Rated 4/5
Review by maroko Jun 15, 2008
To a Flying Rhino Records collector this is far from essential, as it recollects easily available classics, which can be found on many other main artist albums and compilations.
However, for a casual old school goa trance follower, or anybody interested in taking a quick peek at what was the whole deal about with FRR, this is as good of a place to start as any.
"Singularity" is not as nearly as sought after and overpriced as most other compilations released by the label around at the time, but it perfectly encompasses the goanish period before they went all minimal and progressive.
The first five tracks are all, hands down, pure classics, but a special mention goes to Technossomy's deep and mystical Pyramid and Fluorostani Transcendance by Unconscious Collective (aka OOOD). Slinky Wizard delivers two tight melody & acid tingled bombs, Sheyba deliver another deeply emotional track with Ancient Lands (also known as the wolf track), Darshan drop Accelerator, which sounds more or less like anything they've released during '96-'98, and Sean Williams pulls a memorable dark, twisted and super psychedelic monster of a track with Internal Horizon.
"Singularity" is just what I said it was at the beginning: a great introduction to the label's initial phase, so I strongly recommend getting it to all those who have their doubts about venturing into finding and buying the highly impressive Flying Rhino back catalogue. It's a great place to start, and generally not that expensive either.
