Review:

 

This is an outstanding album. Squaremeat did something really weird, twisted

and crazy following the best finnish traditions=))) A lots of funky uplifting

vibes, all the tracks (expt. the last one)are very good to dance. "True

Reality" is a kind of ambient/dub oriented track and I found it quite deep and

psychedelic. The best one is 2nd "Still Alive" with amazing voice and guitar

samples. I can give it 9/10

This review will be in swedish... sorry! But this is a very old review I made

for a swedish mailing list. I thought none of the above reviewers really

understood how great this album really is.

 

Det är något särskilt med finnar! Dom är lite udda och knepiga kanske men

definitivt beredda att gå sin egen väg. Usch vad jag generaliserar men om man

tänker på musiksidan så har vi ju dels Skrikarna (kan inte

det finska namnet och min finska tjej är inte hemma :-D) som är en manskör som

skriker sina låtar, och så har vi Apocalyptica som spelar dödsmetall på Cello

hårdare än banden som använder gitarr. Ni som hört finska technolabeln SÄHKÖ

vet att det görs vansinnig elektronisk musik i Finland också. Av en slump

råkade jag höra några ra-filer med Squaremeat och jag blev verkligen tagen på

sängen. Det låter som ingenting annat jag hört men om

man måste kategorisera det så är det psytrance. Dom har en helt egen stil och

jag har faktiskt aldrig hört något liknande. Ena sekunden låter det som ett

samarbete mellan Hux Flux och James Brown för att i nästa bli skevare än vad

Hux Flux någonsin varit. Denna skruvtrance är fantastiskt gungig, och även om

tempot inte är så vansinnigt högt som det låter blir man lurad av att det är

sådant fantastiskt driv i musiken. Jag sitter just nu som en jävla

fågelholk!!! Det är makalöst vilket ös... gnnnrgh... och så besinningslöst

skadat. Utan att överdriva det allra minsta kan jag säga att detta är den

absolut bästa skruvtranceplatta jag hört. Jag är ledsen Hux Flux men det här

bandet lirar i en helt annan division :´-( Låten "Batman vs. Puzzler" är något

i hästväg och nu måste jag nog ta en liten paus i

skrivandet för att späka min influensakropp på vardagsrumsgolvet :-D

 

Tillbaka! Det är inte ofta man hittar en skiva som är bra rätt igenom, men den

här godsaken är välsmakande i varje tugga. En helt fantastisk skiva enligt

mig, och omslaget är roligt också med sin uppenbara likhet med en soppåse.

I omslaget står (bland annat):

Squaremeat Wavesoup is made of fresh kicks and organically cultivated

basslines. It´s unique flavour comes from 10-year old hihats, percussions and

sweet´n´sour snares that have been mixed in the right

proportion and let to simmer gently. Låt er nu inte luras att tro att det låter

gammalt på något sätt för det

gör det verkligen inte. Detta är en skiva som jag kommer spela tills jag dör.

En solklar tia i betyg alltså, 10/10

To get eight tracks and one hidden is too little value for money and the music

sounds like beginners making it with cheap software. There is no professional

sound to

be found here, amateurs at home playing with samples.

Most of the sounds are indeed ripped from others, nothing creative here !!

Steer clear !

This is one of the most amazing trance albums ever released. If you don't know

the sound then it'll blow your mind away. Rates right up there with Logic Bomb

- Headware and Dark Soho - Sun Spot (Yes I know it's not the same trance, but

I'm talking pure Distilled Brilliance, not type of music). My favourite track

is Ultra Far. The way it evolves and flips just blows me away. So go out and

get it (if I could afford it I'd buy another one). And also. If any of the

guys from Squaremeat ever read this, Please come play in South Africa, Cape

Town! I love Intelligent Trance and it doesn't get more intelligent than this,

twisted sounds and phat beats kick up a storm with the added advantage that

its EXTREMELY stompable!

Squaremeat rules!! And to think I once was the one that said they were really

shitty producers! Forget I said that, this is pure genius! Really, this hits

it just right! Wird, funky, psychedelic, it has all the ingredients you need

for a real mindmelter!! The great use of voice samples and the effects they've

thrown over them, this just spells out: Masters to me!! I'd give this 9/10 and

if you can get a hold of a copy, do so immediately!! You'll never regret it!!
