Guest andrew till Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 some ppl think eating dog shit is fun too , but I wouldnt. so I guess this cd is not for me right? WRONG! psy harmonics r so original when it comes to their music that it makes the likes of Iboga and plastic, who think their progressing the genre, look like the trendy hacks they are. this is what the word 'psychadellic' stands for, not music made to sound good cuz it thumps well on a speaker. if you call your self a psy trancer you owe it to your self to spend you hard earned or borrowed from parents money on it.

hujaboy Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 this cd is one of the best ever released! it is part of my psychedelic education as an artists. Go get it now. Visitors and psyko disco RULES!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ollie olsen Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 ... Tiny Little Engines, that track.. fwoar... that is psychedelic madness to the absolute extreme . The speculator track is actually a remix, Insurge are an industrial/political band, a really bad one at that but this remix (done by Ollie Olsen i think) is really quite good. An awesome cd, worth the price for the visitors and psyko disko alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahar@isratrance Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 hehe, where did you dig that one from. I remember that my first impression when I got it when it was released was: trance party in an arcade. Funny stuff. Great cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Dave Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 SHANGO! SHANGO!! SHANGO!!! I said it before and I say it again, its possibly one of the best night tracks ever, definitely on my top 3. It kicks so much ass its incredible, and its funky and groovy too and has that really ripping sound that makes my spine crawl and it starts an itch that can only be cured by dancing, flying, screaming!!! This compilation is a classic, it contains what psytrance was all about back in the days when psytrance was psychedelic (!), interesting, innovative, wonderful, magic, entrancing, mindboggling, sexy, disgusting, amazing, trippy, fun, disturbing, chaotic, beautiful, cool, for real, not for real, well it was about everything and nothing in spiral forever and beyond. This cant be compared to the stuff released today, its such a groundbreaker, hell its like the moonlanding compared to flying to Crete on a chartered flight. Massive respect to Psy-Harmonics and their artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest R2D2 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Absolutely great compilation. Psy Harmonics is one of my favourite labels and this CD is one of the reasons why. Absolute killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mugmez[at]worship.psyharmonix.4[ Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 The best compilation ever. Actually it's to good, since nothing can be compared to it...Hardcore freakfunk. This is what psychedelic music is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-scream Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 hmm, Seraphim.. are you sure about Speculator and Nobody being maybe the worst psytrance tracks ever? I mean, just listen to the final two minutes of each track and come post again. Seriously those endings are some of the sickest I have ever heard.. It might be the odd voice samples that made you press stop, but you should listen again 5/5 No bad tracks.. Favs: 1!, 2, 3, 4!, 9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaZeD Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 . Seriously those endings are some of the sickest I have ever heard.... It might be the odd voice samples that made you press stop.... So true, I reaaally love the ending of Nobody, but I also reeaally dislike the beginning of it, such lame voices, it's double, but on a party, or in a set that can be still fixed.
