Guest Acidhive Posted December 1, 2001 Posted December 1, 2001 Luminus Vs Perplex - Plexus Artist: Luminus Vs Perplex Title: Plexus Label: Trancelucent Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 07'14" Final Cut 02. 07'07" Crystals 03. 08'13" Solar Plexus 04. 07'53" Buzz n Fuzz 05. 07'06" Dustadly Danny 06. 08'16" The Other Vision 07. 08'14" Supreme Beings 08. 07'21" Midday Breeze Review: Well, the artist names say it all. Luminus vs. Perplex. So this is a blend between their two styles. The melodies from Luminus, the sharper edge in some tracks from Perplex. I prefer to think of this album as subtle and find it better than their separate work. These guys should work together more often, this just.. clicks. It's fairly standard stuff, really new style Israeli. Being both psychedelic, funky and danceable. These tracks just flow on by, all leaving some sort of impression. Like most Israeli nowadays this is chock-full of samples from popular movies. Terminator 2, The Matrix (of course). At one point in the cd Old School Goa lovers suddenly think: Damn, that tune they're playing now.. I know that. And you'd be correct. It seems they liked Mandra Gora's Wicked Warp track so much they decided to make a Remix. Hehehe.. It sounds good though, so I won't complain too much. Overall, this cd is a pretty good listen if you like you Psytrance to be standard, melodic, subtle and funky. I do, so this gets 8,5/10 from me... Quote

Surprised me... 8,8/10. THIS IS REAL MUSIC!! FUCK THE NOISE!! Quote
Guest sakhtallah Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 nice album...there are some good tracks but it's a bit deceiving because they use the same sounds in most of the tracks.i think they could make it better.good release for those who like luminus Quote
Guest miki[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted December 9, 2001 Posted December 9, 2001 Cool stuff. Good punchy beats, sometimes sounds like it's about to go minimal, but picks up just in time. Definitely not a full-on party CD, but great to listen to on the drive back home, or at the afterparty when people are just starting to come in and settle down. Very morning sounds, keeps you grooving. Not one to kill for, but a great buy if you get a good enuff deal. Quote
Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 I agree with Acidhive, the tracks are better when luminus and perplex work together. favourites ones:1,3,7,8. rating:6/10 Quote
Guest fc[at]netc[dot]pt Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 In my opinion, this album is not so good like the other 2 albuns from Luminus, but still remains a very good sound. Maybe Perplex influences makes the sound slower, but like sakhtallah says, "it´s very morning sounds, keeps you grooving. Not one to kill for, but a great buy if you get a good enuff deal". rating: 8.5 / 10 Hugs for everyone and Peace to the world. Quote
