Anoebis Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 V/A - Musica Psychedelica Scandinavica Artist: Various Title: Musica Psychedelica Scandinavica Label: Spiral Trax Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 09'30" Electronic Dreamplanet : Virtual Link 02. 07'37" Psychlopedia : Clockwork Orange 03. 07'51" Human Blue : Epsilon 04. 08'33" Little Blue Men : Megamorphosis 05. 10'27" Subcouds : Plasticine Hellyflowers 06. 08'51" Zabra : Waterworld 07. 11'16" Weirdo Beardo : Rastagoggles 08. 07'55" The Mato Project : I'm Not Coming Back (Boingy Thing Rmx) Review: This was the first cd of Spiral Trax and still the best one!! Here you have that typical Scandinavian sound before everything became minimalistic there... This contains some slower and rather dark tracks with many psychedelic effects (1,2,7) and some fantastic melodic insane stuff!! (the rest...). btw: those melodies are absolutely NOT cheesy!!!!! Song 3 is Human Blue with a dancefloor-killer!! Not as morning as the music he makes now, but also not dark... Just ok, rather fast and melodic... Subcouds track is ok, with a good end, and than we have Zabra!!!! Anyone ever heared of this guy?? if so, mail me, cuz this song rocks!! It's also on Goa-Head 7 and it contains some strange dolphin-samples and alot of twisted melodies!! )) And last but not least we have The Mato Project... It's the old name of ATMOS!!!! You can hear that he wants to make very groovy and hypnotising music, but it's not really atmos-style (more screaming melodies)... It's better imo!! This CD gets an 8,5/10 from me and I think it's a pitty Spiral Trax stopped releasing this kinda music... luckely there was Electric Kool Aid some time ago, which is almost the same style!!

GaySatanicHippie Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 The Mato project is not only Atmos, its also Noma. Atmos and Noma used to work together as Mato Projectb, but the they split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cnt97 Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 The Mato Project has the best track on this album I think ... morning music.. wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Zabra also released a 3-track EP on spiral trax, Waterworld EP. It's SPIT009 and it's VERY good. Zabra is ex-israeli Zwi Akierman, now living in Stockholm I think. He has some more tracks that can be bought online here: http://stage.vitaminic.se/liamuiga/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 I currently have 4 albums from Spiral Trax: Atmos, Noma, Human Blue and this one. I've got 2 under way as well. The XV Kilist album (YES!!) and the Logic Bomb album... A new reprint, so I won't have that damaged last track. Anyway, this one is indeed from Spiral Trax's earlier days and it is very cool in my opinion. All tracks are hard and quite melodic as well. (Well, maybe the Weirdo Beardo and Little Blue Men tracks are not so melodic, but still) Afromentioned tracks are definately the weirdest tracks on this comp. But I believe all tracks here have something special. I especially like the Psychlopedia track, this is just sooo deep and fat... Great comp here, you can't go wrong with Spiral Trax. To me, they're one of the best Goa labels!! 8,5/10 here...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slave2rave Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Wow, i heard The Mato Project track @ philosomatika, and i must confess i was really impressed by the quality and the psychedelia under control. It was a surprise to know that Atmos made tracks like this one in the past. Maybe he could do something like that in the future, who knows? Hope so. I can't review this album, since i never listened to it, but just thought that i should comment on that Mato track. Awesome. Since it's the only way to find this track, it IS worth buying this album.

Sideffect... Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Various – Musica Psychedelica Scandinavica (1998) Again a release that got my attention for one reason. The last track " The mato project - I'm Not Coming Back (Boingy Thing Mix)" was one of my first goa tracks that I've heard in a mix and very hard to found. Damn! This track isn't from a famous artist at all so you can imagine the frustration I have been through, it took me some years but it was worthed . This track is a good example of goatrance, the stops and going back on track in squeakily waves, just perfect. It's a dark release considering it's time age. The type of goatrance you would not suspect in 1998, then again 1998 was the year when a lot new talent had chosen a darker atmosphere in goatrance compared to the melodic year 1997. A recomendation for dark fans who would like to hear some oldschool but don't want that melody what is probably also a reason why they are dark fans...

Oopie Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Human Blue track deserves a mention. Epsilon is the best I've heard from him, defo gonna drop it at some party sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
