mars Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 V/A - Fast Forward Artist: Various Title: Fast Forward Label: Neurobiotic Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 07'38" Etnica : The 5 Tones 02. 08'40" Triplex : Superpipelined 03. 08'11" Stuntman : Bionoid Theme 04. 08'29" D-Tector : Ppg 05. 07'49" Molecular : Feel The Heat 06. 08'31" Exanimo : Fear And Loathing 07. 07'44" Altom : Equation 08. 07'25" Stralia : Satellite 09. 10'41" Vibra : Civilizations Review: This is the 3rd compil from the Italian label Neurobiotic. The first track, by Etnica uses the same instruments as in Andromeda (big bassline, rave sounds) but it's far slower. It makes no compromise but it's various, like in Hologram. I think it's a good relaxing piece of music and sampling. Simply pleasant. The Triplex track is really minimal and monotonous at the begining. Then the sounds are almost cracking, it's creepy all along. For minimal specialists. The Stuntman track is really fast and uses lots of hihats. This is a hardtechno track. It should work on a motivated dancefloor. The D-Tector track is rolling and uses some wobbling sounds that run across your brain. the tracks evolves nicely but when you think there's going to be a break, it restarts like before. It's ok but get boring after a few listenings. The Molecular track kicks hard and uses a huge bassline. It's really energetic and evolves into a phase where there is some music. There are two distinct parts in this song. Great. The Examino track attacks your brain quickly with all the constituents of minimal music. The rhythmic was worked on in a good way here. But at 3:40 there is a technodancehousy melody, immediately followed by some music that was changed into soemthing more psychedelic. Personnally i don't like the tracks that use this kind of instruments but it saves it from being too monotonous; moreover this could be ok on some happy dancefloors. The Altom track is the reason why i wrote this review. This is purely awesome : well done, fast, of the nightfullon kind that drives dancefloors crazy. At the begining it sounds like Absolum, but at 2:00 it becomes agressive (aaââh), so you jump inthe air...and at 3:30, the combination of the bassline and the new dark sounds all around make it fantastic. (This break is built like Spirallianz' OneWayLtd, for example). Before some ghosts catch you, the tracks becomes less creepy, keeps its bassline and restarts like in the begining, still agressive. The dark melody comes again later in the background while you're dancin' like a freak !!! The Stralia track *does* sound like an Absolum track. Fast, loaded rhythmic, an avalanche of nordleaded samples, more or less clear and acid...and without a surprise it climbs into a madness of all this at the end... Finally, the Vibra track was also inspired by 3DV labs (what a coincidence). hmmm my opinion is exactly the same as in the previous track! Overall a good compilation that will make you feared by your neighbors, and that will please people that like nightly stomping music in general. Too bad the last 2 tracks don't sound that fresh. I think it is less good than 9 Pills (2nd NEurobiotics compil) but it's worth having, at least for the Altom bomb! 7/10. mars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonimousdude[at]tranceworld[dot Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 the compilation works for the individual that is looking for all sorts of variations in an cd. you have for example progressive with the first few tracks, some progressive and psy trance in the middle with great vocal samples and you have full on in the end so for the individual looking for many different styles of trance this is a good compilation nice to listen to beginning to end highlights are the feel the heat, altom track, the two greek acts in the beginnning, vibra track, and triplex tune. For the individual looking for either a full on or progressive cd dont expect this to do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tchankov I.V. Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Well, the hits consistency is actually stays pretty much the same in the series. That is heard from attentive listening to this issue (or any in the back-catalogue), it is seen from others reviews above, eventually it stinks so! Yet there is still the style is real, I mean the Neurobiotics sense being served alongside these tracks. There's something dark, techy & bold at the same time. And it pierces its way under my stoneskin, leaving my heart untouched, though, but chivers down my spine were sent, that's nuff! My respect goes to Neurobiotics crew for staying true to the route once established while offering the decent amount of progress-ion-elements (just to keep up the pace). 7,5/10.
