Review:

 

Hey, what do you know, new compilation on Atomic!

Sweet.. Track 1. MOS is one of my favourite producers,

their last album was REALLY good.. This song remids me

of the style they kept in their previous album, Meter,

more than their recent stuff. Dark, driving, loads of

triplets, very forceful. NICE. Track 2. Slow, crisp

kick, progressive feel, nice and chilled. Track 3.

Breakbeaty start, housey feel but at the same time

quite fast with nice work on the hihats and some

rather dark layer kicking in halfway. Track 4.

Awesome! Summery playful tune with the harsh atomic

technoid approach throughout. The percussion is just

beautiful and that break halfway really did it for me.

Track 5. I heard Dino Psaras play this tune a while

ago and I just could not figure out what the hell this

could be. Brilliant. Fast, agressive without being

either really hard or heavy. That melody is really

haunting and the way the song builds up will get you

on your feet.. Track 6. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......

Fucking hell!! Rude tune with Wizzy Noise like

percussion. Hard, aggressive, downright dirty! This

baby is made for the dancefloor. Track 7. Slow,

rolling tune, this is Aphid Moon under a different

name.. Spot the relation? Zaphod Betelgeuse from

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.. Nice, I prefer the

Aphid Moon song though. Track 8. Ok, ANOTHER remix of

creeper. This is well housey.. I prefer the original,

this doesn't do the trick for me. Track 9. Nice and

fluffy, as expected from mr. Gus Till. Nothing

incredible but a nice closure to this compilation. Can

anyone remind me where this is from? I've definitely

heard this quite a few times before.. Overall a very

good compilation, although I've got to warn you: Most

of the songs on this are very serious crossovers.

You've got to remember that more than anything this is

an Atomic release with the cold, funky, technoid feel

behind even the fluffiest of the songs. As expected

the production is superb and with the exception of

that Updata remix, all the songs are good, each in

their own different ways. Favourites: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6.

Overall a good 8.5/10.

I listened to this just the other day, WAY too much house on it for my taste

and quite a disappointment after the first 2 good ones. The rest was pretty

dark but also pretty boring.

OK, I haven't heard the album yet, but I own Kiss the future 1 & I can't

imagine the 3rd sounding "housey" don't you mean "technoy"???

To seaweed_pate[at]yahoo[dot]com: Betelgeuse is where Ford Prefect is from in Hitch

Hiker's, Zaphod Beeblebrox is the president of the Galaxy, not Zaphod

Betelgeuse, i think you got a bit confused.
