Basilisk Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Hiscore Xor - Identify / Tracker Artist: Hiscore Xor Title: Identify / Tracker Label: Polytox Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. Identify 02. Tracker Review: Every time I listen to this EP I have the feeling that I've stumbled upon a real lost gem to the world of Goa Trance. "Identify" is a full-on tune with amazing buildups and tons of sounds that blast your brain into another state. The breakdowns are full of lovely choruses and speaking synths, making this a song that is sure to raise a vibe anywhere. Pure dancefloor material from the golden age of Goa Trance! "Tracker" on the flipside provides a hearty backup with funky basslines, a touch of tribal percussion, and a driving groove. This track shows influence of old style acid trance, with bubbling 303s and squelchy noises. Two guys from this project later went on to create Kopfuss Resonator, and Hiscore is also related to Spect-R so check those projects out if you'd like to hear more from these talented german guys! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eckoe[at]machine-elf[dot]com Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 They are not on any comp. that I am aware of...even the vinyl is getting very, very, very hard to find, took me a year and a half of searching and more money than I wanted to spend on a 12" to capture mine, but it is WELL worth it. Everyone that I know how has this puts it under lock and key! hehe Excellent track, excellent energy...still very timeless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Artist: Hiscore Xor Title: Identify / Tracker EP Label: Polytox Records Date: 1997 1. Identify 2. Tacker The last time I saw this many Germans they were goosestepping. A 5 member project? How do you fit all those egos in one room? Usually that's reserved for boy bands. You've got the shy cute one, the bad boy, the young gun, the older but more mature guy, and then the guy nobody gives a sh*t about, but he put up the money for the demo and used his mom's basement to practice your steps, so he's gotta be in the band. These guys produced a couple of cracking tunes. Identify has the goods with sounds that confirm that loving goa trance is a good thing. Piercing leads come to mind. Tacker has a bit more sway and even though it's not as striking it still has the rumbly 303 quality. The detail in this was really good with little touches right up to the end of the tracks. Thank God for the internet because otherwise I would have zero chance of getting my hands on this little gem. I don't condone downloading stuff that's readily available, but out of print stuff that is super hard to find (or that is ridiculously expensive) should be shared.
