More than ever, trancemusic is developing in different directions and the only limit to what kind of influences you may have is originality from being a quite narrow road, the music is today speading wider and wider circles on the sea of elektronika and a missionairy job is also done in broadening the minds of the already hooked, towards other genres.
We feast upon this fact as it is our vision with bajuns records and this compilation is a sonic blueprint of this vision. Listen, loose it and most important....Enjoy!

Rated 2/5

Review by SkeletonMan Jun 04, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

Well, here's a release nominated as practically the release of the millenium. Just goes to show taste differs :o)

This is minimal, alright, but not getting to me hard. Not that the tracks fail miserably in any way, sure, but over all I find that the tracks doesn't deliver either. They just stay deep without a reward in the end. It's one long suspense and I would have liked to see a little more developing in the tracks.

Still, put on at the VERY right hour, where minimal Atmos inspired music is the keyword, Otherwise might do the trick. Perhaps not for 70 minutes then, but Zombie Assassin and Twisted Psychedelic Freedomfighters does have their charm for a 6 something minutes deep inner voyage.

Rated 5/5

This rocks!

Baluns Records is a division of the MPDQX/Digital Structures label group, and that's always a sign of quality. I have listened to this A LOT since I got it back in 2001. And it has stood the test of time - I still put this one when I want to get a smile on my face.

This has got to be some of the most intelligent, insane [Ehh.. slight contradiction! *s*], mind-blowing, ass-moving, foot-stomping progressive minimal trance I have heard in a LONG time. Daaaaaaaaaaaamn!. I can't believe this. It's sounds silly, but seriously there isn't a single bad track on this compilation!

Go get this MASTERPIECE right now and listen for yourself and turn the volume to max. I guarantee you - you will not be disappointed!

When this came out the market was swamped with minimal tunes and I was kinda fed up - but this release changed that... Best track is without doubt Holy Ghost - Zombie Assassin, but all tracks are brilliant! Cutting edge cover-art too. Thanx so much Muellart & Henriksson for making this jewel! As the cover notes suggests: Listen, Loose it & Enjoy! 9.5/10
