Guest Pit-UFO Posted March 4, 2000 Share Posted March 4, 2000 Medicine Drum - Supernature Artist: Medicine Drum Title: Supernature Label: 4DAT Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 01'25" Prayer 02. 05'37" Mandragora 03. 08'31" Siouxpernature 04. 08'28" Slipstream 05. 06'57" Wizard's Brew 06. 04'47" Alpha Return 07. 08'20" Water 08. 07'11" 12-12 Review: I really love this album with a horrible cover. PRAYER along with MANDRAGORA are like an amazing ceremony describing what you are about to experience: ANCESTRAL TRIBAL DRUMS MEETING THE FUTURE. Sioxpernature its awesome and very energetic. I really like the breakbeats at the end of it. Then some ancient chanting to mellow in SLIPSTREAM, because WIZARDS BREW its going to give new energy to the ritual. The last three tracks describe the end of the night and the rise of the sun. THE JOURNEY ITS OVER. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikrozomme[at]bgvirtual[dot]zzn[ Posted May 9, 2000 Share Posted May 9, 2000 With this exquisite production Medicine Drum ran into my heart so deep.The only thing that disturbed me was the length of this CD-50:59.The music stuff is awful great-starting the psycho journey with tracks like "Mandragora" and "Siouxpernature".It develops soooo deep in "Slipstream"and "Wizards Brew".Then blows your mind with gems like "Alpha Return" and "Water".The magic ends with this exciting ambient track-"12-12".Tribal drums and computerized harmonies melt together.Just an incredible package of music!

Anoebis Posted July 4, 2000 Share Posted July 4, 2000 Maybe the best Tribal Goa-music ever made!! This is not for on hard parties, this is for listening while you're relaxed... Then the CD will take you on a journey... It'll take you to the Jungle of Borneo, it will take you to waterfalls and desserts far away from this world!! Magical piece of work!! Unfortunately Medicine Drum couldn't make such great music anymore after this one was released!! So when you see this, BUY BUY BUY!!!

Guest mark2000[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 no-ones mentioned it here but the CD also has an enhanced bit on the end that you can play on your computer which is probably why the CD appears to be so short.

Guest sunsquid Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I think this is a really good album, but kinda poor production! Amazing congas, tablas, bongos (whatever you call them). 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest civ604 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Chris Deckker's & Co (Andy Guthrie, C.Smith) endeavour to bring some "tribal trance electronica" for us to experience (by the way, Andy Guthrie is also the man behind Banco De Gaia & Funkopath projects, among others). And there are definitely plenty of emotions to unfold even considering those 5 years that passed since this album's release. I won't call it the best tribal GOA yet made, whatsoever, but I like it for its originality & sincerity. This kinda music is all about travelling: just like with Up, Bustle & Out , D&B-etnic band, the general concept & the way it works stays the same (I guess so), while the method its content is being transmitted to listener's mind differs quite a bit. Also I consider Medicine Drum sequel album, Talking Stick, being not below the standarts this one sets. So, to conclude: 8/10 is well-deserved here. Tchankov I.V.
