

make this album worth buying.. especially slingshot (caterpillar remake, my

god what an improvement). An album filled with party killers... don't listen

to the criticisms and buy this with your eyes closed... 8/10.

[Guest 3001]

A DAMN FINE! album^_^, my favorite rite now, above twisted and lone

deranger...The tracks got good vibes... whoever says the sound the

same...hmmm...did u just start listening to trance? heheh, I think it just

requires a degree of appreciation...a different view on the sounds...well

doesn't require you to change, but if you appreciate trance like i do then

you'll like it...=)

[Guest ArchNemesis]

I bought this album and i liked from day 1. I was just gone in this music. But

then i was at a concert in Denmark where Deedrah played, and they played

Arabian Nights On Mescaline and that was it. I totally was hooked to this

album. Its a power-booster from track 1 to track 10. No doubt. I give it 9/10.

nuff said!

[Guest Roopak]

It's true that the trax often sound similar to one another but there aren't

many other than the Growlers who can pull off a masterpiece album with a

repititive formula. The holistic result is a psy-masterpiece...

MAD PROPS to Riktam & Bansi...Keep twisting those knobs: 9/10

[Guest Devil]

The Best: 9/10

[Anoebis]

I really like this album!! GMS changed their style really hard since their last

album, this sound much more professional!! Good points about this album... It

makes people crazy!! On the dancefloor and also at home... Also cool is the

fact that there are still many melodies, but mostly very disorted and

"scratched"!!!

Bad points are that most of the songs sound the same and they always use the

same bassline...

Anyway, I would give it an 8/10!! Best songs are 1,3,4,6&9!! Bom Shankar

[Guest ZARAKNON]

I don't know what's the matter with all tracks sounding the same,

1. it does definately NOT sound all the same, each track has its own

typical sound patterns, and 2. What's wrong if it sounds the same

and that "same" style is so freakin' good!!?? This is an album,

people, that means the tracks have to FIT TOGETHER in some way.

And that works perfectly in this one because G.M.S. got that drive, that pushing

energy that rocks till the end & it will never get

boring, not until the the very last second. The first track, Arabian

Knights On Mescaline, is one of the best in here, it has awesome

melodies and was coproduced by Amit Duvdevani, that's why it sounds a

little bit infected! The bad point is that it's too short in my

opinion, 6 1/2 minutes are simply not enough for this. Anyway, I give

a 10/10 to this. Next one, Snorkel Blaster Rmx just keeps it going, need I say more? 9/10.

Over to Bugslife, quite fast and with these so wicked twisted noises, it could really

be a soundtrack to the movie "Bugs Life", but with loads of evil little

bugs crawling into your head. That tickles your brain so that you

can't sit still, 9.5/10. Then comes Square Wave, a track with a

bassline like in Green Nuns' 'Conflict', but I don't like it that much

because it sounds a bit too simple imo. However it deserves 8/10 just

for ass-kicking. Boiled Gravy is a little deeper and another cool

track with a quite funky bassline. Who said this is a black sheep, heh?

It's a good track, 8.75/10. Next is Lumberjack Rmx, I think it's almost

identical with the original, which I heard on Philosomatika, but i

can't really remember. The track is very good, typical G.M.S. madness,

I love that certain metallic melody in it that makes me think of a

chainsaw. Fantastic, 9.75/10. Now it's time for Slingshot,

the roughest track here, WOOOW, it's so wicked!!! When I said this

album rocks, I meant especially Slingshot,

because it totally ROXX!!! It's the ultimate Killer for me and the best thing:

it has got the RIGHT LENGTH to enjoy it maximally. 10/10! The

Starwars track isn't cheesy at all, it's just amazing and, yeah, I

would like to see Riktam & Bansi with the lightsabers too. 9.5/10.

In the following track, Digital Self, there's nothing really special

for me except that it contains some distorted race car sounds, cool

but not awesome, 8/10. Last track, Joke's On You, is a little slower

and also a very good piece of work, 9/10. What this album lacks are the

breaks, and that's GREAT because without breaks you have that straight-

on-drive, that makes it the ultimate wicked party album, and I give it

....er....well, what's in there I can complain about? - Nothing!

So it must be a 10/10.

[Guest Psymushroom[at]goatrance[dot]com]

Amazing album. G.M.S. are predictable, but always satisfy our needs...

[Guest £-P§ycho Active Maelstrom h]

There's no escape from this one...phat phat phat!!...8-) This killer Album has

all things from goa and psychedelic sounds to hard breakbeats plaved on the

pumping and thriller-pounding trance-BassDrum. This combined with some goa

edge the bass makes this album a floor killer, don't try this at home kids

!!!! { Old school meets new school with a sound unlike any other). Be sure to

buy this !!!!!

but also i thinx my music its better

hey u... me ? yes u , try this one !!!!

[Guest Sun-Wizard]

GMS ARE ONE OF MY FOVOURITES BUT I DONT LIKE THIS ALBUM

LIKE THE GROWLY FAMILY EXCEPT ARABIAN KNIGHT AND SNORKEL BLASTER THIS ALBUM IS

6/10

[freak51]

Maybe it's not Art, but the record is like taking an adrenaline gun, pointing

the trigger down your throat and screwing the power input into a G-type star.

Excellent fun, rocks hard with a minimum of cute diversions. That Star Wars

track excepted, it's pus. It's got to be a parody, maybe?

[Guest theone666[at]sol[dot]dk]

Starwars track is ok ..and a litthle ...bit good track 1 ...the rest ise crap
