Review:

 

After long break I was very courious what atomics show us this time.

Compilation made by Dino Psaras should be good, but

believe me it isn't, this album is simply weak. Starts with strange &

weird track from Electric Tease (1/2 Quirk)

intereseting idea, but this tracks could be much better. N-tropics,

sometimes they can make very good tracks, but sometimes

they can't, this time they've made rather poor one & boring. Next one is

classic Etnica's "Robot Rebellion" everybody knows

this track, for me it's one of the best from "Nitrox". The Cydonia's

track is simply tragic, remake of older stuff, annoying

& boring melody, absolutly crappy stuff. Next track from Synchro is

average, nice bassline, good dynamics, but long way to

"Elektrik" from "Behind The Scenes". Mix of Eat Statics "Critical Mass"

is awesome, definetly the best sound on this album,

everything is changing there; cool baslines, great transformation of

styles (from 4/4 to breaks) lot of nice effects. After it

Michael Khlbeckers project, as always, clear bassline, good job, but i

know lot of better from him. Next track is average, a

little funky & clubby, there are moments when it sounds good, but there

are also moments when everything sounds not so intere

sting. Last track is good, for those who like typical club trance, lot

of melodies characteristic for that style, but it's

a good work. Anyway this compilation is a little disapointing, I was

expecting something much better, one great track (6),

a few good (3 - well known, 7,9) 5/10.

somebody should correct the label...

This is a very nice compilation IMO... I like track 3,4,5 and 8 very much...

don't like the last one, to much house influenced IMO. I like Bass Monster and

as Jaminben said the 'tornado' tune is realy insane together with the groovy

bass... this Cydonia track makes the crowd go kakakuku :) ... my favourite is

Robot Rebellion (which is also my favourite on Nitrox)...

 

and a very original cover , i like it... 7/10 for the compilation and 9/10 for

Etnica-track and the cover :)

Remember the days of "kiss the future", "electrosect" and "serial killaz"?

Where's the darkness? Where's the love? What happened Dino? Tell me there is a

secret tortured brain vs psychaos album you guys are saving in the dark

recesses of your minds, because Atomic as it is today... well it's crap.

Pretty disapointing compilation from ATOMIC

I didnt expect such weak release from them. There were only 2 trax that I

liked: N-TROPIC track is cool but not as good as their previous killer on

"Serial Killaz" also LASZIV track was pretty intresting

The WORST track is by Cydonia and ETNICA 3/10

oh yeah , the Updata (Quirk) track is brilliant ... this compilation is a bit

in the Kamaflage (dragonfly) style ... the tracks in Powder are made to sound

smooth . i realy like this and can't understand why so many people dislike the

atomic effort , ok this is not the normal atomic style but releasing the same

sounding stuff every time (like 3DV) is boring ...

once again i recommend to listen to this one , this ain't bad at all .

Not such a good structured compilation...It is not that conceptual and becomes

repetitive at the times...Still, there are some very good progressed songs :

TV IS THE NEW GOD, KISS THIS, CRITICAL MASS ( ! ), ZUSTAND....6.5/10
