Children Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 Psychaos - Cause And Effect Artist: Psychaos Title: Cause And Effect Label: Atomic Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 07'24" Electronic Uncertainty 02. 07'55" Circuit Breaker 03. 08'12" Mad Lane 04. 07'22" Flexual 05. 07'17" Thinkers Blob 06. 06'51" Sonic Chemist 07. 06'46" Power Trip 08. 06'41" Esoterical 09. 06'28" Lazy Beat Review: OK Track 2, Circuit Breaker, is really original and funny to listen to, but this album is REPETITIVE !!!!!! All Tracks are built in the same way !Nearly no variations in the drums from one Track to another Track !!! Moreover there are TOO FEW melodies (nearly just drums and bass ... Tracks 4,5,7 and 9 are extremely poor Tracks) !!!WHY did you build that Joti ? If you want to listen to GOOD Psychaos music, I advice you to find his previous Tracks (in compilations) which are much better and much more psychedelic ! With TRUE melodies :-) Despite of all these bad points, there is good work in the arrangement of these sounds ... the problem is ... the style :-( Rating : 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisdeeACiD Posted January 21, 2000 Share Posted January 21, 2000 hmm.. Must say I agree with you children... very repetitive. Drums + hi-hats and some strange sounds in the background is what most of the tracks are constututed of. There are some tracks that´s worth listening to.. for example Sonic Chemist is pretty good with some full on style together with Esoterical. Get this if you want.. I recommend other tracks by PsyChaos like: PsyChaos, Keyboard Widow, Sound Beams with more.. You just CAN´T compare these songs with this album.. the three tracks mentioned above are some of the best goatrance you can find... 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stu99mk[at]reading.ac[dot]uk Posted February 1, 2000 Share Posted February 1, 2000 I think that cause and effect is a good but not really blasting album!I could say that the bass is a typical joti bass which is never bad!I prefer his old stuff as well!iI could rate it with a 7!

Guest Stathis_gti Posted February 11, 2000 Share Posted February 11, 2000 I disagree with you all.I thing this is the improved Joty style.It has the characteristic bass lines that Joty always use plus more techno style that Atomic likes to use and i love it.I find this very good and better than most of his older songs.My favourite song is Mad lane...9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boomwizard[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted September 24, 2000 Share Posted September 24, 2000 This is an amazing DANCE album, hear it on a big sound system and your feet won't stop moving! Joti's style HAS improved and the sound used here are immensly original. Mad Lane has one of the best b-lines ever created. SO THERE! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fardink[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 Hallo! Joti is a incredible psy-pioneer. This album is good,specially the hypno track:(Mad lane) but: he have a huge of super tracks on dat which is dynamic and real party stuff. I hoped to hear such kind of tracks after his first and longwaited album, but pointless...He is a phenomenal act of the scene!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest manicmagicmmushroomman[at]hotmai Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 Give me Chaos to Order any day over this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 604CodeRed Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Pure magic! This album creates a hypnotic state hardly rivaled by any other. Steady beat and rhythm create the effect, and the incredible psyc sounds create the intensity. Best listened to loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsuko Posted March 18, 2001 Share Posted March 18, 2001 This album has a strange power in my opinion. I think this is released for the dancefloor, nice pumping beats with a progressive line-up... My favourite track is 'flexual', " you don't need " acid to dance on this killar. it's fresh and certainly for the dancefloor... psychedelic rating: 7.5/10 .cover rating : 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 KILLER ALBUM !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest distinctobjects Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Absolutely love this!! First heard this in the record store (on full blast) and it nearly pounded my head off. Thought I was in a club. This is definitely one of those pounding, hard and heavy bass-lined psy trance albums that is meant to be played loud. Really fun, danceable stuff here. If you guys are around Psychaos, I'd love to see you live. (San Fran) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 This is very good and strange album...it definetely describes cause and effect of things. Joti changed but the change is good and very twisted...One track only is missing something and that's the last track, but the name for itself LAZY BEAT says everything actually. So, If you like boyish cute, dark realmz of indian mind you should get this one....9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jigga Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 joti's set at french island was one of the best sets I've ever witnessed! only few others have pulled off what he was from 4am in the morning till 8am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Yes, Joti set is definately one of the best SETS EVER...SO HARD, STOMPING, PUMPING, DARK, CUT EDGE, MESMERIZING....I felt like a mad man on his party...If you're reading this Joti, JUST KEEP UP WITH GOOD WORK !

Guest Dr G Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Hard, metallic, clanging, clangorous, angry melodies, unforgiving, relentless. These are the words I would use to describe this album; and all that I can add is to say that it has been deleted from my collection. I wanted to like it, but just don't, despite my appreciation for its "mental" aspects. 5/10 ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepingzombie Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 strange album ... luckily this forum teached me to listen a new thing a couple of times before rating it ... So : at the first listening Cause and Effect sounded just boring and repetitive to me. What mostly puzzled me was the relative slow bpm, so first perception I have had was a slow drumline with noisy effects placed above. At the second listening I realized that the "noisy effects" were cool arrangements in which "industrial" patterns were teared by acid 303 explosions or minimal synth landscapes. At the further listening, illumination : Cause and Effect is really , I think no term renders better than this, *evil*. Evil, this cd is meant only to damage you. It presents itself minimal but then it unveils very acid moments in which warping synths float on some well studied basslines , with growing flangered/distorted layers underlined by a chill but determined drumline ... and the effect is that you pump up the volume, and dance, dance , dance ... Production is indeed very good : the "minimal" impact slowly leaves place to acid sensations that swallow you into a dark nebula ... This is a cd that needs to be listened to the highest volume. For solitary listening it's good but it may really hurt you , so better share its evilness with other people on a dancefloor. Only weak point I can find in this production is that in some tracks it has some boring moments in which gets repetitive.
