Insejn Posted October 13, 2001 Author Share Posted October 13, 2001 V/A - Zoo Artist: Various Title: Zoo Label: Shaffel Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 08'05" Wizzy Noise : Acid Level 33 02. 07'09" Lemurians : Fieating And Moving 03. 07'25" Xenomorph : Sociopath 04. 06'40" Shiva And Skazi : By The Rivers ... 05. 06'49" SX : Cost Me 06. 07'38" Skazi : GTR 07. 07'55" Exaile : Tied Up 08. 07'09" Absolum : Pulse 09. 08'17" Talamasca : Thief Review: I never heard any of these tracks before. And they are good. It seems like this CD is ment for the floor. Very "stompy" and crazy at certain points. Track 1 is typical Wizzy Noise, no news hear, have you heard the Cybermancy-ablum you have heard this track. The good part is 05:15 when a fat noise starts to grind down your brain, then pause, then build up, full-on. Good one. Track 2 is not my cup of tea. It's lacking of some kind of bassline or something. Sounds choppy. Let's move on to track 3. This one is better. Nothing special tho. Just nice So much noises tearing you ears apart. Adds a scary twist in the end of the track to make you go faster. Track 4: This one is good. I don't know how to describe it really. This one is a bit different to the others so far. Much more psychedelic, not as dark as Xenomorph and Wizzy Noise. I like this one very much indeed. Track 5: It comes with a constant housy-sound-like-noise, I don't really like this one. Nothing we haven't heard before. So let us move on Track 6: This one suprised me. The guitar (GTR) in this track is one of the better I heard. So clean in some way. Oh yes.... Very crazy in the end. Not only the guitarr whos working in this track. Track 7 is also good. Psychedelic and pure. Could be a killer on the floor. Not much melodies until the end and this one will for sure make you move your feet off the ground. The melodie as constantly hanging around when noises and sound-fx is put on top of that. The melodie stops, and the sound-fx are on their on until the track ends. Good one. Track 8: Is typical Absolum. Hard bassline..those beeps and bleeps, screams and ...something. In mittle their is a pause when you don't hear anything. And suddenly it all starts againg. The end is rough and hard. I wont spoil it for you Track 9: hmm..what to say? Hard, rough sometimes. I think this is typical psytrance lol? oh well. I would recommand this CD for you AND your buddies. Rating: 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moander[at]media[dot]mit[dot]edu Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 talamasca + skazi + xenomorph = best compil I've heard in the past 3 months... MUCH better than the tribadelic comp, it's also really for playing out, not really for home listening, unless you like jumping off the walls when at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slidingtrancer Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 I just bought this wonderfull piece of music. Hulte has said all about the tracks. Highlights for me are Absolom, Talamasca, Wizzy Noise and Shiva&Skazi. Nice dark, stomping psychedelic songs compiled, killer tunes at best. Great on the dancefloor and for DJ's, but also audible whilest making homework.8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Acidhive Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Agreed, just got this in today ans it's filled with full on floor stompers. I bought it especially for Wizzy Noise and Xenomorph. Especially Wizzy Noise... Man, that track Acid Level 33 is soooo good!! Buy this if you're in for a full on ride!! 8,5/10 from me here.

akindo Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Great, modern, professional sound! The best for me are: 1,4,5,7. 8 and 9 are also good, I just had to get used to them. So, if you want to check out a great example of where psytrance is going, check this out! Yes, WAY TO GO SKAZI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 This CD is in the top 3 of the year for floor killers. Some people may not like this style for home use, but not one song on this cd would suck on the floor. Pure MDMA 2, Sub Science and Zoo, in no particular order are the best of the year. Funny, all of them have Skazi tracks. Wow, this guy is amazing and I just hope for a visit to LA. Does anyone know when a new Skazi album will be released? I still listen to Animal religiously.

Guest device6[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Damn good party comp. Those new skazi tracks (especially the one with Shiva) are sublime. One thing though. For god's sake skazi, if youre going to use guitars, then get a decent sound. These van halen riffs just dont do justice to the power of the rest of your music. Check out Godflesh or Fear Factory, the solid sound these bands have developed seems far better suited to what you are doing. Or if that seems too industrial, then perhaps something more like slayer. Otherwise, it just makes your stuff sound like cheap rock. Nonetheless, your new tracks are absolutely brilliant, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 I have to disagree with device6. Skazi's guitars kick ass and really add a lot to his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 (edited) Groundbreaking for the time... By The Rivers was my favourite, but the other big names delivered some good stuff as well. Too bad about where this all went... Edited April 4, 2006 by Basilisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaeton Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 anyone else in here spotted how wizzy noise blatantly sampled techno loops from adam beyer & marco carola in their 'acid level 33' track ? pretty interesting to see how they make a psy track out of it, but i definitely don't think it is one of their better tracks ..

Guest djclivefrog[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 This CD is the fucking action. Buy it now. Acid Level 33 on Turbo Sound FUCKING RULES!!! This is the direction psy is going, having just returnrd from Summer Dreaming 2002 (austrlaia) and heard every track on the dance floor. Thank You Skazi.

Guest djpoliisi[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 This comp and USTA's new frontiers are the 2 best compilations I've heard in a long time. Rocking sounds and SO much power on all of these tracks. I simply love it. At the moment my favourite is SX's Cost Me. Simply rockin' What else can be exepted when the comp is compiled by Skazi and released by Shaffel... And these songs are all released only in this cd...

Guest Uyetaqui Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi, I'm Anderson Uyetaqui, from Brazil. Skazi and Shiva&Skazi are the best here 8/10. Bye... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swede Indeed Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 So hard and so rough. This is among the heaviest cd:s i have heard, hard to put words on it but somehow plastic and metallic with a dirty sound? (In a good way) At least the Skazi tracks. This is going to make me buy his both albums for sure. But there is more than Skazi here: Wizzy noise makes a track that kills most of the tracks on Cybermancy wich I loved very much. The sample is well heard, I've heard it in tracks like Polaris - Serious trouble and Synthetic - The Mummy. I don't know who was first to use it and it doesn't matter. It's a cool sample. Lemurians track is quite good to. Especally at 4:15 when it gets speed and stuff. Sociopath is another great track. Insane and twisted in a minemalistic way with that cool synth towards the end. Yummy. By the rivers is a killer too. So rough, so rough with a very noisy appearance. Killer at 3:14. Cost me works for me but qualifies only like good, not awsome but nice breaks. The sample is from Mission Impossible 2 I think. Then comes my favourite: Ctr! So damn good in the Skazi way. Awsome at 5:50 with the build-up and "Heavy" just before the blow. Then it comes hard at the end too...aahh. Tied up by Exaile is another good one. Cool groove with masterend with that mean synth at the end wich "rattels" in that good way. (1/32 that sounds "wrrrraapaapapapapow" get it?). The Absolum track Pulse reminds me of Push that is on Subscience. Good pulsating track. The Talamasca track starts to be good at 4:33 and is dark and stomping for a while but in the last 1:40 it changes back to the beginning and doesn't go anywere. Pretty good track anyway. This Comp is a must-have, a pure 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Holy shit...this comp. introduced Skazi to me....what can i say but omg. To top it all off, the very next month he came to South Africa and performed live. I got 2 hear about 6 tracks from the comp. over a huge sound system, mixed by Skazi. Blew my $^@# head away, from that night....no more clubs (house music) for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
