Guest djhomsy[at]trancelucent-zone[dot Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 My review: 26 year old artist Nir Shoshani is considered today to be one of the most prominent and unique TechTrance artists the holy land has delivered in the last couple of years, setting new standards in sound and creativity. Just by looking at the cover?s stimulating and unique artwork one can start to understand what he is getting into. Before I go into the content itself I also would like to mention and praise the CD?s first class production from inside out. From the first track (virtual analog) up to the last you smile at how harmless yet distorted the cover took you at first sight VS the powerful, focused sounds that throw you straight into a dark and twisted journey ? and don?t be mislead it?s a dark one, dark and astonishing. Each track producing fat squeezy, powerful and fun, bass lines that are covered by this fat essence of mystic filled with hard pure and cold metallic effects, taking us back to the dark ages through the industrial revolution and back again. At times you feel you are in this large and creepy cathedral filled with bats and at times as if you are part of the proletariat, working in some factory clouded by clear and precise sounds. The album has a clear and visible direction and feel, a strong based structure that leads and controls everything else, but what is so special about it is that despite all that each track takes you into different and spookier entities. This excellent production took over a year for Shoshani to complete and aside from delivering 9 stomping new kickass tracks it also comes with a bonus multimedia track for the last closing track of the album ?The people Vs. Hujboy (TV edit) ? and what a treat it is. An actual movie 6:32 min long, a true masterpiece, audio & visual knotted together perfectly delivering an outstanding exciting viewing experience, giving the album a new perspective (at least 4 me) J ? now we are at the 60-70, a genius sound professor in old Russia is being hunted down by the KGB? - you want to know how it ends? Well it?s on the album?J All tracks in this album were created by Nir except tracks 5&8 that are the result of Nir?s collaboration with Dudi Friedman. Final Words: This is a great powerful and mature release by a talented, innovative and diverse artist. It is my favorite Trance cd so far this year. A mixture of stunning sounds, amazing exact & special visuals and uncompromising production. An all around good deal.

Guest amrodrig[at]uol.com[dot]br Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 It's Hujaboy - Hujajoy the name of the album...just check the cover picture. BTW, the video clip is incredible. The music is great too, but homsy got that covered :-) kind regards, Luiz Paulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goa[at]c4[dot]com Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Excellent Tech-trance release- MASSIVE!!!! I prefer the first part though- 1-4 all rock, same for 7-8. The video clip is something else- Hujaboy is king for this one- watch it over and over and you'll discover new things everytime! Massive shit- did I say that already- great atmosphere and very good moving power. Love it. Bom Shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hujaboy - Hujajoy Artist: Hujaboy Title: Hujajoy Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 07'43" Virtual Anal(og) 02. 07'27" The Day 03. 07'34" Flying Sorcerer 04. 07'27" Nemesis 05. 06'11" Shaba Rain 06. 07'02" Fresh Air 07. 07'42" Counting Spirals 08. 07'29" Save Ass 09. 06'00" The People Vs Hujaboy Review: It's a quite dark and rough techno-trance album, it's not what i personnally first listen in trance.The dark minimal trance's fans (stuffs like the delta,midi miliz,spirallianz or m.o.s) will appreciate Hujajoy.There are some very nice atmospheric worked intro and outro on many tracks but the core's tracks are really groovy and agressive. I prefer the second part of the album (tracks 6 to 9),"the day" is also interesting in the first part. Counting spirals was the only track previously released (on Israliens 3).To finish , i had to precize that you got the nice video clip of The people vs Hujaboy which is whithout any doubt the hit of this album. rating:7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoni[at]psysex.co[dot]il Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL ISRAELY RELEASE. as said,Tech trance would be the best way to describe it, but this should appeal to anyone who likes interesting grooves(SHABA RAIN)& special atmospheres(FRESH AIR),some german techno influences(THE DAY)& a bit of scary Full on(Counting Spirals). i also think everyone will appreciate the bonus video clip, which is one of the best psy videos ever made 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak51 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hujaboy extends the tip of the Israeli sound down the direction that Future Prophecy and Spiral Active Project [whatever happened to that outfit anyway?] was working. Lots of 1998-99-ish germanic influence with properly developed psychedelia to chew on. Plenty of good stuff here, lots of keepers. You don't have to rush out and get this, but look for it next time you're buying psy-trance CDs. He doesn't try to cram in too much information - he lets it flow and sustain on its own. This is high quality entertainment, and it will drive dance floors late late at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dany Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 It's more german psytekno oriented than the typical israelian trance. And the videoclip it's like from VIVA tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vasyachkin Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 ok this is one is closest in sound to Etnica - Chrome than any other album IMHO. But it does use atmospheric sounds that are very similar to those on The Delta - Send In Send Back. this music is VERY monotonous. as monotonous as Send...Back at least )) on one hand this is bad, on the other hand - IT NEVER STOPS, never slows down, never takes a break just the same pumping beat and growling bassline going forever with very minor changes in whatever there is except kick and bassline -- this can be good if you just want to dance. this is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of Psysex - Hardcore Blastoff in which tracks constantly stop, continue, stop, put in 3 minutes worth of voice samples continue again so you can never follow the rhythm if you liked both Chrome and Send ... Back you will definitely TOLERATE this. but if you already heard those two albums don't expect this to blow you away, because its just more of the same thing.

