Latest Music Reviews:
Underhead / MK-Ultra - Orojuna / Shivarathri / Ouverture - maroko
Underheads Orojuna runs on way beyond its welcome. Its an OK track, but it takes way too long to build, with not much to capture your attention in the process. But then again, the lead melody, while sounding heavily dated, partially rescues the track, although it all goes on for too long. After around seven minutes, there is the "compulsory" grand break down, followed by a build up consisting of the heavy lead, rising percussion and acid bleeps. It all comes around to a pretty effective, yet standard finale where youve been given something you have witnessed get done a thousand times before. While it is a good track, my opinion is that it would have been more effective if it didnt take more than seven minutes for the music to really take off.
MK-Ultra decapitated my mood. And my speaker system. Ouverture is luckily only a three minute piece of pointless ambience with vague percussion (read: regular skip), which doesnt last long enough to really grab you, so I dont really see the point here.
Shivarathri is a cheese factory like no other you have encountered. I mean, if that lead melody hasnt been stolen from the end titles theme from the Nintdo version of Fifa 93, then I dont know what. It actually gets worse. At 04:30 there is something which to me sounds like an attempt of creating freely floating melodies. So is my body. Freely floating while being hung feet up head down, that is. God, I avoid being negative in my comments, but these MK guys ought to riddle their studio with AK-47 shots, on the double please.
Worth giving a shot only for the Underhead tune, if for nothing else, then because this vinyl is the only place where you can find it. But, will the world come down tumbling on your dread locks if you somehow manage not getting your hands on this? The answer is: hell no it wont. |
Ketha Minh - Unconscious - maroko
This is one of Tunnel Records most glorious missteps. Apart from the title track, which is quite interesting, the rest of this three tracker is instantly forgettable.
So, Unconscious, has this groovy bass line and a beat which allows it to slowly unfold and roll along very nicely. It has these psychedelic sounds coming from all over and there is a haunting voice added in to great effect as well. Four minutes into the track, this cool lead is thrown in the mix, with some acid synths as well. The most memorable part is around the seven minute mark when the music tricks you into believing how the track is about to end because everything is about to fade out, but then Sascha Pragal pulls the drum rolls back in for another two minutes of dance floor pleasure!
The B side has Parity Boot which is just about as unfocused and trivial as goa trance has gotten back then. No effort put into the track at all. Just a bunch of breaks, little irritating piercing melodies coming out of everywhere and going nowhere. The beat is unbearable though. It actually succeeds in sounding so bad that it is absolutely impossible to dance to, and it is just way too bleak for my ears to listen to it at home. To make it all worse, no other element in this track compensates for the lack in the percussion departement.
B2 I cannot be bothered to comment on. All I am going to say is that it combines extremely cheesy guitar riffs with those annoying shiva mantra monk chants samples at around 02:45. There is no rescue from there on. The lead melody is not as atrocious, if it were on its own, some credibility might have been saved. But, when you have a lead couple with chanting monks and Europe (as in The Final Countdown) electric guitar riffs, you better press the stop button. |
Aslyn - Lemon Love - deadevil13
Oh My God, what an awesome singer/songwriter Aslyn is!
She was such a breath of fresh air for me, never do we get such good pop artists like her over here in the United Kingdom, let alone get into our charts. Shes got such a powerful voice, with some really beautiful lyrics and her piano playing skills are just as beautiful. After finding her song Be The Girl, on the Derailed OST - i fell in love with her voice, and so did anyone else who heard her - so i thought id give her album a listen and by god, its good. A must for anyone who wants something different. |
Funkopath - Skwirm - maroko
If you are on of them guilty parties who can appreciate a dose of experiment in their goa trance, or if your nerves allow you to listen through two tracks of psy trance orientated which breaks away from the 4/4 pattern, you may be in for a treat here.
Break beats, no linear patterns or structures, but very unpredictable music, with funny samples and quirky melodies. Not something Id regulary dance to, but stuff along these lines can have you tripping all over the dance podium!
Skweel can be compared to some Eat Static tracks, due to its percussion and the variety of sudden twists and turns it takes, with unannounced changes in pace, mood and sound effects. Very creative and hella different from most stuff released throughout the scene back then.
While this may not really be my cup of tea, "Skwirm" remains a great release, full of nice and unexpected treats. If you are a fan of breakbeat in goa trance, rest assured this is one of the best 12 I am aware of which combines the two style to such a great effect. The end result in nothing short of impressive.
