I'm surprised to see so few comments on Mantrix's new album, this thread. The first one seemed to have alot more buzz. It was also one of the best Psytrance albums of 2006 according to many people on here, including myself.

 

Sounds relatively different from their debut. More Electro and Trance than Psy as the synoposis suggests. They seem to be branching out into more electronica styles here, taking aim at more sub-genre's. These include Trance, Tech-Trance, Psytrance, Electro, Breaks.. Via the samples, End of Time sounds more to my liking. I like the last number. Voice work sounds like a smoother, more clear Tricky (the artist) in a Psy-Tech Chemical Brothers-esque way. But the singing on Infinity... Why mess up a completey cool dance song with cheesy dialogue and singing like that? I can tell based on a sample right away if something sounds cool or not.

 

Currently I'm not ordering this. Mantrix is trying too hard to appeal to too many genre's I feel and in doing so many people will find few songs they like.

The 2 first track are brilliant, but the rest ... no so impressive, i have to try again

 

Some voice ruins few track, imo.

What's the story with this album? Their debut was so popular here when it released in 2006. Did anyone else get this album who has more to say? I could never find a review thread for some reason.
