Fucking amazing!!! I was excepted a great album but this is unfuckingbelievable!
Why? Well it's 100% South African style, maximal Psy, power, super basslines, sharp production, chaos, but the most important melodies! Yes, it has melodies and very interesting melodies, I can say. Some of them actually are really goa-ish. For example the last melody in 10th Day is goa melody IMO, and the whole Moonchild track is a combination of Hard Full On with Goa-Full On. So, Excession is Goa? Of course not! But it has some goa elements IMO. After all, agree or not you can't say that it's a uninspired album. Much better than his first album Red Line. And this is why puzzle me when ppl say that SA artists used to be good but now are so so. Back then they were more techno, fx madness all the way but today the are still powerful but more melodic. Also, although all the tracks are 100% Shift-style each one of them is unique. Strech for example is morning and more melodic, Moonchild is spacey, Push It is brutal, Cosmic Cortex is....fractalish (sorry, can't find other word for it) and so on....
Overall 10/10, best album of 2005 so far, it proves why SA artists kick ass!!!!!
+great cover, here it is
