Review:

 

I've got this compilation from my local second hand shop and it's full of pure

old-school madness. It starts with the original version of Youth Of The Galaxy

from Doof. It's typical Doof style with lots of melodies, if you like the Turn

On album you will also like this track. Next track is Atomic Armadillo, also

released on the GNOTR album. To be honest I have this album and I don't really

like it that much, I've listened to it only a couple of times but when I heard

this track again i really liked its style. It's full of wicked 303-action and

very pumping. I guess i will soon give the GNOTR album another try! The Slinky

Wizard track that commes next is the weakest one on the whole album. It's not

really bad but somehow it's doesn't album comes, the LSD-Remix from Doof. It

starts really Doof-like and first it doesn't sound like LSD at all. But then

the Hallucinogen parts kick in and you immediately hear the LSD in it. Very

great remix, much better than the new mixes on the LSD vinyl released this

year. The fifth track from Castle Trancelott is nothing too special. It starts

a little boring but after the first minutes a nice melody kicks in and it gets

a little better. Tempest from Salamander gets better again. A nice and fast

track with lots of layers and melodies, not very wicket but nice! Track number

seven is also ok with a good melody. Then comes Orion from Arcana, another

highlight of the comp. It has a fast melody that changes a lot in the track

and also some 303 sounds added, surely a killer!! The ninth track is also a

killer!! It starts very simple and boring but then more and more layers and

melodies are added and a very kicking sample comes. Also one of my favourite

tracks here! Track number 10 is a littler slower than the others (but still

not ambient at all!), it has a screaming melody and it's quite nice. The last

track fom U4EA is nothing special, it's soft and not bad but also not

outstanding or very touchy for me. Finally this album is really worth it's

money, no ugly tracks and the tracks number 3,8 and 9 are absolute killers.

Don't miss it when you love old-school and can get your hands on it!
