Guest Dreamer Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 V/A - Twelve Artist: Various Title: Twelve Label: TIP World Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 05'55" Logic Bomb : A 02. 06'19" Bus And Siddartha : D 03. 06'13" Cyberbabas And Paul : G 04. 06'01" Process : C 05. 06'03" Total Eclipse : F 06. 05'55" Manmademan : B Flat 07. 06'05" Spacedrifters : E Flat 08. 05'31" Nick Doof : A Flat 09. 05'59" Synthetic : D Flat 10. 06'03" The Antidote : D Flat 11. 05'59" Earthling And Chicago : B 12. 05'52" Hallucinogen : E Review: Well THIS is ambient. No psychedelic ambient here, not even a single bassline - but pure chilled relaxing tunes from the best trance artists in the world. each track tells a different story, a 6 minutes long one. which overall creates a sacred peaceful 72 minutes. favorite tracks: 1, 6, 11, 12, and 10. still the rest of the tracks are excellent and combined perfectly. I'll give it 10/10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kindgok Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Um...where did this come from? I swear, no US online stores (Chaos/SPSY)have so much as hinted at this or the new Green House Effect album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schizo Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 TIP has been working on TWELVE for a long time, combined 12 tracks which were made for this album from different artists! all these artist have very different styles, yet all of them made a track especially for this album, and you can see that TIP has really worked on this ! these are some really great ambient tracks, i just got it recently so i'm still getting used to the tracks ! but this is one of those rare good ambient albums...

DeathPosture Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Brilliant, brilliant.... It's said that Raja Ram was inspired to make this album with all the contributors when he was walking in the mountains and rainforests of Brazil... Each artist got a certain tone and 6 minutes playing time, and they've done it brilliantly... Definately the best chill-out album of 2001... 9/10 Bom shankar!

Guest iNFiNiTi500 Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 There apparantly was some studio time left for the artists that did Movers and Groovers 2 (most are featured here) and so Raja came up with the briljant idea of the 1 tone/note - 6 minute tracks (that is probably the scenario). Whereas this could be of course an excerise in borism, the final result is quite creative and satisfying. Whereas the end result is more ambient of the wallpaper paradigm than say Shpongle, the whole ambiance and style eventually appealed to me. Just as with the Movers and Groovers series, TIPWORLD simply forces the participating artist to do something different than 4/4 psytrance. Of course, most artist album features an ambient/chillout tune or 2, but that cannot be compared with the wicked soundscapes (no familiar Rhyth, no Bass) displayed here. Well, there is currently an overflow of conventional psytrance compils so a "now something completely different" album can only be applauded. So 8.5/10. I hope TIPWORLD continues these mystical experiences (a psy-metal album, a psy-classical album e.g.)and given the -far out- character of the Shpongle samples, Raja is ready for it.

Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 It's hard to write a review when only a few words come to my mind when listening to this. These words are Masterpiece, fantastic, unbelievable, unreal and so on... This album is definitely one of the candidates the best chill-out album of the year (we still have the new Shpongle album to look forward to). But this is brilliant. I can't help notice that on this album it is the English producers that have come up with the most interesting results. Especially Manmademan with that spaced/blissed out piece they did. The Hallucinogen track is also among my favorites here, soooooo beautiful and melancholic. But what an effort! Amazing! Plurries... /Psylent Buddhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soem aeld Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 iiiiisss that this CD is very good! Even my parets likes this! The Logic Bomb track rox.. and so does the sitar in the second.. hmm well every single track rox in its own way! Interresting that Simon Posford made a track so "not-him"! No flanged drumbeats and synths.. only a beautiful piano with an even more beautiful violin (or cello.. or something like that). Go and buy this CD. Plurries! (10/10) . . . . /sunsquid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kunfuka Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 The antidote and hallucinogen's tracks are wonderfull ! Very good cd ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Am I the only one who doesn't get it? Do I need to play it over speakers instead of headphones? Do I need to be stoned and/or doing something else? Because this to me sounds way too monotone and slow. I withhold judgement for now.

Guest Acidhive Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Just listening to it now, and this IS a true masterpiece as far as ambient-chill Goa is concerned. Only comp. that comes close to this is Fahrenheit Project Part 1. All tracks on this are great, and it's nice to hear all these different artists are all skilled at making this stuff in their own way. Great stuff to chill to, and this will also appeal to those that don't like regular psytrance. I give this 9/10!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 What is this about? i don't understand this album at all... turned out quite interesting, because we used it for a background when spinning a morning set.... but i have listened to it and am totally bemused as to what simon and gang are trying to do here,, nothing really happens in this cd... just some abscure sounds... this gets me thinking, as to whether i might have missed the point of the album/// is this minimal ambient? someone with some answers please help me out here. I share Freak 51's views on this one, so out of respect for simon and his crew, i will hold back my judgement.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ??? Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 People after hearing this album, i have only one piece of advice,.. DO NOT SMOKE DMT, or you will start producing music like this... complete nonsense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 i smoke dmt sometimes and i find this cd is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terence Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 So ???, you think that smoking DMT is wrong because it can make you understand or like something you were to singleminded to understand before you had the DMT experience? That is what you are saying. Now, you certainly don't have to smoke DMT to like this cd, an open mind is enough. It's always nice to see artists push their boundaries to create new soundscapes wich propells the musical evolution into the future. Especially if it's done as well as on this cd.

danvapid Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Beautiful, sacred, soothing, inspiring, emotional, multidimensional journey pieced together by many familiar, and obviously versatile psytrance acts...best tracks are 1,3,4,5,6,7,11...but really nothing less than good...the synthetic track is a little iffy because of its motion pictureish feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koirraaah Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Fsckin excellent. Would work better as a double CD, with less shortened tracks. Consistent in style and very relaxing. Intelligent and atmospheric. 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKS Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 This is a great release. Often when there are ambient with almoust no beats, it becomes almost boring to listen to. This is not boring at all! There are so many beautiful sounds in this. My opinion: One of the very best releases this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MG Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 This is fantastic. HAllucinogen track was very different, Logic Bomb are a great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ehsanur Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 To Freak51: Of course its slow,its pure ambient (duh)! I think the concept is interesting and the result is very good. Its fun to see artists take advantage of other musical talents..going from usual full-on tracks to these ambient pieces. Ny favorite are the Antidote and Total Eclipse tracks. Far out! 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
