mars Posted March 7, 2000 Share Posted March 7, 2000 V/A - Order Odonata 4 Artist: Various Title: Order Odonata 4 Label: Dragonfly Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 06'17" Luminaire : Duet Dub (Way Out West Rmx) 02. 07'36" Purple : Cascades 03. 05'51" Genetic : Electric Showdown 04. 08'56" Bus : Section 8 05. 08'06" Lotus Blue : Psychedelic Rock'n Roll (X-Dream Rmx) 06. 07'24" Semsis : Sound Vandal (Rmx) 07. 08'20" Noma : Tube 08. 07'12" Yumade : Das Hume 09. 08'16" Excession : Pulsar Review: This is obviously what Dragonfly calls their best tracks. Indeed, they are new, innovative, good grooves. the only issue is that there is not a unity on this compilation. the begining is -quite- melodic, while the end is really monotonic-bom-bom-bom-bom-... Please notice the trancey trippy dancing ambiance created by the tracks 1 (Luminaire),2 (Purple),5 (Lotus Blue with X Dream) The ways developped by Bus with section 8 (trk4) and THE remix of Sound Vandal by Semsis (trk 6) are excellent, to my mind. A good compil for those who like to listen to psytrance on their nailboard and then put some salt on theit cuts. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted March 28, 2000 Share Posted March 28, 2000 Too lightweight for my tastes. Dragonfly has been basically just going through the motions since Hallucinogen left to form Twisted. OK, Shakta is still an excellent catch for this label but I notice he's not on this comp at all. Filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GlobalSteez Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Good to see the Dragonfly buzz back but I was expecting a little more in the general quality of the tracks than what's presented here. To be honest I've only heard it through once so far so it might yet grow on me. Stand out tracks for me were Luminaire's 'Duet Dub' & Lotus Blue's 'Psychedelic Rock & Roll' After hearing this track was re-mixed by X-Dream, I basically bought this album based around that fact knowing that at least one of the tracks would be shit hot...and it was. I'm prefering their chillout L.S.D. label more these days, the stuff released on that's amazing. 6.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Children Posted April 30, 2000 Share Posted April 30, 2000 What's happening to psytrance ??? It seems many labels sell comps (TIP with Halluci-Nations comp, Atomic with their comps, last Tantrance & Goa Head comps) with Tracks having less and less melodies ! Justen listen to the 3 previous Order Odonata comps and this one ... that's COMPLETELY different !!! And I really don't like it, sorry :-((( I like changing psychedelic MELODIES in psytrance, these Tracks are not melodious at all and aren't really varied ... Only Track 2 is interesting, other Tracks are not Bad (except Track 5) but I find them boring :-( Beware, we're close to reach Techno-style !!! That would really be a pity :-( Rating : 3.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trancer22 Posted May 30, 2000 Share Posted May 30, 2000 I completely agree with children01. This is not what I expected from Dragonfly. There is no melody and it's way too simple. It almost sounds like boring minimal hose. I understand that psy trance is changing but I don't see anything inteligent about this one.

Guest LaGoaTrance Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Pretty good compilation. The begining (tracks 1,2 and 3 ) is more trance than Goa but it's quite interesting. I find the Genetic track funny (ok, I know you're not agree with me). The other part is good minimalist psychedelic trance, "bus" and "Yumade" are not as bad as usual, tracks 5 (X-Dream remix of lotus blue), 6 (Semsis) and 7(Noma) are good for dance (those 3 tracks are the better part of this compilation), the last track Excession-pulsar is a little bit too minimalist. Finally, it's good to hear another Dragonfly release even if you will not find in this compilation some well known Dragonfly artists as Pleiadians or Shakta. Waitin' for Order Odonata 5 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mazzive Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 I just got this CD, is still in the plastic cover. I haven´t opened it because I wanted to know what you people think about this release, many people dislike it and some others like it. Maybe this one will grow on me, I´m not a melodic trance freak. Is melodic old fashion??, I guess yes, and look how we are getting into techno slowly...that´s evolution!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boomwizard[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted September 24, 2000 Share Posted September 24, 2000 Evolution is change, and change is ALWAYS a good thing it's "THE WAY". Variety here, Tube is a very good track 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest janr[at]adam.com[dot]au Posted November 25, 2000 Share Posted November 25, 2000 I think it's really good. Especially the Genetic track. Yumade is very good too. I don't like the Lutus Blue (x-dream rmx)track much though. A few other tracks sound great, and a few are OK.... I thought it would be old crap, like the first two Order odonatas, but oo4 is cool.

DeathPosture Posted November 25, 2000 Share Posted November 25, 2000 I've have this for quite some time without listening to it more than a couple of times... But then I heard the Yumade-track at a party and decided to dust this CD of and give it another listen... And MAN that Yumade-track is good... The rest of the CD is ... Ehh.... Ok, I guess... Nothing that really grips my attention! I'd give this 5/10 Bom shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaySatanicHippie Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Just get the the sampler on 12", because it contains the only two outstanding tracks on this comp, "Tube" and "Pulsar". The rest I dont like, but a lot of my friends are reall into the Bus and into the Purple track. But get the sampler, it makes an excellent 12".
