Review:

 

The compilation launches off with a remix of Cosmic Ascension by themselves.

A quality track, but nothing beneath the usual.

I've never been a fan of the stiff stuff from Xerox (& Freeman) and the track

featured here doesn't

suprise me even vaguely.

"Tripnotized" is a real killer, psychedelica at its best; a driving bass, a lot

of

layered beautiful noises and a floating melody. Yummie.

The MFG track featured here must be one of the most freaky song I've heard.

It leaves you spinning on the floor, slobbering in confusion. Nevertheless a

great track.

5th track boring - uncommented.

The second psychedelic thingie from Domestic; also very, very good.

"Per Plex" sounds like a debut track. Pretty good, strange I haven't heard more

from them though..

"Running horses" contains good elements, but gets a little boring due to lack

of variation.

A great psychedelic pseudo-ambient mix by Oforia rounds off this compilation

just perfectly.

Buy this! (Grade: 7/10)

Track 1: okay, the orignial is better

Track 2&3: not my thing

Track 4: flat, their album "New Kind of World" is awesome

though, buy that album

Track 5&6: crap

Track 7: excellent, my absolute favorite track on this

album, has a part near the end that is mindblowing

Track 8: took my a couple of listens, but it's good

Track 9: is called "ambient mix" but still danceable,

very nice track, I have never heard the original

mix

 

Overall not a great album. Track 1 is good if you don't have "Dancing Galaxy".

Tracks 2 thru 6 are basically crap. Tracks 7-9 are all good. Fuck, I wish you

could just pay for the songs you like. I don't regret buying this album

because I very much like 3 songs on it, but the rest...If you've got money to

burn, buy it. If, like me, you think $30 plus tax is a lot of money to spend

on a piece of plastic, then don't buy it. You can get more good tune for your

buck elsewhere.

I doesnt like AP(T1) very much...but I must say that their track on this one is

really ok...but I cant understand how u guys can complain on Children of the

doc(T5)...Its fuckin execellent...Try listen to it loud in your headphones and

u wont regret it...this track rocks....

but the best tracks on this compil...is T6-T9. I give this compil.

8.5/10....its worth buying...trust me...especially if u like israeltrance

style....

This series was one of my first forays into psychedelic trance. Israel...seemed so exotic and mysterious. Gave me the sense that Israel was the Mecca of synthesizer and electronic music. As a Duran Duran fan (I can admit it) they had a track called Tel-Aviv which only heightened my level of interest in Israel. Back then I didn't know goa from psy, but was enthralled by those scales and melodies. Trust In Trance was Astral Projection's label so you knew what you were gonna get with this compilation.

 

Cosmic Ascension Remix- This is just a cacophony of awesome. It never stops or even slows down. Perfect track to enjoy in the sunshine.

 

Eternal March- Good, but too much time spent riding the bass line. Of course I wouldn't want to follow that blaster of a track either.

 

Triptonized- This was a stormer that I had never heard before. Even when the beat dropped out the leads were scathing.

 

Psychic Resonator- Not their best, but still sparkly and shiny.

 

Welcome Friends- I found this to be the weakest yet, but still it's not terrible. I think the wobbly 303 saved it for me.

 

Amateur Gynecologist- I know as me we like to fancy ourselves as amateur gynecologists, but would you really want that? Let me tell you it would be a lot less Heidi Klum and much more Queen Elizabeth. But this track was psychedelically juicy with bubbles and squirts coming from all directions. There are speed changes and some big growl. This. Is Psytrance.

 

Per Plex- Before he made a career out of brainless full-on Ronen actually was capable of a psychedelic hard on. Nothing like the detail in the last track, but you wouldn't think this was the same guy who was behind every album he ever produced.

 

Running Horses (Morning Mix)- Oh crap. Just because the word horses is in the title doesn't mean you must have a galloping bass line. But rather than disappointing it actually blossoms into something tolerable. And with Har-Ell I did not see that coming.

 

Big Bang (Ambient Mix)- Not ambient per se it has a good bounce to it. Mysterious and calming at the same time.

 

 

Really good compilation with some stomping goa trance from some of the best in the business. I'd buy it.
