Review:

 

An album full of fun and weirdness and once again great production. It has

always amazed me the amount of noises and layers in every Quirk song and the

perfect samples they use. After a great intro it begins with a joke, Sleazy

Listening a song with vocals and cow bells. Then Paradise Pills with that huge

sample by Underworld sends you to mars. Probably Track 5 is the weakest but

after that its a full on trip. Track 6 is perfect for the dance floor then

some powerful slam guitars. The last two pieces are more ambient, specially

salvation a kind of rip of of Pachelbel Kanon´s Uffffff! 9/10

Track 5 the best on this... SOme excellent sounds orchestration and progression

on this album... but personally the intro sample and the last track leave me

untouched...the first bcos that vocoder/robot sound is so cliche, and the

latter bcos iv heard pachabels canons in a million shopping malls and the

recognizability of the melody doesnt allow for any sort of original

composition to shine through. Also the CD-Rom section od the disc is a total

gimmick - possibilities but where? 7/10

I was first quite dissapointed at this album but lately I have found out it's a

real kick ass album. Sit down and listen to this album closely. Very wicked

stuff, I must say I kinda like the intro tracks best. Funky psychedelia?

Mmmmmmmm, too un-psytrance for me - Glam rock in parts! and many really

annoying samples - 'sleazy listening' and 'paradise pills'. The Chakra and

Edi remix is the best track by a country mile, as for the rest - take it

away!!!!!!

As an album of various styles in trance and funky techno it works very well, i

saw these guys play this live in the UK and it was one helluva party!!...maybe

not entirerly for the dancefloor, but an alltogether enjoyable experience

Paradise Pills is one of my favorite Hard dance tracks of the past few years

with some classic build ups and soaring noises. Maybe most of the other tracks

may not appeal to all..but i kinda like this album 8/10 each track is

different as has a style of its own!..definately not boring

It's not psy, it's not Goa.. Its quirk. After their first release on Krembo..

they stopped being goa. I didn't relize this until I bought the CD. Thought it

was dire cheeze at first but now its one of my favourite CD's, The best track

for me is the very bizzare Trap door.. I know its more of an interlude.. but

i love it :) . overall 8/10.. But be warned you gotta be open minded for this

one

This is extremely experimental album, more than the first one...It is very

funny at the times and weird and bouncey...Their skill is improved with this

album....All songs are different from each other and the album is actually

great to listen with lots of friends or on some home party....The best tracks

are : 3,4,5,6,7,10....8/10

Yessss...! Quirk has always a meaning with their stuff and their music is very

organic. These guys knows how to innovate and not immitate as many other

artists do. Go Quirk, go!!! Ps. u gotta love robotised and cognitive disident.

9/10
