Review:

 

A first compilation from Candyflip after their first release, Wizzy Noise's

album. This is a nice compilation with a solid minimal psychedelic line, but

with a limping start. Still it has few killer tracks and gives us one very

promising new Greek act.

The opening track I really don't like, I find it boring and I don't like the

sound. Drone, a new Greek act shows some promise, a nice three phases track

with a killer return from the break- I would prefer a global cut here- too

long and looses the plot. Malice in Wonderland- the sample and the track name

are great, the track itself doesn't do it for me. All three openers don't

impress in the sound department. Igneou Sauria gets things moving with Cookies

for Rookies (T4), a fast, happy and catchy groove, with constant head twisting

rhythm changes surrounded by a multitude of effects. Unearthed, another new

Greek name for me (how do you manage with these long surnames guys?) with a

real discovery- a killer psycho track that keeps changing and evolving with

good music and good samples, will be a joy to drop on the dancefloor. The kick

could use a facelift, though- but I'm writing down this name for sure. Wizzy

Noise do their thing, Process (T6) is a real dark atmospheric intense piece,

with scratching storming splashes of sounds. Excellent. Eargear follow (T7)

with a totally clubby track, but in no way you have ever heard before- totally

catchy and will make you smile for sure- I just love this one, found myself

using the repeat button with this on. The closing track is a breaky slow

piece, nice, but not more.

Bottom Line: a weak start, gets better in the middle- four excellent tracks,

real gems, inside- Candyflip shows potential. Favorites: 4, 5, 6, 7(!!).

Candyflip...you've done it again. Groovily beautiful! I love the just

different sound going on here. I just got this now in the mail, Psyshop.com

is right on, "it's starts kickin' from the start..." Best are 'Das

Medikament/Kikma', 'Igneous Sauria/Cookies for Rookies, 'Unearthed/Voices of

Electra', 'Wizzy Noise (yeah!)/Process'. Keep up the fab work! Greeks

certainly know what the hell they're doing. :)
