Guest Deku81 Posted March 12, 2000 Share Posted March 12, 2000 Hux Flux - Cryptic Crunch Artist: Hux Flux Title: Cryptic Crunch Label: Koyote Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 09'26" Calculus 02. 08'01" Tripple Nipple 03. 08'42" Nemo 04. 08'43" Experimenting With Potions 05. 08'34" Cryptic Crunch 06. 08'47" Short Circuit 07. 08'03" Elixir 08. 08'06" Alkaloid 09. 08'31" Nervoservo Review: !#@$@£&"#"#"££@£@"¤/"=)¤"¤ This album is totally crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen to this album and you won't believe the sounds you'll hear. Is it possible to create such noise that blends together so perfectly in an awesome mix of layers?!!?! You may recognize the feeling from other Koyte releases like Menis - Temporary Insanity , but this is much better!!!! I can't decide which tracks are the best because they're all so very weird and crazy!!!! This album is so mindblowing you won't believe it when you first hear it.. I never heard anything quite like it before actually, except some other Koyte releases that I just mentioned. Listen to those sounds in the beginning of 'Experimenting With Potions' , are they freakin' cool or what? hehe.. i'm amazed by these Swedish guys. Watch out in the Interview section cause there will be an interview with one of the members very soon !!!!! Get this album right away!!!!!!!

Guest Andreas_h80[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted March 12, 2000 Share Posted March 12, 2000 i can only agree this is a knock out!!My favourite must be nr 5 but all are very nice and twisted.10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rough and Rush Posted March 14, 2000 Share Posted March 14, 2000 Not as good as you make it out to be. i was hoping it would be more along the lines of Time Slices but it wasn't. It has a couple of really good tracks like Calculus and Elixir but quite a few of them plod a long and go nowhere. Also some of these tracks have been floating around a while(more than a year) in the Dat mafias hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvin2000 Posted April 1, 2000 Share Posted April 1, 2000 This is a good album in the usual dark Koyote style. Some tracks are more memorable then others though all of them are good (I like tracks 1,2,4,6,8,9 more then others). The different sounds this album mixes are awsome. If you like this kind of music I have to recommand SPIRAL ACTIVE PROJECT by Yacov Biton from krembo records, great night time trance.

Guest Ktaadn Posted April 1, 2000 Share Posted April 1, 2000 Welcome to the harder side of Swededen. Rarely does one release feature such a collection of stormers, but Hux Flux unlocked the secret. "Cryptic Crunch" is at once chaotic and yet perfectly balanced; somehow Hux Flux controls the storm. Get this one and get rattled. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swedish meatballs Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 Sweden is the ultimate paradise for GOA. It's just that all groups are'nt that famous. The best raves are in Sweden. Hux Flux played on Docklands. It was the best night of my life..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted April 7, 2000 Share Posted April 7, 2000 This really is a véry psychedelic CD, and also véry good for the dancefloor!! (Except 4, it's rather slow...) Those Swedish boys know exactly how to make Mushroom-music )) The best songs are nr 1,5,7,8&9!! The only problem is that the style becomes rather boring for listening after a while, so I always put on the CD starting from song 5... )) I hope those Scandinavians will give us more twisted and insane music soon... (especially Battle Of The Future Buddhas...)!!! Bom Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wobblish[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted April 16, 2000 Share Posted April 16, 2000 Upside down and inside out with this frenzy of bleeps. Some tracks go nowhere, but Hux FLux sure make their point. Too bad that they play it at parties too often though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 This album is pretty great in my opinion, It's weird and crazy from track 1 right up to track 9. It's really great to hear how they use all these great layers of different sounds on top of each other. Can't really pick any favourites here, since all tracks are all in the same style, but as I like this style, I can't tell what tracks I like best. I hope they will deliver more soon. 9/10 from me.

Guest Rox Posted April 26, 2000 Share Posted April 26, 2000 Hard to eat this by first time ... But next time is a thunderstormer !!! I don't very like style like that ... but 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisdeeACiD Posted May 14, 2000 Share Posted May 14, 2000 Great. Very "Koyote". Reminds me of the twisted Menis album but as Deku said this one's better and even MORE twisted. So many different sounds all the time that gets inside your head and twistes around like a tornado. The great bassdrums and basslines floats on and you feel free and happy. The production sounds new and fresh with many complicated tunes. Best tracks are "Nemo", "Short Circuit", "Elixir" and "Alkaloid". Only the lack of melodies irritates me sometimes. Get this one if you like crazzzy stuff.. DAMN Short Circuit kicks ASS!! LOVE iT 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 just got this for your all around euphoia- the title "Nervosevo" fits the music quite right. I find this slightly exausting in one piece, but definitely music for those real deep sea moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexG Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 very good album: dark, twisted, and the atmosphere's great. top notch production too. short circuit is a bomb! one of my all-time favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted May 20, 2000 Share Posted May 20, 2000 Gotta revise my opinion here. I still think it's great, though 8/10 is a better mark. Still, madness extraordinaire here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Children Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Yes that's very psychedelic, but a little too noisy for my taste ... I don't really like this style ... I find it a boring after some Tracks ... Best Tracks here seem to be Tracks 1,4,8, but I don't really like other Tracks, particularly Tracks 3&7 (if you want to hear a GOOD modem-sound use on a psychedelic Track, check out Hallucinogen's "Mi Loony Um" one instead of Track 3) Rating : 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Sage Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 Well, don't expect a masterpiece when you buy this one... I'm not saying it's bad, but it lacks some melodies and/or structure. The guys in Hux Flux don't start the tunes with few, soft sounds and build up to a powerful climax, as other groups do... Then, what does it sound like? Well, they use almost the same fat bass as X-Dream (which is nice) and have many harsh electronic FX spinning from left to right... Almost no melodies, only weird, crazy beats and sometimes a bit too squeaky sounds. In the beginning, I couldn't stand it, but now I'm actually fond of some tunes. My favourite tracks are "Tripple Nipple", "Experimenting With Potions", "Short Circuit" and "Alkaloid". An average album with a few highlights... At least I'm not ashamed of being Swedish...

Guest dontcallitgoa[at]please[dot]com Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 someone complained about that the modem sounds better in hallucinogens miloonyum track than in nem0 ..but hey! they did it before hallucinogen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest F-AcTivE Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Okay , time to rate this stuff , Sometimes i love this album and sometimes not , i must be in the right type of mood when i listen to this very psychedelic music .There is almoust no melodies and it took me some time berfore i liked it. My fav track is "Alkaloid" .. love it ! Don't miss the super-kool voice sample in "Experimenting With Potions" ..it makes me lol every time i hear it. The cover art is a shame doe..., but i guess the music is more important then the cd cover Get Hux Flux! RAting: 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
