V/A - Chakra Violet


DeathPosture

Recommended Posts

Well the other Chakras were warmed-up old TIP records comps, so it's no

surprise that a Bob Marley vibe [i.e., 30 years old and often-imitated around

the world] is the most original that this crew can come up with. I find it

amazing that this is the same label as the D.Drum releases: The Delta, Midi

Miliz et al.

Dissapointment, that's the only word that came to my mind listening to this

piece of plastic destined to be on my wall as a mirror. Boring stuff. Tracks

that stand out are Electron Wave and Dragon Master.... Unspiring stuff 4/10

Review:

 

Fifth colour in the Chakra-series from German label Nova Tekk.Let's go

straight to a short description of each track.

#1 is well-named "Towards The Groove" 'cause this is a laid-back groovy track.

Doesn't really grab me this one.

 

#2 is better, and actually has sounds that sounds like "Kirk Farts".. Ehh. Yes, this is a fast,

full-on Israeli track. I have no idea whether GMO is an Israeli act.

Actually I think he's German, but his sound isn't!

 

#3 starts with this "Ding Dang" sample, and I'm not sure but I think it's from the classic E-Rection track "Smoke My Dinga-long"!?. Pretty decent track.

 

#4 increases the bpm-count with a very fast track from Psycho Abstract. Average track.

 

#5 is the most interesting track so far. It has this darkish atmosphere to it.Though it still has melodies.Oh yeah, and some girl is

looking for an answer here! *s* Best track so far.

 

#6 starts pretty ok, but then this annoying German tekkno-bass starts. I'm usually fond of bass-lines, but this one just doesn't do it for me.It totally destroys the

track.

 

#7 Ahh.. Good old Chi-a.d. . You can't go wrong with Mr. Young. This is actually a good example of how a bass-line works. Classic Chi-a.d. sound.

Very melodic and heavy usage of synths. Pretty good, but also pretty predictable. Not the best Chi-a.d. track, but it sound better when it's on a comp filled with boring tracks! .

 

Moving on to #8. At first you think this is a Bob Marley track, but the psychedelia soon kicks in, and this actually is a pretty good track. The whole Bob Marley-feel is very original! Cool! Oh Btw it says on the cover that the length of this track is 08'18" but

actually it's only 07'45". Dunno what the hell's up?

 

Finally we have #9

which is a pretty dark track. More towards the minimal sound than the rest

of this comp. Perhaps this is a taste of what the next Chakra Black [?] will

sound like? I don't know, but this is a decent track. To sum up, best tracks

are 5 & 8 which I like. The rest is average, so be sure to listen to this

before you buy it. It's not the same high quality as the older Chakra's.And

there are SO MANY other great compilations out this year that you should get

instead of this boring piece of plastic. I cannot stretch myself to giving

this more than 5.5/10!

Pretty good compilation...First song has nothin to do with trance, skip

it...Third song is pretty boring too...Rest is pretty good but especially KIRK

FART, LOS COLOMBAIRES UNICEJAS, VORTEX ( amazing song, real classic, pure goa

trance,worth getting the whole disc actually ), TRANSPARENT SEA ( great CHI -

A.D. song, typical sounds and pretty good melody )....WOODHEAD and VOODOOCHILD

are just listenable..6.5/10
