Jon - the search string "V/A" is too short... I think it has to be more than 4 characters or something... I agree that the search is a bit wobbly at times, but with the right combinations you should be able to find most things - especially if you use the Advanced Usage Help (click link that appears, for more search options...) /DP

Procs – Stuck In The Oven With Me Artist: Procs (Sweden) Title: Stuck In The Oven With Me Format: CD (jewel case) Label: Trishula Records (Germany) Cat. #: TRISHCD006 Distribution: Arabesque Date: 28 November 2005 Track listing: 01. 07’38” Gluffsing The Pop 02. 07’38” Mr. Bängrot Rides Again 03. 07’35” The Tailnissers Tale (Moffy Mix) 04. 07’51” Gelatom Megafon 05. 10’17” Overtures From The Oven 06. 08’20” Samsonited 07. 08’00” Pogo Pedagog 08. 07’12” Sub Glob 09. 06’56” Buforsk Normal + Hidden track after three minutes of silence 10. 02’48” Untitled Review: What evil lurks…? The debut album from Procs (Mikael Stegman) is the 6th release from German dark-trance label Trishula Records… And with Stuck In The Oven With Me, the label is venturing further into shroomy forest trance territory… Ever since I heard the first Procs/Peyote People tracks on Scrambled Heads back in 2001 I’ve been a fan of Mikke Stegman’s work… And recently, I’ve drooled over both his Procs and Duck Off compilation tracks – they’ve all been stand-outs, so I’ve been eagerly awaiting the debut album by this Swedish sound sorcerer… Let me take you thru the tracks… #01: Gluffsing The Pop AFAIK this track was made almost four years ago, but who cares, it’s sizzling hot! After a short, spooky intro we’re exposed to a brutal, heavily filtered bassline… And that’s the meanest thing I’ve heard since the last Schlabbaduerst compilation… The naïve, simple melodies in the background strike a remarkable contrast to the deep bass – and that elevates the track into higher spheres… I mean, I dare anyone not to be hypnotized by those enchanting melodies and that evil bassline… Damn – this track is so freaking hardcore, that it makes me write Engrish… Amazing! #02: Mr. Bängrot Rides Again I’m not that familiar with Swedish folklore, but something tells me that Mr. Bängrot deals in lobotomies! Auch! And yeah – this will mess with your brain! Hard-hitting, gut-wrenching, foot-moving, mind-expanding night trance…As eerie as it is energetic… This is an express ride of a track moving at an incredible speed – passing Finland, Australia and India – before winding up back in Sweden… Watch out – the creepy accordion might suck you in… Anyway, this is an intense track, but not as hypnotizing as the previous one… #03: The Tailnissers Tale (Moffy Mix) Another older track – given the Moffy treatment! Oh my, this is dark, pounding relentless night trance – with a majestic, orchestral glory to it… Kinda like The Misted Muppet meets The Delta… Instantly spooky yet strangely appealing… Horrific! After a while, Mikke pays homage to Metallica’s Frantic track of the St. Anger album… Listen @ 3’59 and you’ll understand what I’m talking about… ‘Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock’! A solid track, though I feel the general consensus kinda fades halfway thru…;/ #04: Gelatom Megafon Another orchestral intro which soon evolves into a tour de force of Hitchcock’esque nerve-wrecking odd-ball trance… Bizarre, perverted and totally avant-garde… I mean – just check out the horns… Very abstract! In that sense, this is one of the least-accessible tracks here, but I’m sure this will be a hit with fans of Suomi trance and other freaks… Despite repeated listens, I still haven’t fully absorbed this track – but I’m sure I’ll come around eventually… #05: Overtures From The Oven Now check out this soundtrack to the carnival of the damned… The intensity level rises and you can now cut the eerie atmosphere with a knife… This is highly demented saiko-trance – and I can vividly picture freaks from a lunatic asylum dancing their asses of to this… Very, very unique stuff here – multilayered, fragmented and extremely atmospheric… It really creeps me out… But I like getting scared… Wikkid! #06: Samsonited And now it’s time for some suitcase trance… And this is where Procs gets down to the nitty-gritty… And by that, I mean industrial-slash technoid pounding night-trance… Still very Halloween like, and eerie as hell, but much more pounding than some of the previous tracks… Like Spirallianz on LSD wearing a hockey mask and sporting a chainsaw… And a suitcase full of weaponry! Hardcore, beastly stuff – in the best possible way! #07: Pogo Pedagog Return of the peyote people! Yes, this is where it gets reeaaaaaally psychedelic… I mean, this has nothing on Derango… It’s equally shroom-a-delic and very trip-friendly! Literally hundreds of twisted, distorted, demented little melodies are twirling about all over this track… Acid bits are thrown in to mess with your senses and overall this is one hell of a trip tool… The title translates into something similar to ‘kindergarten/nursery teacher with pogo stick’… And yeah, I guess after that translation there is really nothing more to say... Except: Kick-ass track! #08: Sub Glob And now it just gets plain weird… Uncanny even! A highly fragmented, deeply strange track – that could easily have been produced in Finland or the weirder part of Australia… It’s fast-paced odd-ball trance which may be a bit too hectic for me… Maybe! #09: Buforsk Normal We’re back on track with this hard-hitting, ass-wiggle friendly closing track… Again, the good old psychedelia meter has been cranked up, and once again we’re deep in the dark Swedish forests tripping hard on shrooms… The many funny samples remind me of older Procs material – great! A great, unique, trippy track… Brilliant! #10: Untitled (Hidden track) “I didn't want to come to this institution but my brother insisted. I can see no sense in it myself. You see, I'm convinced that I'm not suffering from any hallucination but, that my guilt is really real. I know Dr. Edwards that I killed my daughter and that I'm willing to pay the penalty for it… Come in!” Hidden after three minutes of silence is an extra little titbit… More severely demented Procs madness… And oh yes, this is some crazy shit – and that’s meant as superlatives! A nice added bonus… The ending is ripe! How do you like them apples? Well, to put it short, this album wasn’t all that I had hoped it would be… But my expectations were maybe too high, I dunno… I don’t think the tracks here are as good as some of Procs previous compilation tracks… But hey, don’t get me wrong – this is still a VERY nice album… And on the psychedelia front this is indeed one of the best releases of 2005 – only topped by the Derango album and the latest Parvati compilation… So, it’s not bad at all…It’s just not as amazing as I’d hoped for… Whereas the production sounds sweet, I had a hard time appreciating the artwork here… It’s made by Stegman himself, and I guess somehow it fits the oddball theme of the music… But it’s not pretty! Anyway, that’s not really important. The music is however - and I cannot even begin to think how many creative hours Stegman invested in this… I mean, this is not just psychedelic – it’s über-mind-boggling psychedelic… Very impressive! Fans of genre-bending, extremist, oddball night trance will most likely take well to this… Purists and 4/4 trance elitists might wanna look elsewhere! I dig it though – and would recommend it to fans of the above mentioned style… Enjoy! Favourites: 1(!), 5, 7(!), 9(!!)

