Notes

Rest of the Rhino Daze - the Missing, the Unreleased and a Coupla Classics

From inside cover:

Here's a collection of toonz that mostly never made their way to daylight (Well, they certainly did at a few parties!)

1. Was scheduled for the last Bus album but didn't quite make it
2. Was slated for a Dragonfly comp back in 2000 but was held off for inclusion on the never-to-be Bus album 'Your Body Is Your Nightclub'
3. Was intended for a Creamcrop compilation before they went under
4. Just never quite knew what to do with this one...
5. Recorded at Simon Polinski's in Melbourne and originally scheduled for the original Bus album too
6. Recorded in beautiful downtown Helsinki with the inimitable Texas Faggots
7. Recorded at Flying Rhino '99. A remix off this track appeared as "Emotion Surfer" by Cass as I wasn't too keen on it. Wished somebody had warned me it was going to be released, but it did sell well!
8. Mudless should be on the 'Best Of-'. My favourite track with James
9. ......and the last track I released on Flying Rhino

Tracks 1 to 7 'Unreleased'

Mastered / Remastered at Laundry Goat Studio - Melbourne, Australia.

Rated 5/5
Review by maroko May 19, 2008
I am not usually much of a progressive psy trance follower, but my, this is on a whole new level when compared to your typical release of the style. Furthermore, it's a collection of unreleased material by the old school legend, Gus Till, but despite the apparent random factor, the whole thing flows better than most album I've had the opportunity to listen to lately.

I'm astounded by the juicyness of these tracks. Fat, deep and opulent bass lines, with driving and infectious layers of sound being added and subtracted from track to track, sparkled with throbbing drum kicks, long intros & outros, with a distinct macabre atmosphere present throughout the album. It's material which works equally well on parties while maintaining its home tripping potential. Play it loud either on a pair of high quality headphones or a great speaker system and you'll feel the sheer power of Gus Till's production techniques.

All tracks have been additionally remastered under Gus' supervision, and with a brief history of each track on the back of the digipak, modern psy trance does not come by this good that often. Trust me on this one: by the ending of your first listen you'll be pretty much confident that most of your recent psy orientated purchases have been futile. OK, I am exaggerating, but this is fantastic music. It's a goldfish swimming in a sea of dull planktons.
