Review:

 

I cant really say if this is a good compilation or a bad one.This is up to

you.Many people dont like TIP's sound wich is too hard with no melodies at

all.This comp is not an exception.But it works for me.3 killer tracks from

Paps(1),Tripiatric (8)and Total Eclipse(3).Those tracks are psychedelic

Madness!!!!What about the others??Hhhhmmm.....not as fast as the previous

ones.....Voodoo People (7) is not as good as i expected.I liked the Antidote

track (5) a lot...7,5/10

I don't agree with Stathis..;) This album seems like the rebirth of TIP. I know

that many people still expect the old TIP style but it was time to refresh the

Trance style...no More Man With No Name...(till he will decide to change his

keyboards sounds).

Pap's, Tripiatrik, Total Eclipse And Antidote (aka Total Eclipse) are

killer...but Stathis forgot another killer track....to me it's the best of the

compilation.."Atmos - The Only Process"..What a killer track....!!! This

summer everybody played it (especially in the Zen festival in South Of France)

And it's an incredible track..

 

I strongly believe in Atmos future!!!! Very psychedelic style...full

progressive Trance...Awesome.

 

5 killers (really killers) tracks on a compilation is very rare

nowadays....that's why i'll give 8/10 to this compilation

I was so HAPPY when I first heard this compilation...

Especially because of the track Killaz by Antidote (Total Eclipse).

What an awesome track!!!!!!!

I heard this track when Total was playing here in Israel a half year ago and

since then the those screaming analogue sounds had a longtime place in my

mind.. I was so happy to hear it again :))

and yes, The Only Process is also a killer but its already overheard and used

in many compilations... Paps's track was also played alot in parties, a

brilliant dark night track.. Good to have it released :)

I'll give it 8/10

Not the usual old TIP sound, and that's right that melodies are not really

developped, but it's quite cool after a few listen. My favourites are Killaz

and the other Total Eclipse track. First two tracks are also pretty good. 7/10

Well ... I don't really like this style ... not real melodies in these Tracks

...

However I can't say Tracks are Bad, but none of them is really interesting for

me, cause I don't like the style ...

Listen to Tracks 2,3,5 before buying the CD ... they are the best ones here

... if you don't like them, don't buy this CD !

Rating : 4/10

VERY nice album. 8/10. Those of you who don't like this, don't like psytrance

at all. THIS _IS_ psychedelic trance.

track1: excellent.very powerful, not that melodic, but it's not a problem:) a

killer. track2: not exceptionnal.good but a little basic according to

me.track3: probably the best track of this comp.also a killer.I like very much

this new total eclipse style.fast, powerful, and also

melodic..perfect!track4:can't remember it...probably because there's nothing

unforgettable in this track.track5: like a lot.still the total eclipse style

here but with something added..hum, particular..and good.track6, 7 and 8 are

also really great.all that makes a really good comp, with many killer tracks.i

would give 8/10 I think, but maybe isn't it enough..

Beuurkkk... THis compilation stinks. Especially Paps, the Warhammer of Trance.

Awfull and useless, as always with him.

TIP lost his head. This product is the worst ever realised by this label.

Buy it for Atmos... 2,5/10

Antidote : Killaz is wicked. Tripiatick's track will make weird guys dance like

chickens (i'ts happened twice). Bus is funky, phoetus is kickin, Total eclipse

is good too. In fact The whole LP (6 tracks) is very good stuff that I will

actually play a lot. Well except for the Voodoo People track, yuck.

