Oforia - Let It Beat Artist: Oforia Title: Let It Beat Label: BNE Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 08'33" Abyssadelic 02. 08'21" Millions Of Miles Away 03. 08'24" Let It Beat 04. 07'40" Into Another Universe 05. 08'41" Alien Pump (Sabotage Mix) 06. 08'20" Gain Bang 07. 07'48" Red Levels 08. 08'04" Lunar Quartet 09. 07'30" Hypnotic Review: First things first; this is more on the house/trancy side. And that means, a little more cheese than we are used to. Anyway, he succeeds to create extremly good groovy beats a some points end then he ruins them by putting in those damned cheezy sounds and melodies. As you can see in the tracklist a mix of Tandu - Alien Pump is made. And it is by far the best track here. You can really sense the old fashion Tandu track. Even tho the original is better. Gain Bang and Lunar Quartet are pretty good as well. Not that cheesy as the first tracks. The last track is better we don't talk about. Yes, it bad alright! Final Verdict: 5.7/10

V/A - The Mystery Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls Artist: Various Title: The Mystery Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls Label: TIP World Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 08'59" Alien Project : The First Revelation (Part l) 02. 08'57" Cyberbabas : The First Revelation (Part 2) 03. 11'42" Doof : The Second Revelation 04. 11'04" Logic Bomb : The Third Revelation 05. 12'06" GMS And 1300 Mics : The Fourth Revelation 06. 11'47" Absolum : The Fifth Revelation 07. 12'17" Shpongle : The Sixth Revelation Review: WOOOOOW! What a awesome release! I would say one of, and maybe the best release so far this year. The tracks fits very well to each other but they are so different anyway. Each one telling a little bit about the mystery of the skulls. Together, the mystery is solved. You know what I mean. There are no bad tracks in this one. According to me the Doof track is the "weakest" of them. But far away from bad I'm telling you! The best track...hard to tell. I really like the Logic Bomb track and ofcourse(?) the Shpongle track. This is the Shpongle i wanna hear There not much to say...It's a super-release. All of you should get this one! Final Verdict: 10/10

"13 Skulls" coming up in 30mins =) I see what else I can review...I might shake out some VA comps somewhere. boms!

OK OK! Forget about it! Bastards!

V/A - Parabola Artist: Various Title: Parabola Label: Phantasm Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 09'06" Hex : Kin 02. 07'09" Mindfield And Cosmosis : Psycho 03. 07'54" Mumbo Jumbo : Techno Boom Boom 04. 07'58" Cubica : Dr Mox 05. 08'55" Orion : Ultragroove 06. 08'03" Tromesa : Ciekly Zwiazek 07. 07'33" Neoris : MDFM 08. 09'13" Wizzy Noise And Har-Ell : Wizzy God 09. 06'51" Fluffy Puppy : How Many Beers Review: Starts out pretty good imo. Nice steady groovy beat in the first track with well fit sounds. I don't really know what to compare this to. So let's forget about it. Track #2 is also groovy. I like this better then the first one. More psychedelic with very nice sounds. Good production and all that. The next track..hmmm...good percussion. Not so much sounds as in the two previous tracks. But good anyway. No more to say about that track. Track #4 is not so good as the others. Quite booring, and doesn't really reach a top gear. To bad. Track #5 is better. Steady beat and rythm. This one, as the other tracks lacks of some kind of "break loose" somewhere in the track. Track #6 is more in the "oldschool" direction. Constant synth sound ticking. A little more melodic then the other tracks so far. But still a good track. Even tho the production lacks a little. Track #7 is the worst so far. Sounds very "empty" if you know what I mean. Oh well...Let's move one. The next track (8) is faster and has a good end. It will for sure catch you. Not that dark either, Wizzy use to be dark you know But its a good track indeed. Track #9 and the last one is common to track #6. Kinda "choppy". But nice. Ok. Enough! Best track: Mindfield and Cosmosis - Psycho Final verdict: 7.3/10

Why has nobody done this? A christmas psy-track, that would be cool. Some Jinglebells, nice "ho ho ho's" and vocals Maybe a calm track like Silent Night or something. =) I would love to here that! So you artists out there, go make it :-)

