Guinea Pigs are Avi & Shalom Sagges, two psychoactive brothers from the Holy Land. They are deeply loved and respected by party goers and cutting-edge psytrance musicians all over the world. Nobody can stand still and resist dancing to their music with a bright smile, yet it does not fall under any existing musical style. It is intelligent and complex, but also easily understood by anyone. It's fast, hard and pumping, but feels very fun and cheerful. It does not matter which area of the brain you developed before introduction to Guinea Pigs, it does not matter if it is day or night, Guinea Pigs are guaranteed to take the main stage. This amazing combination creates a fresh and unique style of intelligent psychedelic dance floor music. Mastering by Tim Schuldt marks this album as the milestone in the development of trance culture. When those two Israelis say "prepare to dig" consider yourself warned, you know you will!

 

Here is a review by Mushroom Magazine (October 2006 issue):

Those two nutters from Israel, Avi and Shalom Sagges, have succeeded in bringing us a diversified trip with the brave goal to bridge the gap between the dark nighttime sound, the twilight and the morning hysteria. Did I even notice housey elements? This album rocks, never bores me and spreads a healthy dose of humour that I am now infected with. Guaranteed fun and my strongest recommendation to almost everybody with an open minded taste in music.

GUINEA PIGS – NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS (ZAIKADELIC RECORDS)

 

Stompers ahoy! Guinea Pigs are brothers Avi Sagges and Shalom Sagges from Israel and this is their debut, the second release from Tel-Aviv based Zaikadelic Records. Nine soaring, searing highly twisted psychedelic tunes perfect for night-time shenanigans and a couple for the morning. Ranging from 147 to 150 bpm, the album opens up with Have a Nice Flight, a nice rolling bassline and stompy acidic sounds in a hard morning style. Don’t Be a Puppet delves into some deeper psychedelic areas. A total lose-it number guaranteed to make you do those funny hand movements while you dance. Lovely energy, which carries on with New Type of Drug, another bouncer with plenty of acid squiggles to keep your thoughts dancing with your body. Crowd Control delivers more, slightly harder-edged energy to flail around the dance floor. Voyage picks you up in the maelstrom, spins you around and spits you out on the other side. An absolute banger! Time to reassess any damage to neurons with Damage Check, and probably damage few more in the process. The album closer, Goodbye Sanity does what it says, a brooding mash up, and the dirtiest track on the album. Absolutely storming. Well, all in all, a cracking debut, fans of nocturnal sounds will like this one a lot. I hope to hear more stuff from them in the future.
