Guest Antic Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Good comp, although it's better for home-headphones listening than in clubs I think. There's so much quiet and delicate sounds you just can't hear on a dancefloor. I also wish it had original Mescalito (tr #5) on it instead of this sucky synthetic remis As it is however, the younger brother tracks (both) and prometheus make this one worthy purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest U Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Not often u hear a track that so opens your mind like 'The Finger'!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inpsyde-head Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Although the inlay designs and concept looks pretty commercial (something like WARP releases) the music is definitively MASSIVE !!! A high quality production with great ideas and killer songs arranged by talented minds ! Buy this release without thinking two times !

Guest KS Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Tristan track sounds like full on music in rehab... very mediocre track this.. dude i do not like tristan's djing or his tracks themselves.. the whole twisted crew is too much groupie thingy for me to appreciate..... the music is good to decent as usual, but then we have the starfuckers who say that this is the best out there etc... this is good, but not that good,,, tristan, fly agaric suck .. don't get me started on fly... (how lousy is the track? even the people who said it was killer said there was nothing exceprional in it) tracks 3, 5 and 6 are very good.. and again the last one (twisted shouyld thank serge)//// yb tracks sound like hallucinogen wierdo beat trance..... track 2 is filler.. so this comp gets a 6/10 (8/ 10 but minus 2 for fly agggggggairccccc (this is real cheese) and tristan (couldn't even spell fouteen right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Agent Smith Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 i must say - I.M. are among my very fav acts, but this time they disappointed. a lot of cheeze going on here - it's like: we've all heard their catchy chopped-up melody-lines before. in a lot of trax, it meshes right in, but in this case, it's like "whhooooa! where the fuck did that come from??" (shpongle, i know). apart from that, i think the comp kikkkks ass! Just a question tho - Mascok, mr ex-convict: what is it u hate so much about Infected M? i agree that they've done better than this, but how much of their stuff have u really heard? cos they are after all quite fukkin skilled.. and btw: rid yourself (and the scene) of your bad vibes & whining - it sounds like you're coming down after 2 weeks of hardcore speed abuse.. having opinions is one thing, swearing between every word is another. oh, and one more thing: you say you're an x-con.. u think that makes u a hard-ass in any way? i mean - most of the ppl here have done illegal shit more than twice, but the majority are not Stupid enough to get caught! anyway man - take it easy!! But all in all, this is a rather brilliant brick in my cd-wall... 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baboon Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 one of the best cds ever made... that's all you need to know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 sounds a lot like a hallucinogen album, and that in my book is a good thing.... so lets start the review, the finger is good but sounds like old hallucinogen stuff, the sample is really cool 'the feeengerrrr' the melody is also cool, so the track overall is cool. dsp very similar style andits much stronger than the finger... track three again simialar style and an awesome melody in this one.. this track is very cool. tristan - i don't really like it, sounds too restrained... mescalito is an amazing track, hard pounding beats and gbu is on its way to becoming a modern trance icon... prometheous also provides an amazing track, it has a lot of old school influences and an awesome baslline groove... prometheus is getting better and better with every releaase... fly agaric (i don't want to talk about this), lets just say i would never play it/.. the last two tracks are great.. more in the older cool hallunigen style... so what is the end result? this compilation is nice, but one thing i dodn't like apart from 4 and 6, was the fact that the first couple of tracks sound too formulistic hallucinogen style... i for one would like to see the hallucinogen bassline incur a drastic change, the tin drum kind of kick to me is very uninspiring... so if i had to give advice to the shpongle gang, then it would be that they need to seriously work on their basslines... the melodies are great as always, they should take a page out of the prometheus book,,, that apart, this album is definitely the strongest comp since mystery of the thirteen crystal skulls (which is still the best i have heard in the lat year and a half,., ) so this gets a 7.5/10...

Guest Acidhive Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Well, this disc DOES only contain scorchers in my humble opinion. It starts off great and ends great. In between the tracks are nicely varied and some of them are real brain burners. I especially like that synthetic remix from Mescalito... Once Dado breaks it up at around 3:30 it's just totally crazy shit!! Fortean Times also whips up a great atmosphere from the word go(a)!! :-) Actually, all tracks here are just cool! It's one of those comps that'll be hunting my stereo for years to come... Great job from Twisted here! And especially great to see Simon returning to his psy-kicking boots! Definately a 9/10 here !!

Guest PsiLoCyBe Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Mmmm ... It's strange how many of you found this musically apealing ... No doubt the production and engineering is SPOT FUCKIN ON (if you know anything about it) ... what else do you expect from Simon P ...... but sadly I'm not so keen on the music itself. 5.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transphere Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 the Younger Brother tracks are awesome! worth buying just for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tomas Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Theese days I find a lot of releases to be boring, monotounus and not at all my flavor. Labels are looking more and more like the big corporate business you find in other scenes. Ofcourse this is only natural. The thing is, that some labels, like Twisted deal with this alot better than others. Sure, they have a new "look" and perhaps a more "straight" image, but if you listen to the music, which after all is the essence, it hasn't gone in that direction. What twisted presents us with here is as allwasy massive quality. The King Midas Touch of Simon Posford all over allmost every track does of course not make things worse, either. My only negative comment to this album is made regarding the tristan track. I have never been a great fan of his style. But diversity is ofcourse important. Let him do his thing, plenty of people love it. 8/10 Bom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Very good psychedelic goodie that came out of Twisted...This compilation is nuts with lots of psychedelia, crazyness and intelligence...Simon colaborated with different people...Best on compilation : THE FINGER, BLUE SKY ON MARS ( ! ), FORTEAN TIMES, MESCALITO, I SEE MYSELF, DWARVES ( ! ) and pretty good mix by Total Eclipse to DORSET PERCEPTION....8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
