Anoebis Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 V/A - Future Navigators 2 Artist: Various Title: Future Navigators 2 Label: MDMA Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 06'56" Infected Mushroom : Wider 02. 07'40" Tim Schuldt : 7 03. 06'28" GMS Vs Earthling : Wheese Balls 04. 08'44" Space Cat : Space Cats (Rmx) 05. 07'35" Talamasca : Telepathic Atmospheres (Live Mix) 06. 07'57" Total Eclipse : Alternatif 07. 08'27" Oforia : Impuls 08. 08'13" Future Prophecy : The Second Room (Rmx) 09. 10'54" Etnica : Trip Tonight (Rmx) Review: Good compilation again from MDMA-Records with some real killers!! Let's start with the Infected Mushroom song... it's rather soft and definetely in the "Classical Mushroom-styl" But the final is good as always!! Tim Schuldt has also a rather soft song here with lots of guitar, but I don't like this song very much... (Strange, because normally I like Tim Schuldt stuff...) After that we get more dance-stuff from GMS... This song is really good and véry psychedelic!! It's followed by the remix of Space Cats and this song is a KILLER!! Really great stuff, not really hard but it makes you fly... And then there's the most dance-floor orientated song on this CD... the Live version of the great song Telepathic Atmosphere... It's as good as the original, but the end isn't as explosive as the original!! Song 6 is from Total Eclpise and here they show that they are completely back after their dissapointing album... Many good melodies and a good rhytm!! Song 7 is from Oforia and I really DON'T like that song, it's really too soft and not Oforia-style... (( After that we have the remix of the X-Dream song of Future Prophecy... Well, it sounds good of course, but it's almost the same as the original, altough some melodies are different... And the last song is the bést song of this CD... Etnica released that song already on an EP but now it's also on CD, and I can only say that song is simply pérfect!! In my opinion it's even the bést song the Italians have ever made!! So this CD is certainly worth your money!! In fact it's a crime if you don't have it because of the Etnica song (and partly because of song 3,4,5!) This gets an 8/10 of me (because of 2 And 7, otherwise it would have been more...)!

freak51 Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Oh what a surprise. Future Prophecy remixed an X-Dream song. Guys, don't be afraid to write your own material; you do have some talent. But that's just being catty; I'll probably go buy this record anyway to get the Trip Tonite Remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 This album was a nice one... Started of with the infected minimal style...the buildups are very typical Infetced style in the song...goes into tim shultd..the Gms and Space Cats tracks are lovely... definate dancefloor killers... Telepatic Atmosphere(live mix) speaks for itself... but trip tonight is one of the best ones.. I would give this album 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bauer[at]scheune[dot]net Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Very good comp ! Only the Oforia track is not my style but the rest is fantastic !! Favorites 2,4,8 and of course 9. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Not a great compilation, despite the line-up... I think they really dropped the ball on this one. Etnica is dope though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexG Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 i dont agree kodos: this is one of the best comps this year! all track are great (except i dont like infected track), but total eclipse and etnica are amazing! also great are oforia, space cat, future prophecy. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPosture Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Pretty average comp.... The Etnica and Talamasca tracks are amazing... Infected is somewhat .... Not infected! :-( ... But all in all this is fairly good... 7.1/10 Bom shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2ct-2 Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 Good sounds all round BUT that Future prophecy track has to be one of the most beautiful tracks I have ever heard and is still X-Dreams best track. I wondered who it was when Dino laid it down-nice one and worth it alone for just this track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJ Spottycat Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 I'm very glad I bought this compil! The Infected Mushroom track was surprisingly boring until the very end, and the Oforia track was a little fluffy and cheesy. I will definately be playing some of these at the next party I play at. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narwhal Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Except for the Oforia track (Ofer Dykovski has much better ones) this is a very nice compilation. The Tim Schuldt track sounds very original and fits very well with his track on the new Aurinko ("Catcher") compilation. My favourite,together with the Total Eclipse and the wonderful Etnica remix. Can't wait for future Future Navigators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zodiac[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 One of the greatest compils I have in my collection...the greatest track on this one is track 5...Talamasca can really make you go crazy on the dance floor...this is a 9/10...dont miss this exellent compil...

Guest Sun-Wizard Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 one of my favourite comp best track is tim's stuff one of the best tracks ever I also like IM track GMS and the greatest Space Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popeneil[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Important to note that the Etnica track isn't included on the vinyl release of this compilation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djcpr[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 A very well rounded compilation and one that I will be playing quite a bit I'm sure. Wider is the sh"t, and so are the Talamasca and GMS tracks. But Oforia and Tim Schuldt are the weakest tracks, but if you can perfectly beat match then you can do alot with both tracks. Overall: 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_shih[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 very decent compilation here. track one disappointed a lot of people, but i enjoy it. mostly it just sets the mood - it's kind of a spacey, almost ambient track. track 2 is nice - fun to listen to with nice driving synths, but not really noteworthy. the third track is pretty cool - lots of wacked-out psychedelic sounds in a very interesting arrangement. track four is the highlight of this compilation for me - i haven't heard the original track, but it's hard to imagine it being better than this. a teasing, funky rhythm starts things out and then a little staccato melody comes in, which sets up the grand finale, a huge killer melody that sends you floating through the sky! track five is a badass storming track - very, very uplifting and energizing. you can really tell it's the live mix; it makes me want to bounce off the walls! track six is an average track - a little bit boring, and disappointing for total eclipse. the seventh track is really pretty bad and it's fluffy and sterile enough to be the theme song for an american family sitcom. at track eight things pick up again with a very psychedelic and interesting song that's just fun to listen to. i haven't heard the original, but if this remix is much different from it, then it is very clever and innovative. finally we come to the song everyone's excited about, etnica's trip tonight remix. it's uptempo, very stylish, and does not disappoint. all in all a cool compilation with only two not-great tracks (6 and 7) that are not offensive. grab it if you see it, 7.5/10.

yerg Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Great comp. It is always nice to hear some of the lost gems - every track is different and they're all very good. Faves are: GMS Vs Earthling - Cheese Balls, Talamasca - Telepathic Atmosphere, Total Eclipse - Alternatif, X-Dream - The 2nd Room (Future Prophecy Remix) and of course Etnica - Trip Tonite (Remix).

mephistopheles Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Indeed a great compilation! A typical (back then = great) IM-track for starters, a psychedelic ballad Tim schuldt-style followed by two great tracks from GMS (yes...?!) and Avi SpaceCat... The Talamasca live version isn't as good as the original on Beyond the mask but still more than decent..... Then 2 tracks I don't like: Total Eclipse - Altenatif and Oforia - Impulse....(and I like Oforia a lot....) Finishing this comp are two classics in a modern version: Future Prophecy's rmx for X-Dreams' - The 2nd room......leaning towards the original, very much so......and Etnica's rmx for their überclassic Trip Tonite........ :posford: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
