V/A - Assassi-Nations

[mars]

The review above sais everything but here are my comments:

 

1-very good. seems GMS remix everything they hear

2-should have been called Reload remix2...is it a joke ? ayway its a very

danceable track.

3-this one is very good, typical GMS overtwisted style. only one remark: they

should have put less RajaRam gossip within.

4-well, good one

5-funny one, well engineered...it must be listened to because its hard to

imagine what's some cowboy-psytrance

6-To the limit of cheese...but efficient...and twisted.

7-awesome track with all the imagination and style of LB. poerful & smooth.

8-Serge delivers us a masterpiece of psy-modern-TE-like-trance

9-grooaaaaarrhh what a track !! It will steal your soul. Now Deedrah knows how

to make minimal crazyness.

 

Definitely THE compil of the year so far !

Review:

 

1 - Alien Project - Midnight SUn (GMS Rmx): starts this compilation with a good

track. The Gms Rmx for Midnight Sun, a classic track from Alien P.

Its a very refreshing track with a good bassline. And we can say that the basic

GMS style continues to work. Its start with a melodic touch... and then turn

to a good bassline. Its still very effective as always.

2 - Meat Head Productions - The Big Ship - new psy project appears in the

album. Personallu i dint like that much this track. Its remember a lot the

knowed Deedrah - Reload. It have a morning fell on it. The track goes darker

and darker as it progress, i dont know anything else about this project... but

i think it comes to to stay.

3 - 1300 Mics - Salvia Divinorum: Uhhhm.. GMs and Raja Ram. Can i need any

comment ? My opnion: The best track in the compilation. I think people already

had listen to this in any party. Its the kinf of music we can dance at any

time. Good builds up and a good flow. Just listen to it .

4 - Alien Project - Genetic Eyes Rmx: i got this review from a friend... its

describe the track:

The track sounded like yet another standard formula track made for people to

stomp at parties... until the break at 2:30, where something goes very

wrong..... in the best way. The way it snaps back into the beat and starts

developing with a fury. Even though sometimes they overplay the music, every

time it develops, the track just sounds RIGHT. Dance, dance, dance. Yay!

5 - D Tek and Dr Panic - Psychedelic Cowboys : New Project appears on the

compílation again. This track is kind a Folk Music with Psy Trance. It have

some acoustic guitar on that. Old West style. Good electronic sounds on that.

Its the kind of music people smile :-)) on the floor when its play.

6 - Zorba - The Rush: I like that track a lot. Its start with a beautiful

melodic melody, and then the bass comes in. Its very dancable on dance floor.

Its have some some Goa melodic in that... Tb303 style.... but still good ....

Good to start a Set... or to finish one too, but it's one of the tracks that

you can gladly smile to when hearing.

7 - Logic Bomb - Logic: Now comes the men from Logic Bomb, its a constant

track, as logic bomb know how to do....killer groove, slick production, very

well thought out structure, and raises the pulse from the beginning, and keeps

it up there until the end. Logic Bomb can keep you asking for more..... but

..as usually .. they dont supply u with that.....

But still a very good track for Logic Bomb fans.

8 - Antidote - Have a Drink: Uhhhm... already release in Antidotecom album from

Solstice Records... I thinks its the worse track from the album. It have a

sample of some liquid falling in a cup ... its the best part of the track. I

think Antidote have better songs... like Geometric.... But its not so bad...u

can listen it !

9 - Synthetic - The Mummy : Like we can say ... it hav esame The Mummy movie

Samples in that. The music start with a DnB touches. At 1:30 the bassdrum

kicks in, and we get the German trance feel. Power, no mercy, no subtle

touches, no going soft, just bassdrum, bassline, percussion, evil effects, we

all know the routine here. Its like other Synthetic style tracks... a kind of

Psy Techno.

Overall, this is a very good compilation. Tip give us another good sounds on

it, new stuff, new projects.

I vote for it as the comp. of the year so far!

[Guest iNFiNiTi500]

Frustratingly waiting for a glorious return of authentic and twisted P S Y ???:

Fear no longer, salvation is nearby. Dunno what dope GMS found on Ibiza lately

but it must be pretty straight stuff 'cause gone are the days of ugly acid

cannon-fodder. As if the remix of -Midnight Sun- isn't briljant enough, -Salva

Divinorium- is the sheer magic we might expect from Simon P. on a very good

day (if he would leave his ambient addiction alone, that is); unmistakenly

deserving the T R A C K of the Y E A R award IMO. -The Big Ship- and -Genetic

Eye- sound a little pale compared to the 1300 Mics mayhem but still decent

enough to set any dancefloor on fire, whereas -Psychedelic Cowboy- is a

faithful and well executed -Pistolero- clone. Clubby ugly duck -The Rush-

should have ended up on Movers and Groovers III and not here. From the

hundreds of trax Logic Bomb contributed to various compilations lately, the

uplifting -Logic- must be their very best with those impressive ultraheavy

bassdrums and nicely progressing melody changes. -Have A Drink- starts as a

track that escaped from Total Eclipse's Access Denied album but towards the

end its a pleasant psychedelic fest. Great track. More cliched Hollywood

Blockbuster samples in the 3DVision styled -Mummy-, by far the heaviest and

most minimalistic track on here and although not 100% my taste, its certainly

bearable. TIPWORLD apparantly has a well developed sense to visionise what the

psyscene needs right now, with -Assassi-Nations- as clear evidence. Add

another vote for compil of the year...Rating: Essential

[Guest Dandoo Forest]

3,9 good

the rest is CHEESE

[Guest biobong]

1,3,7,9 are good tracks 1,3 are fast tempo 7 is logic bomb and they always

sound good and 9 is minimal and very good, very nice comp

[Guest Sadness]

Dunno what's happened with the TIP guys , but i couldn't believ my ears when i

heard thiz shit!

