Basilisk

Where did they go?

At first it seemed like a let-down, but actually it's a very good album... the last good album from Cosmosis in fact. I love the jazzy influence.

Never was able to get into it, especially with only 4 tracks out of 8 on the vinyl :|

Twisted is way ahead of the curve. Intelligent trance music.

Not a great compilation, despite the line-up... I think they really dropped the ball on this one. Etnica is dope though.

Atomic releases get better with age... this wasn't their best, but it's still pretty cool for grim futuristic techtrance and dark psychedelic.

The above is my original review. quoted for posterity (and amusement). My, how time changes opinions. I don't even think it was very long after that I realized how brilliant this track is... in fact, I know that to be true, because I remember playing it out at a summer festival in 2001, sunday morning. This is a great old vinyl, one of the best from Twisted!

That second CD isn't bad at all for what they're trying to do.

The original is also on reactivate 16, if i'm not mistaken... it's just epic trance - commercial, cheesy stuff. Move along.

Mi-Loony-Um! is fantastic, but the remix is trash.

Above is my original review, written in y2k. I think my prophecy regarding MTV speaks for itself I still agree with most of what I say. Good album with some weak moments... but likewise, some totally brilliant tracks here.

Intelligent and truly innovative psychedelic music from Australia.

A classic piece of Goa trance!

.

I think it's a bit of a cash grab released at the peak of their popularity... the vinyl version only contained six tracks. Ultimately rather disposable, although it is certainly listenable for epic/melodic fans.

I never found it to be any good... kind of cheesy, in fact.
