Review:

 

Finally an album from Greek nutters Micky & Uriel who together are better

known as Wizzy Noise. Let me start this review by saying that this is

REALLY good. I haven't stopped listening to this since I got it. The album

has FULLY adopted the modern Euro-minimalistic style, but as some other

acts, this actually doesn't sound boring or repetitive. It works, and the

result is a VERY progressive, minimalistic and EXTREMELY psychedelic album.

As most minimalistic psy-trance, this sounds best on BIG ASS SOUNDSYSTEMS or

in headphones.. And I can't wait 'til hearing these fine tracks at parties.

Best tracks: ALL OF 'EM!. Yeah, I can't really name any standouts, as all

these tracks work for me. All are sprinkled with well-fitting samples and

all in all this is a VERY GOOD debut-album from Wizzy Noise! And if you're

into the whole minimalistic Yumade-Spirallianz-Paps-etc thing, then GET

THIS! You will NOT be disappointed! Rating 9/10 Bom shankar

Very, very nice. Hard, smooth lubbiness with nice overlays. The whole disk is

nice but, Infernal Pod and Xpanded are the best. It is minimal so, those that

don't like the Yumade, Son Kite, Necton, Spirallianz direction of trance can

skip this. But, in my opinion, you're missing out on something great if you

do. 9/10.

Ok. This is a quality release for sure. But it lacks something, just as Noma's

album did... I dont know what really.... I love other tracks by Wizzy Noise

like Wizzy Dominance and Space Boy ... they more psychedelic I think. First

tracks are almost too "technoish" for my taste. Maybe I'll listen to this

another day.

Like many artists, their singles are better that their albums. Tracks like

Brain Machine, army freaks mickey are 10 times better than tracks on this

album.

 

The album is pretty well too, but no as good as their singles. I thinks it is

too psy-techno, not enought psychedelic and twisting. 7.5/10 for cybermancy

this is the first album i reviewed in a long time, and let me tell you i'm damn

happy it's this one, and not any other. what a fine piece of work! i don't

agree with the reviewer above saying their singles are better: this is just

different. the singles were, for the most part, happy, catchy, and quite

simple tunes, but this...WOW! this is what spirallianz could only hope for!

same level of production, and the same overall take on trance, but this cd is

sooo much (what's the word?)... tastier! or, maybe smoother? whatever! instead

of constantly banging on the same set of notes, these guys overlay a whole

bunch of driving rhythms, and there isn't a boring moment in any track.

beautifully executed, this is techno/trance at it's best! 9.5/10 =)

Wizzy Noise used to be nithzonot producers and now they are the deepest minimal

band. Stop following the fashion and find your own style

Not a bad album, but have to be played on a loud sound system at high level to

be appreciated. Defintely dancefloor oriented.

 

Listen before buying and don't refer to old Wizzy Noise tracks to have an idea

of the content of this album.

Ok.. I have no listened to the album a couple of times now. To appriciate it

you have to:

1...Listen to it LOUD in good speakers and at night time!

2...Be in a party-mood!

3...Like to dance outdoors in the woods ;)

 

It COULD be even better though. Some songs use the same sounds and things like

that, that's boring...Definitly a nice night dancefloor album tho'!...

It's smooth and all.. but the tracks are a little too alike eachother to be put

on the same album... or maybe not?

More laid back than other tracks from them... 7.5/10

A very nice release from zma... i have always really liked this group (twisted

love) and this album is really nice as well... deep and dark, this is

definitely for the darkness of the night... i would love to hear it at a full

moon party.. and i don't really think this is psy techno... maybe feels that

way because of its dark nature. i really liked track 2, 6, 8/// a very nice

job guys..

Great album. A little similar to spiralianz, but without the

choo-choo-train-run-right-over-you element :-) Don't get the wrong idea that

it isn't hard though, cause it is. Listen LOUD. I disagree it must be outdoor

though, I think this would work indoors just as well. I'll just have to try it

and see. I also disagree that their singles are better than their album. It's

strange that no one mentioned track 5, as it stands out along with 2 and 6.

Worst track is 1. 8/10 - Nice but not a masterpiece (it isn't supposed to be),

way above average. Bom! - Raven

One of the great releases. This album is hard-pounding-punch ---a brilliant

concoction. Cybermancy is a realized piece of work that can be listened to

loud, soft, in the bush in the car....wherever you fu%#k'n like. Wizzy Noise

are not followers (as stated above), when Wizzy was doing "Brain Machine" +

"Wizzy Dominance" they were involved in a certain sound and they did it very

well. Nothing is ever constatnt - Evolve and Change.

Thank You Micky & Uriel for the new sounds, I am enjoying them immensely.

Please make your way to Australia...we are waiting!!!

9.5/10

kidney and chronopolous can SMD. This shit fuckin rocks! This is one of the

best hard, dark psytrance albums out there. Highly recommended! (especially

for those in an altered state of mind). 10/10

This album is ok, but the thing that really annoys me is that: (I hope Wizzy

Noise reads this) they use the same loop in I dont know how many songs ,

Vandalists, Tripod and 3-4 songs on the album, I mean guys common a little bit

repetetive.. that makes you not be able to hear any difference between trax..

And second thing that I dont like is that they use those high-pass filter

sounds in the second half of nearly every song.. I mean is it full-on or

minimal??

Anyway I was expecting more diversity from them...

Could have been better. 6/10

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!! What has happened to my heroes and Psy trance in

general? It has all become infected with that minimal trance Yumade, Son Kite

type bolloxs. What happened to fucking classics like "man in the Universe",

"Clean Travelling" "twisted love" etc.If there was one trance act who could

bring back some stomp into trance (except Christof) these guys were it, now

they have regressed into some kind of hairdresser trance. Please somebody

bring back Goatrance or what ever but I reckon Psychedelic trance is losing

its way bigtime!

"Xpanded" is a really killer track. Hmm, I was expecting some loud guitar

samples from Wizzy Noise for their 1st album - duh. But this CD is an

enjoyable psy-dark experience, if you like the new minimalistic noisy way.

Best release of Zillon Mental Anarchie Records! [ 8.5/10 ]

This is really dancefloor oriented, so, as others have said, it MUST be played

LOUD on a good sound system in order to be appreciated. Let me just say when

I heard tracks from this at a party, it really got me to groove to the rhythm.

It definitely DOES work indoors. Good stuff, maybe not for listening, but

DEFINITELY for dancing your ass off to.

Saw them live in London the other day - I have the album as well, and a few of

their earlier tracks. Can't say I like the style that much - too repetitive

and not enough ups and downs to keep you interested. Pretty slick act though,

with none of the electronics problems you more than often get with live acts.

loud unforgiving hard pumping tech/trance...in my opinion i really liked

it..minimal but not overly minimal, some amazing basslines and percussion

these guys sure can throw together some high energy tracks!

9/10 play it loud =^,^=
