Review:

 

as you can see lots of tracks on this compilation are already released on EP

and CD ... only track #3 is unreleased . but, the main importance of this

release is that the mastering is very good comparing with the very first Iboga

releases. all the tracks are pretty tribal and hypnotising with mind expanding

grooves.

#1 is pretty slow but very nice and hypnotising #2 has a very nice groove , one

of my favourites #3 is a very strange track, very wicked sounds put together

for another hypnotising track with a little melody in the end , nice #4 beat

bizarre, what else can i say ... this is a psychedelic masterpiece , the

groove is just superb and the track has a warm atmosphere #5 somthing is

missing in here , but that's maybe because it's released on the first Iboga EP

... still a great track but not realy my cup of tea... the melody is OK but

the structures are a bit lame, maybe it works on the dancefloor but it doesn't

in my cd player #6 WOW ... amazing track be Zerotonine , very powerfull and

wicked... the best track IMO , the sample used is very funny #7 pretty good by

Audiopile... very psychedelic and lovely groove , nice sounds ...better then

the first track #8 great ... ofcourse , this on is also my favourite on

Tabernanthe but this time the sound quality is much better ..!

. #9 worst track on this compilation IMO... i dunno but the sounds don't fit

together ...

i must say i was very suprised by this releases . maybe this one isn't for

every progressive lover but i sure can tell you this one is worth buying for

the groove psychedelic rating : 8/10

Ah man... I had a review ready of this, but Setusko beat me to it.... Anyway,

here's my review: Best Of Iboga Volume One here? Danish label Iboga have

selected their best EPs and made them available on CD for the first time + One

track from their first CD compil Tabernathe + one previously unreleased track

from Lurifax. It should come as no surprise to anyone, that this is minimal

trance, but very good minimal trance. #1 Ahh? Insane track from audiophiles

Audiopile? Very well selected track-name.;o) ... #2 is Seb & Marcus from Son

Kite. Very nice track her - it has the amazing Otherwise-feel that I love so

much. (check my review here: http://www.psynews.org/compils/otherw.htm). #3 is

an unreleased track from Lurifax? It?s been floating around the Danish

dat-mafia for a while, so there?s a good chance you?ve heard this one at a

party. Not my fav?e on this CD. #4 is Beat Bizarre, and this is a typical

BB-track in the Lewd-style we all know. #5 ?this was the 1st track that Iboga

ever released! It has this drive which I really like?Very nice indeed? #6 from

the first, to this, the latest Iboga release. I like the first better, but

this gets better as the track progresses. I quite like the female voice in

this track. Very powerful track. #7 Very? ehh?. Occult bass-line in this

track?Good track, but compared to some of the other tracks one this CD one of

the weakest here?. #8 ? Right, anyone who owns Iboga?s very first CD

Tabernathe knows this track? The only track on this CD with melodies in it?It

still sounds fresh? Ahhh? I like this one! #9 ? Never heard this one before,

but DAMN this is a noisy track? I?m sure this will KILL on the dancefloors?

Aaarhg, what an insane sound? This must be the psy-equivalent to Danish crap

euro-dance clown Dj Aligator?s ?Whistle Song?? This track is only 900 times

better! All in all, this is a very, very nice minimal compilation. Those who

know me, know that I have to be REALLY impressed to enjoy progressive minimal,

but this suits my ears, and everyone who digs the unique sound of Iboga should

own this! Very nice! 8.5/10

[Guest kadafi]

as it says above, this is a good compilation... though i think most tracks are

just good, not much more... Only 1 here i'm néver going to forget: Oryx...

véry nice! I also like Trimatic (xcept for that voicesample). and it's hard to

resist Beat Bizarre's driving feeling... can't stop moving along the

hypnotising kickbass. 7/10

[seraph]

A Stunning Progressive trance compilation...It is very tribal, experimental and

groovy...It is very good progress in sounds and mastering...I like all songs

but the best one are : THE DRILL ( ! ), POLAROID ( !! ), 506 ( ! ), OCCULT

PIZZA, ONCE UPON A TIME ( ! ), ECO...9/10

[Guest MG]

Just started listening to this type of stuff again. This CD has since been in

regular rotation for the last couple of days. Polaroid is the best track on

this CD, followed by Beat Bizarre, who do their magic better here than on

their album, same with Reefer Decree (well, maybe not better, but certainly up

to par) follow'd by the Drill by Audiopile is also a great track as is Oryx's

track, yet it is in awkward contrast to the vibe of the compilation, but it

still needs to be heard! I would've liked a Phoney Orphants track too, maybe a

remix of Shrooms and Fishfingers. I rate it 8/10
