Lemmiwinks Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 1. Sabotage 2. Seven deadly sins 3. Epocwave 4. Punk city (guitar version) 5. Congee 6. Behemoth 7. Radiotek 8. Overvoltage 9. Tubeless 10. Time machine 11. Exodus part II Wizzy Noise are back again with a new album... to tell you the truth I didn't have high hopes for this one since they have been constantly dissapointing me ever since Cyclotron and made me actually want to puke with the GMS-clone sound on Stereo Electric . However this time around they deliver a pretty nice sound. It's morning trance all the way (wierd for a group that started their career by establishing a reputation in making nighttime trance... but hey times change I guess). But it's not the cheezy morning trance type that they delivered last time around, now they have a more individual sound. and it's also more "wilder" and energetic and... less full-on like... Don't really feel like track-by track commenting (too tired ) but I can tell you that this is for me their best effort since Cyclotron (even on par or better? but I'd have to give this a few more listens for this) 8.5/10 faves: 2, 3, 8, 10 (beautifull downtepo track!) PS. Does anyone find a STRONG resemblance between Overvoltage and Juno's Conga Fury ? What's up with that? Quote
amphiton Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I felt the same when I saw their new album. I thought 'Oh, another isra-full-on-trance...' But then I heard nice review's so I gave it a listen and I was stunned but it very nice, actually! Sounds more like Psy-electro-trance, recommended! Quote
DETOX Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 You thought that this could be another israeli full on trance cd? Never heard of Wizzy Noise before? Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Never heard of Wizzy Noise before? I take it you never heard their album Stereo Electric before Quote
DETOX Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Sorry but even that sound didnt have anything to do with Astrix or X Noise or Delirious or Alien Project or Dynamic that are some of the people that represent the infamous israeli full on sound Quote
Alisia~ Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Stereo electric was much better more intelligent and here Wizzy turned to full-on *disappointed Quote

Quod erat demonstrandi Quote
DETOX Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Spun Records back then was characterised by that GMS sound no? Today they are also into more that typical israeli sound.... Quote
Prio Alea Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 And Wizzy Noise are from Greece. This album sounds interresting no doubt! Any previews? Quote

Today they are also into more that typical israeli sound.... 296885[/snapback] I don't get it, are you trying to argue against me or support my arguments? Cause you basically just repeated what I said in my first post there... ah well Quote
DETOX Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 What i am trying to say is that Spun Records was into a more GMS sound when Wizzy released their album there rather than israeli typical full on music that they are today. So i am wondering how come some people ever thought that Wizzy ever sounded like israel artists even when they released their album on Spun Quote
Guest .::E.P Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 So i am wondering how come some people ever thought that Wizzy ever sounded like israel artists even when they released their album on Spun 297617[/snapback] same kind of basslines and tweeky full on sounds Quote
Basilisk Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 There is too much wax in some of your ears. Stereo Electric was great, and so is this. Wizzy are right at the top, as far as I'm concerned. Quote
RAH Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 i didin't hear anything closely resembling to Timeline in the samples ... (the original one) as far as i am concerned this was wizzy at the top... Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 ... and made me actually want to puke with the GMS-clone sound on Stereo Electric . please read this fragment again Detox... Quote
Klaxer Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Hey Detox. Sabotage is album of remixes or not? Just I heard various sequencies from Depeche Mode and Juno Reactor. Time Machine track various too I think. Quote
DETOX Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 No Klaxer Sabotage is not album of remixes and if you hear or you think that you hear similarities of Wizzy Noise with Depeche Mode and Juno Reactor then thats a real honour for them i guess. Quote
phatpat Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 i love the album. I love all their albums Quote
Guest Rain Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 I'm listening to it right now... let you know how I found it Quote
Guest Rain Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 It's morning fullon indeed but not that explosive and typical like astrix and stuff... they created their own touch.... but it is fullon indeed Quote
Hels Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I don't care if it's full on or barbershop, I just want to know if it's good...jeez Quote
Guest Rain Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I don't care if it's full on or barbershop, I just want to know if it's good...jeez 314499[/snapback] I say give it a try Quote
Tegma Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Quite a good album , as always Wizzy delivers 7,5/10. The production and sound quality is excellent. Quote
Cinos Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Wizzy tell me Overvoltage isn't a Juno Reactor rip-off. Well, I don't know. Sounds a bit too similar anyway. Quote
zaib Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 i think that whether you like this album sort of depends if you like the wizzy noise's sound in general: i just can't get enough of their sound, hence i also love this album this album is a more melodic and powerful that stereo electric though, especially the punk city remix and behemoth are pretty heavy, but it's also lacking the mysterious, dark elements from their previous album in overall i liked stereo electric better, even though behemoth is absolutely a monster-tune ("killaaaarrrrgghhhr") Quote
