GaySatanicHippie Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 This album was my favourite compilation of the summer when it came out. All tracks are very, very, good and my favourite one is No.2, really slow at something like 126 bpm, but really trippy. There are no bad tracks on this one, there is no track that would be below a 8/10 on my scale, so i can only recommend it. I'll give it 10/10, just because its very rare to find a compilation that has 8 tracks that could all be singles. Iboga is one of my favourite labels right now, get this CD, it's really worth it.This CD is much better than the earlier two Iboga Compilations.

Guest Acidhive Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 V/A - Tryptamin Artist: Various Title: Tryptamin Label: Iboga Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'26" Bitmonx Vs Fabio : Erdbeer Kiwi 02. 10'22" Audopile : Buoyancy 03. 09'07" Son Kite : Timeless 04. 07'13" Amphasis : Downhill 05. 09'18" Ticon : Teenage Witch Bitch 06. 08'08" Human Blue : Nebula 07. 07'05" Phony Orphants : Detector Dude 08. 06'55" Reefer Decree Vs Emok : Sewer Bomb Review: I never knew this label, and it's fairly new. I saw the reviews of the earlier two comps though, and then decided this stuff could be right up my street. So, I tried to order one of the earlier two comps. They were sold out however and so I got to this one. I saw the tracklisting and thought: Great, Bitmonx and Son Kite & Human Blue. At least three groups I know are good. And so I ordered it at psyshop.com (with some other albums too) and got this fairly recently. I've listened to it in it's entirety once now, and I must say I really like it. This album is a bit slower in the bpm range and quite groovy. It's also really dark and sometimes (very) minimal. So, people not into this kind of stuff better steer well clear of this one. I like it very much however. Especially track 2 and 5 are really great examples of this album's style. I give this 8,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zhoro Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 I'm really surprised neither of you guys mentioned the first track - Bitmonx v. Fabio. Amazing grove - one of the coolest tracks I've ever heard. A great compilation altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goa_2000[at]mail[dot]ru Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 The first track is the best. A dancefloor killer. As 4 the whole album --- too minimalistic 4 me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak51 Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 As always, Iboga brings you the trailing edge. Nothing new or remarkable here except the very good tracks #6 and #8. Otherwise this is filler. 6/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tchankov I.V. Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 There's no filler here - original comp. with trippy feeling about it. Even though it's truely minimalistic (the first time I listened to it left no memorable moments in my head, but... the impression!), it doesn't lack the spirit in it (as most other minimal stuff does) - there's something mystical in every track. They fit together well. Music for travelling... I find it very "soft" & absolutely not evil. Standout tracks are: 1,2 and 8. Overall: 7,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leon_funnell[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 I went to a backyard rave where they where playing this cd, I was blown away (probably the drugs as well) with this music, it made me feel very spiritual. I have since ordered it from psyshop, although I've waited a month and it has not arrived!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tomvcarter Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 track 1 is the best progressive track ever in my opinon, bounce, bounce! New XV Kilist remix rocks aswell!!!track 1, 10/10, album 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue Scholar Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I would buy this comp if you enjoy strange sounds and good grooves. The phony orphants track is my favourite with lots of changes and a typical pro-drug sample. I would definitely buy it over a spiritzone compilation such as irresistable meltdown (series), same style but much more listenable. Bom.

seraph Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Good but nothing that interesting...There are 2 REAL songs that are worth the CD and they are BUOYANCY and NEBULA...tHey are really good...DETECTOR DUDE is pretty good too but the rest is pretty average....Erdbeer Kiwi and Teenage Witch Bitch a bit unserious...So, compilation as a whole 6.5/10...BUOYANCY and NEBULA 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vortexian Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I think this album can be a good cantidate for anyone not too sure what minimalism is about, yet is open minded. I really enjoy that all the songs are minimal in their own unique way. My personal favorites are audiopile bouyancy with its pumping groove and tripped out soundscapes, human blues nebula with the excitement that builds towards the end of the song and Phony orphants detector dude with its sequences of odd sounds. Im very glad Iboga has opened a few more options to psychedelic music than pounding 140bpm synth fury (not that i dont love it... I just like a little variety =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
