mars Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 Dark Soho - Sun Spot Artist: Dark Soho Title: Sun Spot Label: Sphere Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 08'31" Unusual Ceremony 02. 07'08" Uine Saracomm 03. 08'13" Supernova 04. 07'20" From Beyond 05. 07'34" Depth Of Emotion 06. 07'28" Tales Of Tragedy 07. 07'50" Suckobus 08. 07'05" Sleep Walking 09. 07'26" Gothic Prayer Review: The long awaited album of the furious isra-helli Zeev, Boxer, And Rizzo is here to catch your soul. Unusual Ceremony is very calm in te beginging, then it begins to accelerate, and starts to pump on your brain after 4 minutes. That's a strange voodoo track, with guitars and a rhythm you can only like. Uine Saracomm is a strong piece of music, hard And dark. Its background is repetitive and the top level layers were taken from the grave. There is a big break, and after, it's a mix between scary melodies+voices, and very twisted sounds. Supernova is a more conventional track with no compromise. The whole tracks doesn't leave you any breathing space! (A true machinegun in a trench warfare). Some psychedelic sounds also slip over the rest of the music. From beyond is also very dark. It consists mainly in a fat And fast rhythm. Not really interesting except the way the breaks tend to surprise people. Depth of Emotion is very energetic, with a big rhythm and strange sounds all over during the first 4 minutes. Then the guitars come again with their gruesome melody that repearts all the time. There is a different rhythmic and the track gets wicked And scary with all those phantom voices everywhere...aaaah! Tales of Tragedy has -once again- sounds that summon all the graveyards around, over a very repetitive rhythm. Not bad, but not my favourite track either. Suckobus is certainly what you want to compose whe you see horror movies! At first, the track is like an angry thing, not really psychedelic; then it unrolls and the music takes you... At the end, distorted dark scratchy sounds want to gain possession of your body and get it to dance... sleep Walking: again the same recipe: rhythm and soulburning sounds in the first half. the second half is full of gurgling sounds. It looks a bit like a Sandman track. Gothic Prayer is, to my mind, the best track in this album: it looks like some Delta track. The rhythm is such that you -must- dance. the bassline gets through you, and the sounds makes your spin to chill. At last, there is a neverending tiny melody over that. I'm sure Dark Soho wants to hypnotize people with this track. You, who think that some composers are non-human , you are right. You, who always think the best groups come from space, you are wrong. Excellence can also come from the land of the Dead! You, who like rhythmic things that mean something, go to the local graveyard to get this album...9/10.

Guest shantidruid[at]yahoo[dot]co[dot] Posted October 19, 2000 Share Posted October 19, 2000 Not especially happy is it? Likely to produce paranoia, I'd say. Jungle for Trancers. By the way, the tracklisting on my copy has gothic prayer at 2 and uine saracomm at 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dreamer Posted October 22, 2000 Share Posted October 22, 2000 yeah Shantidruid, Sphere did a mistake and replaced those 2 tracks. so actaully Gothic Prayer is uin saracomm and uine saracomm is gothic prayer. if you're tired of hearing those tracks in full lenght and want to hear them cut as samples (hehe), you can check out the official dark soho site. http://darksoho.isratrance.com there's also many things about darksoho there Dreamer.

Guest AlexG Posted November 14, 2000 Share Posted November 14, 2000 okay, this is pretty good! nothing on this album was bad, and that is very rare! but also, with the exception of one song, nothing here was brilliant! it was all just too typical. the only track that really makes me say WOW is "depth of emotion", and it was already released before. nonetheless, like i said, this is a good album, just not something to loose sleep over (hmm, that's an interesting way to put it 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 I don't get it. It sounds juvenile and overproduced to me, with too many adolescent-angst guitar riff overlays. Then just when it gets good, it throws too many sounds in the mix, or breaks into triplets, and I lose interest. There are some nice dark sounds here, but overall if this is the best Israel has right now, I think I'll stick with Germany. 4/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slinker Posted November 22, 2000 Share Posted November 22, 2000 This album fuses breaks, dark gothic melodies and pumping bass lines...it sounds fresh and takes you away, killer on a loud system to dance to and to trance out to...i dissagree that it sounds juvenile..you will certainly not be dissapointed , the only bad thing was i found this a little hard to get my hands on!! a rare treat that will be a part of me for a few years to come 9/10 Yummmmmy =^,^= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted November 22, 2000 Share Posted November 22, 2000 I tried this again. The first half of pretty much every track is very good. Then always with the Yngwie Malmstein/dunta-dunta-dunta treatment. The good thing about guitar solos is that each one is slightly different. Sampling and looping a riff multiples of 4 times each really grates on my nerves, once the 2nd iteration starts. It's OK to end a track early (4 mins, 5 mins) if all you can think of is to give it the Johann-Bley treatment. Bottom line, if you still like electric guitars in the mix, you'll likely adore this one. I still hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smg Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 I think this sounds a bit dumb. Structures are often very simple, luckily it sometimes sounds nice though. In my opinion Supernova, Suckobus and Sleep walking are good tracks, like 9 or 10/10, them being screeching and heavy with nice basslines. Rest of the bunch is from the other end. This very much hyped track Depth of emotion turned out to be dissapointment for me. I say 7/10 for whole album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest etnluv[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 Psy Sound structure is pretty effective, sometimes leading to a sense of dark nightish trance state. Sometimes its very aggressive and that's not actually my style cause i prefer deep and ambient sound. However may seem simple, originality is on its way especially in the bassline constructions which in my opinion are the sounds which impress most - really well made. Tracks to listen - Depth of Emotion and Gothic prayer. However the others can be enjoyed if u re into this kind of music. You can find me on my Psy Trance/electronic download site - www.technomusic.org/etn/etn.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isra-Alien Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Love it! hard & minimal, plus great use with the guitars! Very powerful, you can hear the Infected sounds in every beat... 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
