Guest Stormbringer Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 Spirallianz - Motorman / Patch Finder Artist: Spirallianz Title: Motorman / Patch Finder Label: Spirit Zone Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Motorman 02. Patch Finder Review: I became a big fan of Spirallianz (and Midimiliz) as soon as I bought the first record (the Blast Food album) with them. I really like this kind of mix between heavy techno and dark psytrance that they´re such specialists on. I heard rumours of this ep several months before its release but it took me until now to get it here in Sweden. "Motorman" (4/10) is a standard technotune with crappy old sounds and it´s very monotonous. It improves towards the end but the poor beginning of the track spoils my mood to listen to it at all. This is one of the least good tracks made by Arne and Wayan. I got a bit worried until a fliped my record and started to listen to the b-side, "Patchfinder" (9/10). It sounds very much like something from the Midimiliz album "Antistat" and some things are also similar to the track "Cream" from the Atomic compilation "Behind The Sceenes". When I saw Spirallianz live this summer at the Arvikafestival the played "Patchfinder" and I promise you that I was headbanging by the fence like a maniac instead of dancing like everybody else. This track is really massive and pumping, and if you´re not prepared when you put the needle to the record you´ll think you got something by the industrial artist Imminent Starvation instead of Spirallianz. This track is one of the hardest techtrancetracks I´ve heard and I like it more and more. It´s grinding and monotonous but it keeps growing in intensity, and after a while there´s this sad creepy melody in the background that´s really haunting. If you´re into the nastiest kind of tech trance", then run like hell to the nearest store and by yourself a copy of this excellent record. If you´re not familiar with Spirallianz and prefer oldschool Goa", then you´ll need a heartspecialist if you´re about to try to listen to this! On the coversticker there´s this text "1st of 3". I really hope that means there´s two more ep´s to be released soon. If you´ve enjoyed the previous releases by Spirallianz you´ll love this to, atleast "Patchfinder".

Guest Cnt97 Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 Very disapointing.. I love some tracks by Spirallianz, One Way Ltd and Submariniert for example. But this is isn't very good IMHO. Doesn't grow that much in intensity as I would like it to do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Submitter Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 MOTORMAN IS THE BEST TRACK OF THE YEAR IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 I found this impossible to get into, monotonous and boring. I wouldn't play it for more than a couple of minutes. Sorry folks, usually I adore this outfit. 3/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arthur Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 Freak 51 u find this ep boring ??? I usually like ur reviews but i after ive read this one i gotta admit (no offense u have a bad taste in music.. (i am still having troubles believing that its really u that wrote this nonsense, or maybe u were reviewing the mp3 version wich has a really messed up bpm) anyways MOTORMAN EP IS MASSSSIIIIVEEEEEEE =] Spirallianz trully redefined the whole concept of techno music and I GIVE it 10/10 !!!!!!!

Guest AtomicCow Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Patchfinder sounds a lot like Cream by Midi Miliz (not surprising, that) so it's a good track but nothing spectacular. Motorman is amazing though. It's pretty much percussion and that thing that is like a holy sound to me. Great hypnotic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest som[at]nnsw[dot]quik[dot]com[dot Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 You think this is just straight 4 on the floor forget it. The kik is grooved, the bass goes dubba dubba the metal goes crash.This is just the way i like my trance, repeated listenings reveal hidden actors(sounds)and man this track is hard. Minimal trance for those that enjoy it.By the way Spirallianz is a large insurance company in germany so the play on words appears, are they the spiral alliance or the spir alliens?
