Insejn Posted January 4, 2002 Author Share Posted January 4, 2002 Yahel - Private Collection Artist: Yahel Title: Private Collection Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 07'59" Come Inside 02. 08'15" Electro Panic 03. 09'01" Avalanche 04. 07'44" Step By Step 05. 07'41" Scratch 06. 07'28" Heart Ache 07. 07'59" Unusual 08. 06'58" Crystal Blue 09. 03'41" Bomb Creator Review: Starts with a calm track to get you inside(?) Some beats, some club, kinda nice flow tho. The next track, Electro Panic, I've heard alot of people talking about this track. The sample? or the guy who says 'electro panic' is cool and good. Good track over all, not typical Yahel cheese. The next track is typical Yahel cheese, or should I call it club? Anyway, no doubt the guy can make good melodies. The fourth track is again not typical Yahel. Groovy track with bongas and some hard lines. The next track takes us back to the cheese. And this is just too cheesy for me. Track 3 is much better cheese imo. Next track; yet another more groovy track. It seems like he jumps back and forth with cheese and not-cheese. Track #7; Is in the more cheesey direction. You know the Yahel-sound. The 8th track is bad. Slow, simple and technoish. And the last track is better to not even talk about. So let us not. It's bad I'm telling you. So...What does this CD get? Final Verdict: 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Hanky Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 You hear right jeto some excellent stuff indeed in this one come inside is a great intro and a killer atmosphered track. Avalanche is very melodic but in a good way,with a clsassy morning track feeling to it. Step by Step is a killer SBK oriented percussion & groove track but much better, also a classic. & you should catch the killer electro panic(it's DUVDEV singing the title)in a party to appreciate it the most.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 So many people are overly concerned with labels. Listen to it for gods sake. If you like it, say why constructively. If you don't like it, do the same. Otherwise, what's the point? You're just disturbing shit for the sake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Well, I have the feeling that Yahel wanted to do exactly what so many others are doing!! He tried to combine more rythmic elements with rather fluffy melodies, and that combination isn't good!! Electro Panic is great, but that's the only track on the cd!! Yahel, please, continue to make full on melodic stuff like you made on your last albums, it's much better!!! (maybe (??) not for parties, but for listening!!) Bom Shankar!

traveller Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Is that cover taken from a f**king scooter album or something? I was thinking about buing this album. Well im not going to buy it now. I mean damn, look at that cover, that f*cking sucks. However.. STOP CRITISIZING HOM-MEGA.. Life Is = One of the very best complication known to man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Misha SF Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Yahel rocks! He is one of the few who continues producing high quality melodies on the psy scene. In my opinion this is a must have album. For those who call this music cheesy house I would recommend to calm down and become more open.

Guest FelipeLemosBrasil Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 This is the best Yahel album, no doubt. 1st track is really very good, nice percursions, tribal drums, a progresive Israeli track, nice sample too. 2nd track with Infected Mushies is very nice, better listen in a big sound system or in a good headphone,hehehe... Powerfull effects and the Mushies spirit. 3rd track is maybe the best track here, power,happy, morning, BUT NOT CHEESE!!! A real energy sunshine!! Thanx YAHEL, this track rules!! 4th is veeeeerrrrryyyyy goooood too, progressive, groovy, very danceable, one of my favourites too. 5th track is not my cup of tea, clubby and cheesy... 6th track progressive influenced too, some tribal percussions, makes me happy... first time i listened it i didnt like , but now i love it... 7th is not one of my favorites, a little clubby... 8 and 9 i dont like (yet?). Tribal maker could be in this album, it is a very good track too... Well, the production is EXCELLENT, WOOOOWW, i can hear every sounds clearly... Like every Hom-mega productions... THANX YAHEL & DJ EYAL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 I like alot of Yahel's music, but this album sounds much too clubish for me. Even though he does dance music, this album does not seem anywhere near as psychedelic and deep as some of his other work. Did Erez work with him on this or not? Some tracks are pretty cool, but not as driving and energetic as some tracks on his other 2 albums before this one. Yahel has done better, but this album is not bad.

