This is a piece which definitely stirs up the brainoffice and leaves prints all around. Even though not all tracks are bombs, the disc keeps a decent level of quality and with deliveries as those by Derango and Atriohm, one cannot do anything else but to smile. This disc should be a good choice for both DJs as well as record collectors, and there are moments woven into this piece that works absolutely great on the floor as well as to create a dreamy atmosphere in one's home.

Gob smacking trip tales pt. 2

Danish power house label Parvati Records is out with their 12th release following the brilliant debut album Mad Different Methods from Naked Tourist - which was released in January 2006. The first Psy Stories compilation was released in October 2005 – and what a release that was! It’s still rated as the BEST Parvati release in my book, so when it turned out to be a running series I was extremely ecstatic… When I saw the track list, there was no turning back – I creamed my pants! After I washed them, I received the CD, put it on and creamed them again… So now I’m wearing rubber undies writing this… Just in case…

Another fan-fucking-tastic Parvati release! That’s right, I might sound like the biggest whore around, but when it comes to Parvati there is never a dull moment or a mediocre release! This is top-drawer stuff from the leading label in hyper trance! And yes, that means more creamed pants!

It’s only natural to compare this with the first Psy Stories compilation – and after some careful consideration and judgement, I can conclude that Psy Stories 2 is *almost* as good as Psy Stories which wins only by a nose hair… But that one is gonna be VERY hard to top, as it’s definitely my fav’e Parvati release ever! Anyway, with only a couple of minor gripes, this compilation is packed with hard-hitting, gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping psytrance… Trippy as ever and totally danceable!

The cover art by Batunn is lovely, and whilst the parental advisory sticker gag perhaps is a little outdated, it doesn’t ruin the impression of another high quality Parvati release! Well done! An essential purchase for any dedicated fan of relentless, nocturnal and trippy psytrance… Nuff said! Enjoy!
