Guest Stathis_gti Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 (edited) Psychopod - Headlines Artist: Psychopod Title: Headlines Label: TIP Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 8'11" Re Vision 02. 9'42" Universal Mind 03. 9'58" Stop The Carnage 04. 8'41" Friagram 05. 4'23" Dreampod (Video Edit) 06. 8'23" Out Of Your mind Review: That's a very nice ep from the very good psychopod (kox box). Re Vision and Stop the carnage are the most wicked tracks. Very complicated and hard to listen sound, some of them scratch your ear but not necessarily bad. Universal mind and Out of your mind are fantastic!! Mind-blowing sound and nice light drum bass will drive you crazy. This ep has very progressed sound for its time (released 1997) and it will not saw you his age. 8/10 Edited March 3, 2006 by DeathPosture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tb[at]biogate[dot]com Posted March 18, 2000 Share Posted March 18, 2000 This was my first psychedelic trance album, and it's still one of my best albums. It's mad twisted, not as twisted as Kox box though (it's the same dudes). It's more appropriate for the dancefloor. Universal Mind is a wonderful song with extreme depths. The whole CD hold a very high class, no half-way productions. I really recommend this EP! 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tequila Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 I like koxbox/psychopod a lot, that's why I expected a lot of this EP...and I was right, it's a damn good CD.Re:vision is a good, really psychedelic track.Universal mind is in the pure koxbox style wich I like so muuch.Stop the Carnage is...hum...wicked is word, bud "good" maybe not!!it's a really special track, really hard to understand...and I still didn't, the sounds here are too...undescriptible, but I'm sure I will understand it one day:) friagram is really good whereas dreampod video edit has been cut and completely destroyed because of this insane shortage...no intro, only the peak of the track...horrible.out of your mind is as excellent as the others.8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TRISTAN Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 Nothing special about this album... HECK!!! What am i saying? absolutly the BEST serious piece ever!!! all tracks are intense, kickin` and pushing... all sounds are evil, wicked and fresh... what else could you expect from koxbox? long live Re Vision! btw.. the Dreampod (Psychopod Video Edit) is really really great... =) the orig was a little bit boring =) my only 10/10 ever!

Guest Tejina Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 Tristan definately knows the deal. This is probably my favorite cd i own. And the Dreampod video edit kicks ass!No fluff, they get right into it and blow your mind. Every track is terrific with my all time favorite being Universal Mind. Or maybe Re Vision. The problem is, every time I listen to it I have a new favorite track! Theyre all so damn good. I would even venture to say that they are better as psychopod than as koxbox. If you can find it,,, BUY IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diepeveen Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 This is, again, a super release from IanIon and Frank'e... Those two danes are just so insane! - My all time favourite on this one is Friagram - those sounds are just soo psychedelic!! - 8/10 Looking forward to the new Saiko-Pod album wich, hopefully, will come out here in the spring!

Guest plasmagoria[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 First, I think this CD (I got it on a CD) is really good! Re Vision and Friagram are really! But I see that many do not understand the best track, Stop The Carnage. First I thought Stop The Carnage was the worst track I ever heard. But, one day when I was lying on my bed and relaxed the CD was on and I woke up in the middle of a really good track. I wonder what it was and when I realised that it was Stop The Carnage I was really supprised! Stop The Carnage is total freedom in music. It have no limits. So, to understand it relax or think in other tearms. That track is not good music (it is not made to be good), it is made to feel good.

