Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Xerox - Frequency Drive Artist: Xerox Title: Frequency Drive Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 07'43" Science Is God (Rmx) 02. 07'17" Adrenalin Rush 03. 07'09" Frequency Drive 04. 07'01" Time Code 05. 06'56" Euro-Fresh 06. 07'39" Cosmic 07. 07'37" Fanatical Clubbers 08. 07'13" Crossing Over 09. 07'51" In And Out Review: My first global impress is that one : the best tracks are provided when Xerox made featuring (track 1 with Astrix, 2 with Psy Craft, 7 with Maskalin, 9 with Illumination). Exception coming from Crossing Over,the only solo Xerox tune, which equals the level quality of the co-produced stuffs. In details, i notice 3 parts in Frequency Drive : Full on (tracks 1&2) Groovy Progressive (Tracks 3 to 5) Morning or Clubby PsyTrance (T 6 to 9) One more time It seems that Asrix is really a 'will be' very promising artist as listened to this remix of Science is God. I think i've never heard Tracks in which Astrix is involved that's sounding bad or average ; a Very good one. Another very interesting energic stuff with Psy Craft. Then comes what i name the groovy progressive section of the album. Following Adrenalin Rush, adrenalin is just that lack on these stuffs quite average according to me. I think Xerox is naturally born to produce adrenalin stuffs than groovy progressive ones (Probably this is due to the always remaining Xerox & Freeman's goa-full on stuffs in my mind) ,Euro-fresh is the most interesting with some fun spirit in his sounds but not brainblasting. As for the groovy section, the clubby-morning one lacks a bit of something. Nevertheless, this section is largely better than previous one. Cosmic sounds quite melodic morning alike for me, reminds me partly some Human Blue's tracks on his Electric Roundabout album. Good melodic cluby one with Fanatical Clubbers (previously released on Isralien 3) and as i said before Crossing Over is the best solo Xerox track here more PsyTrance & less clubby. Last one with Illumination is may be the weakest Co-produced track ,less good as Crossing Over but largely above the groovy ones. If you like Israelian typical trance, you'll love this album. Best moments by order: Tracks 1-2 Others good stuffs byr order :7-8-6 Bad ones : 3-4 Final verdict : 7/10 & only 6,5/10 for people who already know Fanatical Clubbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgonator Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Perfect summer party music and a nice blend of Israeli / Euro trance which works for me. Overall this release is much better than I expected. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yan84[at]aquanet[dot]co[dot]il Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 is that, this album is best from the others that released before by xerox...... don't you agree with me ? ? ? 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest opul Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I think this is a grand piece of work, definitely one of my favorite cds at the moment. Some wonderful morning tracks, night stompers and all full-on. I am surprised that nobody mentions track 4 "time code"... I was spinning that yesterday and it totally rules .-) 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lespagnol Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 don t like it that much , it s very repetitive and doesn t explose at any moment.pretty boring ,good to listen one song only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest biox_dh[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Very good album , sometimes club oriented sometimes full-on, with many good tracks for the morning like the old classic science is good now remixed ,another gem here is the track with psycraft a fucking killer, a very good album who is for the dancefloors to put the people dancing. Favorites : 1,2,4,7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest woutski Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Opul you're so right about Time code. I played it during an open air morning set yesterday and it just sounded magical. It's by far the best track on this album if you ask me. The rest is nice but nothing spectacular I think. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Very good album from mr xerox!!! refreshing and mature. Favs 2,3,4,6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Children Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 One of the most interesting albums I heard lately ... yes it sometimes sound clubby influenced, but still fresh, stomping and some tracks are really OUTSTANDING ! I particularly think to tracks 1&8 ... I personally think (not as lespagnol above) there are a lot of "explosions" in this album. This one is better than "Freestyle" for sure, still pretty melodic but not cheesy at all (don't buy it if you're searching for Yahel ultra-clubby trance).

Guest Mr.Hanky Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 *** Moses is back indeed *** and he pumps up alot of parties thsese days as Adrenaline rush is already a huge hit and is the best on the album imo,coming after the smash start with Sciences is god rmx. from then on as said the album takes a different direction, but i like the next track FREQUENCY DRIVE,it has a monstrous kick and is excellent for a begining of a set. COSMIC is also a morning hit,though its bassline is pure Astrix style - but it's all in the (HomMega)family so what the hell. Xerox seems to make a lot of tracks with Illumination thses days(they made two new other tracks)and IN & OUT is another favorite. As for a fullon album i give this one a solid 8.5/10. if u are this kind of a DJ don't pass on,it worx great on da floor, it and if you are a fullon maniac, you will enjoy this spinning in your car.

Tatsu Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 To be honest I'm a little disappointed with this album, maybe because his first two were so brilliant. The first track (Science Is God RMX) is by far the best track on the whole album. The others are somehow to "common", I can't exactly describe it but it sounds like a lot of israeli-clubby-house influenced tracks that are on the market right now. Nothing special Xerox-like in it. As said above, maybe I expected too much because of the two albums or because of Xeorx' DJ sets but I think he could have done much better. Anyway, maybe it takes another couples of listenins until I can get into it but right now I don't like this album too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly tried not reading reviews BEFORE listening to CDs because i seriously considered myself to be biased once i had read someone else's opinion. However, Tatsu, your 2002 words are the same as mine in 2008. First track got me dancing... and progressively i sat back down waiting for the CD to repeat and hear that wonderful track again! Will try it again later, and even though i don't think any of the tracks are actually BAD, they're just nothing special (apart from the first of course, that one kicks ass).
