Review:

 

This early 12" from the Kopfuss/Hiscore bunch is full of acid trance influences

and represents the style of the 95/96 years when Goa Trance was a big mixture

of various kinds of trance. The formats of the songs often reflect techno

influences, though the repeating sounds are often evolving acid lines and

bubbling 303s. Spect-R use strong sweeps and pads on "Acido Flamenco" and this

track plods along... not the best from this EP. "This is Acid" contains some

very trancey riffs and a bouncy, kicking beat. This is the most memorable tune

on the EP, as it has nice composition and pleasing sounds. Sadly it fades off

slowly - that kind of ending sounds contrived somehow, when the composition

could be more epic. The flipside is more like early Goa Trance than acid

sounds, but the drums sound weaker and the melodies don't evolve as much. It

works out to be an alright tune but nothing special. Overall this is a fine

old school EP with lots of acid influences, from the early days of Goa 6/10
