Review:

 

An long awaited and absolute EXCELLENT album by Mittelstandskinder Ohne Strom

from Germany... I must say that this fell in my taste the first time I listend

to it and I must also say that this might be, in my opinion, the best album so

far in 2001! The tracks on the album are minimal wich is the usual sound from

M.O.S. and I LOVE minimal... especially when it's so freakin' good! I don't

think I don't like any track on this album... they all are really good and

most of them KICK ASS! This is a true must have for all you minimal lovers and

DJ's out there, play this at your set and I´ll promise you a hole lot of

freaks dancing :-) Anyway... as I said there are no bad tracks, very hard to

say wich one's the best... but... I have to say that "Elements" and

"Superdoener" are my favourites, they are very very good! I advice all of you

out there to go get this, NOW! This is a must have and it's for sure worth a

10/10! Enjoy!!!

THis album is a killer!!!!!!! Clouds, and Timing Oh my goodness these tracks

can get a crowd moving. well I say you have to buy this album if you like the

style. I think it is techno not minimal. Minimal would be a little diffrent.

but anyways if you like psy techno trance than you have to buy it.

I agree with all of you!! Great minimalstic trance with heavy beats. Not as

much subtile melodies as Atmos, Noma and such bring us but the heavy bass will

make you move. My favorite tracks are _Kommdas_, Timing and Clouds but all

tracks are good. Excellent album!

Very well produced techno album - atmospheric and dubby sounds and some minimal

melody layered over a tipically germanic sounding bassline. Isn't as groovy as

I hoped it would be; rhythms sounding a bit stark in places. Production is

massive though - clear as a mountain creek water. But it doesn't have a lot to

do with psy-trance...

MOS is back, and they return in style with another album full of their

characteristic dark and atmospheric sound. This album is a bit more towards

minimal than their previous effort, Bug, and I do think Bug was a really good

piece of psytrance. But, so is this if you listen to it properly (on

headphones or on a good soundsystem and LOUD!!) This album can create a real

atmosphere, though I liked the way the tracks were mixed together in Bug

better. In that album they created a flow, whereas here you get some pause

between tracks. That said, I'll give this 8,5/10 so that's the same score as

Bug!

(Also check out their track Click (to be found on Goa-Head 7) that's still one

of their best songs ever IMO)

A really great album by MOS. It is more minimal than "Bug", and i can't say

that i like it just as much, but it's great music for both dancing and

listening.

 

The production is even better than on "Bug", and I must say I can't wait for

the next album from these guys.

 

Concerning the "minimalism-vs-goa" fight, I must say that there is some old

school psytrance that i loved back then, but i find cheesy now. In a couple of

years I might even find MOS cheesy, but that's ok. Taste differs, and taste

evolves.
