Review:

 

I have been listening to this CD for a couple of days now and I can only

say that its getting better and better. It has a lot of atmosphere right

through, based upon an hard core with beats. I guess if you like Mahasukas

DJ sets (who doesnt? ) and progressive, atmospheric trance this is

something for you. I love all the tracks, they are all similar, but

different. Not one of the tracks sounds the same but you still recognize

the atmosphere all the way through the record. There´s only one track tha I

don´t like, and that is the 7:th, it feels like it doesnt fit in.

Conclusion.

I think this is one the best compilations of the year in the

progressive/psychedelic genre. If you like atmos, vibrasphere, planet ben

or similar artists then get this one. The production and mastering are also

very clean and professional.

I give this 8+ out of 10

Not as good as number 3 but good nonetheless. I reckon I am one of the first in

Oz to have it!!! I love this series, I only wish there was some human blue &

some noma but I guess that would be repetitive wouldn't it?

I can't give this a mark yet as i've only listened to it while I've been mixing

and not as a compilation on it's own

[Guest Syre]

In two words: Awesome compilation. Highligts are: Native Radio - Neuromancer is

one of their best tracks, and that says a lot. Der Grosse Kumpo delivers a

extraordinary good pumping track which has been unreleased for ages. Morganixx

"Egal" is a killer too and Adrenochrome keeps the its good name intact.

Minimal psy trance at its best.

Well, I was surprised to find this in a store, so I picked it up right away,

and have no regrets. It is a Vibration after all, and is no let down from

where 2 and 3 left off. Excellent progressive tracks throughout, and a fair

share of new artists. Best tracks come from Morgannix, P.O.T.S., Exanimo, and

Native Radio. The rest are still superb...except for the Adrenochrome track,

which is still good, but doesn't fit in somehow, as the first reviewer said.

 

Also need to point out that the Morganixx track, is extra extra good...do they

have any relation to magnetrixx? what's with all groups that have x's in

their names?...not that im against it

 

Overall, 8.5/10

[Guest macro]

i think the best vibration .....my one of my favorites ( der große kumbo)is

released on it.....m -sphere is the only track i dont like ....to soft for

me...but if u like minimal/progressive-trance ..get this !!!

[Guest me[at]dreamer[dot]co[dot]il]

tracks 1 and 7 alone worth buying this one. excellent release.

[Guest Acidhive]

Great release here!! After the superb Vibration 3 I thought Medium couldn't top

this (and Stereoide didn't, though it was pretty good also) but this... man,

this is pure progressive heaven!! From track 1 up to track 8 this is stunning

...!! Especially the first 3 tracks are soooo superb, with a special mention

for DJ Exanimo... bring it home dude!! Wow, that bassline, the percussions,

everything perfectly in check and suddenly that lovely string on top... WOW!!!

9/10 for the comp here... And if anyone has a little taste for their

psytrance, they'll buy this!! Keep up the good work Medium!

[freak51]

Pretty standard progressive psy-trance; get it if you need some. The last

track is very flamante morning-trance, just like 1996 again. Not my cup of

tea, but those who are into it, you know who you are.

[Setsuko]

... this release is so great ... one of my favourite progressive cd's in my

collection . the tracks are made with the heart imo , i mean ... every tracks

has this kind of emotions , very smooth synthlines on extremely warm and

beautiful groovy bass-structures . Oh yeah , before i mention my favourites i

must admit that the quality is fabulous ... great work BIM . inside the cd you

can read 'COPY KILLS YOUR MUSIC' in huge letters , some of you might think

it's undue but you must confess this is the truth. ... so to all the mp3

collectors , you miss half of the 'vibrations' while listening to any

ridiculous bitrate . highlights on the cd are : 1,2,3,5 and 7 .... get this

!!! psychedelic rating 9,5/10 ...?

[Guest kadafi]

copy kills your music: this couldn't be more true! the wave is overall very

touchy in the progressive meaning of the word of course: subtle and easy for

the mind and has much more feeling and beauty then Stereoide. This

compilation makes me feel like i'm in paradise grooving at the smoothest

moments before and while sunrise... Hoorrray for dj Bim!! The first two are

just perfect!! Gentle percussion nice lyrics on pure soundwaves from Native

Radio, followed by Exanimo with a more bouncy, happy tune.....so 10/10 for

these two and a 9,5 for that warm and tribal Morganixx ...no bad ones

here... 89%
