Guest Smaug Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 As many of you already know, Raja Ram and Simon Posford make up Shpongle. I was wondering if anyone has heard "Raja Ram's Stash Bag" Compilation CD that recently came out. Is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dam10n Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 yes good release - this is the review from www.psytrancereviews.btinternet.co.uk: Various - Raja Ram’s Stash Bag - TipWorld (UK) This is good. Certainly it’s not been far from my ears since it arrived. With a cheeky bit of cover art from Nick Doof, and the CD graphics featuring a big TIP shiva made up of little coloured TIP shivas (joy!), it felt for a moment that it was 1996 again. And in a way, this album does manage to turn the trance macroscope in on itself, picking up a history of Tip’s addictive, brainbubble sound. Most importantly, however, this serves as a smacking reminder of what this scene’s all about – energetic, lysergic, rocket-fuel music that’s unpretentious, grin-making and most importantly of all, a bloody good laugh. Raja’s mix, mastered by Benji Vaughan (Prometheus), picks up early Tip offerings from The Infinity Project and Hallucinogen, and via Talamasca and a cheekily reworked Out Here We Are Stoned from E-Rection, smacks right up to date with GMS, Shpongle, Logic Bomb and Zorba. But this album is so much more than the sum of its parts – littered with samples from Raja’s digital history (and then some) it’s a colourful, kaleidoscopic, never-sits-still mix all through which, one assumes, Raja was pissing himself laughing and having a jolly wonderful time. Which, as I said earlier, is exactly what the scene’s all about. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
