Quadra (2) - Serotonia

SkeletonMan, Mar 14, 2006

Question: What do you do when your favourite full-on artist, Astrix, stops making the type of full-on you like after his debut album? Answer: Start looking around for other quality full-on artists! Altom showed up some time ago, Rinkadink recently, and now Quadra! Like full-on with a dark twist? The rolling bass and the energy, but not the cheesy elements so often accompanying? Then you wanna check out Quadras Serotonia.

Yep, Ive said so before in my reviews of full-on albums: When these starts challenging you with some dark influences, this music is so rewarding. Forget about difficult patterns and psychedelic sounds you have to decipher. Forget about funky, progressive basses, you have to appreciate. When full-on takes me on, it always has to do so full handed. You cant be almost pregnant, and I cant be ALMOST on the full-on wagon. I have to go all in. Well, Quadra is selling, and Im buying the full ticket here. Full on at its most exquisite, insisting, formula true, mind consuming self. And with a force here and there so freakingly strong it knocks me over. Check out for instance Epicycle at 4:53. If it needs to be done any more difficult than this, dont tell me when Im tripping ;o).

Rating this 4 or 5 stars is all a matter of how you rate. This album contains 9 full-on megablasters, but if you wanna be really picky, you might say theres not much new here. But who fucking cares when its so well carried out and so freaking pleasant to listen to!?
