Not for the weak at heart.
First off, I know this came out last year and I often find myself perplexed on how to exactly "review" a compilation. We're talking about 10 different artists with 10 different tracks. So how do I go about it? Well, I usually refrain from such things but as summer approached I found myself playing out ALOT. Each time I find myself dipping into that compilation. So (in desperate need to do more reviews), I choose this compilation.

By far the strongest track in this comp is Electrypnose - Rumicube. For those familiar with dark psytrance, you know this name all too well. It is indeed what you'd expect from them. Dark and twisted synthlines interlaced and entangled over a almost industrial sounding bassline. The kick drum (like most of the genre) is slammin'. I certainly would recommend this to the kiddies, it might (and does) scare people.

My second favorite track is Lab - Carnaval. This track has a more broody feel to it. A mysterious darkness that lurks in the corner of your psyche. Like the boogieman or the closet-monster of your childhood days. You keep having to tell yourself that it's all in your head. But the reality is that it isn't. I've seen other tracks from them on dj's playlists before. But I don't have much to compare. Let it be known, though, that this is definitely some dark and danky psykotrance.

The overall compilation is very good. The only problem lies in that which is common of many compilations. It doesn't deviate much from it's intent. What you see is indeed what you get. Not alot of fluff and filler. No dark goa. No progressive anything. Simply deep down and dirty psytrance from the Canadian label.

If you're into dark and twisted psy. Definitely pick this up. You can download it directly from the record label in 320kbps quality. Enjoy. - Twisted , posted 07/04/07
