Kfir Lankry & Didi Ezra both 19 years old, are Bizzare Contact & deliver us 9 fresh, sunny & happy full on tracks.

 

First remark, the ability of the guys cooking someting that don’t look like from one to another in their build up, with catching melodies.

 

Second would be a well established sound territory with personnal leads & a quite large use of sounds. There’s only one link to all these 9 productions, an expressive happy party feeling mixed with some kinda outdoor atmosphere. Indeed, something that can make you say about an unknown track ‘hey it’s Bizarre Contact alike’

 

Third is about the overall high quality level encountered through the whole album.

 

So now just short words through tracks :

 

Love Simulation got a brisk melody untill 3’45 break, time of deep women voices constrating with bouncing sharpy siren new melodic lead, a shrill sound that automatically wake up your eardrums & the rest by the way.

 

Run Away starts direct with this main lead attraction & will come back later on for the peaktime of the track after the 3 ’50 break. This lead is strange half made scary & other half happy sounding then evolves weirder with huge hacked fx on it.

 

 

Drop it is one of those typical production that i call ‘diesel’, long very long put into orbit. Around 2’20 you will get into a more mysterious soundind part of the track up to the ‘ladies & gentleman’ samples where appears soft slight sour tones. Second ‘ladies & gentleman’, new changing atmosphere : mischievous lead melody is associated with a funny gimmick in the background.

 

Horizon is the boisterous, stomper tune of the album, a bit old goa flavoured according to me in a Oforia spirit (Maximiser, Visitors, Solar), big nice focus on power stuff here.

 

Plastic Fantastic c’est une basse déferlante avec une mélodie assurée par un son dégueulindo (yoyo) donc un démarrage sur les chapeaux de roue. Sinon à signaler une profusion de sons tout du long, et des variations dans la ligne de basse, globalement un titre très dense avec un final avec une mélodie mis en volume par 2-3 leads simultanés et différents.

 

Twisted has very metallic hithat bordeline with saturation, in the background you can check lots of freaky sounds. The bassline changes of tone. There’s a long filtered break around 5’00. The result is rougher to me & bit less happy, i enjoy it less than all the other productions.

 

‘Stop’ is the sample gimmick of Can’t Stop, there’s a funny shrill scream which could also have resultated from a electronic machine & many others little soft weird industrial tones embellish the background. Then the track bolts in 2 step, first one at 4’20 where the melody gets underlined by several sounds, second one at 6’30 when Bizarre Contact definativly loose control in aid of electronic machines taking power for kicking them outside their studio in order to groove freely on the final part of Can’t Stop; what ungrateful equipement.

 

Second collaboration with Nameless, for a speed groovy & changing bassline, supported by violin (at 2’40). After 6’00 one of the lead gets extremely shrill & agressive, global result for me a bit under tha average of the album.

 

Creative World rocks & is fill within by purring filtered sounds confering a highly state of happyness feeling. I can’t explain really why but i imagine people having a spring very outdoor party when i listen to it.

 

It’ll be very difficult to pick up some highlights from this album as so many tracks are good.

So today, here what i would say, probably another day in another i would say something else :

 

Highlights by order :4,5,2,9,1

 

Favoris :1,2,4,5,7,9

 

8,5/10 recommended for all happy people
