As it's released by Ektoplazm, it is also free, which is nice. It is downtempo/psychill. So, now lets get to the reveiwing: Track 1: Liquid Wonderment This was a wonderful start to the complation. It is my new favorite mellow song. I love the chimes(the main lead for half of the song). It has a glitch spin on it, and the drums have kind of a grove on it. The second half of the song, there is more of you typical baseline synth lead, and it still sounds good. Not your typical psytrance song though, there is no rolling baseline, ect. Track 2: Mycolinguistic (Sigil Remix) A nice song to, for some reason it reminds me of Infected Mushrooms Drop Out off of their Converthing Vegetarians Album. It says 154BPM, but it doesn't feel like it's that fast AT ALL. Also a very good song. Track 3: Coming Up In The Elevator Don't really like this song, I feel it sounds cheesy. Track 4: Crystalline Refinement A half good song, repeats it self a lot, and I don't really like the baseline. Track 5: Apparition Has a Shpongle feel. Very nice song, but hard to describe. Track 6: Trio Break Space Zone See Track 4. Track 7: Hipstrap Same as 6 Track 8: Tilt Also a Shpongly feel,nice and groovy. Track 9: Inner Flame Kind of Space Music. Could go both ways on this one, if I like it or not. Track 10: Exobiology The begining of the song is slow, but after 1:30 through, things pick up. I feel like the baseline ruins it, and doesn't really add anything. Track 11: External Encounters Very atmospheric track, me like. Could fall asleep to it. The guitar also gives it a Shpongly feel. Track 12: Nootropic Stack More ambeint then psychill. Still, is a well done track. Track 13: Konduit Starts very glitchy... This song is nice, and has a good beat. Track 14: Serpantine This is a nice finishing track. Feels more like Aphex Twin though, more ambient house. The vocals are a little weird though. Well, I liked this complation. The first track is the best according to me... Hope you enjoyed the reveiw, and this is my first, so if I screwed anything up, please point it out!!!

Bill Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wolfen Technologies have really impressed me with their releases on Ektoplazm, everything I have heard has been top-notch. "External Encounters" on this compilation is definitely one of my favorites by him. I remember really enjoying the JP Illusion vs Waveform track, if I remember correctly it was a very, very pleasant journey. Just to point out an error, you listed "Coming Up In The Elevator" as track 3 & 4 in your review. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
