Review:

 

The mixes are pretty good. Some tracks are annoying like CD2-08-Al Dente; I

don't understand the compulsion some artists to have to create such repetative

sounds that aren't appeasing and border on tediously nasty [so what's to like

about it then??]. The tracks are not that high energy, but on the whole, this

is an enjoyable listen. All tracks are somewhat minimal, with the occasional

build, but nothing stands out here for me. IMHO, there are better

compilations released recently. Perhaps this will be someone else's cup of

tea.

on the whole, the first CD is good, the 2nd is bad (that's my opinion :-)) I

really like the X dream track, which offers a huge minimal piece, with this

incredible atmosphere! The Tim Schuldt track is good, basic though (Heavy

Basslines + guitars). People who don't like guitar tracks would hate

this...(like for example the friend who have lent me this compilation :-))...

I usually don't like Electric universe, but i have to admit that Exciter is a

good work...and the GMS track is good too __ final rating : 5/10 cause the 2nd

cd is boring...
