Review:

 

After causing a big impact in 2001 with a lot of hits and an amazing debut

album, Ticon are back with a remixes EP in their home label Digital

Structures. Two of their best tracks were chosen to be remixed. From their

album, their best track for me, and surely their biggest hit on the outdoor

psychedelic dancefloors- We Are the Mammoth Hunters, and on the other hand a

more clubby indoor soft hit- Lo-Mi-Hi.

MOS start with their version of the mammoths- strong powerful pounding track as

to be expected from MOS and a sure driving hit on every dancefloor. Still, I

must say that it's not much of an interpretation for me. The original has

enough power of its own and sounds more organic, MOS don't tell us a different

story really. P-Woland takes us to different places in a more groovy version,

and more of a remix. It's a real nice one, and a very enjoyable track, but the

feeling that we're in a mammoth hunt is lost, and in that it misses the point,

I think.

Atmos remix to Lo-Mi-Hi is a real surprise- massive distorted sound, a feel

that reminds me of The Delta, but much softer, with a lot of emotions and a

fairy tale atmosphere. A full power trance work that opens up beautifully in

the end, and a definite in-your-face floor stormer. It also gives a different

perspective on the original. Ladies & Gentlemen- Atmos is back! The Aircrash

Bureau go to another territory altogether- technoish clubby explosive version,

with great percussion and a totally engulfing build up. Though it's not the

music that I listen to usually, I must say I find it quite irresistible.

Bottom Line: The Lo-Mi-Hi remixes give us more than the Mammoth Hunters ones.

Anyway this is a must for DJs and Ticon lovers. I think it would have been

nice to have the originals here as well. Favorites: 1, 3(!), 4.

1) This MOS remix is pure warfare! Stomping relentlessly, it makes you trip

increasingly. It seems this track breathes...Some background sounds

brainscrewed me. won-der-ful !!!

 

2) It's linear in the begining, with some light groove in it. When it starts to

kick your ears alternatively, it gets more mental and enjoyable...but not

enough to make people jump...

 

3) This one scratches your cortex hard after an intro coming from a fairytale.

It lets you breathe in the middle before it sends you highighigh in a mix of

minimal and typical sweedish sounds..woah what a slap in the face ! (i don't

copy the first review...it does make this strong effect)

 

4) After the brainscrewer and the brainsucker, here is the braincutter. whack

whack whack...we are in a factory...whack whack whack...red alert...whack

whack whack...a big sequence of massive blasting sounds, just before it

restarts all in one ! eat that !

 

*AN EP TO HAVE*

All 4 tracks are great. And every of these tracks makes people jump sky-high

(according to experiments done by DJ Nois dancefloor science institute ;) but

in its own way. Atmos & Mos are great night-time trax, whereas p-woland and

aircrash bureau are brilliant morning tunes. Overall 9/10 (10/10 to aircrash

bureau)
