Alright Ooze is back . Ooze has been one of my favorite ambient artist over the years. His release "Where The Fields Never End" released in 2001 was imo a big hit. There was not much psy ambient talent compared to nowdays so I experienced this release as a milestone together with sphongle, asura etc... The simplicity of this album is marvelous. Ooze doesn't use many layers, overloaded effects to create a psychedelic journey. It has a tribal/organic feeling. It's not emotional but more trippy. He uses this main melody pattern that's so simple but convincing. He puts his sounds in a funny way that make me smile (still). The atmosphere is not cheesy at all but takes you in a relaxing journey. It keeps me busy but doesn't surprise me (explode). It's typical for ambient from that time period that the baseline thrives doof at the background. When I looked further a got a bit disappointing. The first cd is just the same album and I don't even know if it's remastered. It sounds the same to my ears and I already have it. So no new ooze tracks here The album was good mastered in 2001 so It didn't need a new tint imo. But still it's good that it's again for sale for people that never heard of Ooze. Although this album is from 2001 it can perfectly content with todays psy ambient. If you are an ambient fan and never heard of this album, get this. You won't be disappointed. Off course, it's reviewed on pysnews back then. http://www.psynews.o...nd/#entry483474 The second cd are all remixes from other artists, the same tracks from "Where The Fields Never End". And they do sound the same. They are bit more sophisticated, added some sounds, and tinted like nowdays ambient. But imo nothing special to my ears. Some tracks are even double remixed, so... I prefer the original tracks... I have mixed feelings. It's not bad, but It's hard to see the gain or profit once and while. Maybe It will grow on me later after some years (It wouldn't be the first time that happened). But I was soooooo hoping for a new Ooze Duality and conclusion. Ooze fans, don't expect something new or groundbreaking I guess. Ambient (new) fans, go for it, you'll love it... Concise review and my 2 cents!
