Guest Syre Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 V/A - Anima Artist: Various Title: Anima Label: Iboga Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Phony Orphants : Chocolate Icetea 02. Lurifax : Lobo (Rmx) 03. Zerotonine : Dark Entries 04. Spy Vs Spy : Fladflupper 05. Reefer Decree : Metal Spring 06. Beat Bizarre : Monocrome 07. Mino : Animated 08. Tegma : Satanic Wars Review: The new compilation from Iboga is worth all the wait and more. It remains in the minimal style we all know and love from their previous compilations (Go away melodic lover). My favorite tracks are "Chocolate Icetea" from Phony Orphants and are by far one of their best tracks available on CD... It has a nice baseline, some very wicked sounds and a very sweet groove to it. It develops in a very cool way to the end. Beat Bizarre delivers a track even better then what we have from Phony, their are truly masters at what they do with the minimal sound. Their track is called "Monocrome" and has one the sweetest grooves I have yet heard. It makes my day anytime and it indeed kicks ass at parties. It develops in the very best way, and makes your body kick. It has nice breaks and some really hard and wicked sounds to it. "Dark Entries" from Zerotonine has been on vinyl for quite some time now, but their track is now on CD, and it still rocks as much as it did when it was released. Very hard and very dark ) Reefer Decree delivers a slamming sweet track while the rest remain of great quality. So if you like the minimal sound and the previous Iboga compilations, buy this. 8/10. I advise melodic lovers to go away and comment on Astral Projection reviews, instead of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dMan Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Syre is correct, this album is a master-piece.. The Lurifax, Reefer Decree and Beat Bizarre tracks are my favorites, definitely buy this bad boy, the best I've heard in years, but it is from Iboga, could you expect any less?

Guest Andy Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Booooring compilation.... will Iboga ever change thier sound??? No really good tracks on this record... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BIO_FROG Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Great Compilation. ANDY, if you think this is booring, try playing it outdoors with some huge speakers, you ain't gonna enjoy it if your hear it on your discman. Anyway, some great basslines, twisted sound and funky tunes. This music satisfies the little trippy-elf in my head. 10/10 BOM SHANKAR!!!

Guest Andy Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Its nothing compared with Tryptamin and Ethnobotany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iboga-fan Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Hands-down, without question, the best comp of the year. Nothing else even comes close. Hats off to Iboga!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a_ozi Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 not as good as ethnobotany or triptamine.... but still good with 'me firsts' being SpyvSpy, Reefer, Beat B, and definitely Tegma with a wicked haunted building epic... almost a gothic MOS.

Guest Wicked Wizard Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 8/10 , Favorites are : "Beat Bizarre - Monochrome" got a killer groove that can't let you sit still , with a pumping bass that will hit you like a hammer on a big party with good stereo system and BIG speakers , then comes a bunch of synthetic sounds on top of the groove , real twisted ! and that lovely sample from the movie "Cube" - This room is green , I wanne go back to the blue room... real cube-like atmosphere in this track I must add. But it gets pretty boring towords the end of the track. "Mino - Animated" starts off with some haunting voices , then suddenly slaps you in the face with a nasty bass , then it builds up and hits you with some whipping sounds , you cannot resist all these energy that's hitting your head then suddenly comes a twisted scream that get faded away slowly... then it continues with those strange noises and killer bass of master Mino , and slowly disappear into an echoing voice. "Tegma - Satenic Wars" fits his name very good , it starts off with a chorus & some bells ringing , graveyard's kind of atmosphere , some woman are screaming on top of a rolling bass that builds slowly into a break , that kicks you right back to the rythem of haunting voices & screams. Very dark and doesn't change much until it all suddenly been taking away by an impressing Tuba ! , and the chorus that appeared in the begging is ending this great track... Iboga fans and minimal-psy only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MG Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 I haven't heard this yet but I know it is better than tryptamin because i've heard Lurifax, Beat Bizarre, Zerotonine, & Reefer Decree tracks on vinyl & albums. I will buy this ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cnt97 Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 One word: BORING. (I'm usually very fond of this type of music). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaySatanicHippie Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Iboga is one of my fav labels, but i have to say that i was somewhat dissapointed. Tryptamine was better. The only track that saves this is Monochrome(10/10), but youb can get that on the "Lewd" Album. there other good tracks, too, like 8, 3 and 1, but not up to ibogas mormal standards. 6,5/10 Sorry, Iboga, but you have done much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spacecowboy[at]electrorave[dot]c Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Thank God we have a variety of sounds and styles of Trance; personally I don't enjoy Israeli style, very monotonous, but that don't mean that it is a bad style, but Iboga style is one of my favorites. This Cd is on of this year's best compils, no doubt about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Great comp here from Iboga...!! They haven't disappointed me yet and probably never will either!! Hahaha, I just love this dark, progressive sound of the Iboga artists... let's run by this track from track... Track1: Excellently mixed... dark intro, great bassline, smoochy woman's voice... Rolls along greatly and pretty long also at 10:42!! track2: machine like noises, really dark atmosphere also... Pumps on and on till your eardums seem to pulsate... Great! track3: excellent zerotonine track, one of their best so far IMO. Has that dark edge and the machine like percussions... Smooth.. Track4: progressive, dark & funky, but still one of the less tracks on offer here. But not bad at all...! Track5: pure reefer sound here, so if you didn't like their album you sure as hell won't like this...! I do like this, but I'm also a huge reefer fan so ... :-) track6: listening to it as I type this, excellent track... Progressive, dark, pumping but still a psy-edge. One of the best tracks here, it even has samples from that horror film : Cube, which everyone should just rent and go see...! (excellent film) Track7: dark, dark here... weird voices, but a good listen. Also sounds a little more like regular goa than the rest. Track8: and Tegma end this one just in the same line as it began... Dark, pulsating.... Moody... Great!! Overall: 9/10 here because this simply kicks away all the time! I can listen to this one again and again and be blown away every time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffan Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Boring music. All artists of iboga are amatures. Really sucks ass. Go and buy some synths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Santissima°!! Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 ...Good,but this no is a spiritual trance.........It's a plastik trance...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aqua Mental Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Great compilation! Takes a lot of times to listen until it reveals it's full glory, but after that you can't help wondering what has been opened in your brain and why does this music sound so good... Mind-expanding music for already open minded people. I love you Iboga guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seansnius[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 By far the most impressive sounds to travel through my brain. tracks 1 and 2 are amazing, especially 2, listen very carefully towards the end with the repeating high tweets, there is a whole world of sound structure just breathing beneath the tweets and you'll simply be captivated for life after this dark experience.
