Guest chris[at]kerb[dot]co[dot]uk Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 Space Tribe - Live And Let Live Artist: Space Tribe Title: Live And Let Live Label: Spirit Zone Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Live And Let Live 02. Kicking Up Some Dust Review: Ahh, Olli Wisdom. It's good to see someone's still cranking out hyperflourotrance in this age of minimalism and breakbeats. 'Kicking up some dust' is a fine tune, starts with loads of NASA samples and just kicks off from there really... You should know what to expect from the illustrious Space Tribe and this certainly doesn't disappoint. 8/10. The flip is also good except for another Sample Overuse Syndrome (I even have my suspicions that it's Olli himself speaking) but once again it's full on happy bouncy flouro trance nonetheless... 5/10 (coz I hate S.O.S. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 I like this EP. Sure, it's a tad cheesy if compared to the most dark and sinister stuff out there, but in my opinion Ollie Wisdom makes far more interesting full-on stuff that what's been coming out of 3D Vision recently. These two tracks are *very* full-on with awesome kickdrum and ripping sounds. The plentiful supply of high frequencies made me happy too, those are neglected much too often these days of minimalism. This isn't exactly innovative, but it IS different from his sound 3-4 years ago (and it's a good differance) and it's very well done in my opinion. 7/10 from me, would have gotten more with a little less sample-overuse and if it was a tad more innovative. Still not bad at all. Really recommended for every fan of full-speed-ahead FX & ripping synth line psy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Philip Xmen Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 The two tracks are too much a like the last couple of albums, but I really enjoy "Live And Let Live", although the melody could be a little longer. Though, still a great track. "Kicking Up Some Dust" is a little more neutral, but also a great Space Tribe track. A long with that, Space Tribe always seems to do a extras out of the covers, and the cover for this single is smooth looking! 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
