mars Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Bio-Tonic - Play It Artist: Bio-Tonic Title: Play It Label: TIP World Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 7'34" Play It 02. 7'22" Black Energy Review: Play It begins with philosophic french samples, and the music itself starts : big bassline, small noises on both sides, drums...and big surprise, a woman fills your ears with very spiritual voices and is joined by small twisted sounds ! And now it's like some powerful psy harmonies are going in every direction, one after the other. Here, everyone dances ! There are cool breaks, and enough variations. Impossible to be bored ! At 4:00 you can breathe a little but the kick is still crushing the place...strong strings, silly french sample, pause, and...the harmonics restart with the little tweaked sounds and the voices all at the same time, blowing everyine away ! This is true full-on ! Hum...if you refrain from playing it again and again, you can put the vinyl updide down and listen to Black Energy : This one is more typically Bio-Tonic-like. The begining kicks hard, and is filled with samples. 1:28 twisted break and the music restarts with more hi-hats...another break with a french sample ("certainties make men blind and insane"), and suddenly there are some GMS-like notes, then faster, even more GMS-like , but on the Bio-Tonic rhythmic, it's something totally new ! Once again the track is varied enough as there is a change in the samples or a break every 30"...after some tweaked ping-pong samples the distorsions come back alltogether to acheive you ! No doubt this is one of the best EPs this year, maybe the best. I don't give 9/10 often, this one has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raider Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Can't wait to hear more from this amazingly trio. Having taking the sharp style from Minimal/Progressive and added the spirits from the Goa-style, gives these two tracks an unique touch. Both tracks are very mix-able and can either be mixed into some nice old skool Goa, some Psychedelic Full-On, or even some modern Progressive. Hope to see an album featuring many tracks with this new fresh sound. Grade: 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
