mars Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 Kiss The Future 2 - Procyon Artist: Kiss The Future 2 Title: Procyon Label: Atomic Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 08'27" Saiko-Pod : Pling Pong 02. 08'25" Psychaos : Creative Anomaly 03. 08'20" NTSX : Dreamshot 04. 06'37" The Antidote : Chewbacca 05. 08'39" Tortured Brain Vs Steriliser : The Dealer 06. 08'25" Morphem : Zwergensaft 07. 07'00" Man With No Name : Deep Trouble In Outer Space (Original 94 Mix) 08. 07'03" Nucleus : Hovercraft (System Mix) 09. 08'26" Etnica : Simulate The Future Review: First the Saiko-Pod is a cool pumping dancefloor track with 2 parts. The first one is mainly rhythmic, and the second one is more psychedelic with synthetic sounds going from one ear to another quickly ! The Psychaos track is for sure a Psychaos track: usual rhythm And sounds. A pretty repetitive tune but various enough not to be bored. The NTSX thing is like a hardtekno track: big beat, industrial-like sounds...ok track on a dancefloor i guess. Antidote (Total Eclipse) guys are definitely mad with this angry track: Techno influences again. everything is fat on this tune. Don't expect psychedelic waves, the deal is mainly a beat-summonning-dancing-zombies track !! Dino Psaras And sterilizer piece of music starts with the usual running rhythm of tortured brain tracks...a guy talking in the background tells us the story and after 3 minutes, the madness begins: the track makes me think of someone running away, stopping, running again, getting out of breath. The drums are used with expertise and there are big breaks with wizzy sythetic sounds and a rain of kicks! Morphem track is very fast...pumping. Some patterns are filled with a cool recurrent theme. the end is more melodic and the whole result is very good! This MWNN track as released by Oforia 2+ years ago...Typical MWNN music, very psychedelic, good groove, good rise...but i dont like the break:too fluffy. The track is good anyway but i prefer Pigs in Space remix. Nucleus provide us with a monotonic track...waves of smooth sounds over a rhythm..nothing else. Eventually the Etnica track is very good! It vas written a long time ago and it's a pleasure to see it on a compil. So it has a truly groovy kick/bassline, the psychedelic sounds come after 2 minutes, increase after 5 minutes, more psychedelic sounds come after 6 minnutes the track is like a cool story. The rhythm is really perfect. Overall we have once again a very good compil from Atomic. The best tracks are 1,3,4,5,6,9 to my mind. New sounds...very interesting...8/10.

Guest Ubik Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 Another Atomic comp, once again psytechno with industrial influences in most of the tracks. First track by Saiko-Pod, quite cool with these ping pong samples going on between left and right. Older tracks like Universal Mind or Friagram are better though. Second track by psychaos is good, nice bass, nice rythmic. The two tracks coming after are pretty bad I think. The NTSX one sounds really too much like bad techno. Chewbacca has an horrible guitar riff all the time, and even if the chewbacca samples are funny, I hate this track. The Antidote can do so much better ! Next track The Dealer, must be my favourite here. Begins with a weird bass, then a very long movie sample enters and after that the track litterally explodes, with a guitar played melody. Zwergensaft is also good, I like the use of the electric guitar. Next the MWNN track... Well it doesn't sound so bad in itself even if really old, but it's totally out of place on this comp... Hovercraft is more quiet, with a subtile melody, good track nothing much to say. Last track by Etnica, very good but a little disappointing. More melodious than their latest tracks. Overall a pretty good comp, but not the best from Atomic, I liked Electrosect and Single Cell better. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gizmo Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 It's one of the worst compilations from Atomic. Saiko-Pod - interesting samples, but they can do much better tracks. Psychaos - really, it's one of the worst tracks he ever made, with this funny, simple, stupid acid tune. (I like Joti's music a lot, but not this track). NTSX - again, sounds like from early 90's really prmitive. Antidote - now it's much better, this one is good And original one. Next track, mad And powerful, sounds like Tim Schuldt's productions, hard samples. Morphem - very good And hypnotic track. Man With No Name - nice discodelic sounds if U like Man, U like this track. Nucleus - average And boring one, nothing special. Etnica's track is good, but also that's any revelation. The best tracks 4,6,9. Title should be Kiss The Past.

Guest AlexG Posted November 12, 2000 Share Posted November 12, 2000 this is a BORING cd! it's amazing how much the quality of atomic's stuff has decreased with their last 2 comps ("kiss the future 2" and "serial killaz", i'm not counting "corrosive breaks" because it was a different stile and it was great). they were one of my favorite labels; at this point i really don't know. go to www.thump-radio.com, and find the dino psaras (owner of atomic) interview on there. there, he basically talks about how for many years he and his fellow psytrance artists were making great music, but were never appreciated by the mainstream public, so that's why they're shifting gears now more towards the general electronica sound...how pathetic! what the hell has happened to the ideals of this music and this movement? now don't get me wrong, i'm not really what one would call a "grumpy old goa head" (i'm only 20), but this is seriously lame! at least most other labels still have their heads in the right place! all that said, the classic MWNN track was a nice touch, and the Etnica track is truly great, and gets 8/10; 3/10 for the rest of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adp028[at]mail[dot]usask[dot]ca Posted November 13, 2000 Share Posted November 13, 2000 I think this was just too futuristic for "the many" to comprehend. Saiko-pod's track is nothing short of a masterpiece. When the ping pong sound comes back in after the intro, I experienced one of the most futuristic experiences I've ever had. Do you really think you're smarter than KoxBox? To hear this track (or any other on this compilation for that matter)mixed by a good DJ on a loud soundsystem is an international, technological experience which very few people get the oppotunity to have...You've gotten this far by listening to it, try not let that go to waste. And the MWNN track was a brilliant touch...and try to remember that melody does not necessarily equal fluff. The Morphem track is up there with Saiko-pod...It's all brilliant, if you're into futuristic culture do yourself a favour and pick this up.

Guest mumbo00[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 19, 2000 Share Posted November 19, 2000 Futuristic? Did You ever listen to other new stuff from other labels? It's not future it's 100 steps in the past! Some of this track are primitive And I know that lot of artists from this comp. can do better music, much better. Only Morphem And Etnica are good. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dorus Posted November 19, 2000 Share Posted November 19, 2000 one of the best forward-looking and openminded comps i like the way atomic is going ie take stuff from all kinds of music .... but the common denominator is dancefloor destruction..... hhehehehe and wait until u hear dino dj =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rdorn[at]cyllene.uwa.edu[dot]au Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 one of the best releases from atomic. best tracks for me... the dealer and simulate the future, but the rest are good too. no bad tracks actually. still not sure what man with no name's 1994 track is doing on a comp called kiss the future though. anyway 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dano[at]dds[dot]nl Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 I think it's pretty fuckin'weird that Morphem's track "Degi Wah", which was released on Digital Psionics' "Psionic Medicine" in 1999 apears on this compil under the name "Zwergensaft". It's a killer track, but really, tricks like this STINK !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahoney Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 really dissapointed... Saiko Pod is the best... Frank E got a great new sound (The Great Unknown by Kox Box is so damn great to)... One of the kings...! ohh. by the way... really didn´t like Tortured Brains Tim Schuldt inspired dist melodi (can u call it melodi?!?)... gives me nothing,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Deep Trouble In Outer Space...the original. After that it's slim pickings. A whole lot of the minimal psytrance loaded with super repetitive beats and a few touches of goa. It's almost background music to me.
