Seeing Dienzephalon on the tracklist wasn't a good news for me coz till this track i wasn't fond of their work. I have to say that Elektroakupuntur is a honest track , the best i 've heard from this group but it's not a brainblasting one. In fact, it sounds a bit more trancey even if it still contains these habitual strange sounds from this group. Reduction is a great tune with a metallic sound delivering the melodie and sometime little percu appears ,it oscillates between groovy techno and happy trance. Next one is from Marco menichelli (aka Sun Project, Slap, Ouija), and it's like Slap without a good ryhtmic and inspiration, so it becomes quickly boring. I advice you to skip Ballroom, i still don't understand why DJ Alex continue to fill his comp with this bullshit, there's nothing in this track and a guy sing a little. Carbon kick is one of these tracks which have a slow construction and where sounds arrives one after another, not a revolution but efficace with a little melody which sounds asian coz comes from a kind of vibraphone. Short circuit is a soft jerky melocic track, very nice. Skydiver is an emotionnal trance register which could be something like the mystery or the suspense. It would be a good music for a thriller. Quarz give a mecanic atmosphere at his track with a sample of an old machine. cd1 ends well with Gabriel Le Mar , with a good track that don't appears on his album project named Dub Connected. As i said before,Cd2 is minimal, and i'm not very much in it. But I can tell that from Tegma till Intact Instinct ,the tracks are well ordonanced and contributes to help me to appreciate more all these stuffs; with a particuplar mention to P-Woland with the tribal Slap My! and D-Foundation aka Detlef Funder(4 carry nuts) with a dark melodic psychedelic track.I skip motorman.Then arrive cold and minimal with Ode to Arcadia.Next is a dado remix of POP, i skip it and prefer the original.Cd2 ens with Space.COM an honest trach of Planet BEN in a robotic atmosphere. So i give 7,5 on 10 to the complitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPosture Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 IMO this has one problem: For a comp. named PULSE is just needs more... ehhrm... Pulse!... For me this previously so great series is dead... The same goes for Tantrance, Goahead & unfortunately also Distance To Goa... It's sad, but they just don't do it for me anymore... Hopefully someday they'll rise again! 3/10 for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
