Review:

 

very cool cd. with a really really cool intro - loved it. good songs until #

7 - which really jumps out at you - excellent excellent song. last song is

okay (nothing special). but the rest are very enjoyable. 7/10

[Guest Pit-UFO]

Velocity (Fourth Flight) was a very bad flight. The next flight is

exactly what the title suggest: an epic storm. PURPLE BUDDHA, TRISTAN V A GREEN

NUN and DARSHAN are excellent progressive tracks to start the engines. The rest

is good except for that really boring SLINKY WIZARD song. 7.5/10

[freak51]

Ehh, not too keen on the prog-house influence but again the Kuro track is a

must-have: it lifts And separates the mind from the body. Cass should not

have stolen the Darshan sample from ECG; ECG is a far stronger track.

[Guest Ktaadn]

The Rhinos come charging back with a splendid compilation. This one is one of

the most forward-thinking albums around. Progressive, but true to its roots.

It's good to see that some psy-trance artists aren't content to reproduce the

same tracks over and over. Here's some variety, some chances taken, risks

become rewards. Have a look at the cover; truly it's indicative of the album.

Dark and sinister with blinding flashes of light. "Babel Fish" encompasses all

that's right with music today. Can you weather the storm?

[Guest YOU]

BAMBOO FOREST YAY LETS GOOO!tristan v green nun is good too.

[seraph]

Pretty good flight.....It has the concept and that's important....The songs are

very well blended...Best songs are : 1,4,6,7,8 ( !!!!! )

7.5/10

[seraph]

Oops, I have forget Babel Fish...it is stunning song...

[Guest ?? slink ??]

very good cd. not quite the journey of the last flight, but still very good.

minimilistic-haters may find it not quite their cup-a-tea [its not really

minimal but it touches it in paces] but its nice and psychadelic and dark all

the same. track 1 prob the best.

[Guest Tchankov I.V.]

It's actually not as good as Velocity (4th Fl) nor its marvellous sequel Night

Vision (6th Fl). This issue gets messy at times, too harsh for my taste.

Having said that there are still some tracks worth a listen: 1,3,6,7 just to

name a few. It's progressive in the Rhino's way but nothing extraordinary

happens here - there's no extra energy besides it, truely, WYSIWYG. So it'd be

prudent to wait for the next flight. 6,5/10 Tchankov I.V. (civ604@mail.ru)

One of the best of the flight series! Up there with number 3 Slipstream.

This is a Storming release, well worth getting.

 

Purple Buddah : Remote - Fast trippy opener

Slinky Wizard : Laminator X - Like any slinky wizard, sublime

Tristan And A Green Nun : Babel Fish - Hard, dark, cool

Darshan : Phased Transition - Wonderful movement

Cass Vs Slide : Mephisto's Child (Stoop And Fidget Rmx) - Always loved this & it's a decent remix

Manmademan : Halt Production - On a few FR comps & is always good to hear

Kuro : Ghost - Best on the album. KURO I want more

Bamboo Forest : Wave Table - Like the good old Bambbo Forest

Death Snare Pussies : Pussy Whipped - Weird title, cool track
