Review:

 

Both the Quirks Mark Allen and Tim Healey have been experimenting alot the last

couple of years and they are some of the pioneers in the wave of housey

progressive trance - which have grown nearly to the size of a tsunami during

the last year. Hopefiend is Marks own project and this album feels like it

comes in the exact right time - the first releases I heard from Hopefiend

didn´t feel at all as interesting as this, and it feels like he took the time

he needed to evolve and experiement to release this full length. Because of

the sets I´ve heard from him during the summer (that hot morning @ VooV,,

ohh.. memories :), just after Antis great(!) morninghours :)), I had quite

some expectations on this one, and he surely delivered what I wanted - loads

of great pounding rythms and it´s as quirky and funny as ever. The tracks

shifts between mostly uplifting, rather sunny parts while some ends up in real

mind-slicing melodies - melodies which sometimes gives the feel off something

experienced after a (bad?) snort of cocaine. All in all a great piece of work

- if you feel like you need a sunny percussive journey with some slicing

melodies and twists - then this is a really nice buy.
