Review:

 

This is the first release from Solstice, a new japanese label. Solstice

organise famous psytrance festivals and parties in Japan.

First track is Electronic tease with " let's rock"..a very techno influenced

track, you will like it if you like Atomic style or Nitrox album from Etnica.

Second Track is Synthetic ( aka Deedrah) with "Cosmos 99"...as usual with

synthetic a very strong bass as The Delta could do. A very powerfull track, as

good as "the mummy"

Track 3 is Sonic Fusion with "Tokyo"..it starts with a japanese sound then a

techno repetitive melody...too much techno feeling for me ! I find it quite

boring and too comercial.

Track 4 is Etnica with " Dominator 2000"...a track that could have been in

Nitrox Album....a little bit too minimal, but as usual with Etnica new style,

it must be played lound to enjoy.

Track 5 is "Solstice23" from Tripiatrik. This is the project from Pap's and Pea

from Yumade.. If you like the french minimal sound leaders, you will enjoy.

Otherwise you will hate this track....but don't start a flame war

here.....this is the Tripiatrik usual style.

Track 6 is " Holy War " from Eat Static. An oriental feeling for this

psychedelic ambient track in the first half. It could have been a Toires track

! I heard it in a party without knowing it was an Eat Static track...amazing.

The second part of the track is more psytrance Hallucinogen style ( !) but

always with this oriental touch. Very interesting track because very original.

Very psychedelic as Shpongle can be but with the Eat Static own style. Great

great track, a must have !

Track 7 is Genetic with " Acid reign". A nice track with a good groovy

rythm..and the classical genetic High-Hats !!

Track 8 is " Seven cells" from Koxbox. There was aslo a " Six cells " on the

Koxbox's " Great Unknown" album. " Seven cells" is a remix from " Six

cells"...maybe a little bit more minimal but there is not a lot of change

between the 2 ! Anyway, good track.

Last track is N-Tropic with " Over dub", a mid-tempo track. Interesting.

So, this compilation is very techno influenced as some Atomic compilations can

be. Synthetic, Eat Static, Koxbox and N-tropic tracks are the best ones. The

rest is not great, but always nice except Sonic Fusion track wich is not good.

Rating : 7/10
