Review:

 

I just bought this cd, because a friend of mine already

had this one, and I liked it very much. So let's start

off with track 1 'Koxbox - 6 Cells'. It's a very groovy

track, but not the usual goa beat. There are some short

melodies in it, all in all not really psychedelic but

not bad. Track 2 'Amphasis - Matrix' starts with a deep

baseline, some psychedelic samples in it, makes me move

my feet 7/10. 'Element - Transform' is track 3, this is

morning sound imo, nice speech samples, nice baseline,

not to fast. I've seen Element live yesterday in

Munich/Germanys Natraj-Temple. They played only for one

hour, but the sound was very energetic. Track 4 'Tarsis

- Endless Stomping' is minimal, but a little to 'flat'

if you know what I mean, there are much better tracks

of Tarsis. Track 5 'Charasmatix - Deläriüm' is a real

stomper, cool Quake 3 Arena samples, and nice driving

bassline, this track gets an extra driving factor in the

last three minutes of it, love it 9/10! Track 6 'Noma

- Goons' has also a very fat baseline and some nice

quiet speech samples in it, it's one of my favorite

tracks 10/10. track 7 'S.U.N. Project - paranormal' is

usual S.U.N. Project style, hard, fast, good track but

nothing special, i like the guitar riffs, 7/10. Track 8

'Logic Bomb - Psychedelic pollation' is very psychedelic.

There are elephant samples in it, makes you think of

india and jungle and things like that, plus a solid base,

this is a burner track! The last track (Number 9) is

'Viva-O-Ma - Triebp' has a very synthetic kick drum which

I personally don't like so much. But it's anyway a cool

number. My favorites of this cd are amphasis-matrix, the

charasmatix track, noma-goons and logic bomb. Overall

rating: 8/10. As far as I know, there's a follow up comp.

since Zoom 2001 in Zuerich(CH) already happened.

Koxbox - 6 Cells is definately a real killer. I haven't ever heard such grooovy

baseline and cool melody!!! It gets 10 of 10 from me....

very good compils, high lights are 2,5,6 & 'Logic Bomb - Psychedelic pollation

is one of my top 5 tracks.
