Review:

 

I didn't quite get what I was expecting when I saw this new Spirit Zone

release and looked at the track listing. Its good but, not as good as I

had hoped. I would have bought it just for the Spirallianz, Wizzy Noise

and Necton tracks alone, which are all good. The Haldolium track I just

don't like. Too light and annoying lyrics. The rest is solid though and

it delivers. 8/10 (extra points for the Necton/Spirallianz and Wizzy).

The spirilianz, necton and wizzy track are nice..

Also Bamboo Forest track is very nice...

If you like thier style you will like this track.

Similar sounds, but doing the job.

the Haldolium track is kinda wierd.. heh vocals.. they are allright...they are

experimenting with a new style...

Most of this comp is really nice

Go Get It (If you want) !

well, I would say this is a high quality compilation. Mindboggler is the best

track. I don't understand why they included SBK as it's released on their

cd-album. But the rest of tracks are either unreleased or only out on vinyl so

why not release it on cd for us who don't have a turntable? My favourite

tracks are 1,6 and 8! I give this 8/10.

Nothing outstanding here, but then what can be expected from a compilation with

a name like "Psycho-tainment?" (Say it to yourself -- "Psycho-tainment." It

isn't even a proper pun. It's like the Sprit Zone guys heard Twisted's

"Dementertainment" and thought, "Hey, we can be witty, too!") I'm disappointed

by Etnica's increasingly lax compositions. They did some neat stuff on Africa

2000, but these dark tracks have so little to them. // Couldn't Haldolium have

chosen someone who could actually SING to do their vocals? The guy sounds

like there's a clothespin on his nose and kazoo in his larynx. // Bitch,

bitch, bitch...

i think this is an amazing comp. sure, the holdolium track is crap, but the

rest is killer! i dont really like opsis track, although it isnt bad, just not

my style, but 1, 2, 3(!!), 5(!!), 6, 7, 8(!!) are all grrreat!

paul@autodestruct.com, stop bitchin, man! you judge a cd by its name? what?

and etnica track is GOOD, they're just trying something different, but you can

still hear it's got class. 8/10

good compil. sangeets song kicks ass, full of power. the voice in the

haldolium's song fits great with the song which starts with a melodic dark

synth sound, and the powers up with a good bassline and strong beat. sbk also

kicks ass, and spirallianz wow. the deep melody sounds like the alice's dj

"better off alone" one but it's more complex and darker. played it in a party

an people started floating. wizzy noise and etnica, best tracks in the album

next to the haldoliums one.

This compilation is nothing more than a nowadays tech filler...Like everything else in that

genre it will soon start collecting the dust...Maybe 2 tracks worth some

listen : CHINESE GIRL and LOVE ON DOPE. Rest is way to average or boring...5/10
