Totally agree with the above!!

Micha Yossef did a great job!

Only good tracks,no fillers,and placed in the right order

which makes this comp sound like a whole.

I just LOVE it!!(esp.XV Kilist)

A must-have!

I have mixed feelings about this one. from track four (including) until the end

it is mind blowing, Really beautiful pounding stuff. A must have. The problem

in my opinion are the first 3 tracks. Don't get me wrong, I think that

minimalism and the absence of melodies is good to some extent (some of my

favorites include hux flux, Spiral active project, Darshan and Xenomorph - you

can't really categorize these as melodic). But tracks 2 and 3 are basically a

pounding kick drum, a one note bass line repeating, and once in a while a

sound or two and maybe some percussion work. A total bore. track 1 is better

but still not my cup of tea. I guess this tracks will be great to dance

to(their rythem is hypnotic) but, in my opinion, not very enjoyable as home

listening. So.....I think it is a good buy (especially

 

because of tracks 4-9) but it is not intended for the melodica lovers.

So, we're halfway through the year 2000. What better time to evaluate the state

of psy-trance? Opinions vary, but I see now as the most exciting time ever,

musically speaking. Psy-trance has truly gone global, with regional styles

emerging from all points of the world. Each has got soul and spirit, but none

has come on so strong as the Scandanavian/Northern European "progressive"

sound. Love it or loathe it (and I f**kin' LOVE it), there's no denying that

dancefloors are blowing up like never before. That said, "Under Construction"

is THE definitive collection of psy-trance in the 21st Century. Standouts are

XV Kilist, Fuzzion and S-Range but every track is a stormer. As compilations

go, this is as good as it gets. Dunno why they call it "Under Construction"

though -- this one's a finished work of art. Not to be missed. 9.5/10

Normally I don't like Minimalistic Trance, but this CD is something

different... It has such great rhytms that even I like it!! :o))

 

If melodic Trance-lovers wanne taste some Good Progressive Goa, then buy this

one for sure!!!

 

Best tracks are 2,3,4(!!!),6,8 Bom Shankar

This Cd sounds so awful that is very hard to enjoy. The engineer that

compilated should be sued by the psytrannce community. A really bad job there,

the low frequencies are so close to distortion that it takes away the medium

ranges. The Brow Eyed Girl and the S-Range tracks are really good. 2/10,

because of the poor sound quality.

starts off boring, but after 3 tracks it starts kicking! s-range and fuzzion

track are best here in my opinion. finally russians started making psy-trance

(fuzzion, paranoic sensations, in r voice)! makes me proud =) 8/10

Oh yeah babe, not so psychedelic but dark like hell. Spirillianz lovers this is

for you. As usual, don't use cheapo speakers, listen loud and find yourself a

brain.

 

[ 9/10 ]

First three tracks don't do it for me, too minimal, after that it's amazing.

The Fuzzion track is awesome, dark atmosphere, cool break... The 3 tracks

after are very good, quite powerful, and last track by Noma is my second

favourite, everything fit so right ! I also think bass are too heavy. Overall

8.5/10

A-ma-ziiiiiiiiing! Fuzzion - Brown Eyed Girl. These kind of compils make me

wanna sell my synths :-) I'll be getting the "Movers and Groovers" compil

soon, we'll see if that will change my opinion, but for now this is the best

compil I've ever heard. 9/10 - yes it's THAT good. Bom! - Raven

This is one of my best compilations of 2000, this compilation is oriented

mostly for tech-trance and progressive trance listeners that want to explore

PROGRESSION IN TRANCE MUSIC...,, stand out tracks are by MIDI MILIZ - FLIP

=(MASSIVE BOMB),

FUZZION - brown eyed girl= JUST AMAZING !!!!(killer sample form RoLLing Stones

;)!!!!!

Eergear - ramburak , Xv kilist - storm and other trax from that compilation are

also very good

Overall i give it 8/10 SOLID RELEASE !!!!!!!!

Well almost everyone is thinking exactly like me =)

it is like the first three tracks is some kind o warmup, not very much action.

just that boom boom boom ..not very god, but then every track after the third

makes me fly !!! its is so wonderful tracks u cant believe it!!!

i give it 10/10 after the third track... 7/10 include the 3 first tracks..but i

havent listened to the whole cd in a row jet.....after a fiew time of

listening of the whole CD it might be like a kind of great start these 3 slow

boom boom tracks ;D dont know jet but im going to find out, not the first

time i listen to this great cd , that a promise
