Review:

 

In 1998 psychedelic trance seemed to be fading out.

Nothing new or exiting was been released. MWNN and Astral Projection were stuck

in their style, the old goa sound was only produced by Hallucinogen and

Infected

Mushroom was still very underground. So I guess Flying Rhino decided to

change their style, to expand their horizons and reach new audiences. So,

"while

staying true to their heritage they focus on progressive techno with

psychedelic

and hard house influences" as the booklet mentions. The result: An excellent

release "that oozes class" an has really influenced the psychedelic scene and

pave the way for artists like Atmos, Bus, Bumbling Loons and indirectly Paps,

Yumade, Tarsis, Jupiter 8000...

Slipstream opens with a huge track by Atmos, that's

destiny to become a classic. Mudless is a really good, with nice bass lines.

Micromega has a delightful 303 screaming the whole track :-). Something Always

Out sounds like finding god. The rest are really excellent tracks, with great

energy and a very special and a distinguish sound. Fly this airline it has

great

future. 9/10

Yep, this is the revolution.This comp. starts flying rhino's new style.Very

well built and for special ears only.Atmos,Slide,Kopfuss

resonator,Venom,Dragon and Bus tracks are the best.

Interesting comp. There are a few poor tracks and a few very nice ones (from

Kopfuss Resonator, Blue Planet Corp). Otherwise, I believe this is one of the

earliest records that blatantly retrofits influences from other genres (well,

mainly house) into trance. Sometimes it works (track 2) and sometimes it's

just boring. Worth the money if you can find it locally (i.e., no

postage/customs).

Bettet than "Velocity"...

Excellent, every track is good, some excellent. I didn't like it at first, but

it's very high quality stuff. It's much more powerful than any house I've ever

heard. The sounds, and progression make many tracks quite complex, even though

they might sound minimal. One of my favourite CD's, and one I never got sick

of.

same here i love this cd it did't like it when i just bought in 98 but know

hhhhhuuuuuuummmmmmmaaaaaa

Pretty Different release than previous flights...more mellow and soothing but

still with some heavy rhythms...KLEINE ABER DOCTOR, HOLY WATER, FREAK THE

GREEK ( !!! ), SOMETHING IS ALWAYS OUT THERE AND MICROMEGA are the best on

compilation....7.5/10

[abasio]

This for me is the best of the flight series. It was very different from the first two and this was what first got me into the no-melody progressive minimal whatever style.

 

It's a smooth trip through trance with a lot of psy and it's very psychedelic and groovy.

 

It's been nearly 20 years, it's stood the test of time and I still love it.

 

Atmos - Klein aber doctor

Slide - Confusional State

Stoop & Fidget - Mudless

Dragon - Freak the Greek

Bus - Something's Always Out There

Blue Planet Corporation - Micromega

 

...are all stand outs.

Fantastic rather than just great like the rest.
