Abomination (2) - Enemy Within

Abhorrence…

The Abomination duo consists of Saar Davidov & Eyal Gershon from Raanana in Israel. Before this, their debut album, they’ve appeared on lots of compilations on mostly South African labels… I haven’t heard much of their stuff, but this album got some really positive reviews when it was released… Here’s my take on it…

This is a nice album with more than a few great tracks. A couple of the tracks didn’t go down with me as well as I’d hoped for, but as a whole the album is nowhere near the majority of boring, predictable neo full-on albums coming out of Israel nowadays.

In fact most of it sounds like the powerful, raging mad psytrance we know from South African labels – with the added full-on spice from that the guys Israeli heritage is bound to leave. So it’s the best of both worlds really. I’m not a fan of modern Israeli full-on, but when it’s packed like this I start to gain interest again. Another thing I noticed was how incredibly well-produced the album is – every single second is crystal clear extremely well thought out… I can even begin to imagine just how much work went into it… Impressive!

Fans of South African psytrance with a big splash of Israeli full-on will most definitely dig this – as will fans of energetic, melodic-slash-edgy dancefloor trance… It might not be a masterpiece, but it’s a little gem in its own right. Enjoy!
