Right back at you Faze... You always bring positive vibes to Psynews (something that is often needed) and for that we're grateful...

2006 has had quite a few great, great releases... I'm very positive about the future of the genre, though obviously the output is MUCH bigger now than 10 years ago... So yeah, it requires some more digging to find the good stuff. But it's there... Most definitely!

Review: O.O.O.O.H MY GOD!!1! Now here's an album I've been eagerly awaiting ever since it was first released more than a year ago… As far back as I can remember I've been a big fan of the O.O.O.D./Unconscious Collective output – and I totally loved the Voice Of Cod album We Are Free released last year. That's right, I'm a fanboy and I'm so excited that I just can't hide it. I'm about to loose control and I think I like it… Errhm… *Blush* The O.O.O.D. collective consists of UK nutters Stephen Callaghan, Ramsay Melhuish, Ryokan Potier & Colin Bennun. These guys are trance dinosaurs and as O.O.O.D. and Unconscious Collective they've released two wonderful albums + a ton of EPs and compilation tracks during the last 12 years… The line-up has changed over the years, but the central hippy-trance-easygoing dogma of the collective remains as strong as ever. This third album has been six years in the making which must be some kind of record… It's released by high-quality UK label Organic Records – so we know the platform is class A. …Anyway, let's get on with the fun part. The music: Let me take you thru the tracks… #01: Welcome The initial skit works as extended intro to the already familiar Free Range track… A witty piss-take setting it up what's about to unfold… #02: Free Range This track was released on the Organic Records compilation Invasion From Hyperspace in 2005. Here's a slightly rewritten recap of what I wrote about it back then: This track starts out with radio static, pop-chords and funky guitars… Not unlike groovy French filter house a la Kojak. And you'll probably wonder if you put on the right CD!? Soon after a particularly well-executed bassline hits your ears – alongside a buzzing synth-pad and some crackling percussion… I like the uplifting melodies, but generally I like my psy a little harder and with fewer guitars than this… But it's still a swell track and especially the last couple of minutes are nice… #03: Smoke A Lot (Ricochet Mix) "Everything going adequately? Very adequately sir, I'm virtually bursting with adequatulence!" As the title subtly suggests, this track is all about lighting up, taking a big puff and copping out… It starts as a laidback dubby choon covered in smoke, but before you know it the good old-fashioned trance kicks in for a while… But soon the lazy, hazy dub vibe is predominant again – only to be wrestled by the trance vibe once more… What a l33t crossover combo! Bursting with energy this track is cracking one stoned smile after another… "Why do you smoke marijuana? It's really very simple. I smoke it because I enjoy it. It doesn't worry you that you're breaking the law? Sure it worries me. I mean, it worries me because I don't want to get caught. I don't want to go to jail for something that I consider a pleasure and harmless to both society and myself. I'm not hurting anybody. I'm not hurting myself. Why should I be punished for it?" Extra points in my cool-book for the advanced synth exploration, the consequential quotes and the tiny icing-on-the-cake details such as the genious shotgun-click which is perfectly incorporated into the percussion. Yiiiiiiiha! This is simply wonderful! #04: The Humming "Those Freaking elves man, they just came out of the trees, man, they just came out of the trees!" This track was released by Revolver Magazine in the summer of 2006 as an early album teaser… We kick things in gear with a quote by Rice Krispie Guy from Family Guy… The twirling melodies are soon brutally interrupted by a banging technoid bassline and some proper psychedelic quirks and a happy acid ending… So yeah, this is the hardest, fastest track thus far galloping away at an incredible speed – though never loosing touch with reality… Some kind of unprecedented UK-version of psy-tekk without the usually boring, minimalist approach… That's right; this is full-on tech-trance with an acid twist! Wonderfully executed and destined to cause absolute havoc on the floors…. Ace! #05: Solar Sway "Four and one half billion years ago, the planets were formed in the gravitational collapse of a great cloud of swirling gas and dust. In that collapse the gravitational energy of this gas and dust falling inwards heated the planets as they formed. Jupiter and Saturn have not yet cooled off." Enter the space bass haze craze tranceoid fusion jazz bonanza! This is an easy-going hybrid track that fuses all kinds of elements from ethno downbeat, over old-school melodic trance to floating future jazz... Nice and lively… Not the biggest dance floor anthem, but a sleek transition tool and a tasty home listening treat… Simple in all its complexity. #06: …But Handy! Another short skit… Revealing the proper pronunciation of O.O.O.D. =) #07: Oh My (Good Golly Me) The next track continues the somewhat laidback style Solar Sway started… Don't get me wrong, this gets pretty fast eventually, but there's an overall chilled, relaxed vibe through this track… A subtle groover, a steady funk-bomb and a very pleasant trance back-burner… One third through the pace has quickened and more FX are added slowly, and we eventually end up with a lush, well-balanced mix of rich psytrance with immediate smile-qualities… Reminds me a great deal of Prometheus this one. Lovely! #08: Marijuajuan "Acquiring marijuana. There