Trance2MoveU Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Artist: Dickster Title: Inebriatti Label: Nano Records Date: June, 2015 1. Bumbling Loons - Shimmer 2. Dickster & Hopi - Freeze the Cheese 3. Dickster & Master Blasters - Rawcous 4. AMD - For Those About To... 5. Dickster - Caffeinator 6. Dickster & Nigel - Psylonius Funk 7. Dickster & Earthling - Keep It Surreal 8. Dickster & Darshan - Decoder 9. Circuit Breakers - Nighty Night 10. Dickster & Space Tribe - Hack A Haka I know I pick on how bad Psyshop written promos can be, but c'mon man...you gotta do better than this. "Nano Records and Psyshop Music Distribution presents... a fantastic trance album from master class Artist 'Dickster'." That's it? That's not a promo it's a f*cking editorial. And a weak one at that. And what the hell happened to Nano Records? They used to be money, but nowadays it seems like their stuck in a f*cked up audio version of Groundhog day. It started with the subpar Laughing Buddha album and then continued with the been there done that Tristan Way of Life disc. This is an album of Dick Trevor's side projects, a compilation if you will, but he's involved in all the tracks. Let's see if it's three strikes and you're out. Yeah I like where this is going...Is what I said after the opening progressive trance track. It had all the elements to bring a smile to my face. But what began as a playful game of cat and mouse ended with a full-on nut punch. There is nothing here that we haven't heard a million times before. Like three day old birthday cake it's as stale as it could be. From Beavis and Butthead samples to the New Zealand All Blacks (I think that's what it is) chant this sh*t is tired. Doing the same thing over and over is the definition of insanity so ya'll must be crazy. Which is an insult to crazy people cause at least they're unpredictable. Sorry Nano...you out.

ishikawa Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 hehe this review cracked me up surprisingly enough, i have never really paid attention to dickster's stuff in particular - so this was in some ways my first really focused look at his music i quite liked it - nothing groundbreaking here, but i thought it had moments of full on meets foresty grooves which is not something i have heard from nano in the past my picks were vs master blasters - raucious - nice melody on this one vs space tribe - hack a haka - the samples and energy were super catchy vs nigel - Psylonius Funk - really put the forest groove vibe in my mind vs Earthling - Keep It Surreal - hard for me not to like anything with earthling involved in it hehe all in all to each his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyberhippie aka V!nc3 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Trance2MoveU hit this right on the head. As a South African, I've always held Nano records in high regard, up until about 2 years ago. One of the best things about Nano was that there was always the signature "Nano Sound", however, I feel that in striving for this unique sound that is Nano, they've gone and done the complete opposite. Instead of encouraging creativity, it's almost like Nano took every single ounce of creativity out of every single one of their artists and said "No! This is not how Nano sounds" and now, all fucking Nano shit sounds the same. It's the same boring fuckin drug samples, the same stale basslines etc. I actually wrote them a letter, complaining that they were in danger of losing a fan, but they probably wouldn't have given a shit anyway, so I tore the letter up, and they're still making shit music.

Paul Eye Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It's the same boring fuckin drug samples, the same stale basslines etc. Modern psy in a nutshell. (And that cover is really fugly.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goa constrictor Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Nano has been the new 3D Vision for years... since always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franki Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The ACDC sample in "For Those About To..." is enough to stop me buying this album. Besides that, there's nothing to excite. Heard it all before, done better. Shame, because I thought this was going to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Arts Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Psylonius Funk is a choon and half and so is Caffeinator, smashed the dancefloors in Goa and anywhere else. Like Shimmer as well, great to hear Bubling Loons coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I thought this was pretty good. 4, 7, 8 and 10 are top full-on imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
