After previous released songs on Etnicanet compilations Phase One and Two, Belgrade duo Aki & Eli released this groovy album. I wasn't so impressed with their singles and thought that this will sound similar to it, but I was pleasantly surprised. DIESEL is a nice opener, bouncey and with effects but there is no real melody or something specific, it is just good. SUSPECIES is even better, it is groovy and pretty nuts at some stages and it is using very known melody I forgot from where. FULL OFF is my second favourite here. This one has some melody and very bouncey and groovy character in whole track. Juicy. BLURRY is also nice, it is first full on track here and it is nothing extraordinary but effective. WILD THINGS continues in full on realms and it is ok too, it just needed few more twists in the track. But it has some psychedelic effects. Same stands for NAUGHTY WE, also full on structure and some crazy effects. ON THE LIST is pretty good, has some interesting ideas hidden inside and some deviant sounds. SPECIFIED is pretty good too, it has darker feel and it is pretty well arranged. THE SCIENTISTS is maybe the best on the disc, pretty experimental and mental. There are few twists and melodic lines along the 9 minutes long track. So, this is pretty decent album, groovy and bouncey and better than bunch of full on clones these days...6.5/10

After few more listens this album got wored off too fast. Now it is just plain average and the grade got to 5/10.
