Review:

 

This is a great compilation combining old school tracks with progressive

trance(minimal tracks, that is). Most of these(if not all) are found on

albums so if you have a lot of albums from the nineties, you have these

tracks...The first track is a good example of older British psy-trance

sound but is not really exceptional in any way, still a very good track.

Jupiter 8000 is Boris Blenn and Daniel Vernunft and their track is a groovy

minimalistic one, but it's not the new psy-techno sound though, it doesn't

have that huge bass or anything. It has actually quite an original

atmosphere. 3rd track is a trippy one that concentrates on metallic and

alien sounds that really work. The name Bug fits very well. Horrorgram is

very well-known so I don't need to comment on it...Green Nuns track is

their usual sound, high pitched synth lines with original bass drum sound

and of course the acid lines eventually come in too. A steady track that

doesn't let you down and even has some very creative breaks. Shakta's track

is great too. Sweeping acid lines, scifi-melodies and very crunchy sounds

with the great vocal sample of the title. The beat is what I'd call very

typical of Shakta. Track 7 is not that typical Chi-A.D. sound but

nonetheless, I love it, tribal atmosphere and very heavy percussions and

technoish and industrial sounds combined with psy-trance sounds. I love

that female vocal. A true masterpiece! Atmos track is very hypnotic and

intelligent with really no melodies until 5 minutes. But after the long

wait the melodies sound really good and it's a very carefully composed

track indeed, it manages to surprise you again in the end. The S.U.N.

Project track is very dark at first(but changes a little in the middle)

with huge bass and driving bassline. A true stomper with great beat and

lots of interesting sounds. So this compilation is definitely worth the

money if you don't have these tracks elsewhere.

: 1,2,4,5,6,7,9...but still, they could have put some other classics...

I shouldn't normally have bought this compilation but the fact is i found in

second hand. So mid price comp in second hand means very cheap investment for

quite good old goa but not classics stuffs (it's a bit exagerated) for me.

best moments come from tracks 1,3,4,5,9.

Advice:if you find in second hand like me ,don't hesitate ,go buy it.

Oh boy.  3rd in a series?  Usually spells doom.  However...

 

Loved the Bug.  Loved it.  Smooth and sinister. 

 

That gradual time signature change in Horrorgram is pretty slick as well. 

 

Conflict by the Nuns is a stormer and The Future is Now by Shakta is one that demands movement.

 

Like a lot of people I used to hate Pathfinder, but now I find it so interesting.  Having more in common with Cydonia /Elysium than Etnica and Dimension 5 this tribal stomp is hypnotic especially when the vocal arrives.  It just keeps churning.

 

Not bad for the last entry in a trilogy.
