This is stil the greatest album that ever came out, some of you cannot

understand how complex these songs are...all the sounds blend in so

perfectly..Dennis Tapper is a true artist..I can hardly wait for the new Hux

Flux album...BOM SHIVA SHANKAR!

Well there is good and bad to this album.

Good - Everysong kicks ass. This is one of the best to come out in trance.

Bad - It's not available anymore.

Does anyone know where I can get it?

Frikkin fine album, at first I didn't like Hux Flux, A friend of mine told me

about them but it sounded to.. unexperienced, and uncoordinated i thought, but

now i've listened through the entire album and what a mindblower!! an 8/10!

Guest The space tourist

April 2002.

My Grand daddy had a gold mine in south Africa and when he died he left me

Millions. Now, i was so bored that i decided to blow all my money in one

weekend so i went to SPACE! See my next door neighbor is this very nice

Swedish kid. Kinda computer nerd but a very nice boy. He gave me a copy of Hux

Flux and said to listen to it while i float in space; so as i was floating in

my tin can i put it on. There were all lot of weird noises over a Tchack boom

beat. Hell at some point i though there was something wrong with one of the

reactor. It was so annoying and it went nowhere. Ruined my very expensive week

end indeed! I had a good talk with that kid and told him to stop being so

bloody nationalistic about Sweden and swedish music.There is a whole world

beyond(hey man,I've been to Space) full of people from all kinds of different

countries making interesting stuff. I'm not saying Swedish music sucks, i

actually have a lot of it(so nice you name it twice?) but i thought

psychedelic trance was suposed to broaden your horizons.(it's not football, is

it?)By the way,I'm broke, back on earth,i see my face on TV all the time,My

life sucks please send me liquid so that i can go back to space!

Guest just someone else

I agree with the anphetamine stuff, i think this is like logic bomb in full on

force, with mekanical and very artificial sounds with a dark touch and a robot

feel like trip, just listen to it and u will get the picture for X sample

"experimenting with potions" this one is really funny and groovy, by the way

you rule here on mexico, we are waiting for your next album, at least give us

an EP.

I don't know if there is some sort of a conspiracy here, but no matter how many

times I listen to this album, only one word comes to mind - BORING!!! Yes I'm

not a big fan of minimal trance, but this is nothing more then a bassline with

a repetetive buzzing sound every 1 or 2 minutes. How can people even compare

this with X-Dream or Logic Bomb? Or evem GMS (which I dont like too much

either) sounds more interesting. Buy this album if you enjoy listening to

your washing machine. Otherwise spen your money on something else .. ANYTHING

else. 2/10

You are completely clueless thinking that this is a "minimal" albulm!! Trying

listening to this (an original, not .mp3) with headphones and tell me that it

is minimal - no way! Hux Flux's style and production is stellar. This is by

far one of the BEST releases to date! Even being 4 years old it still holds

up strong. This release should be in everyone's library! ^_^

This album I'd say to be the most "mind-blowing" I've heard - I don't listen to it as much as I did at first but each time I do I'm just bowled over...

 

Avatar label has re-released this - if you haven't got/heard Hux Flux "Cryptic Crunch" do yourself a favor and pick it up...

 

Hux Flux have this absolutely MASSIVE style - once you know them, you can tell a Hux Flux track right away - it's sort of a "Cosmic computer geek meets cracked-out robot" type style....

 

It's just so fuckin righteous sounding - off-the wall, tongue-in-cheek-psytrance...

I just don't get it!

I have the rerelease only

It's okay but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece or Perfect.

Some tracks are really good some are a bit too noisy & some I find a bit boring.

Maybe I should give it a few more listens but so far.... meh

I just recently revisited this album, and I think it was right after the 4th Schlabbaduerst installation came to an end. I just felt like putting this one on, and... Well, the only thing that came into my mind was Blitzkreig! Why one may ask? Well in the same manner of Germany's relentless, merciless, agressive and persistent war strategy, this album constantly attacks and bombards from each and every pore it has through the whole 9 tracks. "Cryptic crunch" is bound to subdue any listener with its intensity and rawness, the same way most european cities succumbed to Germany's enormous war machine back in the day. What I mean is that this a complete ear slaughter, heavy cerebrum devastating music, and I don't think these guys gave a fuck whether you approved it or not. They just came, and well, dropped the bomb. Tons of 'em to be more precise! Doing a track by track here is pointless as there is nothing dull or cheesy here, and IMO there are no single track standouts, as the whole thing simply rocks. The album's insane attitude leaves me with a god damn speech impediment! More then any other 1999 release, this oozes originality, quality, and above all, the top notch in your face psychedelia! This is psychedelic as hell, and I really mean psychedelic- a true genre defining album!

 

Listening to this, I guess you could imagine how Uma Thurman felt when John Travolta pierced her chest with the adrenaline shot in "Pulp Fiction"... WOW!!! I'm back and living again! :)

 

I bet my left arm, and I think I'd have slim chances of losing, that any of these tracks here would pierce a whole through the newest and loudest speaker, even today! What a C-L-A-S-S-I-C -!-!-! Not even I liked it upon the first listen, but now... A few albums grew on me so nicely and still sound fresh so many years after their original release. Essential!

it was revolutionary in 1998 their their first tracks,

it's totally different hearing this album in 2006,

compared to listening it 1998 with a certain goa persperctive

I remember when i first started partying, hux flux was considered the most far out psychedelic thing out there.... they were innovating in the sounds they used and just the trippyness of their tracks. its a completely different sound compared to other groups at that time. now it sounds regular but they were one of the first

 

guess what, I just bought CC :D
