shahar@isratrance Posted December 31, 2001 Posted December 31, 2001 V/A - The Remedy Artist: Various Title: The Remedy Label: Zillion Mental Anarchie Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 08'25" Morphem : Gainalizer 02. 09'13" Prisoners Of The Sun : Image Acustica 03. 09'12" Antix : Altered Axis 04. 07'21" Segment : Gelfling (Skeskeses Mix) 05. 06'59" Adrenachrome : Drug Inventory 06. 06'53" Fuzzion : Sound 154 07. 07'42" Nuclear Ramjet : Those Who Digg (Ver 1.1) 08. 12'17" Kumei : Homo Robato Review: A new compilation from the Greek ZMA, compiled by Hercules the anarchist. This time a bit more varied and soft, though still very much within the ZMA boundaries you're used to- psychedelic tech-trance. Morphem open with morningish Gainalizer featuring a multitude of aliens having a nice conversation over coffee and some brownies. Psychedelic mornings forever! Oh, and give it at least one listen with headphones. POTS with a nice groovy piece, nice, but not more, and I would make a global cut. Then the kiwis hit hard and dark, Antix with the scary Altered Axis, a mechanic pounding march through a scary landscape. Segment, Morphem and another guy, with a real nice relaxed morning tune, a gem, and a nice reminder of the good old Morphem days. Adrenachrome, half POTS, does it to me much more that POTS, and brings you a storming havoc of percussions, a happy energetic piece of music. Fuzzion take a different direction of what you were used to hear from them. A massive technoish tune with clubby touches, Ticon influences, and huge sound. Nuclear Ramjet follow the same lane with a lesson in digging- massive tech-trance assault. Kumei, another new Greek surprise, end with the real cute Homo Robato, a happy tune best described by its name- prepare yourselves for a long journey in robots' land. Bottom line: A real good one from ZMA, a lot of good dancefloor material still making a good home listening experience. Favorites: 1, 3, 4(!), 5-7, 8(!). Quote

Guest MK Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 ...8 words and an acronym: All tracks were digitally mastered by Son Kite (MPDQX). Quote
Setsuko Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 Hercules made a great track choice , the sound you get here is very fresh and clear , the rhythems are extremely groovy . I realy like the Prisoners Of The Sun track and even more Luthje's track Drug Inventory ... but the track with the most groovy structures is the Fuzzion track , which is not in their usual style but is just superb for dancing and listening . so track 1,2,3,5 and 6 are worth getting this pumping masterpiece . I give this one a psychedelic rating of 8/10 ... Quote
Guest Chong Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 THIS IS A Funky compilation, all trax are great as mentioned above - but Nuclear Ramjets' track is a real Killer, Im suprised Setsukos' self-proclaimed "better description" did not mention it... Good work Hercules and I look forward to Monarchie 2. Quote
Setsuko Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 The Nuclear Ramjet track doesn't do it for me , i find it a bit chaotic in some parts although it's indeed a stomper but .. i prefer the smooth way ... and after a few more listensessions this cd even get's better ... upgrade to 8,5/10 ... he he Quote
