No matter how good the tracklist might be here I really don’t like the flow on this compilation! All titles are either soft-faded or “perfectly” attached with each other without gap and the transition between most tracks is in my opinion not good. Classiest example is between Miranda’s and Killing Joke’s track – the change in mood is considerable. Also sound quality lacks a bit on most parts, at least on my copy. Mastering is not at par to other German compilations like Tantrance, Goa-Head and Pulse.
The best thing about this double CD is that you have the infamous Crop Circles’ Full Mental Jackpot in full glory. At 11 minutes and 27 seconds length I think this is the only CD compilation having the track unmixed and in full length with the exception of the very last very few seconds faded into Talamasca’s thundering sound of Jungle Storm. To top up that we find Etnica’s (most famous?) track Vimana on CD 2 and some other obscure and rare tracks from the likes of Tim Schuldt and Seti Project.
Worth having for the Crop Circles’ track alone, other than that I don’t consider this as a great release. Pity didn’t come with full-length gapped tracks though :-(
