Review:

 

The second best CD of Space Tribe (2000 o.d. is even a littlebit better)!! The

style is like always pretty wicked, trippy and with a pretty hard rhytm and

some funny vocals!! The best songs are 3,5,6,7,8!! But song 2 is absolutely

awesome!! Holy Ganesha, I love that song soooo much!!! Bom Shankar

Well, it's not quite as good as

"The Ultraviolet Catastrophe", but

then what is. Except for "Who's

Nutty" and "Beyond The Subatomic"

(your token slowed-down number

which doesn't really work), all

the songs are awesomely powerful. And I love what he's done with the

samples, ie: Mass Hysteria where

a voice "stutters" like Max Headroom, and pitches up And down to

create a sort of melody. Good stuff. 7.5 out of 10.

I must say I think this is quite a good album. It grew on me more and more

until now when I think it is good. The only thing is that the screachy types

of sounds get a bit too heavy and I think they are a bit too over used. You

can always trust Olli to present his music in a very colourful and pretty cd

case. Though I would have prefferred the same sounds with a lighter feel and

less screachyness, it was surely worth what I paid.

I guess you have to like Olli's style of building layer after layer on top of

eachother in his music. The first time I heard it, it sounded so simple and

boring. His CD covers rock though as always...

Guest 1 good cd thats it

this is the best space tribe cd . period .. all others follow the same boring

psytrance blue print that shoulda been destroyed years ago ..yknow with the

whole 2 movie samples in 1 track routine. this cd atleast has good tracks on

it. all the other cd r shit. olli dresses a bit wierd but I wont hold that

against him. the jungle must rot ppl brains

far from being ollie's best cd, i can say with conviction that this is the

worst (although i have not yet heard heart beat). for those that don't enjoy

the samples ollie typically uses, the ones here are really bad. there are some

good tracks (2,3) but everything else is below average. it seems this cd

copies the style of the first two but doesn't sound as good as them (then in

the later cds ollie gets creative again). i would not say this cd is worth

buying unless you are a hardcore space tribe fan. 6.5/10

first of all for the people who said they didn't like this album there is something wrong with you becuase this album kicks serious ass

I just got the last copy of this CD today and I can honestly say there wasn't a track which i didn't like

plenty of warm crunchy ridgey goa sounds

8.8/10

Listening to this album right now, when I got in some way a bit bored with track 2 "you can be anything", I totally forgot how good "star travellers" was!! Really enjoying this track! it has everything!

 

Whole album is pretty cool actually...

Holy sh*t enough already! The repeated sample usage from Olli is well documented and with hindsight an intervention would've gone a long way. I can't even make the stop me if you've heard this one before joke because well...you've heard this one before. Olli has been around for a long time, but like a lot of students there are some subjects which elude him. Goa trance unfortunately is his. Whether it was because he wanted to be different, didn't apply himself, or was ridiculously high he floated in that trance purgatory somewhere between psy and goa where his music had elements of both, but he wasn't really that good at either of them. I consider him a late bloomer where he found his stride when he began to create the night time full-on sound.

 

So aside from the samples the tracks are so long. 5 minutes into the 2nd track felt like 20. I'd swear it's two minutes of music and then looped for the other 7. There are good parts in tracks, but they are overshadowed by the larger more tedious moments. Of course it's not true for all of the tracks. If the master files for 54 Bass Drums were lost in a fire I don't think we fly the flag at half mast.

 

One thing all the tracks have in common is repetition. Repetition in every aspect. Samples, structure...you name it. This album doesn't go at the top of Olli's resume. To me, it sounds like the music fell asleep at the wheel and then plowed into a farmers market. Then we're all standing around wondering how this could've happened and should seniors get their license taken away.

 

But ah, you...you don't mind if I scoop up a few bags of those Honeycrisp apples do ya?

This is my favourite Space Tribe album. It took two albums for Olli to refine his psychedelic vision and this is the pinnacle of his late 90s efforts. Enjoyable madness from start to finish - highly recommended! 9/10
