Review:

 

Skazi is Asher Skazi which is a new israeli artist who deliver a new style (the

first israeli artist for such style) which is hard and evil psytrance. Heavy

basslines and sharp percussion are the key here. The tracks on this album are

at the same style, but each tells a different story, without any melodies at

all (though you can't call it minimal). This kind of hard psytrance reminds me

of GMS just less evolved.

About the tracks - all tracks are set in order, so the cd starts with the

softest, and ends with the harder tunes.

Rec: 1, 6, 7, 8 (!), 9

Overall 7.5/10

This album has these low frequency "wah wah" sounds...

A lot like Gms for sure...First track has a really nice break towards the end..

but then Guitars = cheeze.. my personal opinion.. would have sounded much

better without the guitars...

in the 3rd track very twisted and kreaky metalic sounds.. 4th track is just

hard psytrance.. boop boop... the kickdrum beating along... with the hard

bassline...with small minimal kind of sounds

5th track "title track" starts of with some samples...

very straight forward psy hard trance...just crazy stuff going in all

directions finally concluding to something...

6th track .. a sample " you feel this energy all around you.. now find your

power"... fast pickup... some nice samples.. make it sound like chants... and

cuting of the beat leaving the samples echoing...7th track has guitars.. its

quite a ncie one.. but i dont like much guitars... except on Infected Mushroom

- Devil (Final Mix)...8th track starts of with this spine tickling sound..into

this hard kick drum.. fast pickup...

some nice breaks and prolly one of the best tracks of the album...Last track is

very hard... DEEP bassline... sample "you are feeling very sleepy.. u are

relaxing" same sample from another MFG song...!

Overall I would give this album 7/10

This is the stuff... i am hooked on this album.. amazingly high charged.. and i

beg to differ ... gms is obviously really good.. but in my opinion skazi

doesn't really sound like them,,, o.k its hard, but its hard in a very

different way :-)... Personally i think this is one of the best releases this

year... 9/10... put it on and watch the floor fill up.. yeah!!

Sick twisted psy-trance from hell !! Grr-Grr Oink! Oink! Especially 'are you

still there' and 'chainsaw' are great tunes (9.5/10). This is the stuff that

disconnects your cortex and lets the limbic system take over - when played

sparsely. Too much will bore the hell out of almost anybody, and so will the

rest of the tracks when played only once. Overall: 7/10

This album could have been 10 times better. The rythmics + basses are good but

the leads are awfull...sounds like a synth arpeggiator playing the same 3

notes pattern during the whole track....There's also some "sublte" signs of

Nithzonot inside (if Nithzonot can be said "subtle")

 

Anyway this is really music done BY israelis mostly FOR israelis. I guess this

is why this album is very popular over there and almost unknown here.

best album you've ever heard?! hardly! how many trance cds do you have then, 3?

=) really, i don't quite get what these guys (skazi) are trying to do: the

basses are awful, the leads are even worse, the kicks are not strong enough,

and the samples are just downright silly. are we making trance or cartoons?

but sometimes, on a few tracks, the formula works, so this album is not a

complete waste. it's just sad that overall low quality like this is being

released. they should've spent more time in the studio and made more tracks

like 6,7,8,9, because 1-5 are BAD, they made me skip to the next track after

2-3 minutes, and i almost never skip tracks! maybe 6/10

umm...ok, maybe i was in a bad mood or something, but i'm coming around. the

thing is actually not that bad, and most tracks are listenable... i guess it

grows on you, BUT! the samples are still plain DUMB! =) the stupidest samples

ive ever heard in a record, and what makes it worse, they use SO MANY! easily

beats psysex for stupidity of samples. those alone are enough to ridicule this

record, but the music itself is ok (except some bad guitars. i usually dont

mind guitars in trance, but these are BAD). up to 7/10

This is a killer hard psytrance album (with the exception of the track Ironic,

which sucks ass). If you like hard, dark psytrance, GET THIS ALBUM!! 8/10

I like it... But It's there's a really BIG diffrence between the first tracks,

which are okay i guess, and the last tracks, which kick ass... But it could

have been much much better... 710

This CD is great. The musics are a granted success in any cool dance floor. I

had the pleasure of watching Skasi live, playing this CD in Portugal and it

was great. The people couldnt stop jumping, dancing with a smile all the time.

Great breaks, great beat, I appreciated very much.

This guy up here is a complete lunatic!I saw him dance on the dance floor, at

500 km per hour, speed up!But they're really good, very sharp sounds and ultra

psychedelic.Lots of history.

Very hard trance. Once u get up on the first track, u wont go down till it

ends... They seem to be mad when made this album... Recomemded for the climax

of the party, not for warming up, not for the morning.

A very very good job, but i can't tell its addictive... For sure, better don't

miss it!

Honest and humble music lover.
