This has to be one of the finest or possibly the best ever Goa trance albums to be released very few albums in this genre manage to pull off what the green nuns have done here which is 8 tracks of the maddest acid infested!! Trance available track 2 reminds me of public domains operation blade incidentally they probably sampled there hit from the green nuns,i prefer the unadulterated version here every track keeps you interested since i managed to get a brand new copy on the novatekk label i cant put it down it gets rinsed at least 3 times a day a lot of people like the Pleiadians - I.F.O. (Identified Flying Object)
but this is more twisted whats also notable is there unique sound really punchie gimmicky in your face psychedelic trance paying homage to the Roland TB303 acid sound also most of there tunes our very dark and heavy not for the subdutle, check out the ring of fire(eat static remix) on the singularity compilation they do quite a good job obviously nowhere near as good as the original but its worth a listen also checkout the green nuns remix of prana's "scarab".Widely regarded as there best track/remix every think these guys have produced is supreme quite often when i listen to some of there remix work i come to the conclusion that all there remixes our better than the originals themselves,althou short lived there material still rules many a dance floor,it would be very difficult to pick the best track because there all exceptionally good but if i had to i would pick conflict for its pure acid trance sound, i cant recommend this album enough it would of been nice to see there other track "Megallenic cloud" included here which is another awesome acid meets trance banger i have played this album to people who dont even like trance they were taken aback by how good it sounded if you cant wait to hear it go to flyingrhino.com and listen in mp3 format considerimg they only released this album they have left a major legancy on account of this one album release which propeled them to the forfront of the goa scene i have never heard nothing that even comes close to sounding like them they represent goa to the core green nuns i salute you!!!!!True innovators.No one has matched them to date.

This trio with this curious name was amongst the foremost artists in the heyday of goa. Soon this act became famous for their full-on, mad & fast acid infected trance. This unfortunately short lived act gave us only one full length album. Here are eight tracks which will make you play this album over and over again the first time you hear it, or at least this is what happened to me.

Album starts with the track Cor! Sleeve says it’s an unreleased edit, but from what I can hear it’s the same as on Tip Singles which presumably was released before this album. Then comes Thunder Thighs, and after one of their most famous singles “Conflict”. This appeared as a single on TIP together with Cor in 1995. Next comes “Octofunk”, a lesser acidic and somewhat less intense tune which has some funky melody indeed. Album continues with another super hit, “Ring Of Fire”. Originally this came out on the The Afterburner EP on the same Flying Rhino in 1995. After this comes “Klunk”, a track which samples voices from the Wacky Races cartoon. Gotta love the way the voice samples are used randomly :) Next comes “Rock Bitch”. This track can be found as a radio edit on the super wanted “Green Nunions EP” in 1998, which is sadly their last release. Here however comes in full length version as had appeared on a couple of compilations before.

The last track however is the biggest surprise. Originally named just “Atomic Armadillo” on the compilation “Boyd In The Void” on Flying Rhino in 1995, here it re-appears twice as long as originally and is half full-on and half downtempo! It closes this album in great style.

A masterpiece of an album that today’s artist only dream of doing!
