It was extremely minal sounding, and I was a big fan of the series early on as it had fresh full on sounds. I enjoyed the Ambient cd, cd2, the most. The first cd was good but uncomparable to alot of the top minimal acts, such as Ticon or M.O.S. Here it is track by track- CD 1 Trance: 1. This starts with a nice sample. It has dark ewffects and is very repetitive, very German sounding, I don;t know where Spacefish is from!! I think that if you like Intatc Instinct or Wizzy Noise you will enjoy this alot. 2. Track two starts with a very nice sweeping synth with slight drums over the top, no bass kick. It is very nice sounding at the star, almost brings tears to my eyes. Then it collapses for me. A hard and ugly bassline kicks in, very much like a dark Wizzy Noise. This track had such potential but is killed after the first 30 seconds. One of the owrst for me. 3. This one is a nice track. It has slight Space Tribe effects throughout, though sparingly. It is faster, repetitive, but I can actually enjoy listening to it from start to end. 4. Once again, Wizzy Noise revisited. Fast and dark, a bit more like M.O.S mixed with Wizzy Noise. The sample is nice, one for the hardcore minimal fans!! 5. Here we go yet again!! A slightly slower track. M.O.S but not so well produced. Repetitive, acidy effects, though in smal doses. Goes nowhere. 6. Another full on M.O.S type track!! German minimal trance. No need to go further!! 7. This one is nicer!!! Faster, very acid techno sounding, with slight industrail effects. I like it alot!! After all the earlier tracks, this is my favoutire on the trance cd!! 8. A crappy track. Bad sounding, dodgey effects. Samples of vonverstions in the background, way to much smoked before making this!! 9. An ok track. Goes nowhere. Nuff Said!! CD 2 Ambient: This is what saves the compilation!! Nice ambient!! here we go: 1. A very nice track. Slow bass kick. Verymellow effects. Kinda like floating through space. electriv Universe did a masterful jobe here. Areal journey inwards. 2. Space Tribe takes on a tribal journey, bongo drums over a lazy break beat rhythm. Trippy effects, spaced out samples!! The usually freaky journey by teh dude from Australia!! 3. This one is very much like a Portishead typ track. I could imagine this on a Flying Rhino Fresstyle cd. It is ok. Not muxh to say, slow darka dnvery chilled. Not my fav track here. 4. Very slow, sweeping sound. Not great, but listenable. The keyboards sound slightly Reggae orintated. A nice one, though not amazing. 5. A nice track, though a bit to much like Woob for me. The drum beats don't do it for me. Least favourite by far!! 6. Lovely track. Very much a commercial sound. Lotsa effects, sume guitar. almost along the lines of an LTJ Bukem Earth type project. 7. A nice track. Sweeping melodies, lazy beats. That about sums it all up!! 8. I like this alot!! Very sleepy, very mellow!! I could imagine this on a nice empty beach, lying back with my girlfriend in the sun, not a care in the world!! A journey to paradise!! 9. Verymuch a darker type ambient, with slight drum n bass beats running with it!! A bad example of Psychaos type drum n bass. It is ok but not amazingly great!! All in all this compilation is not great. The earlier ones, 1-5, are much nicer. The trance is only for the hardcore minmal followers. The ambient is ok, but you'd do yourself a favour by getting the latest Earth compilation by LTJ Bukem, he really knows good chill out that goes along these lines. I'd give this a 4/10. This is just my opinion though. Don't hold it against me . See Y'all in the forum!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 Not a bad cd... I'd give this 7/10 I bought it and think it's quite a nice listen... ! Especially cd1 is pretty good. Cd 2 is less, especially with those weirder kind of ambient tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
