I must say that this fell in my taste the first time I listend to it and I must also say that this might be, in my opinion, the best album so far in 2001! The tracks on the album are minimal wich is the usual sound from M.O.S. and I LOVE minimal... especially when it's so freakin' good! I don't think I don't like any track on this album... they all are really good and most of them KICK ASS! This is a true must have for all you minimal lovers and DJ's out there, play this at your set and I´ll promise you a hole lot of freaks dancing :-) Anyway... as I said there are no bad tracks, very hard to say wich one's the best... but... I have to say that "Elements" and "Superdoener" are my favourites, they are very very good! I advice all of you out there to go get this, NOW! This is a must have and it's for sure worth a 10/10! Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeto Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 This album is really good... I saw them Live and they were very innovative. Great sounds... Elements being my favorite track on it. The whole album is quite nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 THis album is a killer!!!!!!! Clouds, and Timing Oh my goodness these tracks can get a crowd moving. well I say you have to buy this album if you like the style. I think it is techno not minimal. Minimal would be a little diffrent. but anyways if you like psy techno trance than you have to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit_ Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 I agree with all of you!! Great minimalstic trance with heavy beats. Not as much subtile melodies as Atmos, Noma and such bring us but the heavy bass will make you move. My favorite tracks are _Kommdas_, Timing and Clouds but all tracks are good. Excellent album!

Guest dj_auryn Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 Very well produced techno album - atmospheric and dubby sounds and some minimal melody layered over a tipically germanic sounding bassline. Isn't as groovy as I hoped it would be; rhythms sounding a bit stark in places. Production is massive though - clear as a mountain creek water. But it doesn't have a lot to do with psy-trance...

Guest Acidhive Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 MOS is back, and they return in style with another album full of their characteristic dark and atmospheric sound. This album is a bit more towards minimal than their previous effort, Bug, and I do think Bug was a really good piece of psytrance. But, so is this if you listen to it properly (on headphones or on a good soundsystem and LOUD!!) This album can create a real atmosphere, though I liked the way the tracks were mixed together in Bug better. In that album they created a flow, whereas here you get some pause between tracks. That said, I'll give this 8,5/10 so that's the same score as Bug! (Also check out their track Click (to be found on Goa-Head 7) that's still one of their best songs ever IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted April 29, 2001 Share Posted April 29, 2001 This gets better every time I listen to it. Comunique is the bomb. It's a keeper, probably an all-time classic that will still sound fresh years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 A really great album by MOS. It is more minimal than "Bug", and i can't say that i like it just as much, but it's great music for both dancing and listening. The production is even better than on "Bug", and I must say I can't wait for the next album from these guys. Concerning the "minimalism-vs-goa" fight, I must say that there is some old school psytrance that i loved back then, but i find cheesy now. In a couple of years I might even find MOS cheesy, but that's ok. Taste differs, and taste evolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
