Guest Ubik Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Magnetrixx - Trittschall Artist: Magnetrixx Title: Trittschall Label: Tatsu Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 07'19" Yttrium 02. 09'13" Singularity 03. 08'23" Ichneumon 04. 09'07" Tritschall 05. 08'02" Phorese 06. 08'19" Spazmolyt 07. 08'15" Neutrino 08. 07'11" Mikrotaster Review: After quite a number of successfull releases on various comps (I'm especially thinking to Intraferences on Dragon Tales), finally a full album from Magnetrixx. I'll kill the suspense now, this is in my opinion one of the best album in the year so far. This is a little similar to the son kite and ticon sound, so something like trancey progressive smooth minimal A lot of attention has been paid to details. All the sounds unroll perfectly, with tons of subtiles changes and additions to the bassline and drums over the time. On top of it you can hear lots of really slick sounds effects that have a liquid quality, processed voices, and occasionnal alien synthlines which create enthralling soundscapes, characteristic of Magnetrixx. Also this is one of the few albums released recently that I really like to hear from beginning to the end. Tracks are all in the same style, but they each have a special feeling to them with distinct and original basslines, and the flow/progression is very good troughout the whole album, starting quite calmly and building up. I won't go into a track by track description, because except the first track which is "only" good, the others are all great. The highlight for me is the title track Tritschall. So if you like his previously released tracks, or are opened to the new sound, get this, you won't be disappointed. 9/10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masada[at]trance[dot]net Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Extremly good album, one of my favourites this year alongside Absolum and some others. Perfect beats and great arrangements. Best track of the album is Tritschall. I give it 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaySatanicHippie Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I totally agree with the above reviewers, this is one of the best of the year, and its been a good year ( in my opinion at least). Magnetrixx has a very distinct style, that sounds extremely good on loud system, but that also sounds good on your walkman. His basslines are very precise and synthetic-sounding, and they give the tracks a very alien-bouncey and hypnotic feeling. The percussion is very crisp and lends a lot drive to the tracks, but it is the use of voice-samples that make Magnetrixx stand out from the rest. I never heard samples so well incorporated into tracks, they always come at just the right times and they feel like they are part the whole sound-picture. That gives all tracks a very subconscious feel, because you hear all these distant sounding voices lurking between synthetic sounds and explosion-like effects. Because of that subconscious feel, it might take a couple of listens, but then you will be hooked for te long run. I played this at parties, heard it at parties and listened to it at home ( a lot), and it always works. Best track is the title track Trittschall, but all others are excellent as well. Even though this realease is definitely on the minimal side, fullon people should like this, too, because this is highly psychedelic, just in a subconscious way.(9,5/10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thorosm[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 quite good ,hypnotic, sometimes iboga-ish sound but has all goood qualities of prog-tech-german sound.... could be best album of 2001 alongside beatbizzare & ticon......

Guest Goa Spirit Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 This sounds like a continuation of Vibration 3, not that i am complaining... i liked that album, and i the same goes for magnetrix's first album........ the highlight here is tritschall.,.... gets a bit repetitive at times, but its not nearly as minimal as some german stuff... very nice morning music as usual......... peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cybernetic Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 This album is the shit. Finnally i got what i search for a long time. Real minimalism. Wonderful sounds, not so twisted but it got a psychedelic flavour. It´s great. Buy this if your into artists like, Beat Bizarre, Paste, The cujorius one and other acts like that. Rate; 9,8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xymaths Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Yeah, really nice minimal trance, deft could throw this in between The fly and out here we are stoned!! Minimal trance for people who hate minimal trance.9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syre Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hear this album stoned and very LOUD, and it will turn you up side down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skaha Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Excellent hypnotic stuff - smooth with just enough change ups and progressions to keep you interested - favourites are 2,4,6,7. I especially like Spazmolyt for some reason - that floating synth sound makes the whole track for me - that one would work really well around 3 or 4am - just the right textures for brainwaves at that hour. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Acidhive Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Magnetrixx... yeah, ya gotta love ' em.. Pretty good album here, with some kicking tracks. Still, this doesn't really get under your skin as some of their previous singles did. At least not in my opinion. Now take into account that nearly all tracks sound alike, and then... well.. it's a good album. Not bad, but not storming either. Could've been better, with some more diversity. Some of their singles like Digeridoo, Arnhem Land for example sound more mature and diverse. So I'm guessing a 2nd album from them will be better. Still, 7,5/10 it deserves...

Guest jomis Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 if you like the P H A T sound of magnetrixx check out their EP with Attractor & Graviton. simply beautiful. also Trockenmasse EP is of the highest qua-lity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swedidish Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I dont really like minimal that much... but this has a lot of atmosphere...and i mean a LOT dancey, smooth, everything.. but i dont think that trittschall is the best track here.. i have to say that it is Spazmolyt.. cant rate it..to difficult..but very good anyway...

Guest the_juggler Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 WWoooWW !! What an amazing album we have here. I didnt like only two tracks, 1 and 6 - the rest is excelent Singularity is minimal, all the time progressive Ichneumon is for the dancefloor, especialy in the night hours; Trittschall is for the morning, with a powerfull kick and bassline. The rest of the album is good but this three tracks are my favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
