Review:

 

At first I was quite reluctant to buy this CD because it is compiled by Ninja,

who is an awful DJ who often plays in France, but here I have to admit that

the tracks he selected are nearly all good ones.The BPC track is really

good.It sounds a little bit housey sometimes, but I really got into it and

like it very much.The cameleon track is really original, between minimal and

psychedelic, with some nice sounds moving around you...great.The Syncro track

is a little boring actually.Just a basic kick with a boring sample, it is not

really to my taste even though I like minimal trance.The Yumade track is

probably the best one of the compilation, it reminds me Still Smack Pool on

Monarchy, a killer track, with powerful percussions, a nice bassline and a

great kick.The neuromotor is a typical neuromotor track, between minimal and

full-on stuff, it sounds too much like all the 3DV stuff but it's a track that

works fine for me.The BF track is excellent, but maybe is it because I usually

like Bamboo Forest very much.Remember their awesome track "masher" on the 6th

flight comp? yes, it sounds the same, it's so good:)The S-range and the Son

Kite trax are on their respective albums so I'm not going to describe them but

know that they simply rocks.The toires track is here to tell you in a

beautiful way that the journey has to stop somewhere, and this nice ambient

track is always a pleasure to listen to when you want to chill a little.

finally, we can criticise this comp because it has two previously released

tracks but the other ones are really good enough to make this CD worth

buying.8.5/10

totaly agree with you. very good comp with very good tracks neuromotor, srange

and son kite (released before but..) and last but not least a wonderful Bamboo

Forest !!

Largely better than the "Password is love" comp.

8/10

Agree too!

For the most, the compile is purely energetic, inspiring, trippy and wavy...

Cameleon track suxx! sorry! but this time, i wonder what did Stephane do with

this track???!

The same for synchro! Boring track...

For the rest, enjoy!

As guys above said, it's an honest goa CD ; however, some tracks like Yumade or

Synchro ( who has done tracks 10 times better ) sucks.

The others tracks are good ( 1,2,6,8), but the best are obviously SRange and

Neuromotor, tracks repetitive and very very energetic.

The CD ends with an excellent ambient track, Toires, one of my favourites

ambient tracks. 8/10

To me a great compilation in that it has really been designed well : the first

one (BPC) is a perfect way to enter the trance as well as the last one

(Toires) is perfect for getting gently out of it. I feel Yumade, BF and

Srange's are the three that put you most into trance, forcing your body to

move. I also feel that Neuromotor is the greatest in the way that it really

drives you mad and locks you in a psychedelic universe.

To finish with I would say that the one from synchro is also great though it

differs from the spirit of this comp. 9/10

Wasn't "masher" from sixth flight ManMadeMan? 'cause Tequila was making it

sound like that was a Bamboo Forest track. Oh well, maybe it was just the

tequila talking...

THE CAMELEON TRACK IS LOVELY!!! Clear psychedelic metallic professional sounds!

Best track here, with Bamboo Forest, of course... Synchro and BPC made a good

work here too. The rest, maybe later...
