Guest Ubik Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 V/A - First Flight Artist: Various Title: First Flight Label: Flying Rhino Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. 08'14" Slinky Wizard : Lunar Juice (Hallucinogen Moon Strudel Rmx) 02. 11'18" Pleiadians : Zeta Reticuli (Lazy Spiral Rmx) 03. 07'51" Slinky Nuns : Shitty Stick (Better Than A Poke In The eye With A) 04. 09'07" Hallucinogen : Trancespotter 05. 09'26" Sheyba : Trance Africa Express 06. 08'41" Slinky Wizard : Funkus Munkus 07. 08'59" Technossomy : Indiginus 08. 09'19" X-Dream : Create Your Own Happiness Review: Very good comp ! The remix of Lunar Juice is better than the original (which can be found on the TIP yellow comp) which was already good. The Pleiadians track is good but it's maybe a bit too long to be excellent, and it's not as good as the tracks on the IFO album. The Slinky Nuns tracks is also very good. Trancespotter is one of my favourite on the deranger album and works very well here. The Sheyba track is not very complicated but it's quite cool with a strong bassline and some jungle sounds Funkus Munkus and Create our own happiness are very good and the technossomy track is not the best but still enjoyable. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stathis_gti Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 Sheyba-Trance africa express is a party killer!I first heard it in a party 3 years ago and since then i love it.The elephant sound is nice.Generally, it's a very good comp and worth buying if it could be found...8,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted March 19, 2000 Share Posted March 19, 2000 Close to five years old, but has held up far better than most comps of the era. Even though it's a comp, it holds up as an album end-to-end. Trippy fractal art for which I always have a soft spot. Worth buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 The original Flying Rhino masterpiece... it's still a solid piece of Goa trance. Essential listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 VERY GOOD COMPILATION...Everyone should have it....9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Great compilation....Other flights don't have this spacey feeling to it, but more minimal and progressive...All songs are good but especially LUNAR JUICE, SHITTY STICK, TRANCESPOTTER, TRANCE AFRICA EXPRESS, FUNKUS MUNKUS AND CREATE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS... 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ganesha Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 trance african express is one of the best songs to play at a party in my opinion..incredible vibe-enhancer! bom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quetzalgoatl Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Waw Slinky Nuns what a good track that is!!!!!!! And the title is too funny to be true!!!!! Zeta Reticuli is also very good (as usual for Pleiadians). Funkus Munkus on the other hand is not that good. The rest I don't know yet, but I will soon!!!

Guest Quetzalgoatl Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 With no connotation on it, I don't think Trance Africa Express is a that good song... Maybe it needs a few more listens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 An essential compilation. Absolute brilliance. Slinky Wizard : Lunar Juice (Hallucinogen Moon Strudel Rmx) Amazing, classic slink wizard Pleiadians : Zeta Reticuli (Lazy Spiral Rmx) One of the better Pleiadians tracks says a lot Slinky Nuns : Shitty Stick (Better Than A Poke In The eye With A) Another great slinky track, brilliance (and a great title too) Hallucinogen : Trancespotter Probably the weakest track on the comp which says alot for this comp Sheyba : Trance Africa Express very nice, very african sounding Slinky Wizard : Funkus Munkus how many slinky wizard tracks can you have on eone comp? not enough! Technossomy : Indiginus Everything by technossomy is gold as is this X-Dream : Create Your Own Happiness what can you say? classic What an amazing collection of tunes I could do without the slightly weaker Hallucinogen track but I'm sure someone will tell me how wrong I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rino Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I've been playing this on repeat since the Raja Ram/Simon Posford, Green Nuns Of The Revolution, X-Dream and James Monro retrodelic performances @ this year's O.Z.O.R.A. My style is deviant sex and gratuitous violence, vocabulary and science - yes, an uneasy alliance. This compilation is sicker than sperm cells with syphilis germs, with the tracks being hotter than my dick is when I piss and it burns! All you really need is music this good to give you wet dreams, and you can get your rocks off like erosion in streams. "First Flight" is a hard drive, the remainder out there is merely a floppy disk. Further analysis would make the hair on the back of my neck grow, interrupt the music's flow, and make less sense than a dyke using a dildo. So raw and in your grill you will need a peg leg with a kickstand to walk about afterwards. Flying Rhino in retrospective full effect is something you have never seen before, like your grandparents at it behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No discussion needed. I'm sorry? What was that? I can't hear your argument because the awesome is so f*cking loud. Even the artwork drowns out your meager and febrile protestations. Proper goa trance as it was meant to be. I even like the track with the jungle sounds. And to end with We Created Our Own Happiness? Ladies and Gentlemen that is what we in the business call a closer "Thank you Cleveland!" Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
