Great (so I hear...) Good Awesome Very good!

Actually I have very little experience in that field - I just found this list on another board, and I thought I'd share it with all you music producers... But from what I can gather, yousendit.com and rapidshare.de seems to be among the most used, most reliable uploadsites...

ccL - uNLEASH tHE bEAST album

Actually I already found one... Pavel! Just kidding... I have friend who're into the lighter side of electronic music, so I'll pass it on... Or maybe even review it - if I can be bothered... I much prefer to review stuff I like... Actually I was just listening to some of the tracks whilst entering the disc data to CDDB - the Vibe Tribe remix of X-Noize's The Sperminator is quite possibly the worst thing I've heard all year... /DP

Yeah, or use it as a beer coaster.. We had the same hype going around in Denmark 10 years ago when they started the laser speed control... AFAIK it's not even remotely clost to working... Also I don't have a car, so... Hehe... I think I'm gonna pass the CD on to someone else who'll appreciate it more than me... /DP

* Vibe Tribe - Wise Cracks (Utopia 2006) Discogs down... Argh, who keeps sending me this crap? /DP

Cool... It's like show and tell now, sweet... Sounds awesome - very spoooooongy!

No - since they haven't released anything noteworthy in 2004-2006 (if you read my post again, I'm talking about recent releases). /DP

Fullmoon Mondo – Whatever You Want… 09. 07’42” Drap Drop – Drop Out .m3u-playlist: http://tinyurl.com/hrp76 (all tracks!) Review: 9 tracks, 9 subgenres of psytrance! Drap Drop consists of Diogo Yoshino (E-L5 originally from Brazil – currently label DJ for Alchemy Records) and Tsunemoto Kobayashi (DD-TUNE from Japan). This unlikely duo formed all the way back in 1999, and after only a handful of compilation tracks they are finally ready with their debut album. I’ve only ever heard one track from them – off the 2004 ELF Music compilation After 10 Years Of Japanese Trance and I though it wasn’t a stand-out track, I was fascinated with their distinct blend of full-on and sauna trance… ELF Music released the somewhat predictable Hydro Generator and Tri-Force albums in 2005, but the release of the Slum album Make Rainbow In Your Slum was a change for the better – and I’m hoping this album will continue in that direction… Let’s find out… Let me take you thru the tracks… #01: Drap Drop – Drop In [145 BPM] “Thirty kilos of marijuana…Crack cocaine is destroying our community… Booyaka, booyaka!“ First we drop in – of course! And we’re dropping right into a fast-paced, uplifting morning tune… Somewhat complex at times, but also pretty straightforward when it comes down to it… The percussion is pretty tight here and generally the guys manage to push a lot of energy forth here – without ever crossing over into boring, predictable neo full-on… Like a more full-on version of Naked Tourist… Cool indeed! #02: Drap Drop – Lights Down [145 BPM] Whereas the previous track was light and the acid-lines where sharp, this track is somewhat more subtle and funky… Groovy full-on maybe? Yeah, groovy is actually a pretty good word to describe this uplifting morning tune… Reminds me of Protoculture or Mr. Peculiar with its über-lush, strictly melodic take on sunset trance… Not as edgy as the previous track (sadly!), but it’s still a pretty sweet track… More uplifting than Viagra! #03: Drap Drop – Funny, Isn’t It? [145 BPM] “What’s going on in there? … Everyone wants to be somebody else, funny isn’t it?” Once again, we change directions and this track sounds like a full-on version of Texas Faggot, Squaremeat or similar acts… A distinct bouncing sound is present throughout most of the track and as the title suggest, this is an oddball, experimental track… Very lively and packed with energy… Definitely a track that should suit the freaks out there… And yeah, I one of those freaks… This is steaming hot! #04: Drap Drop – Seven Stars [145 BPM] And for the fourth track in a row, the guys changed their style again… This time we’re still in oddball territory, but this track has a much more electro-influenced style which crashes with the full-on melodic touch that’s also present here… Crank up the old weird-o-meter, this is definitely not your usual bunch of predictable psytrance – far from it! A totally happening track – with several really cool passages… Sadly I start to loose interest about halfway thru, and it seems this track could have benefited from even more variation…I gotta admit, that the final acid-rundown is pretty neat… It’s not bad at all; it’s just not as thrilling as the first three tracks… #05: Drap Drop – Memories (Sophisticated) [145 BPM] Halfway thru the album and it’s time for a gargantuan piece of wide-spanning, uplifting club-trance with distinct psytrance influences in the first part… But yeah, though this might be much more sophisticated than you’re average club-trance, it’s still the cheesiest track thus far… The horny female vocals seem oddly out of place and generally I have a hard time with this kind of music… Diversity wise though, I’m really impressed that the guys manage to change style once again… Musically though, I’m not impressed – especially not by the middle Tiesto part… Cheddar alert! #06: Drap Drop – It’s A Circus [145 BPM] “Look at this place – it’s a circus!” And I’ll be damned, if the guys doesn’t change style again – this time it’s hard trance! Complete with a bland, pounding bassline and twirling synths… It’s like being teleported back to 1997 when the market was flooded with German hard trance compilations… Of course we still get the Drap Drop touch with some added psytrance influences, but the vast majority of this track is pure old school hard trance… Bass in the place motherfuckers! Pretty good, but I’m beginning to miss some actual psytrance here… #07: Wrecked Machines – Smart Shop (Drap Drop Remix) [144 BPM] “They tried to deceive us, confuse us… I wouldn’t advice this. Disabling me will result in loss of primary power…She'll say anything to stop us from shutting her down. I implore you. - Implore away. - Please? Please? You're all going to die down here!” This track was originally conceived by Wrecked Machines (Gabriel Serrasqueiro) and featured on the 2004 Spirit Zone compilation Global Psychedelic Trance Vol. 10… I haven’t heard it though, so I can’t tell what was changed… What I can tell though is that this is the return to uplifting, melodic full-on psytrance… Cheesy yes, predictable yes – but there’s something refreshing about it too… And the energy level is unsurpassed here… Still not a stand-out though… #08: Drap Drop feat. Fullmoon Mondo – Whatever You Want… [146 BPM] On the next track the guys are joined by DJ Fullmoon Mondo – and once again they change direction… This is their take on dark, nocturnal night trance – and it’s not bad at all… The bassline is darker than ever and the scary, haunting atmosphere is very believable… The industrial influences are raw and gritty, and when accompanied by some wholesome acid lines it all transforms into a divine piece of Halloween trance… Fuck yeah, that’s more like it! Brilliant track! #09: Drap Drop – Drop Out [145 BPM] The last track continues in a somewhat darkish, eerie manner… But this time we’re also treated to a rich, diverse rhythm section complete with tribal drums, snare, etc… Dark, murky and totally soaked in acid and underground vibes… Extremely powerful and very trip-friendly! A great way to end a one-of-a-kind fusion album… Nicey nice! One-of-a-kind is just what this album is. The sheer level of style variation on this album is unsurpassed! In only 9 tracks (by the same artist, mind you!) we’re exposed to pretty much every single subgenre within psytrance. From druggy psytrance (#1) to pure morning trance (#2). From oddball Finnish-style experimental trance (#3) to playful electro-crash (#4). From cheesy club trance (#5) to old-school hard trance (#6). From melodic neo full-on (#7) over nocturnal darkpsy (#8) and back to tribal night trance (#9)! Holy frekkin’ wasabi overload! How cool is that!? I’ll tell you how cool - - VERY cool! This must be the most diverse artist album – ever! Sure, I have a hard time with some of the more commercial tracks, but that’s easily outweighed by the unique genre-bending concept of this album! The cover art + album concept correlates nicely and all in all this is indeed one-of-a-kind. Well done Drap Drop + ELF Music – I’m genuinely impressed! Recommended to pretty much any fan of psytrance in its many forms. Tune in, turn on and trip out! Enjoy!

