Reviews & Discussion
The best of the full-on genre! VoC give it full power and plenty of humor as well. All songs are high BPM and full of energy. There are so many layers to this album, that I keep hearing something new each time I listen to it.
"Just a Ride" is a top notch floor burner.
"Just a Ride" is a top notch floor burner.
More than decent full on with a funky edge and still highly psychedelic. VoC has a very mature sound also, this is no simple dancefloor material like everyhing else seems to be on the full on side of psytrance. There's something for everyone, a little bit of morning sound, some tracks with a darker feel. Definetly something all the psytrance lovers should try out.
Cod almighty!
Organic Records strikes gold again! This time it’s the most anticipated and heavily hyped debut album by the dynamic duo Voice Of Cod from the UK… These guys shouldn’t need any further introduction, but oh what the hell, here I go anyway… Colin Bennun has been in the game longer than Goa Gil – his credentials include membership in famous acts like O.O.O.D., Unconscious Collective, Benefactor and Rotatum… To put it short, he’s a big shot! The other half is Mr. Andrew Humphries – Organic Records big cheese: A&R and DJ… We’re dealing with trance royalty here!
These guys hooked up in 2003 and since then they’ve graced us with a number of kick-ass tracks released mainly on UK labels… Every time I’ve reviewed a compilation with a VoC choon on it – it has been a stand-out track… So the level of quality consistency is really high with these guys – and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this album ever since it was announced… It’s hitting the stores a couple of weeks from now – let me give you the low-down on what to expect…
There is no doubt in my mind – this is the best album I’ve heard so far in 2005! And I’ve heard quite a few – including the Shpongle album! There’s not a single dull second here – high quality all the way through! In the words of the green nun Dick Trevor; ‘Fuckin’ aay! Awesome!’… That’s right; this is the shiznitz – an essential album for any trancer! People have bashed the cover-art, but I really like it in all its simplicity… Bow wow wow!
Everything reeks quality here – and we can thank the Codsters for that… They kept the VoC quality control inspector happy by keeping as much work as possible in-house: Andrew did the website; the album was mastered in the Stooodio by Colin and the artwork was also designed in the Stooodio by Colin along with the promotional flyers, stickers and magazine adverts…. And the effort has paid off – this is simply an amazing package! Enough babbling from me now… This is an instant classic! Start saving up – it’s essential for any fan of electronic music! Enjoy!
Favourites: 1(!), 2, 3, 4(!), 5, 6(!), 7, 8, 9 That’s all of ‘em!

Perhaps it's too neat for my taste. The British polishing is very detectable here and it sounds as if every note has been considered. A little more craziness and naughtiness would have suited my ears. Some added psychedelic FX here and there to provide edge. Still, for homelistening it provides a ride. On the dancefloor I prefer a little more craziness, and beforehand I can only label Misinfotainment (NICE bass and FX) as one track that definitely would set me off on the dancefloors. The remainder? Well, ...
