V/A - Scrambled Heads


Guest Baboon

Recommended Posts

The first 2 tracks are bringing me back to the world of fantasy; trippy voices,

melancholic melodies, good old 303 & 505 sounds...more of this ! The rest of

the comp is rather boring altough the squaremeat track is worth listening

twice (too much toony's :) the mastering could be better.

Review:

 

This compilation is by all means one of the best comps I´ve got this year!

Track 1 is extremly driving and psychedelic, nice twists and turns and a

beautiful atmosphere, the kind of stuff I wanna hear in the middle of the

night at a party (btw, best track on this comp:). Track 2 is very much like

the first one, very aggressive and driving psy-trance! Track 3 is much more

concentrated on the bass and the drums, not the same feeling here I think :/.

Track 4 is also much built on the hard drums, but this is better constructed,

nice to with the twisted cartoon samples. "Neuromotor" on Track 5 brings You

as always quality, driving and psychedelic full-on, this one will empty Your

legs from muscles :). Track 6 has a very evil, punding and twisted bassline,

the kinda stuff our member "Strombringer" likes I figured out :). "Iceolator"

on Track 7 gives You a massive acid track, very fast and driving, it will

empty Your head from energy for sure... Track 8... last one, finishes of this

compilation absolutly perfect! Quality psychedelic morning tune of the more

evil kind. This compilation is for sure recomended, I think most openminded

people will enjoy this very much, it's also a good choice for DJs whom play

this kind of music in their sets. Also a big plus to the cool front cover! :)

BOLIBOMPA!!!

You´re right Baboon! I really like "Decade Glitch" (9/10) by the pretty unknown

Yugoslavian act Eqked. This track is so much better than their release on

Hadshot and I´m looking forward to hear more music from them.

Woohaaaaa!!!

This is crazy night time music. I love it, probably as baboon says, this is the

best comp of the year. Best trax are 1 and 4. Number 4 are totally wicked.

8.5/10

If you took a random, medium-skilled musican that isn`t too old and you made

him listen to Hux Flux - Nervoservo with the mission to later create 8 tracks

with the main theme of "Insane mental patients" it would sound like this.

Witch is neather good or bad but put in the ears of the listener. (7.5/10))

Highlight - (4) Sienis : Tales From The Trip.

Fantastic from what I've heard of the compilation, A nice change to the

constant minimal attack I am starting to tire of. (I bought twisted recently,

I am cursed;) I like every track which is rare in a compilation 8/10

there are a lot of compilations coming out lately in this style, which is

definitely a good thing because i like my trance psychedelic and experimental

:) however, this is probably the one with the worst production and mastering

.. nonetheless, it's still a lot better and more inspiring than a lot of

boring crap coming out these days ... the neuromotor track is good as usual,

very energetic dancefloor stuff ... my favourite tracks are procs - tropical

pleasure and sienis - tales from the trip .. i wasn't too impressed yet by

most of the other tracks, but they contain some interesting ideas anyway ..

i'm pretty sure we'll be hearing more from these talented new artists in the

future ;) 7/10

pitty about the production of some tracks, but this is a mad comp.!

i like all tracks, 1 & 2, are loopy and really play with your head. 3, getting

darker.. and really pumping. 4, this is some comical track :) it will make u

smile for sure. 5, oh my god! this is wicked!.. my favourite neuromotor track

so far.. here we have some true mindbending sounds, and i imagine this would

be a real stormer on the floor. 6, quite dark, less melody.. i dont like this

one very much. 7, full of acid lines and very very energetic.. my favourite

track tim thick has been involved with. 8, finishes off the comp nicely with

more twisted work :)

i recommend this comp if u are on the border of insanity. 8.5/10

I never thought that a release of this kind of sound would come from Germany - more likely from Finland. But that's not a bad thing - well i can't say anything bad at all about the whole release.

It's more subtle than most of the cracy Finnishers and it makes this release listenable even on the early mornings.

 

Favourite tracks:

Eqked - Decade Glitch

Neuromotor - Organic Confusion (Rmx)

Peyote People - The Ancient Jewelled Moon

Psy Babas - Formel Sex

 

8/10