are four basic methods of acquiring marijuana: buying it, growing it, receiving it as a gift, and stealing it!" That's right – and this funky little number will take you thru all of them. It's the pot smokers bible put into funky chords. And by funk, I really mean funk – this is the quintessential oddball track of the album with a very distinct, hypnotizing filter house bassline running for entire length. Deep, filtered, groovy and totally housey… Packed to the rim with humorous weed samples and weird loops, cuts and breaks. Add an unsane splash of O.O.O.D. antics into the mix and you've got a winner. Something completely unique here – and it works like a charm. Puff, puff, giiiiiiiiive… #09: Rock My Soul (Joker Vs. Operator Mix) "What listing? Batman! Thank you; please wait while an operator looks… I'm sorry, what listing? Batman! Aha, is that Manhattan? Gotham City! Gotham City, where is that, which city? Manhattan! Oh, Manhattan. Batman! Residence! Residential – thank you. You have his first name? Bruce! […] Sorry, show no listing. How about just Batman? Errm, I don't have anything for just Batman. Nothing residential. He lives in a lair. Wayne Manor! Yeah you know, I don't have anything on Wayne Manor either sir. Batman? Yeah! Batman! I'm sorry! Batman! I guess, you know, he's not listed! I know. Yeah. I'll find him. Ok, well good luck. I'll track him down with all my hatred. Uh, ok, good luck with that. Bye! " Another fun-filled track here which starts with a funny prank call establishing that Batman is not listed… Well, that figures! Anyway, this is a real wide-spanning tune… Bouncy, twirly and full of life… The last couple of epic minutes are pure bliss. Audio orgasm! The feel good factor has gone thru the roof! The groove is still an important factor, but the familiar psy-trance elements play a bigger role now… We're still not in the 'dancefloor fire starter' category, but for sofa trancing this is as good as it gets. Exquisite! #10: Blue Seal And now it's time for some sample-free, straight-to-the-point, deeply focussed, advanced trance music… That's right; this one caters for the dancefloor. It slowly builds to a frenzy of epic proportions. The progression is simply jaw dropping and this is in essence a beautifully crafted, mesmerizing piece of enchanted trance music. Gorgeous hands-in-the-air stadium trance with rich psytrance influences … Eat this Tïesto! #11: It Isn't Just You… Another short skit. This time a mysterious, eerie one. Letting you catch your breath before the O.O.O.D. steam roller of trance hits you again. #12: Eye Of The Beholder And if you weren't already convinced… This one *will* blow you away! Remember the good old days when wholesome trance music swept you off your feet and catapulted you into other dimensions? Well, this track does that. This is, hands down, the best track here. The instant monster hit. The feel good choon of the year! An incredibly well-produced track made in cahoots with legendary Ott. It's absolutely packed to the rim, wall-to-wall maximal trance music… Soaked in huge melodies, entrenched in acid and absolutely drenched in one uplifting pad after another… Will have you dancing for days, sweating for weeks and smiling for years! Words don't really do it justice. In short, the opus magnum O.O.O.D. track post 2000 AD! Perfection! #13: We Love You "You have one message. We just wanted to say something. Ehh. Ok. We loooove youuuu! We're missing you. We love you. We're missing you. Ok, bye!" Awww… How sweet is this answering machine message? We love you too! As you've probably guessed this is a fantastic album… I'll tell you why: The musical diversity is grander than most trance albums. It's a cornucopia of styles confined within, but not limited to, a framework of trance music with psychedelic elements. The years of production time does not go by unnoticed. Each and every track is a testament to just how much time, work, passion, dedication and love that went into them. Breaking boundaries and building bridges. Listening to this is like going on a treasure hunt – and the best part is that you'll come out greatly rewarded. It's one amazing track after another – and there's nothing even slightly close to a mediocre track here. The production is to die for and the 'real artwork' by Vladimir Kush is stunning. Trust me on this – this CD is going to spend an awful lot of time in your CD player… It has in mine and I'm nowhere near done with it. Definitely one of the top releases of 2006 – and as such it gets my warmest, most heartfelt recommendations. An essential purchase for any serious music lover. Enjoy!

My head feels like a frisbee...

Hell yeah, Eat Static rules... I haven't got as much of their music as I'd like, but I'm slowly getting there. Just ordered a bunch of CDMs. Should arrive shortly. What's extra great is that their output never seems to decrease in quality. The TIP.World comp. tracks + the Koxbox collaboration tracks from 2006 are fucking stellar!

The Misted Muppet(s) split up. It's only Dagan now - and he's been working on a new album for a while... Ypsilon 5 - I have no idea. No new material has surfaced since the track on Apsara in 2005. Maybe Kalle from Tranceform has some info? Talpa - The odd compilation track since the debut album. No new info I'm afraid.

In psychology, egocentrism is the characteristic of regarding oneself and one's own opinions or interests as most important. The term derives from the Greek egô, meaning "I." An egocentric person has no theory of mind, cannot "put himself in other people's shoes," and believes everyone sees what he sees (or that what he sees in some way exceeds what others see.) Congratulations.