Worth checking out, even if you are not a breakbeat head, like me. |
Endora - Joy E.P. - maroko
Joy, the most known track of the three is where its at. Great break beat drive track with really spiralling lead melodies and fidgety acid synths. It never stops, its just like it builds and builds over and over again, letting the acid steadily drop, and sweep you off your feet. Its a fairly simple tune actually, but done well. The melody work is, most importantly, very harmonic and catchy, and coupled with great broken beats and loads of memorable acid, its a sure shot.
The flip side has Macrosoopix, which has great use of acid leads, which absolutely dominate the entire track. On the down side, apart from the amazing 303s, not much else impresses me here. Basically, the gaps between the acid driven parts of the tracks are boring. Once that amazing, juicy lead is dropped, everything else just fades out in front of my eyes. Repetitve, hypnotic and very melodic two minutes long final climax, typical of early Boris Blenn style brings the track to its end. Good, though not as effective as the A side.
B2 has Fusionium, which I dont like at all. Its a pure break beat track with long passages of practically nothing going on, and the lead is this piano played melody which I dont fancy. Sounds pretty uninspiring, and towards the end of the track, theres this intrusion of acid synths, which are, at best lame when and if compared to those of the previous tracks. |
Amtinaoüs - Araxia (Remix) / Trip On Nexus - maroko
Cant really share the appreciation of the previous reviewer here. The A side has this long intro after which a somewhat interesting, semi break beatish percussion is introduced, but what kills it for me is this unbearable melody which sounds as if it was made on two guitar strings. And it gets on your nerves fast, especially because once it enters, it never leaves. So for approximately five minutes youve got nothing but bleak arrangements and a hardly tolerable lead melody. Compared to most goa trance anno 1997, this is forgettable.
Trip On Nexus, the B side track, is a tad more interesting, venturing into (as already stated) downtempo waters, with traces of trance pads and soft melodies, with broken beats. Nothing to change your perception of psychedelic trance music, it is a worth while listen. And make that one listen. There has been break beat goa trance far better than this around the time (Boris Blenn, Funkopath, Endora, Somaton, Synchro), far better than this.
Final verdict: must have it all collectors ought to buy this regardless of what I write, while the rest of you should pick it up if you see it used in the 50 cent bargain bin. There are many great and truly neglected 12 from the hey day of goa trance, I suggest you head for those first. |
Jeff Mills - Kat Moda EP - oliviervdroo
Jeff Mills is indeed a genius. But it is rather unfortunate that "the bells" has come to be his signature track. It doesnt even closely resemble his other work which is far more ground breaking than "the bells". Jeff Mills is deep, "the bells" on the contrary is as shallow as his work gets. Its more of an attempt to dig into Europes craze for the hypnotic trancy stuff than a testament to Detroits soul. |
Thomas Köner - La Barca - Karlman
to keep to a minimal amount of words necessary...la barca is perhaps his best work...i have every album and was not expecting this work...it is a progression...those who wait are rewarded...here it is proven...just beautiful... |
N-Dubz - Uncle B - boomting
I honestly think that this album; Uncle B by N-Dubz is absolutely fantsatic and is a regardless, Must Have.I myself is a N-Dubz fan and supporter who has already bought there albums. Because when i say albums i mean there new album; Against All Odds.There new album is absolutely terrific there expression for life is so truthful and fact.I listened to 1 song in perticular in the album; Against All Odds.Shoulda Put Something on talks about young Teenage girls getting pregnant and the biological father jus leaving her and the unborn child alone which is sad..
But thank you for reading my review and hopfully will open your mind for N-Dubz Songs

Various - Hey Boy, Hey Girl (Soulwax Remix) - hoozn
I originally bought this vinyl because of the "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" Remix which is in general a nicely done and banging edit of the Chemical Brothers classic tune. But after listening to it at home for a couple of times I started to find the very long breakdown that makes up the largest part of the track slightly annoying.
Fortunately the B-Side of this vinyl is very decent and basically the main reason behind my 4/5 rating:
The "Untitled" track is a mixture of contemporary electro house synthesizer sounds and oldskoolish hi-hat rhythms, while "My Joy" is a catchy, funky house tune with slightly distorted vocals that make the whole track sound a bit like one of the late 90s (Chicago) house classics. |