I have seen her live. Cute indeed :-)

V/A - I-Loops Artist: Various Title: I-Loops Label: Loopsnoo Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Mkloop : Cosmic 02. Timewarp : Virtual Heaven 03. Aztec : Ligand 04. Timewarp : Ketamonix 05. Opsis : Miss Adventure (Hellfire Rmx) 06. Wizzy Noise : Error 07. Initia : Humanimal 08. Virus : Retsi Village Review: This comp is "basic". Just pure goa/progressive/psy mix or what you wanna call it. But it's nothing wrong with that. This fit the dancefloor most imo. Some tracks are a little bit cheezy, but not too cheezy. Every track has it's only little neat build-up. But this is not good enough anyway...Gets very dull after a while. Best track is Wizzy Noise - Error. Don't get this one. Or go get it. But I shouldn't. Rating: 6/10 because of Wizzy Noise who pulled up the point a little

V/A - Psychedelic Sparks Artist: Various Title: Psychedelic Sparks Label: Psynews Date: 2001 Track listing: CD 1 01. 05'51" Neurotoxin : For Red 02. 08'26" Psychopat : Spiral Landing 03. 07'29" De-Fect : Bouncing Shrooms And Giggleing Gnomes 04. 11'53" Andromeda : Amiga 05. 07'42" Synsun : TNC 2001 06. 08'42" Asura : System Babel (Code Eternity Rmx) 07. 09'14" Artha : Controlled 08. 10'54" Epsilon : Cosmic Vortex (Creepy Mix) CD 2 01. 08'25" Promon : Throbbing Hobbits 02. 08'02" The Bastard : Crispy Crunchy Buffet Beast 03. 09'26" De-Fect : Germs, Germs, Psychedelic Germs 04. 07'16" Amygdala : Synaptic Misfire 05. 08'15" Synsun : Replycant 06. 07'45" Vax : Protoplasma 07. 08'20" Agalactia : Awkward Lightrate 08. 07'16" Torakka : Greasy Fingers 09. 04'42" Solstice : Ricochet Review: I have done this review with no thoughts that they are not pros (all of them). Of the artist would be Infected Mushroom it would get the same rating. Which means I compare this to all the psytrance I have heard. What else to do? It might seems that I always has something to complain about. oh well... :/ 1-1 Review :Woha! The bas reminds me of Shiva Shidapu-bas. Harch and "snappy". The track really catches me around 2:00 when some drums come in. The break in the middle is enjoyable as the whole track. What to say more? The psy-sounds is good and the sample fit in very good. Rating : 7/10 1-2 Review :hmm...Minimal has never impressed me. This guy seems to know what he is doing though. But I'm not sure about it Argh...I'll leave this track to the minimal dudes. Rating: 5/10 1-3 Review :This one is better. It's scando alright With some hard dark bas and bassline, squeeking 'melodie' and a little hi-hat on that. Sweet. To bad the squeek sound starts to get annoying later in the track. A little variation would be good. Rating : 7/10 1-4 Review :This could be early SFX stuff The melodies are constantly coming on and on and on. Anyway...The track never really drags you away. Just a few times the tracks has a nice "mood". Rating : 6.8/10 1-5 Review :This is a hard and fast track. Belive me. Many sounds in here and the melodie 5:00 really freaks me out. Good! After the awesome melodie the beats changes and...oh my God, it's so good. I can't write more now Rating : 7.8/10 1-6 Review :Ok, you can notice these guys done this before. Maybe the best track so far. Melodic and sweet. With a Alien Project - Electro bas. hehe... Oh well...Too cheezy at sometimes for my taste. Rating : 7/10 1-7 Review :This track would be really great if it would be darker. When the 'synth' sound is gone the track sounds very cool. The effects put in when the melodie is off is good and fits in perfectly. Make this track darker and it will gain a few points. Rating 6.5/10 1-8 Review :Creepy indeed. Much echo/reverb or what it's called. Maybe thats why the track gets "flooded" at some points. The scary party is kinda good but...I better not. Rating : 4/10 2-1 Review :What a perfect name! This one throbbs very much. This one is the more psychedelic of the tracks so far. A little bit like GMS. iiih...The throbbing sound is almost to throbbing for your ears But this is good anyway. I good suprise in the end of the track. I litte melodie of some kind. Rating : 7.2/10 2-2 Review :Well choosed effects in this. This is more like Hux-Flux. blipps and beeps. Which I like very much. The track goes nowhere...and dissapears. *giggle* Rating : 7/10 2-3 Review :Man! This is even better than his other track. Hard and dark with some blipps A cool melodie lurking in the background. This is the one! So far that is. I really enjoy the 'high' tones in this one. Creates a cool twist to the otherwise dark mood this track has. Rating : 9/10 2-4 Review :It's getting better and better. Nice groovy beat. Some effects. A melodie once in a while. Some drums/hi-hats/snares. This equals a nice stompy track. Rating : 8/10 2-5 Review :Once again he delivers a hard and fast track. Very weird drums and bas. Sound so floppy somehow. And then he trows in an a short melodie perfectly. To bad the melodie is layered under all the other sounds. He know how to create a good melodie indeed. To bad he don't do it more often. Rating: 8.4/10 2-6 Review :Also a little SFX-spirit in this one. It's fullon all the way. It's very good sometimes but the end is just to much. A little break from the melodies would be nice I think. Rating : 6/10 2-7 Review :Isreali trance Good one! Melodies yiihaa! This one is not so packed with sounds as most of the others. Much more easy to 'follow'. Clean and crisp. The melodies are never booring either. And the sampled used is simply awesome. Very good one. Rating : 9/10 2-8 Review :Good nice groove in this one. Good work on the percussions. And the 'long-bas'. da daaa..da. You get it? The melodies fits the rest of the track good. The typical swirling melodies that goes upp and down. This works. Oh i forgot...Good start and ending in this track. Rating 8/10 2-9 Review :Vocals? Womens voice. Wunderful! The slowest track of them all. Sounds very proish I can't spell proffecional This one just.....flowing peacfully. Rating : 7.4/10 Overall Rating : 6.8/10

