Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 V/A New Blood [Timecode] Compiled by Phyx & Mastered by Arktifakt. Tracklist : 1. Artifakt – The Bad Thing /144 Bpm Arktifakt (M.De Nobrega) proposes a heavy incisive tune, prepare your cortex to listen to it before the musical frontal schock btw you still have the funny weird intro time played at xylophone to quickly get accustomed after it’ll be too late. The rythmic (i mean here the hithat) makes me think to a blacksmith hitting with his hammer on wrought iron. After 4’30 the main lead is special : satured & twisted, be carefull it could irritate your eardrum that’s probably what Arktifakt call The Bad Thing. After 5’30, you get the impress is finished & that you’re penetrating the outro with this same weird xylophone melody contrasting with the global musical content. That’s when at 6’40 things bolt again for a multi layered final musical theme. 2. Damage vs N.R.S – Fuck’Em All /148 Damage (D.Baardt) vs N.R.S (Lek Black) put you in a place like if you were lost in middle of the Sahara during a sand tempest, so you’re obliged to close your eyes as the phenomenon is so powerful. Trying to battle with the phenomenon, will you manage to resist & escape alive from the situation, to discover it only one solution : listen this track. 3. Shift – Megatron /145 Shift (Chris Hoy) invites us in his Megatron, what is it ? it’s his new amusement park he built based on scientific, cybernetic & futuristic themes. You’re lucky coz today is the launching party day of the Megatron, only V.I.P can acces it. In the Megatron, you need to wear a special cloth looking like cosmonaut’s one coppled with an electronic helmet which can help you through the visor with the moving of your eyes as mouse control with GSM, thermo-radar & other tools. Inside it’s a labyrinth where you’re always in weightlessness, with unpredictable huge draughts which are able to make you rotate on yourself at 360° and also sometimes low electric shock occurs ; it’s very physically involving & it’s better to have accomplish a special muscular training before. When you decide to leave the Megatron, usually you totally forget what has just happened but you’re always in a very good mood at the top of your health. 4. Phyx – Sultan Of Steel /145 Phyx (Ian Summs) gives us something as strong tasty as Shift’s tune was more steely of course as the title says. It’s funny at 2’45 there’s a boisterous metallic lead which is so shrill that i was first thinking it was a pug barking, but maybe it is real indeed and Sultan is the name of the dog. Whatever it is, please Phyx keep making pug barking with your music. 5. Tickets – The Debt /146 Tickets (J. Summs) has cooked a rolling groovy & bouncy bassline married with high sharpy and whistling sounds (especially after 3’00), also with typical muted duck leads from Timecode about the ryrhmic it’s quite smashing. Definitivley Timecode seems very friendly with animals or perhaps it’s just that animals love to listen Timecode stuffs who knows. 6. Menog – Nilsomania /144 Up to now, i’ve only listen to few Menog (Dani Bernardo) ‘s tracks but i quickly recognize his touch & i think Nilsomania is one of his most achieved work. It’s very thick in sounds & with lots of fx on the melodic leads , all this confers the track a powerful atmosphere. 7. Winter Demon & Toxic – Solid Insanity /146 Winter Demon (N.Dvir & A.Atias) & Toxic (A.Aboresi) start the darker part of the compilation. Solid Insanity is more jerky & pumping than all the previous stuffs up to now in the compilation. After the break at 5’30, the track goes a short instant like Spliffpolitics from Gms vs Skazi especially through the typical lead contained in this previously quoted tune during its peaktimes. Psy Dark High Energy stuffs lovers will enjoy it for sure. 8. Digital Talk & Azax Syndrom – Fusion Reaction /146 Digital Talk (Julien Fougea & Luc Achintre) & Azax Syndrome (R.Azaria) team up for Fusion Reaction. Still in the dark way , this one focuses more onto sonic asperities maybe a bit more mental to dig but easily enough body music to work on dancefloor. 9. Hyperfrequencies & Triskel – Aya (Exiter mix) /146 New Blood ends up with another nice collaboration, this time between 2 french dudes : Hyperfrequencies (Gilles Béraud) & Triskel (Fred Sauvand). Here like in previous song, the rythmic is less fat but more chiseled. It also the case for the global musical content, harmonies, structures, sounds are quite fresh & personal, with lot of depht. All tracks are really good & if i woud try to mention tracks as highlights, it’ll give: 2,3,4,7,9. 8,5/10 (If you’re into pachydermic & dark psytrance tunes, this New Blood compilation from Timecode is a must-have for you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Sweet jesus, friend of Joseph porker of Mary!!! Talk about fukin' floored by a release. So much energy coming out my speakers. Just check that tracklist!! Timecode have proved to be a superb label releasing only high quality tunes with that distinct SA flava. Here we see some 'New blood', well, for Timecode releases anyway. Winter Demon, Azax Syndrom, Digital Talk, Hyperfrequencies and others, along with the SA regulars provide one absolutely unfuckingrelentlessauralassault!!! Appearing with a trak and mastered by Artifakt, this sounds awesome. Many stand out trax and lots of "that fukin' bit!!!" moments. Loved Shift using The Transformers and a brief snippet of Metallica's Battery. The fill/break @ 6:53 in Fuck em' all sums the pace and mood of this up nicely, just in ya face no time to waste!!

Trance2MoveU Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Artist: Various Title: New Blood Label: Timecode Records Date: October, 2004 1. Artifakt - The Bad Thing 2. Damage Vs. NRS - F*ck 'Em All 3. Shift - Megatron 4. Phyx - Sultan of Steel 5. Tickets - The Debt 6. Menog - Nilsomania 7. Winter Demon & Toxic - Solid Insanity 8. Digital Talk & Azax Syndrom - Fusion Reaction 9. Hyper Frequencies & Triskell - Aya (Exiter Mix) Dark, Dangerous and Beautiful. Kinda like me. Well, minus the dark part. I mean I'm Irish, so...I get lost in a snowstorm. But dangerous...oh yeah. Have you ever seen me with knives? I'm the only guy who could cut himself with safety scissors. Twice. That leaves us with beautiful and that's an adjective that's never been hurled my way. It's ok, I can take it. So this comp is nothing like me. Which will make it pretty bad ass. Mastered by the Artifakt (dude seems to know what he's doing) it sounds great. Nice and punchy. His track opens things up with the techno style he's come to favor. Damage holds nothing back like driving without brakes. Then comes a string of three tracks that will blow the doors of your minivan. Megatron, Sultan of Steel, and The Debt. Pure power, pure acidic madness. Menog's track is fine, but I feel it's a little too long. Started to become boring. Solid Insanity was anything but, and I liked the bass line for Fusion Reaction. And that's about it. *puts finger to ear to hear producer* No...I'm fairly certain that there are only 8 tracks on this compilation.
