Review:

 

All tracks are crappy ugly annoying nitzhonot. I

rather hearing my grandma singing Elvis's Are You Lonesome tonight than hearing

nitzhonot. I hate it.... Apart from track 8, Shidapu and Duvdev - End of

Infinity that of course has those same good special infected sounds that we

love.. :) What'a hell that track is doing in a compilation like this??

Yes, it sounds like Infected's early days but we can see in this track what

was the begining of the AMAZING tracks Erez and Duvdev later on came up

with.. It's a shame it found a place between nitzhonot. I'll have to give it

4/10.

hehe you can tell that the earlier reviews were made at a VERY different time in the psy scene.

 

Destination is indeed VERY cheezy, actually reminded me of some Robert Miles.

 

Sphinx up next with a track that is pretty good actually. Some interesting melodies in there.

 

Kailash has a nice climax, it wouldn't bother me to hear this in an oldschool set.

 

Iceman up next with some typical Nitzhonot... don't really like this one as it sounds a bit too childish.

 

Ananda eventually made a name for himself later on in the psy scene. This isn't bad actually, reminded me of some oldschool MFG.

 

Kailash up again with another track, and again pretty close to the "serious" oldschool sound. Again, it wouldn't bother me to hear this in an oldschool set.

 

Trivia which takes some time to build up but has a killer climax around 5:00.

 

Shidapu & Duvdev up next which most people judged just by the name aparently. Ah yes it's funny reading the reviews before mine because it is sooo typical of the scene back then: people only looked at the name and if it was an artist with good reputation they'd instantly say that it is a great track, even when it was shit (as it was the case here). And when you see the turn that Duvdev got in the late 2000s it makes you realize that he always was into commercial crap from the beginning...

 

The closer is another track from Trivia which again is a pretty decent effort with a great climax.

 

Conclusion: It is funny to see how much the secene has evolved since the first reviews on this comp were written. Actually by today's full-on standards this is quite decent. Indeed this is nitzhonot but compared to today it sounds pretty underground and there are some pretty interesting ideas explored in here. 3,5/5