The Delta - Send In Send Back Artist: The Delta Title: Send In Send Back Label: D-Drum Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 01'40" Intro 02. 06'00" Def By Delta (Part 1) 03. 07'17" Standby 04. 07'02" Send In Send Back 05. 06'17" MJ Error 06. 05'23" A And B 07. 07'43" Def By Delta (Part 2) 08. 06'03" Fade 09. 06'55" Lost And Found 10. 06'09" PC Fresh 11. 05'55" Basic Beat Review: Ok. So let us compare this to 'Scizoeffective'. This is kinda the same style, maybe not THAT hard and a little more minimalistic. The tracks are short and dark. Did I have to tell you that? This is not so experimental as Scizo is. There is minimal all way to the last track that is same style as 'Dr Rayman'. The tracks are similar to each other. There is a weird sound that they use in almost every track. I can't really describe it. Although, it's is really fun to play this loud. It's worth every penny just to crank up the volume and feel it Anyway...I'm not much of a minimal fan so the minimal-people out there can add a point or so on the rating. Best tracks: 5, 6 and 11. Rating: 6/10

V/A - Shiva Space Technology 4 Artist: Various Title: Shiva Space Technology 4 Label: Digital Underground Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 08'09" Messiah : Channel 4 02. 06'57" Goldenfinger : Rock Waves 03. 05'24" Astrix : Afrika Sun 04. 08'02" Necromancer : Radio Bla Bla 05. 07'31" Star Children : Frequency 06. 07'27" Cherouvim : Thrasold 07. 07'38" Injector : Temple Of Gods (Rmx) 08. 07'07" Mike Verros : Desire Review: This was distributed by Sony Music :/ This is super-cheesy super-commercial stuff. And it SUCKS. I don't know why I bought it. Damn I should have listened to it before. It's melodic all way, it's nothing new, it's booring. Oh man, this is waste of time. Don't get this one for God sake! Rating: 1/10

