nonono! this is not at all a good compilation. the word is b-o-r-i-n-g! and im

sooo tired of that cheesy, poorly produced atmos track. i think that track is

his worst ever, and usually i love his stuff. 6/10 overall

Review:

 

This is not as good as the Under Construction comp in the modern psytechno

style, but there are a couple of tracks that stand out and the rest is still

ok. First track I don't like a lot, something is missing. So nice you name it

twice is an excellent song by Atmos, one of his best I think, with a fast

bassline and a quite uplifting melody. Next track by Shiva Chandra is good,

taken from the Lunaspice album, sounds a little organic with an intelligent

rythmic structure built around voice samples. Vibrapshere delivers a cool

track as always, with a pounding bass line, swirling synths and light echoed

sounds on top. Tristan track is good with a funny sounding synth. The next two

tracks are nice, but there's nothing special. Last track by Yumade stands out

: cool intro, and some minutes after the bass and kick are there, a very heavy

sounding synth plays some sort of melody. Overall 7/10 Just wondering : is it

right that 1 and 5 have the same name ? It's inside the cover, too, so it

can't be a typing mistake...

yes yes yes! this is a good compilation. you've got tristan involved in 3

tracks (1,5,6 that's why 1 and 5 are the same name). you've got atmos,

vibrasphere, yumade and the rest is good too. how can you go wrong? it's

quite minimal but if you like the style of those bands you won't be

disappointed. 8/10.