He's asking for albums dude...

Looks impressive indeed... I would have lost my over view after 3-4 layers, so this is indeed impressive... But I have no idea how it sounds - how about an ultrashort sound snippet to accompany the picture?

Sad indeed... If this turns into a mp3/pirate thread, I'll close or moderate it ASAP... /DP

All the essential old-school albums have already been mentioned... So here's some recommendations from recent years. I've tried to compile my lists with stuff that's not already been mentioned - that's why I've got so little Twisted releases on my list... Progressive: Perfect Stranger – Learning = Change (2006) FREq - Strange Attractor (2004) P.O.T.S. – Creating Social Success (2005) Kooler - Open (2004) Meller - Rockable (2005) Melodic: Derango - Tumult (2005) The Misted Muppet - From The Legend (2004) Tron - Existence (2006) Filteria - Heliopolis (2006) Voice Of Cod - We Are Free (2005) Essential cross-over: Tegma - Around The World In 80 Minutes (2006) Artifakt – Artifakts II (2005) Juno Reactor - Labyrinth (2004) Shpongle - Nothing Lasts...

Network - Distances (2004) Kaya Project - Walking Through (2004) Solar Fields - Leaving Home (2005) Capsula - Synthesis Of Reality (2005) Entheogenic - Dialogue Of The Speakers (2005) /DP

Well, Basilisk prides himself in writing about stuff that he has had time to fully listen to... Something that I myself have problems with from time to time - and something that the mp3-reviewers (*cough*) also could learn from...

Yeah, I've often thought about that myself... I've even started a couple of reviews, but never got around to finishing them... Somehow I always have a pile of new stuff that needs to be reviewed, and obviously that keeps pushing back the 'oldies'... But I still intent to do it occasionally... Promise! Dude, what are you talking about? Basilisk is one of the most active reviewers we have - search his history and you'll find tons of indepht, well-written reviews from his hand... There's nothing wrong with a little constructive critisism and ideas for improvement - especially not since it's coming from Scott, one of the old-timer reviewers I respect the most... /DP

You guys are cute when you're acting all mysterious...
