Review:

 

The long awaited ( almost 1 year! ) is here. What can i say??? 7 Etnica tracks

;))) sweetie! Casa Blanca and True Protoss Warrior are wonderful, not that $%^

which is called Andromeda EP. The Hallucinogen track is not new as well as

X-Dream, but both are beautiful. Etnica's chill tracks are interesting, and

CD2 has my ovely Lisboa from Cydonia...it reminds me to the last Boom ;) I

think every psytrancer have to have this comp.

The 3rd multimedia cd is an average one. The movies are small and ugly, but

overall not so bad. Just expected better.

Overall, worth the waiting, waiting for a next release from Etnica.net ;)))

Rate: 9/10

Hmm. This one surprised me. Alot of good unheard tracks here: Spies : Les Ailes

Du Desir (Tim Schuldt Rmx) for instance.

7/10 (that's not bad for a compilation).

Yikes. Now I have THREE compliations with "Mi-loony-um!" and "Evil and Harm."

'Guess you can't get too much of a good thing :) // Re : multimedia -- The

exit sequence for this is irritatingly lenghty. I suppose you could just

ctrl-alt-delete the whole thing, but I still think the interface should have

given the option to skip past the legal stuff. Also, I find the lack of a

complete tracklist on the packaging to be poor design. You have to load the

CD rom for that (or come here :). // btw -- yes, ace acid10, "saiko-pod" and

"psychopod" are one and the same.

This compilation album is very comfortable for me. Especially ETNICA seems to

have grown absolutely since the release of EQUATOR. This album is worth

listening through all tracks.

i reckon myloonyum is the same and also EvilandHarm is a

shorter version (6.30) compared to the Demented comp original which is around

9 mins if i remember correctly. Tortured Brain and Etnica take the cake on the

first cd, which is pretty crankin', while the electrodub cd is absulutely

beautiful, one of the best chill tempo cds i own with all trax having their

own character. The Saiko Pod tk always sucks someone in. The cdrom is a great

idea... more labels should do this, and throw in a bonus mp3 track or

two....;+)

My oh my... very nice comp. As said above Etnica has really aproved them

selves... I like "True Protoss Warrior" very much... real kick ass cool

samples =) maybe becouse I love the PC game Star Craft...

Some really great elektrodubby releases from Etnica, then a whole lotta filler

from other acts, "SA2000" from Total Eclipse excepted. Everything else is

either released multiple times already or forgettable. I can't find the track

listing printed anywhere on the cardboard. Maybe it's on the multimedia CD

that I just can't be bothered to make time for.

wtf are being raving about etnica about? the tracks are good but not that good,

if you're going to buy this comp, get it for spies + tim schuldt, fucking sick

sick hard and gallopy, just the way I like it!

Good one, yes indeed! Though i had expected just a little more of the Etnica

ones. Both of the cd's are mastered at the 4CN-studios: excellent job done

there, great soundquality!! and all tracks are pretty sophisticated... and

have their own character... i like that :) I also like the cover, but it's a

shame it doesn't display the tracklisting... the cdrom is a short lesson about

Africa and some videos, but isn't to impressive...now,the 1st CD...T1 is

indeed a slightly more 'stretched-out' version of Mi Loony... in T3 i've found

a killer! again a dark flavoured track with guitars! awsome voicesample

too!!...T4 is the worst here imo: Creamcrop style which i normally like... but

this one is just ridiculous :( ...T5: good and surprisingly psychedelic one

from X-dream!...T6: the 2nd killer on this cd! vérrrry nice driving one with a

'quivering' kick and superb synths in the end... T9 is more minimalistic in

the Audiodrome style, good!...CD2 surprised me more than the 1st: a very

refreshing comp... Starts with 3 good ones: T1 is a more maximal version of

the Oozestyle...T2 also another version than the one on Distance9 great :)

...T5 original, but to much elektro for me...T6 one of my favorites too ...T10

has good stuff, but the Italians could have made it much much better! CD1

highlights: 1,3,6,9 bad:4...CD2 highs: 1,2,3,6 bad:4 and at last, a global

rating would be 82%

This two different but excellent CD's put into one. In contradiction to the

above, most of the tracks were reserved for this comp. I still play it

regularly as it encompasses most of what the psy scence is REALLY about.

9/10 (-1 for the CD Rom and cover)