Violet Vision - First Sign Of Communication Artist: Violet Vision Title: First Sign Of Communication Label: BNE Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Divine Conflict 02. Inside The Glass Shell 03. Fingering Nuns On Mars 04. 3 Martians 05. Sense 06. Violet's Vision 07. Momentary Lapse Of Consciousness 08. Substance 44 09. Grey Matter 10. Panic Disorder Review: Oh man! This is some freaky weird stuff IMO. It's like a weird mix of Deviant Electronics/Infected/Hux-Flux. Alot of breakbeats, sound-effects and noises. Yeah, I said alot. Some tracks are downtempo with some vocals and violins put in. Really good IMO. The tracks are very different from each other. many of you might have heard the track "Sense" but the other tracks is far from that style. It's so experimental and strange. I never heard so strange music before And I like it very much indeed. I have no idea how to describe each track so i think I'll end it right here. If you are up for music you never heard before this is "the one" to get. Rating: 8/10

V/A - Zoo Artist: Various Title: Zoo Label: Shaffel Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 08'05" Wizzy Noise : Acid Level 33 02. 07'09" Lemurians : Fieating And Moving 03. 07'25" Xenomorph : Sociopath 04. 06'40" Shiva And Skazi : By The Rivers ... 05. 06'49" SX : Cost Me 06. 07'38" Skazi : GTR 07. 07'55" Exaile : Tied Up 08. 07'09" Absolum : Pulse 09. 08'17" Talamasca : Thief Review: I never heard any of these tracks before. And they are good. It seems like this CD is ment for the floor. Very "stompy" and crazy at certain points. Track 1 is typical Wizzy Noise, no news hear, have you heard the Cybermancy-ablum you have heard this track. The good part is 05:15 when a fat noise starts to grind down your brain, then pause, then build up, full-on. Good one. Track 2 is not my cup of tea. It's lacking of some kind of bassline or something. Sounds choppy. Let's move on to track 3. This one is better. Nothing special tho. Just nice So much noises tearing you ears apart. Adds a scary twist in the end of the track to make you go faster. Track 4: This one is good. I don't know how to describe it really. This one is a bit different to the others so far. Much more psychedelic, not as dark as Xenomorph and Wizzy Noise. I like this one very much indeed. Track 5: It comes with a constant housy-sound-like-noise, I don't really like this one. Nothing we haven't heard before. So let us move on Track 6: This one suprised me. The guitar (GTR) in this track is one of the better I heard. So clean in some way. Oh yes.... Very crazy in the end. Not only the guitarr whos working in this track. Track 7 is also good. Psychedelic and pure. Could be a killer on the floor. Not much melodies until the end and this one will for sure make you move your feet off the ground. The melodie as constantly hanging around when noises and sound-fx is put on top of that. The melodie stops, and the sound-fx are on their on until the track ends. Good one. Track 8: Is typical Absolum. Hard bassline..those beeps and bleeps, screams and ...something. In mittle their is a pause when you don't hear anything. And suddenly it all starts againg. The end is rough and hard. I wont spoil it for you Track 9: hmm..what to say? Hard, rough sometimes. I think this is typical psytrance lol? oh well. I would recommand this CD for you AND your buddies. Rating: 8/10

What to say?! This is a good way to get all those classic tracks. If you can't get the original anymore. As Deathposture said this is available at midprice world-wide. Ugly artwork but good comp. Fav tracks are 1,4,6,7. 7/10 Bom!

Wow! This is excellent! Breakbeats at it best I guess :-) I have never heard this kind of music before. It's seems to be a mix between many styles. And I must say that the mix came out GOOD! What a sound! The tracks on this CD is very different to each other I think. Some of them are calm, ambient, with piano and stuff and others are fast and psychedelic with many freaksounds . Useually when you hear a track on a CD you have an idea of how the whole cd will sound like, but not on this CD. You never know what you going to hear next. When you have played the CD, it's impossible to not play again, again and again. Buy it! 9.5/10

Extraordinary track from the Mushies. The melodies are here, and ofcourse those twisted sounds that jumps up and down. It would have been much better if the different melodies been melted together, it's to obvious when a new melodie comes in. However, the melodies are great just like the whole track. 8/10
