Guest dam10n Posted October 5, 2002 Posted October 5, 2002 darn good stuff actually here's a review going out on the psyreviews.com list tomorrow - sorry it's very wordy Hallucinogen In Dub Twisted (UK) I’d expected this to be brilliant - but not this brilliant. Freelance producer and general sonic experimentalist Ott (read this week’s interview to find out how he put some of the sounds together) comes from a full-blown studio engineer background, working with the likes of Brian Eno, the Orb and even James. Freelancing for Youth, he met Simon Posford at London’s Butterfly Studios, and now lays down some seriously heavyweight remixes of Hallucinogen’s classic tuneage. Mi-Loony-Um opens with the same intro as the floormashing 4-4 original, and then buzzes right down to a slower, heavy dub tempo signalling that you’re about to be taken deeper than you’ve ever been before. It’s jaw-dropping, with the trademark hallucinogen sound more felt than heard. It’s pure dub, with hefty bass, plenty of topend splurge, a groove that’d melt butter and at eleven minutes plus it’s a perfect duration to get one on, light up, and float back. Solstice uses a more discernable skeleton of the original, and builds up some insanely gorgeous patterns, with rhythms shifting all over and melodies coming in and out of nowhere. It’s got a heavy druidic vibe, and a more complex set of atmospheres than you’ve ever heard before. Gamma Goblins and things get very, very good indeed. The pixielike main melody is underset by fat, red-eye rasta pure dub… and it’s a sheer fucking delight. You always had the suspicion that Hallucinogen’s stuff would lend itself well to dub - and this proves you right. It’s a dub circus with flecks of the original souping in and out, and the effect is truly psychedelic. Spiritual Antiseptic uses the original’s cutup vocals with a more traditional dub arrangement - melodica, clattering drums, and reverb to hell and back. Meanwhile LSD takes the intro and launches straight out into an insanely gorgeous bit of dub - the clatters and spaciness make this possibly the most shpongle-like on the album, and the new vibe and melodies Ott prescribes give it a trippy Celtic vibe. Twisting and turning, the way the main LSD melody surfaces is pure sonic poetry, and certainly gets those brain chemicals flowing. Finally Angelic Particles - with swirling vocals and sweet guitar (specially recorded by Simon Posford) creating a sort of timeless dub full of rich psychedelic harping back to Floyd, Gong and the Grateful Dead. This is an absolute triumph - it’s original, it’s brave, and the sounds are truly transporting making this a release that truly deserves the “psychedelic” tag. Not just an album to enjoy, but one to experience - and for a damn long time as well. 5 Quote

Guest 1 Posted October 5, 2002 Posted October 5, 2002 ha, their ordering website isn't even secure! Shhh don't tell anybody. Quote
Guest --==1400MiLeS==-- Posted October 6, 2002 Posted October 6, 2002 So we are getting a dub revival...'Hallucinogen in Dub', LSDs 'Unity Dub'... More than anything else, Psyambient is built on the foundations the ORB lay in the beginning of the nineties. Not so strange since the central figure behind the UK (psy)ambient scene, Dragonfly and LSD owner Youth, penned down the classic Little Fluffy Clouds with ORBs Mr. Patterson (also released a mix album for LSD)... Maybe we should think of honouring the Orb (and other ambient pioneers such as FSOL) with some reviews on the site...We owe them... OTT also deserves a big thump up...his remixes are so 'happy, happy, joy, joy'...soft, gentle, warm, pleasant...excellent combination with the recognizable Hallusynths and Halloops... A relief compared to the dead serieus minimalism and fast'n'furious psy... Quote
Guest bugbread Posted October 6, 2002 Posted October 6, 2002 If we start reviewing the Orb here, I get first dibs! I just listened to Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld again, and it beyond rocks! And talk about Slug Dub for trippiness! The only danger would be me overpraising it Quote
Guest space^madness Posted October 6, 2002 Posted October 6, 2002 just go get it, it's out! (on mp3s too;) ). one word: A M A Z I N G Quote
Guest schism Posted October 6, 2002 Posted October 6, 2002 actually i'm kinda dissapointed. sounds like too much ott, not enough simon. even tales was better than this hehe... Quote
Guest mad Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 ooooooooooooo god roxor i want that Hallucinogen in Dub by Hallucinogen & Ott i love ott uymmmmmmmm yummy yummy thanks matt Quote
Guest bugbread Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 I got a great response when I asked the people at HMV when the album was going to be in the store. "Well, it's scheduled for the end of the month, but since it's psy-trance, it'll probably come out late, so we're expecting it in mid-November." Said as total matter of fact. Man, they're gonna get annoyed with me soon. "Is it in yet?" "No." 1 hour later "Is it in yet?" "NO!" ad nauseum. Quote
