Basilisk Posted May 11, 2002 Author Share Posted May 11, 2002 Hiscore Xor - Drone IIV / True Freedom Artist: Hiscore Xor Title: Drone IIV / True Freedom Label: Polytox Date: 1995 Track listing: 01. Drone IIV 02. True Freedom Review: Another classic title from Hiscore! This one was released prior to the Identify EP but still contains beautiful music. "Drone IIV" contains a warm atmosphere, bubbling 303s, sweeping pads, and a sound not unlike early Electric Universe songs. This song doesn't explode at any point but remains a satisfactory old style song nonetheless. "True Freedom" on the flip is the real classic here, having been picked up for many CD compilations over the years (such as Sound of Freedom from Transient). The samples here lift the spirits and propel the mind through pure trance, with swirling acid noises and deep buildups. The atmospheres that enter during the climax are dripping with the essence of trance and the ability to transform your experience into something greater. This track most certainly belongs on an enthusiastic dancefloor. Another great EP from the proto-Kopfuss squad. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Selim Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Actually the sample is "lead them to true freedom." Like all of the samples on that classic, classic track ("the sleeper has awakened," etc.), it's from the movie Dune. Does anybody know where I can get Drone IIV on CD???

AutoMath Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 True Freedom. Everytime one of my old techno-partners in crime comes over to my gaff he starts going on about this song and always demands to hear it. Now this track is pure trance escapism at its finest moment. Now, if this is not a KILLER, then what else is. And no I can't agree with the person above who says this track could have been better. Don't bother with the drone IIV track. It's like a monotonous prototype track of the true freedom track, without the kicks, the breaks, the samples and the hooks. Similar to doof's old monotonous "trance-mixes" on the flipsides of his ep's, however not anywhere as good as his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This is another great EP (they only had 2) from this 5 member project. I had to download it because I live in the Southeast US. Goa trance in Roanoke? I'd have a better chance of finding out all the ingredients of the McRib. True Freedom really is a cracker of a track and their most famous. The Drone is a good rumbler in its own right, but lacks the mystique of the former. German trance has a reputation for being so clinical and precise, but these guys brought a liquid, alive feeling to their music. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
