shahar@isratrance Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Waterjuice - Hydrophonics Artist: Waterjuice Title: Hydrophonics Label: Vaporvent Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 07'26" Pandora's Box 02. 08'43" Purge 03. 09'26" Highly Experimental 04. 05'40" Captain Nemo's Secret Chamber 05. 06'35" Vog 06. 06'33" Glymph 07. 07'31" Didjerigoo 08. 07'46" Inversion Layer 09. 05'44" Radiofree Vaporvent 10. 07'23" Dubloopy Review: A real delicious surprise from San Francisco- a totally twisted refreshing freestyling psychedelia with a lot of feel and chill, showing that The US can do more than bomb. Since this CD arrived in my mailbox it has been working overtime. Waterjuice deliver a totally diverse and non-formulated journey through sounds and rhythms, and it's all very visual and very innovative. You have touches of everything here, and no doubt that a touch of genius as well. It start with Parndoras's Box- tablas hard at work in a tribal twisted psychedelic and hypnotic piece of music. Then it's distortions and rougher times- purge yourself! Highly Experimental (T3) might not be that experimental, but it brings more tribal feel, and alien sunrise trancey sounds. Captain Nemo's Secret Chamber (T4) is one of my favorites here- just close your eyes and you see captain Nemo entering his secret chamber, closing the thick door with that submarine's wheel handle, hitting his secret stash sitting back and watching the weird sea life 20,000 feet underwater through the little round window. Brilliant- one of the most visual track I heard. Vog (T5) has real chilled morning sounds, exactly what I'd love to hear on my way out of a nature party back to my car. Glymph (T6) is funky tribal stuff with a bit of a spooky alien feel. And Didjerigoo (T7) is my favorite here so far- dramatic, bouncing between dark and light, full of twists, totally hypnotic and definitely sticky- beware!!! A real musical treat. Inversion Layer (T8) is an oriental funky track with a sampled Muslim prayer praising the strength of god. My least favorite here, but still nice. Radio Free Vaporvent is as weird as it can get- some dialog in Asian language, beautiful twisted melodic line that grabs you completely, great drive, and a lot of surprises- a real complex piece of art. I just wish it was longer. And it doesn't end here- you get a hidden bonus in the end, getting dubby, but in a real twisted way, with a lot of flying sounds all around- cute. Bottom Line: Waterjuice- real liquid music, this stuff flows through your mind. Surprise CD of 2001. Do yourself a real favor and get it! And also a high score of that great cover from Naomi@vaporvent! Favorites: 1-3, 4(!), 5, 7(!), 9(!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zeus Class Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Good Music. This is a intersting chill album from the land of the free (freedom that is diminishing). A diffrent part of the world. This CD will flood your speakers and your mind. Captain Nemo has some really neat liquid sounds, every sound in the track you can hear the hydro influence. Shahar is right when he says sounds like your inside a submarine. And yes this track definatly activates your imagination. This is pretty psychedelic. (didgeridoo). This track is aweomse becuase it uses that old country music instrument that sounds so much like a synth. Boingy boing boing! And I was wondering when sombody would notice that sound again! Just gotta watch those old cowboy westerns. Sometimes though it sounds allot like slowed down jungle. But most tracks are very good distinct psychill (most psychill is distinct) Inversion Layer is the worst track (IMHO) BEST track Didjerigoo! fucking BAD ASS track. Using that hick farmer's instrument! Good psychill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
