Review:

 

This

album is not really my "style". I can't say what i don't like in this

one...maybe the SOUNDS....yeah that's it..i don't like the sounds they

used...Too normal sounds...not really weirds & innovative (but this album

was released a year ago or more so it's a bit normal)...!! Melodies are

sometimes cheesy sometimes awesome...My

favourite track is the Bees. The last (quite downtempo one is quite good

too). The good part of the Cd is the groove....Xerox &

freeman have a groove that  give the will to dance The

bad part is the production...i think sounds And samples are a bit weak

compared to fat sounds we can here now....but have a listen before because lot

of people like it in Israel...6/10

i know a lot of people love this album, but i agree with max above.....somehow

i don't really like it too much, i mean, it's okay to listen to every now n

then, but then i put it back in my collection and it stays there until i feel

i should give it another try (which is not very often). i'm left wondering

what all the hype was about this cd....that's why i bought it in the first

place - not a cd i would recommend. 5.5/10

I think Human Race is one of the best Israeli-Goa trance albums to come out of

Israel in 1998. I agree that the sound production was not the best(although

KARINA (Rmx), BEES(Live Mix) and EXTRA HARD SOUNDS are Top Notch productions)

, BUT the style of music, the groove, the energy flow was as impressive as it

gets.

This group was so inspiring to many artists who started to "defect" to the

painfull, monotonic techno-trance scene and after hearing Xerox And Freeman's

album they moved back to the Psy Trance scene.

OK, a lot of it sounds very normal, but Extra Hard Sounds is my

all-time favourite tune. The sample's a bit naff, but you expect that from

Israeli artists. I saw/heard Planet BEN play it here in Japan and it made me

cry, it was so good (I was totally straight too). Give it another listen,

it's got an amazing groove to it. Get the album for that one tune!

Perhaps the finest example of the

Israeli "cyber" sound, hard but

still melodic, I love it. Full of

psychedelic power and sonic richness, and you just can't sit

still to grooves like these, you

have to get up and dance! 10/10.

I have to agree with Snow Dog here, Xerox And Freeman is excellent. I bought

this album some time ago, after hearing some great songs from them on numerous

compilations, notably Are We Happy on Goa Head vol. 7 and Eternal March on

Israels Psy Trance Part 3. This album is filled with their hard and uplifting

sounds, and it is really great. I have to say though, I had to get used to it

first. But when I put on my headphones and listen to this loud, it moves me

...!! 8/10 here.

Well, i just bougth the album direct from phonokol web shop from israel, and

the cd-cover was smashed because of security checks, but anyway, i liked the

style on some of the tracks, like Infected Max said, bees, it was just great,

i also liked the first track, when the takeoff was transposed to another scale

instead of just going with the same note, well anyway, i liked what i heard, a

lot of groove, 7/10 here

Ever wanted to get pissed drunk, take your microphone and run around the city

RANDOMLY recording different samples of a dog humping a dor, two people

laughing, maybe an occasion toilet flush. Then taking all of this back to

your studio and dumping it in on top of a couple of synth lines you worked the

night before... well if you have wanted to do this I am afraid that Xerox and

Freeman have beat you to it!

 

I am sorry but instead you will have to sit and compose something that is

strong and logical.

 

God, I have no clue how some of these companies can release this type of random

noise music. What the hell?

4/10

Good energy, rough trade but in fact not that clever and put together album.

KARINA is the best on album, after which BEES comes and KAYAZULU. Rest is ok,

but just that, they are not bad...only track 4...so 5/10