Guest Chaitu/Purple Passion Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Nir Shoshani delivered a real work of art here, personally i love it and for me it is the best album of 2002 so far. The dark atmoshpheres, lush soundscapes, technoidic realms,industrial mechanism, and trancey energies are all beautifully intertwined to give a soundtrack for the mind and body. The journey begins with "Virtual Analog" followed by "The Day" - the combination is the most powerful i heard in trance in a long time. In short, it really kicked ass! The music following goes into a really deep atmoshpheric, sometimes tribal, sometimes full on, realm, just when u think u can catch a breath - a larger than life bassline will arrive to sweep you off your feet, all that in crystal clear production. The video is real joy, the music complements it perfectly - now everytime i listen to the music i picture the video and vice versa - great fun, try it! Concluding, another fine release from Hommega and Israeli trance, moving into the german technoidic industria world, and with Hujaboy at the helm - this is a ride you don't want to miss. Nir your Day has arrived, kol hakavod ahi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Damn fools that want to dis the Hujaboy. All those of you that liked it, respect. This albumn should not be compared to Delta or to any other attempt that anyones made. This is cutting edge, new taste of things to come. If your don`t like it, fine you obviously don`t know what it`s about. But for those that like it or love it like myself, you know that what Nir Shoshan is doing, is basically going to bust trance wide open for the next while. I feel that he`s following the trend as far as dark, phat atmospheric Tech Trance is going. Go take a listen to Dark Nebula or the new wizzy noise. Gives you a massive idea opf things to come, make it dark, make it so. Rock on Hujaboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hylton[at]coco.co[dot]za Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 If you like the new wizzy noise then you'll like this! Geesh! The albumn is agreeably best in the first four tracks but hells bells the rest is still pretty fantastic! Most enjoyable....we want more like that!!

Guest gabrielperez[at]netcourrier[dot] Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Hard to describe .Yes ,hard , it kicks your mind .It's not a copy of delta or spiralianz ,it has his own style but I don't love it.For me a trance song has to tell a 8 minutes long story and I like to feel a progression from the beginning to the end.Songs like pop from delta or one way from spirallianz really have a 'body' ,a signification.Songs of hujaboy seem to be leer in spite of pseudo-atmospherical waves.Listening to hujaboy brings you the a dead end...I downloaded it and it deleted it a hour later.good bye hujaboy!6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Goa Spirit Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 the video is really funny... with the whole scientist effect. could have been made better though, at times i had a feeling that i would change the cinematography if i had done it, a couple more effects in the dry parts would have made it more interesting.....

Guest djpoliisi[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Whoaaaah. an album that really that really divides opinions. Yes, it's quite minimal, but what a great genius Hujaboy is. The atmosphere of every song is soooo god damn great. I have to say that this must be one of the best records I've ever bought. 10/10 !!!! and also the video... so fucking awesome!!! great work that too. all respects: Aimo Nippi of Hypoteekkiyhdistys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest '94 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Some songs sounds very stolen from The Delta/X-Dream and such.. Esp. track 2... Sounds like the same samples as in "Pop" almost ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 as for the music, it is quite good,, i really liked the ideas, but the production sometimes gets a bit muffled... anyway for a new artist, this is a very good effort. (my own tries pale in comparison to this),,, but hujaboy is good, and overall i liked the album, will give this a few more listens to see if this grows on me a bit more... i would give it a rating of 7/10 at the moment with room to improve...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Just got this release, and its definetly Delta/Spirallianz inspired peace of work. Its got good percussion and bass drums, BUT something is missing.. maybe its the production quality or maybe it lacks of originality. I just dont know for now.. and the other thing that really annoys me, is that there are too many extra overloaded sounds/noises in this album which just damage the groove and making it sound something between,, wizzy noise and opsis ( overall not bad, but could be much better, that guy has alot of potential, so for now I'd just keep my eyes open for Boo-reka project instead 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 i love X-DREAM/MIDI MILIZ/SPIRALLIANZ/THE DELTA,etc. but I don't get this one,something is missing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evil sith lord Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 This album kicks fucking ass! Its kinda like psytrance-industrial rolled into one. Nir is like the skinny puppy of psytrance. So no wonder the kids dont like it. They werent around at the beginning and they probably wont be here till the end. Hujaboy=hujafuckingpleasure. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
