Guest SYN Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 Oh, this is good! I don't think it's minimal...it's just precise (and very psychedelic). These tracks create that space or/and atmosphere that is often associated with minimal psytrance at its best and combines it with nice melodies. This isn't as repetitive as minimal psytrance often is. Sounds like Infected Mushroom at times though (but weirder). Absolut bättre än surströmming and worth buying and listening! Bom!

Guest Ubik Posted December 23, 2000 Share Posted December 23, 2000 Different from the tracks released on various comps, much more melodic overall. Very well produced, with cool fx and samples everywhere : the samples use in Subatomic is really amazing, almost part of the rhytmic. Melodies sounds very alien, it reminded me a little of IM gathering, too. All tracks are good and half of them are killers : Shadow of the beast, Subatomic, Kilobyte Bandit, Halojaner, Orb Warning... 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sacredvisions2000[at]yahoo[dot]c Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 One of my favourites ever! A full on blessing indeed. I love it, and all that really love this, please email me and lets talk full on that is even close to Logic Bomb! A masterpiece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smokeBuddha Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Oh man! GET THIS CD! IT KICKS ASS! Some of the freshest tracks I've heard in a while. This is definitely in my top 10 list. A MUST-HAVE. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squid[at]born-on-a-pirate-ship[d Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 melodic and interesting without the "in-yer-face" style of days past... a modern answer to psychedelic computer music. 10/10... and i have the vinyl version so there's no shame about the last track, fairlight yum. one of the best albums of 2000, no doubt.

freak51 Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 I finally got my hands on a copy of this CD. There are enough amazing bits to buy it, but I find most tracks go on too long. There are Israeli influences, but it still sounds Scandinavian. Nice piece of work: 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Epic Automata Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Took me a while to pick this up, too. I don't know why - it's brilliant. Guess you have to funnel through all the average stuff to finally find that one great piece of work. Logic Bomb (and Spiral Trax in general) makes me proud to be Swedish. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 I bought this 4 days ago & I already love it. I wasn't sold on their effort in A Progress in Trance, but I bought Psychoactive Scandosounds 2 and was sold on both the Logic Bomb & Hux Flux tracks. This Album covers a wide spectrum in my opinion, & I am glad that there is still some quirk left in trance. To me it is similiar to Koxbox, Skrock 7 Kilobyte Bandit are superb!!!

Guest simon magus Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 This is the best of the new Scando sound. Although restrained, it still builds and finds melody in the right ways. I think 'kilobyte bandit' is one of the best tracks ever. Overall, 8/10. - meaning GET THIS NOW!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArchNemesis Posted April 1, 2001 Share Posted April 1, 2001 KILOBYTE BANDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that track alone is enough to buy this album ten times!!!! But don't underestimate the rest of the tracks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 This album is pure class. I recently purchased this and listened to it a couple of times now, and this one is really great! There are no bad tracks on this album and it's even better than their Hux-Flux album! Less weird and with more melody, this cd is right up my street!! I'll have to give this 9/10 !! IMO your Psytrance collection wouldn't be complete if you skipped this one... Oh yeah, and if you order it at this period, you won't get a version with a last bad printed track :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaeton Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 indeed a wicked album like most of you already said ! although i think the vocals are sometimes not so well chosen (guns 'n roses ?!) and a bit too lo-fi fucked up for me ... also, did anyone notice that at the end of 'shadow of the beast' the guitar player hits a wrong string ? listen with headphones and you'll notice, pretty disturbing when you're in a higher state of consciousness.. the windows sound in 'sub atomic' is pretty funny melodies are sometimes a bit too directly ripped from infected mushroom, but are cool anyway ... some tracks also reminded me of koxbox ... all in all a very good album, i just love the typical hux flux and logic bomb weirdo noises it's equally as good as the hux flux album imho !

Guest [Anonymous] Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Tip: Put on Halojaner at mid volume to start, wait till 2:50 when the break comes and when it hits 3:00 , blast it.... pure scando madness....try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zeitti Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Great stuff! The style is something between minimal and melodic, and it works really well! There are some real killers, but also some tracks I don't like too much.. Favourites are tracks 1, 4, 8.. Rating 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diepeveen Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Great album from those mad swedes - No bad tracks, only good hard psycedelica! - Shadow Of the Beast just make me wanna go crazy! - 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon Magus Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 To add to what I said (didn't have time to give this justice...) this is what everyone who produces trance should be listening to, cause this is how you do it. The more I listen to it, the better it gets... The best elements of minimal (hard beats, and polyrhythms) with real melodies. Even my israeli friends dig it, and so do my russian minimalist friends. It covers all the bases. And listen carefully to Kilobyte Bandit.. the bass drum changes subtly (or not so subtly, if you are high enough)throughout the song to become a pummeling hammer of the gods. One of the real keys is to listen on a system with tight bass at HIGH volume (or at a party with good sound - I saw them at the Roxy in NYC, wow!!) and you will understand. (I say 9.5/10 if you discount a couple of weaker tracks) Plus, every new comp track they come out with gets better and better (melogic - omg!!!).

Guest Steve Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 On first listening to this album, I thought it was funky in places but didn't really do anything more. Then I came to this website and saw the overwhelming praise it gained from people and so I decided to give it another try. Boy am I thankful I did. I put it on, applied some headphones to my ears and lay back waiting for something to happen. THIS ALBUM MUST BE HEARD THROUGH HEADPHONES to fully appreciate it. In a lot of ways it was bittersweet. I thought How the fuck do they do it? in amazed awe and then I thought How the fuck do they do it? lamenting that it would be near impossible to hope to attain such a high level of innovation and concise production in my own studio endevours. Anyways it gots to be heard, but like I said use headphones or the genius emitting from the stereo might just go over your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kadafi Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 This is one of my favorite albs. Logic Bomb really does the trick for me: -nice&hard basslines -extremely dancable -good melodix -Lots of PSY-VOICES (sth. I personally adore in goatrance!) I think their style is really good, but maybe not various enough to make this release a masterpiece... Favorite trax: 2!,1!,3,7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goastomp9 Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 i saw logic bomb at synthetic sadhus and was blown away...this album is one of my favorites...track 2 and 7 are absolutely brilliant, anyone who is into psy-trance should pick this one up....10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seraph Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Very good album but nothing that spectacular everyone are raving about it here...has some really great songs : SHADOW OF THE BEAST ( great Infected Mushoom meets Oforia style, best song on album ), EXTENSION, HALOJANER, ORB WARNING, FAIRLIGHT...Rest is just ok, for me at least... 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Very well-built album, nice twisted sounds, yet not that outstanding. I like their style a lot though. Best track IMO : Shadow of the Beast. 7,5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
