Various - Psy Stories III

Gob smacking trip tales pt. 3

Psy Stories 3 is the 13th (oo-er!) release by Danish underground psytrance outfit Parvati Records – and the final instalment in the Psy Stories trilogy. The first one, released in October 2005, was a masterpiece and still holds the position as the seminal Parvati release. The follow-up, released in June 2006, was a real whirlwind too and was *almost* as good… Great, great stuff all together, so yeah, I’ve been jumping around in concentric circles ever since this third opus was announced. Sadly it’s also the last in the series, but hey, I’m sure more Parvarti madness awaits so I’m only frowning for a sec… Enough jabbering, it’s story time.

Well there you have it. The final instalment in the gob smacking Psy Stories trilogy. As we’ve come to expect, Parvati always delivers the goods in the shape of relentlessly powerful hypertrance. This is another collection of mostly fiiiiiiiine tracks by some of the underground front-runners. Sure a couple of the tracks were a little too complex for me, but as always, they were easily outweighed by the abundance of really excellent choons.

In comparison, the first Psy Stories compilation is still the best, but this second one is pretty damn cracking too. The cover art by Betinna Butann is a winner in all its kitchy glory and I still find myself amazed by the seemingly bottomless pool of sheer mass which Parvati Records seems to have unlimited access to.

TwiBBle fums up to Guiseppe & Crew for their continued quest to cater to the masses. Hypertrance fans and members of the Parvati Army in particular needs to own this bitchin’ piece of plastic. It’s underground Top Of The Pops. It’s sick, soulful and totally sexy! It’s complete qwnage. Enjoy!
