Guest Chaitu/Purple Passion Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 V/A - ISRAliens 3 Artist: Various Title: ISRAliens 3 Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 09'11" Private Taste : First 02. 07'05" Astrix And Atomic Pulse : Optical Vibes 03. 07'39" Illumination And Perplex : Real Magic 04. 07'36" Yahel : Evolution 05. 08'25" Psysex : Amphitamaniac 06. 07'38" Xerox On Maskalin : Fanatical Clubbers 07. 08'44" Psycraft : Muse 08. 07'14" Hujaboy : Counting Spirals 09. 07'18" BLT : Bass Tah Review: The Israeliens strike for a third time!. But on this occasion theres a confict of sorts - most interesting and entertaining though not as good as Volume 1, it might just edge past the second edition - lets find out why! 1. Private Taste - First (Its a relaxed opener, with lots of little percussion and entrances. The melody is very relaxing, I can see myself grooving with it lightly under the mid - day sun. A deepish morning tune for the outdoors, but great for clubs as well.) 2. Astrix and Atomic Pulse - Optical Vibes (Smashing!! This is a real energetic dance floor track with a scando feel to it. Thumbs up to this duo, one half of which used to produce victories. A real full on peice of music which is simply a 'hit' in parties and will be fire on the floor for sure!) 3. Illumination and Perplex - Real Magic (My least favourite here, but only for the time i think. Not as likeable as the name suggests, I haven't found any magic in it as yet, but theres still plenty of diving left to do so it might just grown on me. Fingers crossed) 4. Yahel - Evolution (A big change in style from Yahel here - the melodies are gone. Nevertheless it still has a full on feel and is a great track to jump with. Sometimes I feel its over and not going to take a direction - but thats just the best part - it just keeps coming back strong. Very promising stuff from Yahel who is about to release a new album , the content of which is along these lines - i believe) 5. Psysex - Amphitamiac (One of my favourites here. The samples are taken from the crazy movie 'Requiem of a Dream'. The usual psysex bubbles and squeaks, the madness back and forth, those inevitable samples , and those amazing almost 'epic' melodies toward the then end- beautiful!!) 6. Xerox and Maskalin - Fanatical Clubbers (I sure ain't one of them, but I'm digging the track. Reminds me of some great parties in Goa I attended 3 years ago which had a very festive atmosphere and music wise I remember those tribal spanish shouts of 'Ecuadar' and 'Free', to my immediate memory. A happy track, and I think thats exactly what the world needs today - preferably in a large dosage.) 7. Psycraft - Muse (Another favourite here. Beautiful track really , I think almost better than anything on Gravitech. Happy, groovy, danceable. A real highlight of this compilation, go go Psycraft!!!) 8. Hujaboy - Counting Spirals (Things are getting real dark here courtesy of Huja, but most full on with a bassline that will probably make people dig holes until they're underground. Reminds me of the old Krembo music, but only much better sound and production.) 9. BLT - Bass - tah (The name says it all.) Quote
Guest Phoonch Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 I have this compilation almost from the first day it was released in Israel and what could I expect more than deep full on groovy smart psytrance and amazing production. this compilation is for me the comp' of the year and not just saying that because I'm an Israelien I ment Israeli. This compilation just rock's, it not as good as the first but still very close to it. favorite tracks: 2, 5, 7, 9. ranking: 9.99999999/9.999999999 Get it as fast as u can!!! Quote
Guest goa[at]c4[dot]com Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 very good one- a combination of progressive crunch and fullpower. favorites: 2 (a real killer!), 4, 6, 7 (great full on shit!), 8 (dark dark is the night), 9 (funky head bending shit!!). Bom Shankar! Quote
Guest a231[at]zahav.net[dot]il Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 woooooooooow man i love it!!!!!!! and and track 9 Bass Tah is the best GET IT NOW!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Guest IsraFreak Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 isrealien trance started to become clubby and clubby everyday ppl just lost the psy in their soul ... thats sad Quote
Guest theorem Posted October 2, 2001 Posted October 2, 2001 As much as I think that this album is pretty good, i have to agree with IsraFreak on this one... There once was a time when I looked to the Israeli's as the leaders of psychedelic trance, but alas, they now seem to be more concerned with the club sound than the psy sound. Don't get me wrong, there are some dope ass tracks here (2,6,7) but overall, it sounds a bit washed out... Quote
Guest FelipeLysergicProBrasil Posted October 2, 2001 Posted October 2, 2001 Very good...better than the 2nd Isralien...Hom-mega did it again. Psysex track rules, BLT track is the best. Illumination & Perplex is very good too, and Psycraft. For Israeli Psytrance Lovers only...Fuck minimalist crap. Quote
Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted October 22, 2001 Posted October 22, 2001 Good stuff. Flows very well. You have to love Psysex. Love the beats on this one. Thanks Hommega. Quote
Guest Xymaths Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 Not a Israeli fan so much but yeah this release is superb. Although a little too accessible (smooth that is) it really does have some good moments-Hujaboy is what Midimillitz have never been-dark and stompy and the Psysex track is deft my favourite of this year 2001! Nice one Hon-Mega!! Quote
Guest aquamental[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted October 26, 2001 Posted October 26, 2001 I love this, just have to love these wonderful israeli people... Fanatic Clubbers is so happy and Psycraft is one of my favorite artists nowadays - everything they make is just so beutiful! Astrix rocks too... can't wait to hear his forthcoming debut album!! No bad tracks in this one. Quote
Guest Candlejack Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 Yes!! More of this shit please! From the excellent number one (of which I've also got that excellent Ashtrax remix) to the hard punding number 9 this is excellence all the way!! Standouts here are hard to name, but if you'd really press me I'd answer: 1,2,5,6 Psysex really surprises me here with a more than excellent track!! People that cab whine about this album are probably not sane anymore..!! Quote
Guest anti-club trancer Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 i'm really disappointed by this israeli clubbing trance that sounds like house music for me.i don't like any track in this shitty comp :0/10 Quote
Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Lots of boring tracks but one brainblasting track from Private taste -First in a deep trance style. 2 others good stuff, the first by Psysex with sex-breath samples at begining;the second comes from Xerox feat Maskalin. There's nothing else for me in this comp. Rating: 4/10 Quote
Guest Defbydelta... Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 This one is the best of the 3 of them i think best track on this on is 2,3,5,9! track 1 sucks.. 8/10 Quote
Guest yataali[at]bluemail[dot]ch Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 perhaps tracks for the morning... I don't know but I know that psy trance musn't be played in clubs!!!! Psychedelic house... It sounds funny no??? Check the last album of deedrah and you will understand... Quote
