Hmmmm, wasn't quite as impressed as Danger above, but it's an o.k. album. I

have the rainbow warrior / mindboggler 12", and I think the album sounds too

much like those 2 tracks, too one-dimensional. The album has a good feel, and

BHC is definitly a cool chewn, but as a whole, I think these guys need to be

more imaginative and original. Kinda shaky production too... 6/10

This is one of my favorite albums at the moment.. necton delivers to us some

serious trance.. very progressive and stomping at the same time.. the first

track is a great intro ... nice build up into a great groove.. pretty much the

story of the whole album.. track 5 is a masterpiece!! some serious stuff going

on in this track,, the way he cuts the BHC melody is amazing.. you hear it in

various forms throughout the track,, and man you can groove all night to this

track.. the whole theme here is very progressive.. each track building up very

nicely.. and then there is the scando influence (goosebumps).. a very nice and

refreshing new release..

only problem is that the tracks sound pretty similar throughout the album.. i

would give it a 7.5/10... and would recommend it as a definite buy/ Bom

Shankar!

Review:

 

Finally Spirit Zone released the first album from a "new", talented group:

Necton. They released some tracks under various labels which are showed their

talents. They have their own unique progressive sound. First track starts with

bubbling sounds, technoid but at near the second half it turns 180 degree!

Tribal drums and lots of other candy! The ending turns back into a more techno

dimension. Next track, Technotest is a deeper one. The third tune is not so

good as the first two, maybe a bit fluffy. Moonwalker coming. The story

continues stomping, pumping, fresh energy. And the fifth track...Beverly Hills

Cop....sheeesh! The top of the album. It's one of Necton's most melodical

tunes... it's a masterpiece! Crystal Overdose pumping up the energy and the

speed to keep the party flowin on... Sadly the Racer is the weakest point of

the album...the last track is one of my favourite Necton track, Rainbow

Warrior's dub remix. Great ending of a great CD.

Awesome album, every track has its own story, build ups are amazing. 9/10

especially for BHC!!! hehe...GET IT!!!

This album is a techno bore. Not good psy-techno, just boring psy-techno. (With

the ubiquitous and annoying techno clap.) (But I like the Beethoven track on

the digital structures album.)

This is too minimalistic, but the authors have found a good receipe. Beverly

Hills Cop & Crystal Overdose are the best tracks. The whole album is too

monotonous but it's far better than zounds of other sh**s released in 2000.

7/10.

Ok - I've only been through this album once, and to tell you the truth, I don't

think I'll go through it again for a little while... I was basically bored by

the entire thing... Sure it had it's moments - but why can't I remember them?

Why did nothing stick in my head? The album is dry and tasteless - that's

why... Hearing Necton's EP's (specifically his awesome track: My Mud is

Bubbling) I was really pumped for this album.... :(

 

Think I'll listen to MOS - Meter instead... :)

maybe he should include some cool lyrics for you to sing to at the dance floor

next time? "oh baby baby why can't we just be together oyyeaahhh".

If you like minimalistic trance then go get this album. it rocks! It's worth

getting just for the GREAT beverly hills cop track. 8/10

I think it's more then average minimal trance. Cool music, with tribal & funky

tunes. I think its worth to buy. I give 7,5/10

Rating: Above average.

None of the tracks are bad but not one of them is incredible either - I like it

a lot as background music.

What the fuck is this??????????? Since I've bought a few albums after eding

reviews saying "it's great" and feeling like throwing it to the garbage after

15 minutes (read my Shidapu review), I've become more cautious. Now, instead

of rushing to the store, I first listened to the tracks that you people say

are "awesome". And they were the first tunes I listened to being released in

2001. I was hoping that in the new millenium shit club music you call goa

would die off and real goa (remeber Astral Projection, Transwave, Prana?...)

would make a comeback... But it seams that shit is here to stay!!!! It's not

even goa!!!!!! Beverly Hills Cop sucks!!!! I FORCED myself to listen it untill

the end, hoping that the "good part" would come... but it never did!!! Listen

to the original soundtrack of the movie, it's better!!! It's simple: if you

want good melodies and psychedelic sounds, listen to REAL goa, if you want

hard beats listen to club music and get the fuck out of here!!!!!!!! 0/10

Let's hope the new millenium will give us something better... Did I say

hope??? I meant let's PRAY!!!!

This is probably the best album i ever heard... real funky beats with good

melody, not that israelli shit, but real nice thing.

The album is real good from track 1 to 8, and i really like beverly hills cop

track!!! what a flashback man!

Great album---beautiful and deep. I found it to be melodic, rhythymic and

constant. Tracks flow nicely---"Moonwalker" really blew me away---nice in the

morning when the mind needs to be calmed yet stimulated. Good work fellas.

This is not goa at all. so don't try to

compare it with goa. this is psytrance. not the boring astral projection shit.

this is a deep album, not great, but good. worth hearing, but i think it would

do better in clubs, not in private. 7,5/10

I agree with the first review here, and would like to add that this album is a

very smooth production!! This works on everyone, especially BHC which is just

soooo good!! An these guys know how to make a really great bassdrum!! I'll

give this a solid 8,5/10 and hope they're busy working on a second album!!

I am already really sick of this album. Problem is that over here in the US,

dj's love stuff like necton, 3 turn etc. which is good for a change, but when

a whole set is based on these groups and more particularly certain albums of

theirs, it gets very very boring... a person can't just keep stomping at the

same beat for over 2 hours.. album lacks staying power, and i am sick of bhc

as well... new rating 5/10

I think its one of the best release in progressive in 2001. Good music, with

lots of tribal drums and good vibes all around . This is the best to listen in

the morning. Best tracks 5 and 7!

no no no no no no...

 

necton, COULD be so could...

 

I love the unique style of kick they have, but this is NOWHERE near as good as

other stuff they have released. There are simply no moments that stick out in

ny memory, nothing to hold my train of thought.

 

it really is a shame, as this is obviously very intelligent, carefully crafted

music. The production quality is excellent, the idea progression is

excellent, but the ideas suck!!!

 

Mohican Circle style necton is far better to my way of thinking... Tribal AND

inspired. Unfortunately, whilst this album is VERY tribal, it sadly lacks any

inspiration.

 

It could however be a guide to how to produce clever minimal psy, i just wish

it was memorable!

 

2/10 to listen

10/10 to admire for production

Better luck next time, maybe they need to release more singles before an album.

Perhaps if more artsists would release more singles before taking the plunge

with an album...They have a few good ideas, but I didn't find this as

mindbending as other albums, it is almost too housey on some tracks. That

said, I like the Deliverence sample.
