Review:

 

This was unexpected. Released on Visoion Quest from Japan.

As you see it's a pretty heavy album. And thats exactly what it is.

And it's minimal. Maybe you already heard some of these tracks. And

yet again i'm not a minimal digger. But some tracks are pretty good.

Everything (almost) sounds like X-Dream newer stuff or The Delta. And gets

boring after a while. Anyway...The best track is x-dream - inter-corporal

stimulator.

I hope the new album from X-Dream will sound more like that and less then

Irritant.

If you like dark minimal you will like this.

Final Verdict: 6/10

Look @ the line-up!!! Overall I do not like mixed discs, but this is an

exception. All tracks flow nicely and this is a very hard night set to sink

your teeth into. If you like deep, pulsating nacht musik - this is for you.

I would have preferred 10 unreleased tracks - but i guess this is the 1st time

most of these trax are available on CD, and X-Dreams' mixing skills are quite

tight. This is what 1am - 4am at a party should sound like - full + deep +

meaty - 8.5/10 -BRING IT BACK!

btw, arne from midimiliz actually chose the tracks and did the mixing, not

x-dream, despite what it says in the liner notes. killer cd if you like this

style. also a stroke of marketing genius. this cd came out before the big

visionquest festival last summer, together with party flyer inside the case.

they flooded the stores with these, sold thousands before the party, got close

to 10,000 people, and made well over 1 million dollars at a single party!

I don't have this CD but I have almost all the songs featured here and I

personaly think they are THE BOMB!!!!!! I play a lot of MidiMiliz, The Delta

and Spirallianz in my set, so I can't say this isn't a great compill. Might be

a little minimal but it's also pretty hard and heavy stuff. Killer Night Stuff

on this CD, it'll make you travell straight to a dark cave or betwen rusty

industrial machines.