Guest moaksey[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 UNUSUAL is incredible.... if theres one good track on this album, this is it... a little progressive, but awesome... cheers yahel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bzo1[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 I really love this cd. I don't know why Yahel suddenly changed his style but i love the new style too. If u get your hands on this disk, play Electro Panic & Scratch(best i think).......... anyway, Intelligent Life is still the best track of Yahel (and ever). I'd give this cd 9/10 coz i think track 8 or 9 (don't remember) is not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alcapone_9[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 in my opinion this cd is full off shit!! except for electro panic offcourse but thats not even yahel its infected mushroom, so i guess that says it all!!!

Guest vortexian Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 wow alot of people hating on this album... too bad - i think the whole thing is a work of art from beginning to end. Theres not one song i dont like, maybe i like crystal blue a little less than the rest of them...but its never enough to make me want to skip the song...I haven't heard any cheese so i dont know what some of these people are talking about....and im the first to dislike cheesy stuff... It took me two listens all the way through to start to really like it... the first time through i thought it was just pretty neat and only really liked electro panic and step by step, but on further listens the subtlties come out...As far as the album art goes.... i dont really make a connection with the music inside with the art...but oh well its yahels album and he can do whatever he pleases with it. all in all i say a 8/10 as standalone songs and minus a point for the art (Because i think artwork should compell people to get off their asses and buy it and instead of just keeping it on mp3...)

Guest gsm[at]beepeefone[dot]hu Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Avalanche is the best track that I've heard in my whole life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_club_trance[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Yahel has completely changed his style in most of the songs in this album.He's kinda Clubbish.Less Melodic but more percussions & effects.There are great tracks right here.AVALANCHE is really gr8 (kinda Yahel's old style u know).ELECTRO PANIC isn't ma style anyway but many ravers love it.It's completely different.SCRATCH is good too.I think that Yahel was trying to change most of his own style.Im ma own opinion,this album isn't that good.Nothing compared to INTELLIGENT LIFE,VOYAGE,ISRAEL DREAMS,....

Guest [Anonymous] Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Scratch is the best song in this album... Pis /J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 i didn't think much of this album at all.. yahel has lost the plot here imo... 2nd track is nice, but that even gives this album a lower rating, since that is more im than yahel/././ mr. sherman, you missed the mark here big time.. i would not recommend this one, and if you like the clubby sound, buy the green house effect album with your money...

Guest * Vlad * Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 If you like new but old school goa trance releases ( not minimalist ) like Tim Schuldt, Fractal Glider etc.. Yahel works great. 08/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clique[at]mbnet[dot]fi Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Fantastic sounds and more melodies here. Though it could have been more aggressive and dynamic. Top class product. Is there a bit more melancholy between notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SF local 420 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Yahel,who always seems to be moving closer and closer to a more progressive style of trance,seems to have taken a step back into the psytrance realm with his new release.As to disappoint loyal Yahel fans,"Private Collection" is chock full of his signature melodies carefully placed over funky beats that are not remenescent of past releases .This amalgamation of the two produces a solid sound and a makes for a killer album that is a must have for any fans of Israeli psy trance.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest APlusC Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Haha, look at the cover - it's horrible! Seriously though, this is not really psytrance so it should not be judged as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I've listened to this CD over and over again... and everytime I listened to it I wondered "what the fuck was Yahel thinking about when he made this??" IMO he surely wasn't thinking of making good music... This has NOTHING to do with his other 2 albums which I found very good... First track is pretty good, but for the others he seems to use the same sample-formula: he says a word, adds the exact same effect in each track and then it's echoed from one speaker to the other... Not impressive in one track, but when it comes over and over throughout the album it gives you a headache!! And i don't know why everyone says Electro Panic is good, IMO it's fucking horrible!!! as for the whole cheese/club debate... I personally found this a lot less "cheezy" than his first 2 albums, but making it sound less commercial and making it sound good are 2 completely different things!! 3/10 VERY dissapointing...

seraph Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Pretty dissapointing album from Yahel...I loved his first two albums but this one just gets way too progressive and clubby...Those melodies are practically gone, only few every once in a while and he does manage to bore you after a while...Still, good tracks are : ELECTRO PANIC, STEP BY STEP, CRYSTAL BLUE...6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
