shahar@isratrance Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 V/A - First Step Artist: Various Title: First Step Label: Parvati Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 06'49" Droidsect : Supernatural 02. 06'48" Mic : Electro Jump 03. 06'17" Neutral Control : Space Pigz 04. 07'47" Color Drops : Corner Dog 05. 07'44" Droidsect : Poltergeist 06. 08'48" Dark Nebula : Vulcanized In Rubber 07. 07'22" Psilo Cowboys : Keyboard Cowboys 08. 06'57" Mic In The Bush : Dada 09. 07'05" Nightshade : The Game Review: So here is the second of my chaotic trance compilation reviews, and this one is more challenging (not always on the positive aspect). Parvati is a new young label from Denmark, most names here were unknown to me. Droidsect with the first track (one of two), Supernatural. Hmmm... shame these guys broke up, they really had something going in there- total chaos, yet, it stays together, and the story holds. The sounds catch the mind, and the rhythms are doing it. I like. Mic follows in tune, a lot of scratches, straight on the brain. Nice groove, cute break, a fun nutty track- I think this name should be memorized. Neutral Control's Space Pigz (T3) fails to do it to me- nothing that I haven't heard before, and the sound is bad. Two minutes of light near the end- should have worked with that. Color Drops follow- "Earth man! What a shit hole!"- Quite an opening statement. It feels as if behind all the squeaks and distorted scratches, hides a lot of defiance and some loneliness. Nice percussion sections and grooves. Droidsect are back with Poltergeist (T5)- more full on, 3D-Vision-like, spookiness conveyed, but nothing too moving in this one. Dark Nebula are the Ozzie connection- fast, hard, dark, hectic, lots of sawing sounds- a lot of mess. Too much for me- the story is totally lost on me. And is there some Oompa Loompa craze downunder? What's with all these Charlie and the Chocolate Factory samples? Psilo Cowboys continue with Keyboard Cowboys (T7)- a lot of scratches, robot whistles, computer droppings, and a very cute name (though the sample doesn't sound too good). Than Mic is back, this time in the Bush, with Dada (T8), happy nutty sounds, great samples, constantly changing and evolving, layering in and out- this guy makes the kind of music that puts a silly smile on your face with glints of madness in your eyes while you dance crazily in a party. Nightshade end with The Game- A bit of a different tune here, and a nice surprise in the end of the CD. Great tribal percussion, crazy drumming, a lot of maddened scratching. Again the sound and mix need some work, but this is really a good one. Bottom Line: The sound of the crazy underground, a bit immature, but very fresh and shows some new directions. Again, needs more attention in the sound department. I'll follow Pravati in the future as well as Mic & Nightshade. Favorites: 1, 2, 4, 8, 9.

Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I'm listening to this whole CD right now for the first time and am currently on the Dark Nebula track with the Oompa Loompas from The Willy Wonka movie. Pretty nice sample. Funny shit, but kind of creepy at the same time. Great dark trance in my opinion. Very Psychadelic and evil as it should be. Does anyone know when Droidsect is due to release an album?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
