Basilisk Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I really enjoy CreamCrop but I think this one missed the mark somewhat. Navajo is good however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goagabba Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 This is a deep, grooving progressive comp from Creamcrop, which reminds me a bit of The Next Levels. Triplex start off the journey, with a good starting point for this album. Greek Igneous sauria continue, with their well known minimal groove. Front Minimale is one of my fav's on this compil. Very strong basslines, and a good structure. Yumade's track is okay, and reminds me of the new Klanguage style. Vaishiyas and Flaxid are the same people, and these two songs do sound similar to each other. The next few songs that caught my attention where the two Navajo tracks. A lot of people are voting these into their sets, and are creeping up a lot on favourite lists. The Paps track, is as the name may suggest, an experiment in Electro minmal psy. It's good and interesting. From me 7/10, there could have been something else in there. The Next Levels, are being sold for £1.69 on chaosunlimited.co.uk. Why don't you check that one out. At that price, you won't need to download, this. And just wait for this one to go down in price. Bom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yan84[at]aquanet[dot]co[dot]il Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Creamcrop are one of the planet' finest purveyors of the stripped-down trance sound, and this CD is full of immaculately-produced deep and distant slices of progressive bliss. Triplexs Kavirna is low set and with an almost shuffled feel, very desolate and deep stuff... nightmare future sort of thing. The tempo is a little muddy but this adds to the overall fear factor. Igneous Saurias Thick Rubber is very busy with neat electro-twists on the percussion, the backend is typically sparse with the track's energy coming from the well-layered snares, rims and hats. Impressive stuff. Front Minimale's Bugs In My Acid is a quirky and grinning beast, the mechanical pop-pop keeping things bubbling along while some very creepy noises filter in and out over the top. Yumade's Time Stress is quirky as anything, with distorted stabs sitting in the mix. There's a lot going on in this one, and the effect is of vintage techno and really keeps the pace upbeat, jiggy and funky. Vaishiyas' Icelander is another oddfellow, sort of a George Clinton vibe with seamless changes, twists at every corner, and a totally unique flavour, while Etnoscope's Vattensorja has production that sounds like it's playing a field and a half away at some black acid outdoor party. Navajo & Jens' Dark Age is very in-ya-face, with cascading sounds building up the intensity then gently letting it subside, and again the stabs and analog swirls used are crazy stuff. Paps' Electo Caution is a walk along the bad side of town, with filtered beats going crazy and gradually giving a disjointed, schizophrenic vibe and finally Navajo's Dreamcatcher is a dark and angry boiler, sending shivers down the spine and having a very infectious groove. An impressive release from Creamcrop, showing that minimal doesn't have to be all about stripped down trance that adds a snare every so often to keep things moving. This is genuinely different, innovative stuff that's close to forming a new style all of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
