Very basic production skills here. Live act is much better. The secodn trak on cd 2 is basically just samples with bss beats behind them. Very heavy bass kicks, lots of old school warped sounds. Very common australian Psy cd with just plain weird sh!t coing on. It is more based on the idea that Psy and Goa trance is fun but takes this to far as it seems like just a boy playing with his new toys. If you want to hear something Australian then this is ok but Space Tribe and Fractal Glider are much better produced and more skilled at writing tracks. Sugar should just stick to live gigs. 4/10 maximum!! From Mike in Melbourne, Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xjohnie[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 i don't think sugar is very talented, and definately hasn't progressed much musically from his days in the house of pagan christians.. some of the tracks on this cd are almost identical to his old works. sugar uses a pretty basic formula, from which he doesn't vary much at all. i wouldn't recommend this cd.. but favourite track: tuff cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest i'llgetintrouble[at]ifisaymyname Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 I've met Felix quite a few times, he's a very cool guy, but his music isn't as cool. the bassline is the same crappy tinny sound on EVERY track - which works an absolute treat in the bush on real loud speakers, but for any other listening format Sugar doesn't match up to other Aussie acts.

Guest some random psytrance doofer. Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 not particularly interesting. He looks like such an egomaniac on stage, as well. I think the tracks on the last green ant cd of his (Third Encounter) are better than any on these, and the song he wrote which samples 2010 is good... but the only song on this that is decent is Disco Cowboy, and only because of its quirkiness.. and that track in itself isn't a dance floor song at all.... 2/10. Psy-Harmonics are *way* ahead of green ant, imo.. PEACE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jigga Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Sugar is just a basically overrated dj and very overrated producer who plays the same basic set everytime he's up on the stage. Nothings changed nothings different for the last 2 years I've known sugar. I went to this cd's launch party and admittedly I was new to psy, the party atmosphere was good (hardly any acid mind u) but I cant say anything about sugars set was memorable .. same thing with any of his sets at earthcore , rainbow serpant or any other place same O same 0. I think because at the time there were so few (big name) psy producers in melbourne Sugar came up a decided he could take the mantle and its stuck into alot of peoples heads that sugar has some good stuff .. but even those people are jaded by the fact that u can only play 'good' stuff so many times. look at fractal glider, benza, mr peculiar and space tribe for some real aussie talent. judging from fractals awesome cd launch at the latest earthcore aussie psy is definately improving. For evolving psy go to psy-harmonics (andrew till u rule!). And I agree with the guy above me, Sugar does act like ego orientated wanker on the stage. just go mp3.com and look at the one free song he's put on the site and the huge picture of himself next to it.

Guest rosjy005[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Well, err. I don't know. It's not that bad.. Some of it is average, but there a few pretty good tracks. There's a certain sound to some, like disc-1, track-1 that I love, this real creaky sort of riff, which really hits when the bass kicks in. The production isn't the best which is surprising. The green-ant compilations have always had good production. They sound excellent on my stereo's anyway, but the same tracks here have lost something, which might account partly for why it's disliked.
