This comp can be resumed in 2 words : original, crazy. But I think that's what Exogenic label tries to make us discover in each new release. I also got the Haltya album and it also was original and crazy. Of course here you have more variety as we're talking of a compilation. Why original ? Simply cause most of the Tracks here use samples of instruments you're not used to listen in psytrance stuff. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes groovy, lots of styles are mixed with psychedelic sounds. Track 1 contains a very fast & psychedelic crazy melody, with a not too loud bass & battery in background. The snares are more present to your ear than the kick actually, and I think it's better for this Track. Track 2 contains more snare & crazy sounds breaks, not as fast as the first one. On this Track the sounds themselves make the melody, but you never hear lots of sounds at the same time as in a GMS Track for example, that's more scando-oriented. Pretty nice track, but nothing outstanding. Track 3 contains more spacey sounds, with lots of high-pitched samples, as vinyl scratches you hear in rap but sound manipulated to be even more high-pitched. Very crazy tune, maybe a little too crazy sometimes. Track 4 has a louder kick, still with high-pitched sounds, claps & few vocal samples ? the sounds in the last 3 minutes make you think you're playing to an old arcade video game while listening to psytrance ? I like it :-) Track 5 is one of the craziest ones. Very psychedelic (as Track 1), few samples that seem to come from cartoons, not bad but not long enough & still with a little lack of variety imho. Track 6 starts with guitar, seems you're hearing a classic rock intro. The groove that follows makes the whole thing sound very nice. Then a soft kick starts, later in the Track you hear a voice sample you generally are used to hear in more commercial techno tracks, and a jazzy melody then appears, and a flute to finish ? the whole thing still keeps a psychedelic rhythm & pretty fast melodies, but that's not usual psytrance, for sure. One of my favourites one here, as it's very original and I like when different music styles are present in a same Track, that gives it more depth. Track 7 (my favourite) has a " Blues Brothers " style ? yes, you're wondering how a psytrance Track can sound like that, but it really does ) You can hear a trumpet, a flute in background, a very distorted guitar, an harmonica (or sthing like that), an electronic keyboard in the " Doors " style accompanying, and sometimes a man speaking ? that's really original & still fast & psychedelic. Really nice Track imho, but, of course, you have not do dislike " Blues Brothers " style to like it :-) Track 8 is less original than the 2 previous ones, but still has a nice melody. The kick is irregular, the sounds very fast and more low-pitched. There are tribal drums too at the middle of the Track ? original too, not bad, but very fast. The ending melody also makes you think to old video game musics. Track 9 ? nice bassline & kick but ? I don't like the main sounds chosen, don't think they well suit the bassline and ? lack of originality & work ? really sad cause the bassline is very nice. Track 10 seems to start old-school & psychedelic at the beginning, then becomes much too fast ? that ruins all ? some visitors talked about the future of psytrance that might be at 180 BPM, I really don't hope it will ? you suddenly have a nice slow violin melody, and then the fast line starting again ? some tribal sounds in background too, but the melody is really much too fast. Track 11, from the Faggotts, is not for me ? I don't know the Faggotts style that much, but I don't like this Track, it sounds too crazy too. Very high-pitched sounds, with an even faster melody than the previous Track. Then some hard rock style guitar melody, still very fast. This guitar melody is quite nice, but what I don't like in this Track is this "Everybody grooves to the music" sample, which directly comes from a commercial dance song but still has been sound manipulated too sound crazy, a little like in some Infected Mushroom Tracks ? and this too fast rhythm. Overall an irregular compilation, with some really good tunes and some much too crazy ones ? Rating : 5.5/10 (remember a 5.5/10 for me is the same as a 7/10 for many people here, I rarely put notes over 7/10) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapsi Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 Nice new sounds from Finland (and from Sweden by Sienis), but I would have expected something newer and a bit more interesting since most of the tracks are just-well- your plain everyday-psytrance and don't offer a lot of the unexcpected, but i must remind, that there are a few good tracks also A reasonably good compilation anyways if you're just getting into the finnish techno/trance music scene.

Guest jsb Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 no-name label, no-name artists, no-name compilation, always the same crap, always the same formula : 1 bassdrum and 1 redondant bassline with shitty noises over that, you're a whole bunch of bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Anonymous] Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I haven't heard all the tracks but some veeery good stuff here! Definitely the better side of Finnish stygetrance. Omituisten Otusten Kerho must be the best partymusic ever made in Fine-Land! Huopis kicks ass too with his naivistic tracker-tracks. Wool Fields is soooo good it almost makes me cry. Altough I don't see what is the problem with stupid ennglish tracknames this is Finland and we speak suomi here so who R U trying to impress in the outworld Exogenic täh? No this is not technotrance, recommended to those people too who always whine about no melodic/fun/ältsikivaa musaa released nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 If you would get off your stoned ass once and actually listen to the record sober you would sooner or maybes later find out that except for OOK, Huopatossu Mononen and Matkatoimisto, this stinking record has got nothing new to offer! SURE it's finnish but who gives a shit about where it comes from if it's crap! Exogaynic records has put up some great stuff earlier but I think that this time they hit their IHKUAXES into the stone. Finnish psytrance is in complete RECESSION LAMA eli total crap jesus christ allmighty maybe next exogenic release will bring something actually surprising and refreshing instead of the $1 lets-eat-mushrooms-and-escape-from-the-harsh-reality-that-this-music-is-crap-tu nkkaantunut-homesoundi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlueSpectralMonkey Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 play this for grandmas before you slam them with yumade. 2 salavakla . salamakrandaka! mandarakasanapalama! araknandraknansavalakradaknavanaklavas! salamandaralmandasanapandramiggggoooooooooooiz-zoom! 3 and 4 and 5 are floor-tweakers, good for all those foresst nooka sooka and cranny-sizzlers, head scratching twisto-funk. (except i reallly want EVERYONE to stop sampling tv shows and movies, it shifts my focus drastically, the only thing that keeps me on this world... they could remove matrix samples, and i would zoom off into space...)- ahem- 6 is wanker, complete slop, are they trying to make me cry? someones non-goa girlfriend insisted on this one.- in 7 the horns and atari grindy acid is absurdly delicious. - why do some people say stupid shit when nothing is more important? somtimes when i go to trance party i forget english and become a wiggly fuzz magnetospore reactor. -- please change the focking bassline up a bit now and then will you dammit. - inside the juicy-fruit goodness of my overall favorite songs is a burbling ambient flux, some tracks on here are sky-mother-F'ing-high, in a continually new way, freakin stir it up, BOSS. scribbly friction groovies fill up the underneaths and complete willy-nilly silly shakedown massacre! zip-boing! aarrrrrrrrrrgh!

Guest kyrp Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 nice cd.......... but WHY-OH-WHY so normal and predictable? not my cup of EXO tea!? except matkatoimisto, squaremeat & eraser vs yöjalka!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aqua Mental Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Huopatossu Mononen and Matkatoimisto deliver us two wonderful ultra groov-e traxx. Great work!!! OOK is very good when playing live (like last saturday in Metsänhenki party, Otaniemi). One of his tracks has the most beautiful and touching melody I've ever heard, better than the melody in Wool Fields (it's great also). Finland the Funland rocks (in it's own way)...