CHEESY AND FLUFFY ALL THE WAY , I THINK THAT YAHEL IS A NIGHT KILLA COMPARING

TO THIZ CRAP !

Don't buy it guys....even TIP makes mistake....

1300 Mics : Salva Divinorium ----------

BEST TRACK OTHER SUCK BIG TIME! GO,GMS,GO!

1/10!

[Guest SchizoEffecteD]

A Classic TIP compilation

[mahoney]

TIP strikes again, this is the best full-on in a very long time.

[Guest Connor]

What a great compilation! The western tune is kind of weird, but otherwise the

comp covers a great range of styles from the most intense full-on, to melodic,

to the dark night style for midnight stomp sessions. Track 3, Salvia

Divinorum - 1300 mics is one of the most incredible tracks I have ever ever

heard, and is certainly the most intense. That buildup and full-on explosion

is masterful. It is noisily unique, but not ugly at all. Now.. as for track

six, this is the best prog trance song I have EVER heard. You minimal animals

steer clear, this song is not even really psy trance but it is a very high

energy track with good vibes and a great build-up. Very good track to cross a

set from prog trance to psy trance. This compilation will go down in TIP

history.

[Guest Cnt97]

HUGE disapointment, some club-trance hits and low quality productions. Even the

Logic track is boring!

Best track on this compilation is Alien Project - Genetic Eye Rmx.

[Guest Cnt97]

btw, The Mummy is OK, but it dies when after the "303-acid" part...

[Guest Macro]

Once i liked TIP but this sampler shows me the opposit ....what happend to

their good old style i miss something hard .....the mummy is the only

playable track of this compilation

[Guest HAch]

best compilation i´ve heard in the last months... 1300 mics and alien project

are the best ones... psychedelic cowboy isn´t weird at all, it´s just that

someones really think that music can´t be funny to be good... anyway i enjoy

this track just like the others... this is a great compilation for those who

really want to have a good time and dance and enjoy music without any other

pretentions.

[Guest Bobhead]

I said im going to search some info from D Tek and Dr. Panic. They are David

Durst and Rodrigo Bails from Mexico City.

David Durst hes been dj since 14 years ago he is one of the best Psychedelic

Trance Djs in Mexico and more cotisade dj in the area

Rodrigo Bails is a profetional Guitar player since 10 years ago.

Well...is that what i could grab !!! C ya all !

Good Vibes

[Guest afterburn5[at]hotmail[dot]com]

David Durst is without any doubt the best dj in Mexico City, his new project

d-tek and Dr. Panic looks promising and here in mexico we wish the best for

David, i think his track is very good, and its the first mexican guy to make

it this far!!!

[Guest [Anonymous]]

when shall we have something new by these guys...?allways the

same sort of compills....sick and tired....give me something new

[Guest pude]

far too cheesy for my taste, but for the full on psy freak it

will do the job..

[Guest Roopak]

I respect the opinions of others even if they are different but I can't fucking

understand them...this is quite simply THE BEST COMPILATION OF THE YEAR!!!!!!

[Guest Sun-Wizard]

Great comp like allways from tip best tracks are 3,5,6,7,8

I really didn't understand why meat head were doing track like reload could

someone olease explain?

[Guest Goa Spirit]

Very very charged music from tip world... well it was expected... 1300 mics,,

heard this one before. totally crazy track... 2 years wait from 1200 mics..

similar sounding track, with the very goa analog line in the back.. more

artists should make music like this.. first and fourth tracks are remixes of

alien project tracks, and they work very well... 2 sounds just like deedrah,

and zorba delivers a nice track, bt nothing mindblowing here.logic deliver a

very very very good track, these guys are just sooo good... antidote, this

track is decent. Synthetic - dado makes techno, and this is the one track that

i didn't like on this cd,... all in all the two tip releases (this one and

dimitri's dat bag) have been burning up dance floors throug the year and now

we have an oppurtunity to own these tracks.. don't even think, get up right

this second and run over to your local trance store and buy this as well as

dimitri's dat bag, you won't be dissapointed...... 8.5/10

Peace

[Basilisk]

[DeathPosture]

Hmmm.... Great comp... 8/10

[Guest AslaK]

But why didn't they put the 1300 Mics track on the LP release

?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[PKS]

I like most of the releaes on TIP.World (I have all of them), but there are

some really bad tracks from time to time. The Movers & Groovers 1 and 2 is too

cheesy for me. Now I`ve got this last one in the Nations series.

Assassi:Nations has som really good tracks, like 1, 3 and 8. When I heard the

Zorba track, I was almost shocked! This is really pure euro trance like Tiesto

etc plays! It`s so far away from psychedelic trance! It is very cheesy, so how

in earth can they put this track on this release?? I have my conclusion. They

are after the money! This song bellongs in the raves where the kids are, or at

comercial Ibica clubs. I think it`s sad. Why, why, why!!!???

[Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA]

Wow!!! I pretty much don't know what else to say. This CD kicks ass from

beginning to end. You have my favorite GMS, then Deedrah, Serge from Total

Eclise, The amazing Logic Bomb, Raja Ram, Alien Project and even a couple new

comers from Mexico give us a little latin feel with Psychadelic Cowboys. Man

everybody start buying up. There is some really good music out right now.
