Tsuyoshi Suzuki - Global PsyTrance - Matsurhythm

Judging from the opening three tracks you get the feeling Japan’s undisputably most famous psy Dj has missed the scene! Damn, this compilation is coming off to a flying start. Full on psytrance with goa twist spins these first tracks way up my ladder of appreciation. This is where the psytrance scene should be heading in my humble opinion and mixed as this cd comes it’s such a thrill to be onboard Tsuyoshi’s party plane. This quarter of the album would split my bones to atoms on the dance floor.

Likewise Goblin Fever, L Bit and Screaming People sticks to the full on formula with success. Great tracks even if they may not reach the heights of the opening three tracks.

Regrettably, Tsuyoshi has a fondness for guitars and that ruins my interest in several of the remaining tracks. Rezwalker, Dynamic and Deep Purple Haze are by no means without appeal but when psy tries to go cool with electric guitars you’ll see these bones fleeing the dance floor faster than a speeding bullet. Jikes … If you’re into Heavy Psy and follow Nine Inch Nail you should have a field day with Electric Feed, though.

Alas, this album ranges from pure bliss dancer to heart wreckening cancer. So to speak. I mean it’s hard to fathom it’s the same guy opening that closes with vocals and guitars on some updated 2 Unlimited track. Gruesome! Fortunately, the good tracks outweigh the weak and in my book this is still a safe purchase.

Oh, and welcome back :o)
