MDMA's first compilation, and they deliver us a great combination of Israeli and European trance. Full on party stuff, arranged beautifully by DJ Dede- a real energetic trip.
Are We Happy? (T1) opens this CD with force- another well built stormer from Xerox & Freeman. This duo is doing their thing with hard driven bass lines and rock guitars, and the anticipated massive build up that keeps working. A very massive and intense track. Must be said though, that this formula needs refreshing. Before you can recover you get Cosmic Navigators' The First Tour (T2)- this is a special team up between Itzik Benisty (Sonichaos, Maskalin) and DJ Dede, a relentless piece, a very emotional full on track with grinding guitar like lines and a great build up- our favorite here.Follows Sinergy Thrill (T3) from Tarsis & DJ Kaya- a melodic track with nice psychedelica and a real happy atmosphere- nothing special really. Tim Shuldt's The Next (T4) is a great track, and already a proven party hit, an oriental melody accompanying a grinding beat- fullpower! After that Xerox & Freemen return with a remix to Cellurian (T5). The original opened Psychedelic Krembo 2 and caused a lot of mayhem around. Here is a new remix full with psychedelic breakbeats merged with tribal grooves- very funky stuff.
Track 6, Lagoon's Green Light (live mix) written by Christof (Absolum, Transwave) is a bouncer, slowly evolving into a full on groove, with a lot of spacey sound and effects flying around- very groovy and trippy at the same time. This is a track that grows on you, give it a few listens and volume. Trust us. Nucleus's Dark Horse (T7) is here for the first time in CD format. This promising English team delivers a low BPM psycho-killer. A track with a punch!!! It starts with a great entrance followed by some nice spooky FX, together with a pumping baseline and well timed beatbreakes- excellent for night driving or raving. Staying true to the local vibe, comes Polynesian Lion by Talamasca (T8). This track is an early classic from the French team-supreme. A very flowing, melodic, uplifting track that can well turn a party over if played at the right moment. |
