Finally you're talking some sense... On second thought - discard my statement above... O RLY?

No - that can't be true! No-one will pay that amount for it! Not even IFO or Luciana sells for that much!

Right - how did I miss that? Thanks for the lecture...

Behold the very first psytrance release from Argentina! That’s right – Argentina! Visionary labels Transition Records and Dark Prisma Records have teamed up to showcase the best Argentinean psytrance… From looking at the tracklist, only Megalopsy looks familiar to me, but the promotional info reveals that those talented cowboys are involved in several tracks here… So I’m guessing we’re in for a treat… Let’s find out! Let me take you thru the tracks… #01: Prismatix – Preludio [120 BPM] We kick things in gear by a short prelude from Jorge Uema (Pragmatix) & Nicolás Di Bernado (Prisma ~ Filter from Megalopsy). Basically, this is a downtempo emotional piece… Cleaning the pipes and setting the mood… The murky atmosphere is brewing and you sense a dark Sith lord lurking around somewhere… #02: Frantic Noise – Blues Brothers (Twist Remix) [141 BPM] This is solo project of z1P (Matías Benamo) from Megalopsy… Although kept within a framework of night-time trance, this is still pretty melodic and somewhat uplifting… We start with a robotic voice sample – and then the melodies start emerging… Pretty simple, but strangely effective and hypnotizing… Full-on in structure, but with enough twists and turns to maintain a psychedelic edge… Packed to the rim with arpeggios and high-pitched synth-action which is pretty sweet – and I gave up counting the layers here… There are loads! Nice stuff, though somewhat lacking ‘bite’… #03: Prismatix – Tallarins With Tea [138 BPM] Jorge & Nicolás in cahoots again here… The orchestral break-down intro is pretty sweet – and those playful, simple bleeps are pretty fucking sweet in all their simplicity… Yeah, we’ve upped the trip-factor a little here – this is very shroomy! Also the breakz and the morphs really make this track stand out from the crowd! I like how the guys are really experimenting here – it works like a charm! A very unique, transcending track… Kick-ass track! #04: Pragmatix – Relacion De Esencias [143 BPM] “We’re sending you back to the future!” This is 20-year old Jorge Uema from Buenos Aires – describing the relations of essence… I’m sure there’s some deeper psychological meaning to that, but that’s really besides the point… What’s interesting about this is the music – and this kid knows his shit… This is a very, very atmospheric track… It’s both shady and mysterious – and uplifting and smiling! A very nicely done hybrid – rich in textures and with constant twists… Impressive! #05: Cosmos Vibrations – Genoma [143 BPM] This is the debut release by 22 year-old producer Alejo Galvan… He ups the ante, and takes on a more dancefloor orientated approach on this powerful track… Night-time friendly yes, but with just enough melodies not to cross completely over into darkness… The subtle acid-bits underline the message and again I’m impressed by the quality here… Well done! #06: Durbmata – The Field [145 BPM] 21 year-old Tomas Rajlevsky is another debutant… This is among the fastest tracks here, and the style is leaning heavily towards uplifting morning trance with progressive elements… Like Protoculture or Etic… The undecipherable voice-samples are pretty neat and I like the metallic-tribal percussion here… The breakdown has some problems, and I could have asked for a more closely knit flow… But considering it’s a debut, this is indeed nice! #07: Frantic Noise vs. Pragmatix – Balada Hardtrance [143 BPM] z1P teams up with Jorge Uema for a hard trance ballad… This isn’t hard trance in the NU-NRG sense – this is more like pumping psytrance – with floating, melodic elements and enough acid-lines to keep me interested… The rippling FX are nothing short of impressive and this is a very energetic track… Tasty! #08: Megalopsy – Megalupis [145 BPM] Ahh – good old Megalopsy! Matias Benamo (z1P) and Nicolas Di Bernardo (Filter) released their very impressive debut album The Abstract Machine on Trishula Records earlier this year. An unprecedented conceptual album which really challenged the conventional album flow… And yeah – this is challenging music too! Surprising twists and turns – and a general playfulness which I really like! The demented melodies are maybe a little… Well, too demented! But there’s never a dull moment with Megalopsy – I’ll give them that much! A good track, though not the best here… #09: Mindprobe – Where Do They Come From? [136 BPM] “What was I doing? What was the meaning of this trip? Was I just roaming around in a drugs frenzy of some kind?” Mindprobe is a duo consisting of Panoramix (Diego Juarez) and Rave-N (Federico Cardoso). They’ve had a couple of tracks released on obscure labels, so this is my first encounter with their music… We take it down a notch or two on this spooky, atmospheric track… The intro is pretty damn eerie and the blunt beats add to the haunted atmosphere… Where do they come from? Not from this world! This would be the perfect track to open a Halloween set with… Scary stuff! And I like getting scared… #10: Prisma – Goblin Twist [145 BPM] Nicolás Di Bernado (Filter) finishes things off with the goblin track… Another highly experimental track… Dubby basslines, freaky sampling, morphing synths, evil stabs, twirling acid-lines – all in the first minute! A very forest-like track – would mix very will with some downtempo Derango or similar Ørebro stuff… Trippy stuff! Well well well… I already knew that Megalopsy were huge talents, and this compilation shows that there’s even more talent lurking in Argentina! For a debut release this compilation is indeed impressive… I like how we’re exposed to a variety of styles within darkish psytrance… Also, the level of experimentation is high here – and I like labels taking chances! There’s no boring, mind-numbing, formulated full-on here… This is high-quality, well-crafted psytrance – from Argentina with love! The cover art is pretty boring, but the music more than makes up for that – trust me! A unique, experimental compilation… Solid too! Megalopsy fans will take well to this, as will fans of darkish, crossover psytrance… Enjoy! Favourites: 3(!), 4, 5, 7, 9(!)

What sucks though, is that Amazon adds local sales tax - unlike CD Wow or Play.com... At least that's the case when ordering from Denmark... We can't get free shipping either as we can with the two above mentioned sites... But yeah - Amazon is cool... They have an impressive back catalouge! /DP

Nice - you should set up a Discogs account...

Ahahahaha! Just what we needed to balance out the negative vibes here lately... Great fun Guillermo! Bom spanka! ' /DP

Now there's an impressive re-issue CD... I have nearly all the tracks on the original releases, but this has gone straight to my wantlist... ;o) Legend Kris!

Yeah... Leaving Home is a "regular" album whereas Extended is more of a concept thing... /DP
