psytones Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Working close together, Ovnimoon (Ovnimoon Rec.) and Dr. Spook (Geomagnetic.TV & Co) decided to release a more mythological compilation of feathered-serpents and it’s myth consisted in the South-American region. The Quetzalcoatl was related to gods of the wind, of Venus, of the dawn, of merchants and of arts, crafts and knowledge. Where this mythological figure comes into the sounds and vibes selected to become this release I’m not sure. But I am sure it’s connections are in here somewhere, or else they would never have named their compilation ‘The Return of Quetzalcoatl’, right? Ovnimoon & Dr. Spook - The Return Of Quetzalcoatl (Ovnimoon Records, Goa Records, Morning Star, Geomagnetic.TV) 2010 (OVNICD004) 01 PsiloCybian - Roses And Lollipops 7:19 02 Man Machine - Spiceuppers (MM Codex Remix) 8:20 03 Prosonik - The Desert Of The Real 8:01 04 Jirah - The Return (Imix Remix) 7:56 05 DNA - Signal 5 7:09 06 01N* - Melusine 9:51 07 Frost-RAVEN - Alien Contact 8:07 08 UnknownSources - Cyberbaba 7:00 09 Leenuz - Somntuta 7:41 10 Rigel - Alien Artifact 8:12 As I believe, a lot of these godly mythological figures were created by people wanting some strain and control of certain people or tribes and the myth grew far beyond its intended area. The myth was most probably invented to hide a part of the jungle so that people would be too scared to venture in there or to have a good laugh; either way it was mostly about control though there might have been some myths that had its life sparks in some truth. Usually myths take on their own life and people will create meanings and stories around it to make it fit into their world view. We are not that hard to fool with myths and religions, it’s been done for centuries; it’s only now that some myths are becoming factual and religions are being cast out as utter crap and scam to keep us under gridlocked control and enslaved patterns. 1 ** Ok tune with some slow steam. 2 *** Super nice trance flow with a Full-On approach though becomes generic too fast. 3 **** Nice intro, been a while since I heard a Matrix sample. Déjà vu usually happens when something is changed. Well, I have like at least 3 Déjà vu’s per week. Guess my life is changing all the time, for the better I would hope. The track has some nice drive and light melodic touches which brings it to clarity. 4 ***begins with a deeper dub bass-line that builds the intro swooshing it into trance land. Nice euphoric track with familiar choruses coming and going to raise the spirit and stark power lines roughening up the sensation. 5 ** More or less typical Full-On with electric vibes and a nifty drive. Utterly boring. 6 *** Creepy intro with sneaking bass and kick. Track has a beautiful harmony sliding behind the beats and builds nicely only to become fetched inside a Full-On land of EuroTrance melodic vibes. Nice and light, euphoric and high. As half the track is done the sound image becomes phatter and richer in texture, lifting it up. 7 ***** Nice nice nice! Another Frost-RAVEN track I got to say that this producer is becoming one of my absolute favorite artists to keep an ear on. He has such charm in his style and emotion; he truly possesses some of that magic which a lot of acts out there are totally missing. This is a person who is heavily influenced and inspired by a lot of good ol’ acts and tries his best to both mimic and personalize the sounds into his own style and vision. Beautiful track, very much with own Progressive PsyTrance beat. If you like Infected Mushroom with their Troll sounds of the past, I highly recommend you to check out his album ‘The Olde Ones’ released on Geomagnetic.TV. Mind you, this artist is capable of making some interstellar Goatrance as well as floating ambient. So keep this name in mind, for the future is bright with this one. This is a track from his Body Snatcher EP (http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/60457-frost-raven-body-snatcher-ep), but unfortunately it’s not the best track of it. 8 **** This track keeps up the high smile from the previous one and makes me think that maybe it’s all star shine from here on after a weak start on the compilation. This is a driving track with some nice electro groove while flying nicely. Effects in the background make it into a disturbing yet pleasant journey and the drive is staggering. Too bad it doesn’t really go anywhere, far. 9 *** More rugged bass lines, squeaking sound effects and a nice and calm drive. Nice and sluggish. Very calm and soft. 10 ***** Running now, faster than ever before on this release. Nice steam and cool effects by its side. One of the cooler tracks on this compilation because of its phase and groove. Very awesome cute and bleeping sound FX’s, makes me grind! Recommendation: When I first saw this album and only recognizing a couple of names (DNA should have been a warning), I thought that this would be a darker psychedelic trance album then what it is. It’s basically a handful of generic and to the edge of empty Full-On tracks with the rest being more or less interesting psychedelic trance tracks with a smile. So it evolves from the first track of mediocrity to become an interesting release of curiosity. So if you’re into generic Full-On, this is a must. If you’re looking for some interesting outputs with psychedelic charm, this is also for you. But I would recommend listening to the samples before purchasing because the overall energy in most tracks might put you off feeling empty.
