Guest PsychedelicGav Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 V/A - Psychedelic Voodoo Artist: Various Title: Psychedelic Voodoo Label: Sub Terranean Date: 1997 Track listing: CD 1 01. 09'59" Christof And DJ Maël : KLM (Pre-Mix) 02. 08'10" Nervasystem : Stardust 03. 06'43" GMS : Jaws 04. 08'00" GMS : Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep 05. 07'47" Process : Cryogen 06. 06'21" Anti-Matter : Pulse 2 07. 09'06" Koxbox : Too Pure 08. 07'07" The Deviant : Dawn On Epsilon 09. 08'35" Syb Unity Nettwerk : Space Puppy CD 2 01. 08'29" Elysium Vs Worm : Yemaya 02. 08'22" Ominus : Toxic Brainwaves 03. 07'02" Miranda : Subtropical Forest 04. 06'20" Psychlopedia : Sleepless Nation 05. 06'25" Crop Circles : Different Species 06. 07'40" Encens : Shapeshifter 07. 08'09" Chakra : Spider 08. 07'16" Conspiracy Theory : Project Oblivion 09. 06'30" Process : Internal Horizon 10. 05'41" Manmademan : Angel Hair Review: I bought this album with all intentions of being astounded by it - looking at the track listing - and yet something is far wrong here. It?s continuously mixed, which in itself doesn?t necessarily make it bad, but there is just way too much boring stuff here. This album takes me nowhere - it leaves me cold. I like a lot of the bands here, but this compilation simply bores me. Even the opening track is crap - I think so anyway, with it?s stupid ?Pulp Fiction? samples. A compilation to avoid!!!!!

DeathPosture Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 I hafta agree.... This is simple, AP-like music and there is too little variation in the tracks... Though there are a few good tracks, this comp. is simply TOO cheesy... 4/10 Bom shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ecstasymfl[at]bol.com[dot]br Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 I like this compilation, the first cd is faster than the second one, it seems to be played at the witch hour. There are good musics on it, however i think it's too acidic, but great melodies and some beaultiful sounds save'em all. The second cd is more "relaxing" (?), the first music "Elysium vs Worm: Yemaya" is, with no doubts, the best here in this compilation, the ethno voices and sounds are superb, it was not surprise because it's Elysium, and i like Elysium so much for this ethnic they use to sample in their musics. The rest of the musics from 2nd cd are danceble and good. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Petz[at]fourrooms[dot]de Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 I bought this album more than 3 years ago and after first listening iwas addicted to this CD. I have many great rememberings of inspiration, when i listen to it now. But someone stole it last weeek! Is there anyone who can sell me his album (orig. or copy)? Visit our homepage!!!Bam Bam Bhole!

Guest Vidistindjian[at]aol[dot]com Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 I haven't this compil but i'd like to say 2 things: -I look for a track which is in this compil... Which begin with a melody and whose rythm slows down (at about 6mn) and then speeds up ..... -Otherwise I'm surprised that only one guy has mentionrd Elysium's track. Yet it's so nice with etno-atmosphere... It's great... And this track i talked at the begining of the review simply kick ass!! I want his name!

Guest Psycobalt Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Yes, particularly "Spider" and "Yamaya" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quetzalgoatl Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 I only know Different Species by Crop Circles. Although it's a rather slow track, it becomes superb when the bassline kicks in. A must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tchankov I.V. Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Vidistindjian, you wanted the name of your Precious? - Well, here it goes: Syb Unity Nettwerk Experience "Space Puppy" by Kris Kylven (UX). Great track, indeed! Also Koxbox "Too Pure" & GMS "Jaws" are two other my favourites on CD1 (but well known already). CD1 starts off in somewhat harsh mood, but normalizes after the 2nd track ends. Then there's the flow of decent and abovementioned great tracks. I dig it. But this is not the case with CD2 - too many only decent tracks, worse that the early Koyote dominates here. Yet there have still got a couple of tracks that I'm fond of: Elysium & Crop Circle. All others I consider being "wrong" or misplaced. Well, decent compilation, neither great nor weak. But its title "Psychedelic Voodoo" is not well-grounded, but who cares? 7,5/10 for CD1 and only 6/10 for CD2. Tchankov I.V.

DeathPosture Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I want to update my rating on this one... When I reviewed this one I was really into progressive, but now I'm turning more and more back to basics, and there sure are some classic stompers on this one... 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeletonMan Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The sea of psytrance compilations so flooded it is, it's always nice when you stumble over the really good compilations. And you've stumbled over one of the really good compilations. PV comes mixed which is always a tricky business. I like good mixes, but I also often want the entire build-up. And mixed cds can be mixed so crappy. Luckily, PV is mixed flawlessly and with a bulletproof feeling for the right build-up. PV quite simply OOZES the Goa sound from start to finish. But let me mention a couple of the killers here. First one is the opener, Christof & DJ Mael's KLM. The track itself is great but with the Pulp Fiction sample on top, practically, makes for a classic. GMS gives us Jaws and Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? from their mayheem days. Enter the definition of Goa trance. Trippy, danceable, and intense. Obviously, Koxbox' shines through with their Too Pure. No one has ever quite matched the sound of Koxbox – well, Saikodpod, perhaps, aside. Like GMS, in the early days these guys could do no wrong. But the real reason for me to be so infatuated with PV is cd 2. Track 1 to 5 should be in every psy dj's collection - and recollection. Goa doesn't get any better than this. No dubt, individually, the tracks deliver but in the mix they’re untouchable. When Crop Circle ends with Different Species you'd have to be dead not to dance. Or on tranquilers. Or both. As far as I know Different Species is only available in cd format on this compilation and easily makes the compilation worth the purchase alone. To think what they could have made of an album? It's hard to follow CC but Conspiracy Theory does an admirable job with Project Oblivion. This focus on a more dark sound, still, the feel-good Goa vibe never escapes. Bass to keep you dancing, trippy FX for the mind, and layers and melodies to create a story. I always liked Goa the most when it was made with the dancefloor in mind - and the shere speed of it making it tripable. Manmademan closes with Angel Hair. A relaxed track to end the journey? Guess again. While the smooth sound is bound to please the female audience, this is also the very proof that there IS a line between cheesy and happy with edge. PV couldn't have ended any better.
