This simply is a magical compilation. Twisted and deep soundscapes throughout the entire album... I know for sure you can't compare this album to other ones. It's like bubbles of brainblood squashing open inside your head!!!! And as I heard, I think this album realy is being underestimated. You can't imagine how much fun I had listening to this album for the first time. Big feelings of respect, tears and appreciation!! The true twisted fucks within the gigantic group of discogsgoaheads :) will agree with me that Frank and Ian realy delivered a masterpiece with their track 'psychopod' and that it fits well next to these other ones. Excellent compiling work they delivered here... It goes without saying that in this time the qualities and craziness of producers like Hallucinogen and x-dream do not need an introduction anymore. We've got the Hallucinogen tracks on lots of cd's, but still it keeps on ruling the centre of the ultraverse within my vision. If you don't have this album, get it while you can and get yourself a respectboner x 1000 lol!!!
Rated 5/5

Track A "Psychopod" is the track this compilation is worth having for. It is the absolute goa-psychedelik flipout undercover-overdrive frenzy that will make you forget your legs and feet while your brain is doing joyful flic-flacs...dancing is the real drug!
We know X-Dream's and Hallucinogen's tracks for good but the Lysurgeon's Warning really has that pinch of psychedelic more than the original (which nevertheless will ever be the original).
Many of these tracks were/are available on 12"'s or other compilations (like e.g. "Sunrise" by "The Antidote" aka "Total Eclipse" which is almost long enough to be played as a perfect soundtrack for the "real" sunrise at your outdoor party).
The tracks that aren't available anywhere else (B2, D2, F1) are all excellent.

Probably the deepest and best compilations TIP put out, and with a sweet glow in the dark cover!
About half the tracks presented were previously available in simgles from TIP (Psychopod, Gamma Goblins, Panic In Paradise and Sunrise). The rest of it is good- pretty typical for the artists involved. The Doof track sound like quintessential Doof; and Alien Homes by Orichalcum is one of my favorites due to its deep psy- tech approach. The gems here are the Manmademan and Tristan track and the Soothsayer remix, both only released on "The Phoss". The Hallucinogen remix sounds absolutely nothing like the original- a rare invocation for psy artists.
All in all a good score to get, and from what I have seen it isn't too terribly hard to find.
