Guest psytrancer Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 V/A - Psychedelic Electronica 2 Artist: Various Title: Psychedelic Electronica 2 Label: Psychic Deli Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 09'02" Double Dragon : Fluffy Purple Thing 02. 09'06" Orion : The 8th 03. 08'50" Vibrasphere : Crystal 04. 07'26" Lumen : What It Is 05. 08'16" Shakta : Tritone Frentzy 06. 08'57" Bamboo Forest : Sans Titre 07. 08'28" Tromesa : Yohimbe 08. 08'45" ECT : Sqwark 09. 08'27" Filthy Beasts : Degenerate Review: A satisfyingly psychedelic, happy compilation. Plenty of twisted, interesting sounds throughout, some very danceable beats, a sprinkling of intelligent melodies and a real party flavour throughout. Difficult to pull out any particular highlights, most of the tracks here are maybe 7's to 8's, but the Bamboo Forest track is really EXCELLENT, one of those tracks that makes the hairs on your neck stand up. There are so many changes within one track, all of them compeling. I also love the Orion track, it just sort of noodles along for about 5 minutes with a bit of wiggawiggawigga and some pseudo-industrial psysounds and this hint of the panoramic soundscape to come. And when eventually the factories and the strange insects disappear you realise you have been on the slow part of a trains journey through the outskirts of a massive alien city. And now suddenly you are rushing through the most sensational countryside at boggling speeds, gasping in wonder - how did that happen? Very nice crescendo. Possibly the greatest thing about this comp is that there are no weak tracks on it, which is pretty rare. Incidentally, this was the first thing I listened to when I got my portable MD, and it was a S P E C T A C U L A R introduction. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ktaadn Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Start to finish, this compilation oozes quality. It's a nice mixture of all kinds of current psy-trance. Some Scando sounds, some more melodic sounds -- a nice variety indeed. For the most part, this one chugs along at breakneck speeds and the ride is a thriller. Highlights for me are "Fluffy Purple Thing" (my alltime favorite track) and "Sqwark," but I agree there isn't a bad track to be found. This is a fine release from Psychic Deli that will get inside your mind and body. I always keep this CD close at hand...8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest manicmagicmmushroomman[at]hotmai Posted February 2, 2001 Share Posted February 2, 2001 What a great comp!!! I too love the Orion track, the end is just AMAZING. The beggining of the Tromesa track is like a revelation! I simple cannot believe how good that (only just kiddies) melody is. However I think that they save the best for last with the filthy beast track - now that is one PUMPING track, and pretty much downright evil to boot. Again no real weak tracks, although the first three and last two tracks seem to me to be the best on overall listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Hongo Loco Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 This compilation is simply my all time favourite.. It's mindblowing and I don't really feel that I can add something new about it because the fellows above have already written some great reviews. In my opinion there are no weak track at all on this comp. They are all pure killers!! Daaaaaamn I get orgasm after orgasm!!! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