Anyone who doesn't like the Paps track should go listen to the Backside Boys :)

Seriously, though, this compilation kicks major ass. No real melodies, just

force. Paps is a goddam steamtrain. Most of his other tracks suck, but this

one is really really good. 8/10, Extra crispy. Bom! - Raven

Pretty good compilation....not quite as good as Divinations but a worthy

buy...the tracks that stood out for me were Paps (despite the critisism above)

Process ..and Bus (wow what a track!!) oh and the Tripiatrik tune is pretty

cool too...not totally mesmorizing but an interesting addition 7/10 =^,^=

I strongly reverse my opinion that was stated above due to tha fact that i must

have been off my F*cking head writing it!!....This album is by far the best

TIP compilation ever and i strongly urge you to hunt it down and

listen..closer..closer! my god Atmos!!! Bus (amazing track really sticks in

my head) its all mindblowing...my favorite compilation yet..although `Reborn`

gets close!

Well.. hmmm.. ammm.. Veeery dark and danceable cd from tip-world with couple

of highlights in it: Phoetus, Process (the best track!!!) and atmos, who's

track is so simple but still it's fucking great..!! And I kinda liked the

Voodoo People track too, I think it sounds more like old Detroit-techno or

something than Psytrance.. and I listened Detroit and Monotonic techno and

electro a lot before I went into psychedelics.. ;)

anyway, great comp..!

I don't like this comiplation that much everyone are raving about...It is good

but that is all for me...it is more darker and progressive than other TIP

compilations and rather empty at the times...Favourite tracks are ATMOS,

PHOETUS, PROCESS, BUS tracks...Rest is very average...6.5/10

this compilation repersents quite standart material for TIP for the last 3

years. List of artist are also more or less usual for TIP (Antidote, Total

Eclipse, GMS...). I found only two pretty interesing trax on it, they are

Process : Blue Moovies & Bus : North By North West 6 (Top Deck Mix). and

absolutely trance classic by Atmos. The only ptocess is the greatest trak by

such talanted artist as Atmos. Another trax are uninteresting for me despite

their quality is not bad. Maybe Phoetus : Sparkling Soup is quite good

dancefloor track. I also expect much better material by Voodoo People, but not

this time. So my personal opinion, we have nothing special except the trax

mentioned above. Listen to it youself, maybe you find some favorites for you.

Alright listen up, it's been almost ten years I'm listening to this comp and frankly put, it's fucking IN-CREDIBLE.

 

it begins with Paps who is (or was, anybody knows what's up with him these days?) an excellent artist with his first release and what a track it is. amazing from the beginning to end. it takes you and doesn't stop. I never heard anything like this.. alien hollow pads are being transmitted from another dimension while squealing sounds are blasting your mind, add to that sword sharp percussion and a changing wooden kick. I can't describe this track accurately, it's really from another planet. it's not your regular goa/psy/dark or whatever track. this track is the shining beacon of the compilation. paps - vibes from the other side.

 

I won't discuss the next track much, you probably all know that Atmos track, and it is a killer. great buildup leading to an insane climax where a sawtooth wave is joined to the bassline to emphasize the beat. it grabs you once and doesn't stop.

 

next are TE. this is a very weird and different track by them, unlike anything they normally do. it's very dark and pumping. VERY dark and very pumping. I like this track, it grew on me.

 

Sparkling Soup is here in the original mix, and this is truly dance time. what a bassline.. that 303.. smoke it, and get high! excellent pounding kick, great percussion - an awesome fast progressive track with haunting echoing voices at the background and phat resonating sweeps on front. another fav.

 

Tripiatrik. after Voodoo People almost put me to sleep I get this. back in business!! a project by Paps and Yumade made for pure craziness.. I love it. reverbing sweeps are all around, pure acid madness with prodigy percussion and crazy voices! once this one takes on you you'll understand.

 

last track is Bus with an excellent track, built on the them of 50's movies, lots of vocals and very interesting samples. it ends the trip with this album in a climax. great.

 

when this compilation came out, I was very satisfied, I felt like the TIP tradition really continues. but unfortunately, that was the last of the good TIP compils. this compilation is TIP's goodbye aliens, next come puppies statement.

a very psychedelic compilation which can stand proudly next to Singles 3, Beyond Colour and 3D.
