Ruskababa 10 Years Review: Cool, I'm the first to review this one Well, you might not know Flying Scorpions, but you should, they're very very good!! Why? Well, they manage to do 2 major things in this album which very few artists can: 1. it sounds happy without sounding cheezy and 2. it sounds wierd without sounding random!! My 2 loves are Avari.. a total stormer, it will make people on the dancefloor go insane!! and Victory of the Scorpions which has a very catchy melody, the kind you hear near the end of a goa party and then go home whisteling it... untill you forget it and think "damn, what was that cool melody again?" he he another good one is Evil Hippie Sock Revenge... interesting reinterpretation of oldschool goa... and again, totally insane!! You can see that these guys don't do anything conventional: even the track lenghts are unusual for psytracks: almost all the songs are between 4:20 and 5:30 minutes!! Hmm... I could've gone with lenghtier tracks personally... but what I like is that they totally abandon the too-typical and annoying structure of (maybe) 20 second mini-climax in the first 2 minutes, then nothing happens untill the 40-second climax in minute 5 and then nothing again. None of this here, you get continuously-morphing melodies from one end to the other!! 10/10 when innovation sounds GOOD!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkraver Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I don't know how to assess a track like - 'They love fucking you up' And there are couple more with extreme samples like repeated flying scorpions samples. But Suomi always has so many catchy tunes and memorable melodies, inspite of having all the other nonsensical things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
