The Delta - Send In Send Back / A+B / Def By Delta (Part 2)

 

Posted Image

 

Artist: The Delta

Title: Send In Send Back / A+B / Def By Delta (Part 2)

Label: D-Drum

Date: 2001

 

Track listing:

 

01. Send In Send Back

02. A+B

03. Def By Delta (Part 2)

 

Review:

 

Instead of the usual vinyl-release with some tracks missing or a sampler

with just a couple of the tracks the Delta (or the label?) chose to

release three ep´s with all tracks except the intro and the last

downbeat-track "Basic Beat". Some people think this is for profit

reasons only but I really like this way to release an album on vinyl. I

hate those heavy triple vinyl-releases. I bought all three ep´s and the

CD too! The album "Send In...Send Back" is after all the second best

album of 2001, (Haltya "Forest Flavour" is the best!) so I wanted all

the vinyl-releases and the cd. This ep contains the title track, "Send

In...Send Back" (10/10) and that is a massive techno-stomper with a very

deep distorted bassline that creates the illusion that your speakers are

broken. If they aren´t allready they might be broken after you´ve played

this track ;-) That extremely powerful repetive bassline combined with

plenty of doomsday-atmospherics forces you to gasp for breath. Every bar

must be like torture for anyone who don´t like it when the bassline uses

your ribs as an xylophone. "A + B" (4/10) sounds like Stockholm-techno,

a looping beat and not very much more. Really boring stuff and the least

good track of this ep (and the least good track from the album too!).

"Def By Delta (Part2)" (10/10) is rather slow but don´t be fooled, this

track is as massive as the "Send In...Send back" track but it uses the

atmospherics even better. Sweet sad strings and echoing synthlines

combined with the concretebreaking bassline the Delta is famous for.

Before this album by the Delta was released I had only given out one

(10/10) remark this year. It won´t stop with this review. I´ve got two

more ep´s to review and atleast a couple of the tracks from those ep´s

requires me to give out a 10 out of 10 remark.

I don't have these singles but I do have the album, and although it may not be

very "psychedelic" the prime roots of trance are still here. I find these

tracks, especially 'Def by Delta (Part 2)' to be some of the most powerful and

emotional music I have ever heard. Die-hard Goa purists will not agree,

because some major shifts have occurred here, but I'm a fan of progress and

ingenuity (as well as the "old school") and rarely have I felt as overpowered

by music as I have listening to the CD that these tracks are from. And I know

what some of you are thinking, but neither "techno" nor "Detroit" were ever

able to accomplish this power. This, my friends, is new. Take it or leave it.

If you don't feel it, get yourself some better listening gear because the

first half second of this music probably broke your old stuff. Ha ha haaaaaaa.

less original than the first delta album...

but very interesting...techno sounds in trance is a good way to see the future

in this music..."d.drum" takes a good way to put psychedelic trance in the

history of electronic music...better than "full on"

psy-trance!(gms,talamasca,3d vision style): so keep your touch Marcus! 9/10

The Delta is a name that allways guaranty a great party or a great time wile

you listent to the album.

I personally like this EP, but consider the Scizoefective album a bomb!!!!

Def by The Delta P2 is a great track and also a litle taste of what we can

expect for this new year.

To improove techno sounds in psychedelic music is nothing new, just look at

Paps, Spirallianz/MidiMiliz. They have a f*cking great hard beat and some

techno sounds that will blow you out.

I think Psy-Techno (if such exist) will be the future of music

Absolutely astonishing!!!

If this is the way psytrance will progress, people will continue loving it, for

shure!! Nice minimalistic and close to detroit beats with soulful basslines so

funky your body starts shivering...

 

10/10
