Guest Deku81 Posted March 14, 2000 Share Posted March 14, 2000 V/A - Resonance Mood Artist: Various Title: Resonance Mood Label: Matsuri Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 09'44" Sandman : Target Eye 02. 07'39" Deflo : Tio Mate 03. 08'55" Slug : Slugfest 04. 07'22" Chakra And Nada : Intensive Psychedelic Care 05. 08'12" GMS : Jaws 06. 07'53" Lunar Asylum : Shadow Five 07. 10'57" Nervasystem : Decoder 08. 07'09" Manmademan : Athalon 09. 06'22" Anti Matter : Pulse 2 Review: Oh my god this is a crazy compilation of tracks... Matsuri are totally wicked =).. Sandman rocks as usual, here with a nice tune that's got the same sound as his first album did. Upcoming tracks are brutal. I specially like Slug, GMS and Manmademan tracks. This compilation is really intense but not very fast. The highlight is (like most albums) in the middlewith the GMS track, that song is absolutely amazing.. it just makes me wanna dance!!!!!! ) You could actually by this compilation just for that track alone!!! Last track is ambient stuff. Too bad cause a compilation like this should have the same kind of tracks all the way I think. Because of this I give this compilation a 8/10 instead of 9/10.. but it's anexcellent compilation that you should get your hands on!!!! (btw don't get me wrong, that last track is good for being ambient! it's just that I don't think it fits in on this kind of compilation).

Guest Ktaadn Posted May 2, 2000 Share Posted May 2, 2000 Hard-charging from the get-go, this album is as gorgeous as it is relentless. There's more to this one than just pounding bass and arppeggiated acid riffs. Complex percussion, swirly synths and those gone-but-not-forgotten melodies dominate here. Highlights for me are Sandman, Slug (Tsuyoshi rides again!) and a stormer from Manmademan. Arguably, 1997 was psy-trance's finest hour. Let this CD serve as the time capsule, then. Better grab this one if you can. We may never see those days again...8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dead74 Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 This is one of my favorite compilations from matsuri. It's just so quality, I love it! Alright so the Sandman track is a good opening track for the comp, but the rest just gets better and better. There are just some super-quality tracks on here. Deflo track is really good. Slug(w/Tsuyoshi) track is just sooo good. It features Tsuyoshi's signature goa-break beats that just blows you away. The highlight is obviously GMS! "Jaws" is such a sick sick track. This one ranks equally high as "Lumberjack" on my list. I really like the Manmademan track also. If you like Matsuri then this is an essential buy. Even if you aren't, you'd be able to appreciate their unique sound! a solid 8/10 for the compilation and much respect to Tsuyoshi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomble Posted March 12, 2001 Share Posted March 12, 2001 I'm with Ktaadn here - it may be to do with synchronicities in my life, but '97 was a highlight year musically, and this is the souvenir I care to cherish the most. Outstandingly psychedelic in that after a few minutes I can almost feel my mind doing acrobatics. Intense, out there and excellently produced. A worthy reminder of a different direction that psychedelia was taking that summer. bomble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronSun Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I discovered this one at a japanese mate's house a couple of months ago. Finally got around buying it for myself, and my god, I love this compilation! Intense, jaw-dropping psychedelia in that nice mechanic, pounding matsuri style of that period. Fantastic to see what crazy products the goa-to-psytrance era came up with (even though 97 is still early, this release sounds a lot more mechanical than organic to me). Favourite tracks are Tio Mate by Deflo and Slugfest by SLUG. Tsuyoshi really ruled those days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickster Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Deflo - Tio Mate blitzes you. Especially back then, it was like " what the f**k just happened??" Then Slug Fest sweeps in and beats the living shit outta ya!! Sheer funkadellic power! Both those tracks are something else. Deflo had tracks on Feel the noise (Nick Taylor mix cd) and on Let It Rip if i'm not mistaken and they were equally bad-ass. Gotta give Manmademan - Athalon props too!! Listen to it and your ass will be shakin' like a Brazilian carnival Queen! Amazing comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djuna Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm listening to Slugfest at the moment, and damn, what a compilation. All killers no fillers! This is simply, in the pure sense of the word, outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
