Review:

 

Some words to begin about the cover artwork which is very original & funny for

a psytrance album, it seems that Panick has been martyrized by women?

 

So, i must admit that i was fearing Panick (Nick Laniado) just to provide

copycats stuffs from Psysex as he used to work with them on their Harcore

Blastoff album, i can tell it?s not the case in Rocket Pocket.

 

The Punisher puts you directly into the weird Panick?s soundscapes with a

slight gloomy feeling, this guy (the punisher) doesn?t seems to be here to

joke with anybody, a very cool atmospheric track to start.

 

Close Range is more enlightened & happy with his bouncing sharpy & twisted

little sound but that?s just a short impress. Come back to more harsh & dark

tones with some kinda ghost samples in the background like if we were pushing

the door & entering an haunted castle with some tricks inside (maybe it?s the

property of the Adams familly).

 

Time Flash focus on a groovier musical orientation, more kickin with highly

metallic twisted fx on some sounds up to 2?45. Then the rythmic is

dominating, made of jolts with melodies coming from several different twisted

sounds all along .

 

Triyki Terror, the name says it all, more apocalyptic feeling here with short

cold org notes & icy synth liness combined with a warm falsely saturated

bass, interesting antagonism.

 

Highway 61, is a bit cliché with immitating samples of throbbing formula one

engine, elseway the track is sounding more nervous as it?s reffering to a

higway, logic.

 

Now comes the best proof of the personnal musical identity of Panick (more

raving with lots of fx & twisted tones & still rockin but less kickin), coz

the original version was very closed to Psysex hardcore Blastoff?s

trademarks.With this new version, you can easily notice the difference between

Panick & Psysex builds up comparing 1st & 2nd edit of Hollow : the learner

succeed to escape the formula of his teachers, well done.

 

Disco Graphix goes on with & confirms the weird & raving musical potential of

Panick with a more lightfull approach like previous track, very happy one.

 

Now it?s time to watch some ?real tv? program, a new one named ?Mutant

Academy?, you know it's about a gathering of mutants and you (watchers) had to

vote to say which one had to leave or rest. These Mutants are very funny

beings but they don?t really do nothing of their days except morphing into

freaks. Hopefully, the musical generic is very cool, normal it?s made by

Panick. I must admit i just wait this program in oder to listen daily to the

excellent musical generic?

 

Ultramagnus is another fearsome raving stuff from Panic what more to say ,

nothing.