"Back To Blighty" isn't on Pulse 5 dude... /DP

Korean psychedelic guys... *giggle*

Diversity rules! Well done Tats!

Yeah man, he's number #1 in the charts over there... Allegedly!

Haha! Great parody! But I like St. Anger... Especially the two singles... I think it was a breath of fresh air, but I know it left many dissapointed...

Procs, Procs and more Procs... It's the album!

We were hacked... Mars took the reviews down for a while until a more secure method of display is found... They'll be back, don't worry! Yeah man, just click your name and you'll find those options http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?ac...alluser&mid=523 (All your posts!) http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?ac...icsuser&mid=523 (All threads started by you!) /DP

St. Anger album... Somehow listening to the Procs album, I had the urge to listen to this... /DP

Wow - whan an awesome track Cybernetika... Sadly I don't know it, though I feel I can hear traits of both Etnica/Pleiadians, Koxbox and Shidapu in there - which is like three different countries... Argh! Get Anoebis, Draeke or Space Mushi on the case... They know this kind of music inside and out...

Not at all... Go ahead!

Changed my vote...

Well over 200... And my ass is more broke than ever...

1. CDs that spinned in your CD-player the most (artist albums). Tough one... I go thru at least 10 CDs a day... But among the ones who've gotten the most playtime are System Of A Down - Mesmerize and Voice Of Cod - We Are Free 2. CDs that spinned in your CD-player the most (compilations). ALittle Lunacy (Ketuh Records)... Not because it was the best one of 2005, but because it was one of the only psy-compilations I had whilst being in the US for 2 months... I didn't bring my CDs, but a few labels were kind enough to ship me new stuff whilst I was over there... 3. Best label. Tribal Vision Records Peak Records Iboga Records Ultimae Records 4. Live acts that impressed you the most. I didn't go to too many parties this year... Only a couple... And the one that impressed me the most wasn't psy... But indie rockers Kashmir 5. Live acts that disapointed you. - 6. DJs sets that rocked your dancefloor. Danny Tenaglia @ Crobar, New York City DJ Pr0fane @ Middle Earth festival 7. DJs sets that made you leave the dancefloor. - 8. Best party. Two months of non-stop partying in the US... Loads of smaller, local parties here in Aalborg with close friends... 9. Best festival. Middle Earth festival, Denmark 10. Best deco. Middle Earth - various people... 11. Best drink/beverage. Jägerbombs 12. Best drug/trip. LSD + MDMA excursions this summer... 13. Best moment/experience. The entire USA trip... Amazing! 14. Worst moment/experience. Failure to get to dream-job... 15. Best non-psy. SOAD, Franz Ferdinand, Rammstein, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Sigur Rós, etc... /DP

* Ajja: Part of the Peak Records posse - When it's Ajja, it's the chill division! * Double Impact: Crrrrrrrrap! Released the worst album of 2002! Avoid! * EVP: Trippy, magical, acid-ridden old-school underground psytrance... VERY good! * JellyHeadz: Dark, twisted night-trance... Good, but not among the best within the genre * Reality grid: Dark, psychedelic night-trance - multilayered and soaked in acid... Kinda like EVP and almost as good * Yab Yum: Oh man - These are the Peak Records label bosses Ajja S.F. Leu & DJ Gaspard - and every single compilation track I've heard from these guys have been AMAZING... Seriously, they RULE... Deeply tribal, twisted, darkish psytrance - riddled with acid and breaks, build-ups and climaxes... Should be the best act of the night! Look forward to it! The rest I don't know... /DP
