Children Posted January 19, 2000 Posted January 19, 2000 Zodiac Youth - Devil Circus Artist: Zodiac Youth Title: Devil Circus Label: Dragonfly Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 07'27" Devil Circus (Elysium Mix) 02. 06'04" False Prophet (Man With No Name Mix) 03. 06'03" Atoms (Angelfish Mix) 04. 07'19" Mr Redeemer (Elysium Mix) 05. 08'13" Mighty Blutwurst (Black Sun Mix) 06. 07'54" Fast Forward The Future (Hallucinogen Mix) 07. 06'01" Don't Smoke Acid (Elysium Mix) 08. 13'07" Fast Forward The Future (Voodoo People Mix) Review: Many people like Track 3, I find it much too repetitive ... other Tracks are "listenable", but none of them is really good ... Rating : 3/10 Quote
freak51 Posted March 31, 2000 Posted March 31, 2000 Hit and miss. Mr. Redeemer and Devil's Circus are decent; the rest is kind of pointless. It took seven years to make this record apparently, which could explain the stale flavour. Quote
Guest omega604[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted September 6, 2000 Posted September 6, 2000 not a totally bad album but nothing impressive. none of the tracks really stand out. good thing i found it used for a ridiculously low price because I wouldn't dish out full price for this. besides, the vinyl pressing SUCKS and it sounds like you're listening to it through a bed matress. I hope the CD isn't like this too Quote
Guest some1 Posted January 19, 2001 Posted January 19, 2001 More of a compilation than a zodiac youth album, nice groovin' melodies and fx from the usual suspects, the hallucinogen track is good if a little cliched by now, mr redeemer, devil's circus and atoms also have their moments Quote
Guest goa[at]goanet[dot]dk Posted February 18, 2001 Posted February 18, 2001 its a very good album, like sayed before nothing very impressive about it, but good. Quote
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted February 19, 2001 Posted February 19, 2001 It's a solid album. Nothing to get cheering about and nothing to get angry about. Soothing, ecclectic at times, also repetetive and not coherent at times. Nuff said! Quote
Guest Rabbitakis[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 2, 2001 Posted November 2, 2001 This album was a very good release back to 1997 it contains mixes from the top groups of 1997 and it was one of the best cds of that year. Devil Circus was one of the best track in 1997 was played all over the parties in the world and FastForwardThe Future is a brilliant remix by Hallucinogen(the Lord of Acid). 8/10 Quote
Guest Quetzalgoatl Posted January 6, 2002 Posted January 6, 2002 All of the tracks are a bit repetitive but he uses beautiful sounds, so it's not that bad. There are also two nice chill out tracks (7&8). I also don't like most of the samples he uses. I have this album for about a year and a half and I never listened to it because I thought of it as being bad, but recently I gave it another chance and I have to say I've heard much much much worser music than this. Now I'm glad I have it. Anyway best tracks 3,4 and 5. Quote
Guest * Vlad * Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Similar to Sun Project, Green nuns, old Juno etc.. Excellent Full On Goa Trance , production quality is perfect. Most of the tracks (especially "fast forward..") were classic hits on the 1997/1998 winter Goa season with their colorful/ powerful/ uplifting/ Psychedelic grooves. There's even a rocky flavour to some tracks, probably due to the fact that Zodiac Youth = Youth (Killing Joke) + Zodiac Mindwarp. The opposite of boring Minimal/Clubby techno that's tryin (unsuccessfully) to take over real Goa Trance ;-) 09/10 Quote
seraph Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Don't have the album but I have DEVIL'S CIRCUS, FALSE PROPHET, MR REDEEMER, FAST FORWARD THE FUTURE and DON'T SMOKE ACID and I can say that is rather good...It is more heavy and mediocre at the times but DEVIL'S CIRCUS and FALSE PROPHET are the best ones...

radi6404 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 It is a trance masterpeace, all tracks are good and there are very good tracks here, aswell, Elysium - don´t smoke Acid, Hallucinogen - Fast forword the future, voodoo people - fast forword the future, and the very beaitufl hidden track, all of them are masterpeaces IMO. A bit cheesy though Quote
yerg Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I thought it was a very good collection of remixes. Quality oldschool goaish sounds. Quote
Charlie Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I thought it absolutely brilliant on release and enjoyed it for many years. When I listen to it today though, I find it wears thin pretty quick so I don't think time has treated it favourably. But I don't know, I suppose it remains a good album, just not the sort of stuff I enjoy at this point in time. Quote
