Review:

 

This comp is between ambient and harder stuff.

First track, even if not my favourite on the Shpongle album, is a great ambient

track that starts well the cd. The name says it all for the second track, which

is also ambient. The X-Dream track is like the other X-Dream tracks : it's

good,

but a little too repetitive. Fourth track is the only one I don't like, the

melody is kind of annoying. Fifth track is pretty happy, but too short to be

really good. Track 6 is great, the hardest track of the cd. Seventh track (from

the same guys than Antidote and Total Eclipse) is good, but sounds a little

old.

Last track is ambient again and ends well the cd. 8/10. Get it if you can. One

last thing : very poor cover artwork...

Kicking test is AMAZING, very cool cd and ubik is right - if you can get it

then do! - great very late or very early when you're almost ready to chill out

but still want a good beat ;)

I don't how TIP dared to sell an album with a such poor cover artwork...You see

the cover above, it sucks!!Anyway, it's the music I have to review, not the

cover..What to say about the music in this comp'? Well, what I really like is

that it is always beetwen ambient and goatrance...I like both styles so that's

great.The melodies are great, really unwinding, especially for the ambient

stuff, and the tracks fit perfectly together, that's nice because I hate comps

where it's not so.My favorite track is Sundown, maybe the hardest one, but

probably the nicest too:) 7.5/10

I have to say I disagree about the cover art - I'm not saying it's anything

special, but the original TIP compilations (the four coulours) had all gone

along the hindu theme - Rolling Shiva, and in this case the Shiva Lingam.

Their designs were simple and memorable. As for the music, I think it is the

least powerful of the the three I.E compilations, but there's some tasty

morcels in there anyway.

maybe the cover art makes a point.... no matter how bad it looks.... you still

buy the album for the music inside, and therein lies the magic.... problem

with much of 2days society (computer games, movies, clothing, cars)....

everything looks great on the surface, but underneath is very shallow or

breakable or badly made.... fuck marketing - buy the real thing...get infinite

excursions
