GaySatanicHippie Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 You're right, this EP is pretty cool, it's definitely different. I dont know about 10/10 though, for me its more like 7.5/10. Iboga has had problems with mastering in the past but it has gotten better, so this EP is a step back to its earlier releases. Too bad, because these tracks are very innovative in a deep gloomy kind of way. Sometimes I wonder if it is supposed to sound this unmastered, it gives the tracks a very different mysterious feel, but on the other hand it makes these tracks very hard to mix, because whatever way you bring these tracks into the mix, it is very hard to keep the tension in the lower frequencies, if you know what I mean?

Guest Stormbringer Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 Lurifax - Pferd / Lobo Artist: Lurifax Title: Pferd / Lobo Label: Iboga Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Pferd 02. Lobo 03. Ghede Nimbo 04. Cryonics Review: Ooooh! What has happened to this danish guy Jacob Olsen? This 12" is so crazy! I bought this record some months ago but I still can´t stop playing it on my vinylcarver. My reaction when I listened to it the first time was that I started to laugh. It sounds like nothing else from this world and you just can´t help looking like a big fool with a big grin on your face while listening to it. When I played this record to a friend he started to dance in my apartment in a way that would have made Michael Flately envious, and by judging from his smile you could easily have thought that he had swallowed a whole pharmacy even though he doesn´t use any drugs. Some might think that this is just extremely slow crappy minimal stuff but everyone I have played this record to has enjoyed it, and this is the perfect music for deep forest parties in the summer. Three out of four tracks are amazing in my humble opinion. If I have to say anything negative about this record it has to be about the embarrassingly poor soundquality. One of the tracks sounds like it´s been recorded on a walkman with a microphone in an empty garage, and another is recorded so low that the background noise sounds like a TV with "antwar" on it. This is one of my favorite records of all time so it just has to be 10/10, but remember... this is the sort of music that probably will give you permanent braindamage so be aware!!!

Guest Mescalinium Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 I don't quite know about this one. I really dig most of the new Iboga stuff (Zerotonine, Reefer Decree), but I listened to this in the store and it was just way too minimal for me. Out of four songs, none of them really go anywhere. I might have to give it another listen, but my first impression was pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dandoo Forest Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 its OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dj_auryn Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 Dark & freakish nighttime track; indeed very hard to mix, so perhaps best kept for home listening. I don't really hear the sound quality being poor, IMHO it just sound a bit mangled because it's supposed to be scary. these guys are obviously talented, so I hope they keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akindo Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 IF this is the price of a normal 12", then it is very good value for money! Four tracks for the price of the normal 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raparperi Posted May 19, 2001 Share Posted May 19, 2001 I have loved former Lurifax's tracks and I expected a lot for this. And it is great! Buy if you like some alternative stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plasmagoria[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 This EP is like reeeaaally good! As you said, when you listen to this album you just smile, it has so many "tricks" that are so great. I think its a 9/10, it deserve a 10 but the first tracks ain't that good. Ghede Nimbo and Cryonics are really good. This EP is on the cutting edge of todays music, I think the future music will sound like this.

Guest Nois Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 This EP is completely unreal! The most wicked stuff i've ever played. And lurifax has recently released another freakish track on a new cd compil by nano beat, called lush. This guy is a psychokiller. Get it while You can!

Guest Mescalinium Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Yes, I've definately come around on this guy since hearing his track "Polaroid" on the Set:01 compilation. Dark and atmospheric is really the only way to describe it. Please Iboga, give us more Lurifax! (And more Audiopile too!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verb Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This EP is fucking wonderful. loved it for many years. just found it again. they should release this as .wav on beatport. and the wierd dynamics don't bother me one bit. very refreshing with all the overlimited crap that comes out these days (not specifcally talkin about iboga, don't really listen to trance anymore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
