Electrypnose - Magnetic Memoirs [Volume 2] (Goa Records, DARKSTAR) 2010 (GOAREC012)

Electrypnose, the artist with the hard name to remember, how to spell and pronounce has since his debut release ‘Brain Stretching’ from 2005 on ResonantEarth.com been one of the worlds most sought after artist because of his unique feeling and approach to create mind boggling psychedelic trance music with a lot of melancholic vibe and subliminal energy. And as proven a couple of times, an absolute must hear down-tempo artist with praised releases like ‘Subliminal Melancholies’ released on Ajana and ‘Sweet Sadness’ released on Suntrip. This is an artist with a lot of quantity whilst keeping the quality intact – Both in Up- and Downtempo.

The name Electrypnose is said to be a combination of the two words ‘Electric’ and ‘Hypnosis’. For sure the music he creates is electric and many tracks got a very hypnotic feel to them. One of the labels which Electrypnose has been massively represented on is the SF, US based label Geomagnetic.TV and their sub labels like Goa Records, DARKSTAR which is highly active pumping out loads of psychedelic trance expressions. One of their gimmicks which are fun and nice in my opinion is their Magnetic Memoirs series where they gather all the compilation tracks of one selected artist and tries by putting them nicely arranged on one album to create a coherent flow and evolution. Well done Spook!

The tracks represented on Electrypnose – Magnetic Memoirs is a nice collection of single tracks by Electrypnose (Vincent Rybicki) himself as well as together with other artists like YabYum, Chromatone, Energy Loop and of course Karash whom he together with Noon created the ‘Cerebral Factory’ project. This is a compilation album with 10 hard knocking tracks that will make your blood rush and heart pump in 137 to 150 Beats Per minute. Some of the tracks are wild and stressful while others are calmer and more subtle psychedelic and pleasant in path and flight. The artwork is fittingly blue and electric with spotlights and electric currents making the decoration. The overall flow is very nice and if you are a fan of this artist and would like to have a gathering of his more obscure tracks which is both similar and slightly off the normal Electrypnose style, this is a release not to be missed. It has some very nice tracks boarding to the gem section and it is a nice testament to Electrypnoses enrolment in the Geomagnetic.TV’s history.

Favorite Tracks:

1 ** nice and all but the rough chainsaw synth kills it for me.

2 ***** Really nice flow and I do like those squeaking sounds that just floats nicely in the freeze, plus it has a nice changing in the style at the end minutes which is cool.

3 *** Nice twisters. Sort of stressing full power. Too much for me with too many lifts and breaks.

4 ** Nice and boring, didn’t catch much of my attention.

5 *** Nice trumpets and essential Electrypnose scratching.

6 **** Nice bleeps and calm path with some rugged sounds squiring along a demented river.

7 *** Nice and sort of standstill boring with cute computer noises. Extra point for the end part with the disturbed melody.

8 *** Hard, nice, energetic and crazy with rolling bass lines that got a Déjà vu feeling..

9 **** Insane stuff, very nice! Maybe a bit too much but something in this insanity clicks.

10 ***** Sweet and nice intro, a more relaxed tune in this compilations slowest track. A good and beautiful last track to end a nice album with loads of impressions.

Score: 3.4 / 5
