Review:

 

I never heard any of these tracks before. And they are good.

It seems like this CD is ment for the floor. Very "stompy" and

crazy at certain points. Track 1 is typical Wizzy Noise, no news

hear, have you heard the Cybermancy-ablum you have heard this track.

The good part is 05:15 when a fat noise starts to grind down your brain,

then pause, then build up, full-on. Good one. Track 2 is not my cup of

tea. It's lacking of some kind of bassline or something. Sounds choppy.

Let's move on to track 3. This one is better. Nothing special tho. Just

nice :) So much noises tearing you ears apart. Adds a scary twist in the

end of the track to make you go faster.

Track 4: This one is good. I don't know how to describe it really.

This one is a bit different to the others so far. Much more psychedelic, not

as dark as Xenomorph and Wizzy Noise. I like this one very much indeed.

Track 5: It comes with a constant housy-sound-like-noise, I don't really

like this one. Nothing we haven't heard before. So let us move on :)

Track 6: This one suprised me. The guitar (GTR) in this track is one

of the better I heard. So clean in some way. Oh yes....

Very crazy in the end. Not only the guitarr whos working in this track.

Track 7 is also good. Psychedelic and pure. Could be a killer on the floor.

Not much melodies until the end and this one will for sure make you move

your feet off the ground. The melodie as constantly hanging around when

noises and sound-fx is put on top of that. The melodie stops, and the sound-fx

are on their on until the track ends. Good one.

Track 8: Is typical Absolum. Hard bassline..those beeps and bleeps, screams and

...something. In mittle their is a pause when you don't hear anything. And

suddenly

it all starts againg. The end is rough and hard. I wont spoil it for you :)

Track 9: hmm..what to say? Hard, rough sometimes. I think this is typical

psytrance :)

lol? oh well. I would recommand this CD for you AND your buddies.

Rating: 8/10

talamasca + skazi + xenomorph = best compil I've heard in the past 3 months...

MUCH better than the tribadelic comp, it's also really for playing out, not

really for home listening, unless you like jumping off the walls when at home

I just bought this wonderfull piece of music. Hulte has said all about the

tracks. Highlights for me are Absolom, Talamasca, Wizzy Noise and Shiva&Skazi.

Nice dark, stomping psychedelic songs compiled, killer tunes at best. Great on

the dancefloor and for DJ's, but also audible whilest making homework.8/10

Agreed, just got this in today ans it's filled with full on floor stompers. I

bought it especially for Wizzy Noise and Xenomorph. Especially Wizzy Noise...

Man, that track Acid Level 33 is soooo good!! Buy this if you're in for a full

on ride!! 8,5/10 from me here.

This CD is in the top 3 of the year for floor killers. Some people may not like

this style for home use, but not one song on this cd would suck on the floor.

Pure MDMA 2, Sub Science and Zoo, in no particular order are the best of the

year. Funny, all of them have Skazi tracks. Wow, this guy is amazing and I

just hope for a visit to LA. Does anyone know when a new Skazi album will be

released? I still listen to Animal religiously.

Damn good party comp. Those new skazi tracks (especially the one with Shiva)

are sublime. One thing though. For god's sake skazi, if youre going to use

guitars, then get a decent sound. These van halen riffs just dont do justice

to the power of the rest of your music. Check out Godflesh or Fear Factory,

the solid sound these bands have developed seems far better suited to what you

are doing. Or if that seems too industrial, then perhaps something more like

slayer. Otherwise, it just makes your stuff sound like cheap rock.

Nonetheless, your new tracks are absolutely brilliant, thank you.

anyone else in here spotted how wizzy noise blatantly sampled techno loops from

adam beyer & marco carola in their 'acid level 33' track ? pretty interesting

to see how they make a psy track out of it, but i definitely don't think it is

one of their better tracks ..

FUCKING RULES!!! This is the direction psy is going, having just returnrd

from Summer Dreaming 2002 (austrlaia) and heard every track on the dance

floor. Thank You Skazi.

This comp and USTA's new frontiers are the 2 best compilations I've heard in a

long time. Rocking sounds and SO much power on all of these tracks. I simply

love it. At the moment my favourite is SX's Cost Me. Simply rockin' What

else can be exepted when the comp is compiled by Skazi and released by

Shaffel... And these songs are all released only in this cd...

So hard and so rough. This is among the heaviest cd:s i have heard, hard to put

words on it but somehow plastic and metallic with a dirty sound? (In a good

way) At least the Skazi tracks. This is going to make me buy his both albums

for sure. But there is more than Skazi here: Wizzy noise makes a track that

kills most of the tracks on Cybermancy wich I loved very much. The sample is

well heard, I've heard it in tracks like Polaris - Serious trouble and

Synthetic - The Mummy. I don't know who was first to use it and it doesn't

matter. It's a cool sample. Lemurians track is quite good to. Especally at

4:15 when it gets speed and stuff. Sociopath is another great track. Insane

and twisted in a minemalistic way with that cool synth towards the end. Yummy.

By the rivers is a killer too. So rough, so rough with a very noisy

appearance. Killer at 3:14. Cost me works for me but qualifies only like good,

not awsome but nice breaks. The sample is from Mission Impossible 2 I think.

Then comes my favourite: Ctr! So damn good in the Skazi way. Awsome at 5:50

with the build-up and "Heavy" just before the blow. Then it comes hard at the

end too...aahh. Tied up by Exaile is another good one. Cool groove with

masterend with that mean synth at the end wich "rattels" in that good way.

(1/32 that sounds "wrrrraapaapapapapow" get it?). The Absolum track Pulse

reminds me of Push that is on Subscience. Good pulsating track. The Talamasca

track starts to be good at 4:33 and is dark and stomping for a while but in

the last 1:40 it changes back to the beginning and doesn't go anywere. Pretty

good track anyway. This Comp is a must-have, a pure 10/10.

Holy shit...this comp. introduced Skazi to me....what can i say but omg. To

top it all off, the very next month he came to South Africa and performed

live. I got 2 hear about 6 tracks from the comp. over a huge sound system,

mixed by Skazi. Blew my $^@# head away, from that night....no more clubs

(house music) for me.
