Guest Pit-UFO Posted March 4, 2000 Share Posted March 4, 2000 V/A - The Mystery Of The Yeti 2 Artist: Various Title: The Mystery Of The Yeti 2 Label: TIP World Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 16'45" Process : Under Mount Kailash 02. 14'37" Hallucinogen : The Herb Garden 03. 15'21" Total Eclipse : Freefalling Upwards 04. 13'26" Doof : High On Mount Kailash Review: The Ambient journey continues with good results again. Hallucinogen and Total Eclipse moments work better than the minimal Doof visions (as always). The Process part sound to much like music from a soundtrack. 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted March 4, 2000 Share Posted March 4, 2000 This is absolutely stunning. I lack the words to describe this CD. So beautiful it hurts. I must say, that the track by Process is not bad at all. It's such an intelligent, subtle, floaty, dreamy And psychedelic journey. I will not try to describe the other tracks. Words wont do them justice! just get it NOW!!! P.L.U R. - Psylent Buddhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeffe[at]freesurf[dot]fr Posted March 14, 2000 Share Posted March 14, 2000 A great cd, ambiant but not borring, best tracks hallucinogen (very close to Shpongle !)and Total eclipse Don't know how the part 1 sounds like but i will try to find it soon..7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twisted-barbeck[at]mtu-net[dot]r Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 So long awaited Yeti Part 2 will remain a mssterpiece for many years... As first part it is a combination of ethnical theme and the latest technologies. It is more melodic, I don't want to say commercial, but I continue to consider Yeti Part I the best work of colaboration of Simon Posford, TIP And Total Eclipse. Doof on the 2nd part hasn't impressed me very much. The first part was much more deeper, shamanic... I remember one my Dr.Hoffmann experience in the wood, near the fireplace, on the swamp when I felt all majik and wisdom of the universe around us... And the sky was so deep and blue...

Guest Infected Max Posted April 9, 2000 Share Posted April 9, 2000 OooooOOOh very good masterpiece... The Hallucinogen track is soooo good!!! Even better than Shpongle project. The Total Eclipse is great too, And also the Doof. But the best is for sure Process!! The track is so weird..seems boring but suddenly you understand it..an incredible sensation!!! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsbedard Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 PROCESS is totally brillant on this compilation. Really slow grooves with a great flute and guitar final...A masterpiece in-self. The comes the great Herb Garden from the new "hallucinogen-to-Shpongle" transitionning posford. A great work, a nice psychedelic atmosphere that you could feel when your very far on mushrooms. Voices and screams in the background, with tribal beats. Total Eclipse track is okay, but nothing to see with the 2 first. And doof is a little bit disapointing like always, so i give a 10/10 for the 2 superbs tracks and 6/10 for the 2 seconds. 8/10 for the compilation (after long calculus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted July 22, 2000 Share Posted July 22, 2000 Allow me to give a second review of this: I must say that after some time, this minimal Doof track actually appeals to me! It's very atmospherical in it's own weird way! The ending with the chants is sooo beautiful!!! The I must agree with the others, the Process track is one of the most subtle and beautiful tracks ever made... The only track which isn't that great is the one by Total Eclipse. But still not bad!

vOrTeXdReAm Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 All tracks are beautiful trips through an ambient atmosphere, full of yetis and shamans... Process opens up with a soft and original tune. Perfect drum loops and the melody in the end, with acoustic guitars and Raja Ram playing the flute, is sooo soothing. "The Herb Garden" by Simon Posford sounds exactly like the Shpongle album, which is good... It's the best track here. The Total Eclipse track is also nice. I didn't like their ambient style in the "Violent Relaxation" album, but this is different. The metallic percussion in Doof's "High On Mount Kailash" is kind of cool, although the track is a bit too minimalistic in the beginning. If you enjoyed the Shpongle album, then you're going to worship this one... Raja Ram's flutes work well as always. Now I'd really like to lay my hands on "The Mystery Of The Yeti Part 1"...

Children Posted November 11, 2000 Share Posted November 11, 2000 This one is "just" as good as Mystery Of The Yeti 1, cause Tracks 1&4 aren't awesome compared to Mystery 1 Tracks 1&4 ... but Track 3 is GREAT, and Track 2 is THE BEST ambient Track I've ever heard till then !!! Track 3 is more psychedelic ambient (but still peaceful ambient), with very nice melodies and effects (some female vocals too) ... the best Total Eclipse ambient Track for sure ... Track 2 has some good vocals (some of them are very twisted ;-)) particularly during the intro, then the last half of the Track has a very good flute melody ... awesome stuff, even better than Shpongle Tracks ! You have to hear it to understand its magic :-) Rating : 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eden.solaris Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 G-R-E-A-T!!!!! I finally could find this CD and I can say it will stay in my CD collection for a long time!!! Hallucinogen (aka Simon Posford aka Shpongle without Raja Ram, although there IS a flute in the track...) is the best song. The voices in the first part are wondrefull: "You ever heard of the Yeti the aboninaninaninable snowman? That is of course not an animal, not a pre-human being, that is originally one of the shaman's Gods..." Excellent!!! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikefdwyer[at]yahoo[dot]co[dot]u Posted May 1, 2001 Share Posted May 1, 2001 Thia cd is ok, just listened oncve as i just got it. Hallucinogen rocks, but his work as shpongle is so much cooler. Kinda have to be in the right mood to listen to. Must say that song 1 is a bit of a dissapointment rest is good. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zunné skviid Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 My opinion izzz that number 1 and 4 are the best tracks on this CD. Hallucinogens track sounds like everything else he creates right now.. (with some exceptions.. (celtic cross and "e")). The Total Eclipse track in the most not awesome . All tracks on this CD rox, so if you find it, BUY IT!!! 9/10 (1&4 are 10/10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diepeveen Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 So very... very beutiful!! Best track is for sure nr. 2 wich is one of the best tracks ever made! The others are "only" Super - 10/10.................. And remember: The Yeti loves to drink Schnaps! *lol* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest voxmachina77[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 Well again Yeti, great record, track 2 is very well conceived, the other as well too. My opinion on this one? Smoke a large joint of erb and fly away trough amzyng colors, and silences...Yes, it takes you to the silence...9.7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MG Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I wish I could get the 1st one because this CD ROX!!! I think the Doof track is a letdown on the journey, especially after freefalling upwards, I can't wait to get 12 & more eagerly, the Crystal Skulls. I Love Stories & Journeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drolniak[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 track three is a great example of grooving trance and four I like very much bucause it is very minimal and ambient. the first two are pretty good too. however, a friend managed to copy me MOTY I(which I am eternally grateful because I know it is impossible to find) which is much better, especially tracks 2 and 3 which meld together are kind of trancy but extremely well produced.

Guest andreas[at]happyhippie[dot]com Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 "You have heard of the Yeti..?" :-) The herb garden is one of the best Hallucinogen tracks I have heard, and is my favourite track on this album. The other three tracks are great too. Together with Raja Ram's flute they make this composition a wonderful psychedelic trip, listening from beginning to end. Lovely and mystical experiences. :-) 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaq Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 HALLUCINOGEN TRACK is a masterpiece!! I can't stop listening to it. Fantastic..the tablas and the flutes just do it for me! And it has this beautiful beat that runs through the track. Total eclipse track is also very good. Herb Garden is as good as any Shpongle release, if not better! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