Guest Peaceful warrior Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Wow..I am completely blown away! I had no idea that this was going to be this good. I mean I expected it to be good because its KoxBox but this is some of the most amazing music I have ever heard. I am so suprised that people haven't been talking about this more. Why haven't those who have heard it been recomending it to everyone they talk to. This is the heart and soul of psychedelia. Every song is amazingly complex and psychedelic. Whats more is that they also contain some of the most groovy riffs I have ever heard. This E.P. is more like an album. It has six of the best psy-trance songs I have ever heard. They have depth, emotion, groove, and power. This is similar to Dragon Tales but I would venture to say better? This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of music. Peace and respect to KoxBox/SaikoPod for creating such amazing music. Now I can't wait for the new SaikoPod album. ITS COMING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taika-Kim Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Post edited by moderator to comply with review guidelines... Release info added: Label: TIP Records Catalog#: TIP 026 CD Format: CD5" Country: UK Released: 1997 1 Re-Vision (8:11) 2 Universal Mind (9:42) 3 Stop The Carnage (9:58) 4 Friagram (8:41) 5 Dreampod (Video Edit) (4:32) 6 Out Of Your Mind (8:22) /DP -------------- OMG yo wow phazooong I just listened to this yesterday for the first time and I was so totally bulllldozered by this 3D attack on my aurals. Sheeesh is this the highest pinnacle of this certain liquid fractal trance that labels like TIP & Flying Rhino put out around 1998?? Like, woooow!½ Only the last track fails to deliver, the rest are just zarjaz! This beats the heck out of all earlier Koxbox material IMO, I never liked Forever After and Dragon tales so much. I remember I didn't like Stop The Carnage when I heard it the first times back then, but now it just made my mind go boing and I nearly stopped being for a moment. Phooh. Yurg. Kazargh. Plonk. Quirp. And so on. SO recommended.! So now I need to check what they did after this one, I somehow always got the impression that they too jumped the minimal bandwagon after 1997....

fosku Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 This is very good indeed. Universal Mind and Stop The Carnage are unbelievable tracks... Bought this one for 2 euros! Good deal I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taika-Kim Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Aren't they on TIP blue & phoshporescent? Or was it 3D?? Anyway yes I like those tracks too... And there's many of the same sounds used on all these tracks so probably they were written quite close in time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Psychopod was truly amazing psychedelics, it´s Ian Orion and Frank Madsen from koxbox. Psychopod - psychopod is a truly outstanding track too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) One of the best releases of the genre, next to their Dragon Tales and Cosmosis' Synergy! It's soooo psychedelic and detailed, that you never feel that the EP is only 45 min long. There's so many ideas and sound-layers, all beautifully arranged. Even though it's quite old, it still sounds fresh and innovatiove, just because nobody else dared to go their road and do something even resembling the style... Best tracks are (2) Universal Mind and (4) Friagram, but all of them are at least very good. F***king 5/5 Edited January 17, 2006 by antic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2pir Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Antic, it's almost 50 minutes long, so it's basically an album. Or rather, it is an album. There are CD's that are 24 minutes and still get to be called album (not in trance though, with these long tracks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I was not complaining about the length. I just wanted to say, that some albums last for example 70 min and somehow they pass pretty quick, while this one goes and goes and it seems it will never end, even if it's just 45 min A little off-topic: I've noticed lately that average running time of CDs gets longer again - it was 70-75 minutes few years ago, then with minimal wave and 8 tracks / CD it shortened to 60 min. The ęfull-on eraę changed the tracks / CD ratio to 9-10, but there was still only 60 min (tracks were much shorter). Nowadays, many albums have 10-11 tracks and last 70-75 min, with top releases like VoC - We Are Free lasting 78 min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2pir Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I love albums with more than 10 or less than 8 tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Headlines is a good album, yeah, with a pretty unique sound. A couple of the tracks do venture into what I call 'the land of tired, senseless noise' but it's still worth picking up. Most the tracks are very good.

Guest Cosmogenesis Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Superb E.P. with a lot of incredible effects and various feelings. Universal Mind reallly kicks ass! However I prefer the entire version of "dreampod" who is a true masterpiece. We can recognize the koxbox touch inside, something near the mystic "re-oscillation's" melody. I have "Dreampod" in my distance to goa vol 5 double cds, and it's for far my favorite track of this compilation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 and it's for far my favorite track of this compilation. 444141[/snapback] "by" far ... Yes that's a great track. Why? because it has personality and doesn't sound like anything else made by another artist. To me, that track is the best of these guys, and i include Koxbox in my statement ...And Universal Mind is Excellent too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cosmogenesis Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Sorry for my mistake and for the others ! You know, my english isn't perfect: I don't have a "universal mind" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anti Gravity Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 indeed an album with some very strong tracks involved the melodies have a little nitzho touch but just subtle balanced that they are not listening to the whole release there isn't that much varation imo when you heard the best tracks next time you listen you skipp the others I do last some very motivating basslines considering the time age, a very uplifting touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
