Mike D Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 V/A - Singularity 2002 Artist: Various Title: Singularity 2002 Label: Flying Rhino Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 10'02" Son Kite : Preflation 02. 10'05" Kinetico : Fly 03. 09'22" Bumbling Loons : Sci-Fidelity 04. 07'25" Great Leap Forward : Old Money 05. 10'47" 4D : Submerge 06. 07'47" Charasmatix : Ruty HD 07. 08'10" Killer Hertz : Cosmic Hot Water 08. 07'46" Wizzy Noise : Velocity 09. 07'17" Manmademan : Lockout Review: 1. Son Kite comes out with a very nice progressive track. I find this to be a little bit more soft and sexy, very much within the Flying Rhino style. The anologue sounds flow in an out to a rythmic beat and bassline. 2. Memories of the old acid techno days. This song is a nice slow tribal number, with lots of acid riffs flowing and peaking. It has a simple yet effective piano type melody, but the ladie's vocals are a little annoying, and a bit to housey for me. 3. This track sarts with a nice sample and a soft beat, with ambient sound floating around. As the track flows on, it tends to be a bitmore old school, anologue efetcs, bringing back memories of the first three FLight compilations and the first Re:Evoluton compilation, a very good track. 4. A very psychadelic track, lots of sample and a nice midrange 4/4 beat. This track again is quite old school in style, with a afew modern touches. 5. After a strange intro, this songs bounces along at a quick pace, it is a very much fun song, with weird psychadelic efffects, like voices, before turning into a twisted night time master piece. 6. This song has nice tribal drums, liquids effetcs and a fast beat, probably my least favourite on the compilation, it just doesn't seem to go anywhere and is quite messy. 7. A slightly slower beat, yet turning into a fun filled stomper. Distorted effects flying all around, thisis a lovely track from the acclaimed newcomers, Killa Hertz. 8. My favourite track on the compilation. This track is alittle more like the older Wizzy Noise. Fast bass kick, wicked basslines, evil efects and strange samples. The compilation is worth it for this alone!! 9. A slow groovy track to end it all, nice and smooth, god vibes to end a great compilation. I peronally see this as a big comeback for the Flying Rhino team, a return to what made them in the first place, bring onthe wicked beats from the Horned Flying Ones!! 9.4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Digital Mafia Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I think the style is a bit overused. The scene has already been full of decent tracks like this for over 3 years. This release is deffinately not an essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I wont say this is a bad comp but I will say that the scene has been full of this kind of stuff for over three years. Maybe its time for a bit of novelty. Deffinately not an essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fed up with the whining... Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Flying Rhino... Whining Dino... Same Same, but NOT different... This comp truly suxx BigTime, or wait... Maybe there is one good track here somewhere... Let´s see... Yes , maybe just one... Yup, there it is! It´s the Wizzy Niose track. Apart from this single track, this comp is not worth listening to or buying, and it sounds just like th rest of the crap that comes from Flying Rhino´s office these days... 1/10... And this lonely 1 is just for the Wizzy track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest a bumbling loon Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I totally disagree with the above reviews... Flying Rhino Forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 First of all I have to say that it's always inspiring to read Mike D's reviews, cause to me he's a guy who really does his job thoroughly. As for the compilation? Well I've been listening this over and over. I think that Rhino is doing fairly good job. Personally I have always liked J. Monroe and M. Katz aka GLF is one of my favourites nowdays. I did a review for local paper and gave 4/6. Highlight is of course Wizzy's Velocity. This is a kind of spacey rocker. Send me somewhere out there when I was listening this when falling in sleep. And ManMadeMan's Lookout is nice tribal kicker. Keep up the good work Rhino!

Guest O-live Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Agree with Cosmo... ManMadeMan made a nice track... morning and tribal ; 4D, Charismatix and Wizzy for sure are giving us good job but that's clear this comp is far behind records like Nightvision or Live in Germany... I hope re-evolution 4 will be better ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Anonymous] Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 rather cheap compilation...most tracks are old and have been released in the past...best track by Wizzy Noise "Velocity" which is taken from their latest album Cyclotron....

jaimz Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Collection of older Flying Rhino tunes. Only Velocity and Fly have been umixed on CD before. All the tracks are pretty nice - mostly dark and psychedelic builders - progressive theories. Certainly worth a listen. I personally find a lot of these tracks very psychedelic - if you listen to them you'll find they really suck you in. I'll give it about a 7 / 10.

Guest the coyote Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 i think i prefer this kind of compilation with various track than the commercial stuff "g.m.s,alien-project,tip....etc..." and i'm not sure wizzy noise track is the best of the compilation...it's simply the most commercial! so i prefer a compilation with MUSIC inside than with BUSINESS!

Guest Mr. Vain Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 the best track is from killer hertz!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Defbydelta... Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 GOoD Shit we got here! this is not a god comp for psychedelic drugs, or mayby it is..!? I'll give this golden cd a 8/10 and thats recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DjJekyl Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I bought that comp just to see what the hack it is...Everybody kept on saying different things about it, so i jut gave it a try... Flying Rhino WAS one of the best and can still be... Worthy compil.. Variation..progress and all that..old trax for the most.. but no harm one.. Give it a chance..BTW...Nr 5 could prob be considered as the Dream Theater of PSY...Really crazy song..like Simon Posford on tones of LSD..

abasio Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 A really good comp in my opinion! When I first got it I was initially dissapointed as the 1st 2 sinularity comps were extraordinarily good. But after the years have passed & I've listened to this again I have come to realise that there is some damn good music in this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
