...I too had mixed feelings about this single. I don`t see the benefits of this

more progressive style,, which IMO compared to haltya, is pretty boring.

Allmost all of the stuff which i have heard in this vein, things like 12

moons, S-Range... oh the horror the horror. Monotonous ProgressiveMorning

trance 6/10

Highpersonic Whomen - Clone Collective

 

Artist: Highpersonic Whomen

Title: Clone Collective

Label: Thirteen Productions

Date: 2002

 

Track listing:

 

01. 07'22" Clone Collective

02. 08'15" Space Elevator

 

Review:

 

First of all I'd like to thank Thirteen productions, and especially DJ

Jean-Peter who provided me with this promo. This maxie will be released soon

and be sure to get one from their shop Recreational @ Albertinkatu 28,

Helsinki / Finland. People have finally been promising something new in style

from the finnish scene, and this is it. This is not anymore that

"finnish-madness" style, but instead the sound that has been known more widely

around the world,

actually sounds more darker and fatter israeli style, but I know it's far from

it. Gives me mixed feelings. Frankly, if I would hear this EP somewhere, I

really wouldn't think it's finnish, there's no single thing that reminds me of

it. Group members are Frank Further and Justin Space, lol!

- also known as Haltya project. A-side, Clone collective (145) is the better

track here in my opinion. It has nice gnorly effects, and swirling swooshies

panning all the way. Somehow I feel likethat this track doesn't vary enough...

although the fact is that it varies quite alot, at least the effects. Maybe

hihats and bass are too straight forward, and I don't quite catch the flow.

Kick is hardthumping morning style. But the bass leaves me hoping for

something more suitable to the rest of the track. Pretty good anyway, 8/10.

Flipside offers us a tad slower (142) track. I don't really catch anything

special here either, although it flows quite nicely in the midway. Ah shit, I

can't really find words, but this really isn't bad track either. 7/10 This

stuff overall really is something new in finnish style, but is this what we

desperately need? I think not, as we have heard this sound already. This is

somewhat different, but still. It doesn't really fail in any way, so I can

recommend buying this 12" by any means as soon as it hits the stores. You may

like it very much, if you're into this kind of psy! Waiting for Hypersonix

album to be released, maybe it offers new interesting styles or old finnish

madness ;) bom!

big dissapointment from this talented duo! (pelinpala & outolintu)

definately a big step away from the usual freaky mayhem we have come to expect

from their other projects, but i guess thats the point.

smooth and psychedelic.

Guest frank further

please do NOT compare highpersonic and haltya! they are two different projects

aimed at different audiences. the first is psygressive doof the latter more

funky experi-mentalism. listen to them, find YOUR choice and enjoy.

=everybody is happy : )

Though the info sheet claims this is as far from the usual Finnish music as

ET?s home is from Earth, I can still detect the Finnishness inside. Basically

we have here a moving psychedelic blend of progressive and full on stomps, or

if you want, the Finnish version of the progressive side of things..

The A side, Clone Collective, is fast, loaded, psychedelic and crunchy, a lot

happening all the time around your head and inside it, but always in a small

scale. All that on top of a real happy bouncing rhythm. Excellent acidic

morning tune. On the B side, Space Elevator offers happy groovy rhythms and a

lot of flying sounds topped with subtle sneaky melodies. Easier for the mind

with more feel to it.

 

Bottom Line: excellent psychedelic pieces to groove a morning dancefloor-

groove for the butt, work for the mind.

Highpersonics souds great to my ear! It´s kind of new mixing between psycedelic

and progressive trance and this i like alot!

Lot´s of cool hi-fi efect and defenitly no laptop music!

Also the track wunderbaum on digital drops comp. is superb! And des pudles kern

on fata morgana comp is possably the most beatifull morning trance hit i´ve

every heard!! So smooth... so smooth...

The first serrious piece of music to come out of Finland - ever. Nothing more

to be said about that. it´s the first progressive/psy trance from Finland

setting a landmark - setting the standard for Finnish trance music. I

serriously hope this will not be the last release from these guys and

hopefully more people in Finland will start to make "real" music. Afterall,

you can allways go back making funny littel tweeky sounds if that doesn´t work.
