Guest MK Posted December 22, 2001 Posted December 22, 2001 V/A - Winter Session Artist: Various Title: Winter Session Label: Databass Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 05'47" Bebop : Nowhere To Go 02. 06'31" Klan : Ferment Musical 03. 07'13" Paps : Do You Know ? 04. 07'37" Tripiatrik : Circonflexe 05. 06'11" Yumade : In My Room 06. 06'47" Kent And Tone : Melon Ghost 07. 06'30" Dardan : Highland Strings 08. 06'32" Face : In Da Machine (Rmx) 09. 08'14" Tripiatrik : Circonflexe (Magus Rmx) Review: "Everything will be all right...you are in my hands...I am here to protect you...you have no-where to go..." Bebop (aka Droidlock) gets this show on the road - Minimal, rich and psychedelic; so the album continues thru this path, exploring many different styles (trip-hop, house, tribal) but still staying true to psychedelic tastes. Many weird filters, samples, sounds, phat beats and crisp production techniques shine thru on this CD. Only 2 trax from this comp had been released b4 : the Paps & Tripiatrik trax - but 1st time for these to be available on CD. I am a big fan of this sound and have enjoyed most releases from the Yumade/Paps/SAAB/Droidlock crew - it's good to see they are constantly evolving and are still able to create such wicked sounscapes. My favourite compilation for the year --every track complementing the next - not just a random bunch of songs--a real spin-out The Databass crew are pioneers and educators in space & sound, and are showing their mastery on how to combine the 2. 9/10 Quote
Guest macro Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 Great compilation ( French Crew rulez again!! ) ...i even would give them 9,5 of 10 ... Quote
Guest Gringo Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 One of the best compilations for a long time. This ROCKS 10/10 Quote
Guest Ash Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 I'm suprised so few have actually heard this CD or just not bothered to review it. As said above, it's a great compilation, on the twisted side but full of musical leaps and technical bleeps. I have to agree and say best compilation for 2001 9.8/10 - (slightly ahead of Solar Seeds) & loses some points for the final mastering (the sound is great overall) it has some bad moments at the start of a couple of tracks.

Nomad Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Along with solar seeds and otherwise this is the best release of the last 6 months IMO. Every track is fat, heavy and psychedelic...what more do you need to know Quote
Setsuko Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 indeed this cd is awesome ..... when i heared it first it didn't realy impress me , but ..... after several listens this cd was growing on me , and once i played this Winter Session extremely loud and it rulez !!!!! groove power guaranteed ... and it doen't get bored at all . there are some mastering mistakes with the outro and intro in some tracks but this is the only negative aspect ... the coverdesign is nice too , a bit minimalistic but with aesthetic graphic skills .... good work , highlights are track 4,5,7 and the bonustrack by Magus .... i'm realy looking forward to hear more. 8,5/10 Quote
