Reckless, crazed, inspired and damn good when it is on its game. And that cover, c'mon, you can probably stare at that thing for hours and still notice something new the next you glance upon it.

 

At its most over-the-top, "10 Wonder Drops" can be pretty common and quite silly, very easy to dismiss out-of-hand on certain tracks (Electric Mirror, Pantomiman). However, even when it is all over the place some of its insanity very nearly comes up with something quite brilliant (Peace-Ka Vs Module Virus) and it is not often that one can say that a track within the twilight style can get better with repeat listens. But this one may.

 

Props to the always dependable Dissociactive for the solid "Polzuushie Puziri" opener wherein the lines are neatly drawn and none of the elements run together. It is a very clean, well-produced piece of work and nearly comes away with honors for best of this bunch.

 

For the sake of madness and all things wonderfully bonkers, the dance floor bombs presented by Mole, Organic Hybrid and Smoke Ship vs Whiptongue drive the energy of this compilation far past safe levels. All are peak-hour pieces of full-on bliss.

 

Module Virus' solo effort on "Neurodrastik" came across as a highlight on first listen but seemed to lose some of its punch on the second go around.

 

The crowning jewel of this collection, however, comes on Red's "Laiman Beta," a track that gets better and better each time it is heard. On this piece of creative mastery, the BPMs are brought down to a normalized level, fitting everything quite nicely into a very enjoyable full-on package. The icing, though, are the effects. While quite nice is the pacing and all the creative synth work, the very tantalizing layers are even better.

 

Delicious forest frequencies in full-on tracks - going forward perhaps it should be more commonplace. "Laiman Beta" is a grand piece of work!

 

A solid compilation that gets better and more bombastic as it gets deeper into its playlist before finishing with a track that may, with time, turn out to be a masterpiece. "10 Wonder Drops" may be overstating things just a little bit but I can get behind saying at least five of these productions are worthy of awe.

Dissociactive and Sorrowmurk (a former project member) have been two of my best (late) discoveries in recent months:
