Review:

 

To begin this album, it?s strange to notice that 7 bit (too chaotic) &

Hardware (too puffing) were choosen as their listening don?t give the desire

to go forward. A little technical information, the tracks are quite fast, i

mean the tempo starts from 140 bpm in 7 bit and evolves progressively to

reachs 150 in The Blissed One then slow down for the two last tracks.

 

Things start to improve themselves with Fatburg, a bouncy bassline ,you add a

big dose of psychedelism and you got a nice happy stuff.

 

Almagortion is the moment when music gets seriously interesting with Lotus

Omega. This track has some feeling like Crop Circles (Etnica+Lotus Omega) ,

sharp,strident and acid tones with a hint of madness.

 

Amnios is an exception in this album., Lotus Omega (Francesco d?Amato and

Filippo Scrimizzi) made it with Poli ( ? if i well understand). Some bleeps,

distorted and mettalic sounds, good energy, you keep the Lotus Omega touch :

lots of sharp sounds and you put the bpm at 147 . Now to finish the receipe,

you got to put a headphones on, pump up the volume and enjoy !

 

The tempo accelerates (149 bpm) in Groove Digger, but the magic of the 2

previous tracks has vanished, it?s the same for The Blissed One.

 

The inspiration does shyly his come back in 134 Coil,, honest whitout more.

 

After all this, you?ve got a klonk stuff with Trance do Brazil, it?s the

time of recreation for Lotus Omega, a psychedelic brazilian samba tune

sampled on the famous traditionnal brazilan tune « Samba de Janeiro ».

 

 

If you were thinking the current psytrance productions becoming less & less

psychedelic or more & more uniform, you should try Quantum Rabbit Hole.

But warning, it can reveal itself quickly too repetitive for some people ?
