Various - Tales From The Forest

canyon-Kalle, Mar 23, 2008

This compilation is one of the first showcases of the "modern" psytrance we know today. Not very melodic material, but what you'll get is great adrenaline filled rolling basslines and lots of little tweaks and bleeps.

The first track is by no other than Tomasz Balicki, more known as making progressive style trance as Atmos. This track is some sort of crossover between progressive and forest trance, quite nice.

I don't like the next two tracks that much, but after that you'll get four classic Cryptic Crunch-era tracks from the guys behind Hux Flux and Logic Bomb. Runtime Error runs at "modest" 147 bpm really taking you on a journey! I have hard time understanding why the track Mysko has to be so slow. Perhaps Dennis wanted that detailed fx-trickery to really shine through. Anyways my tip is to use your mixer and raise the tempo to get the most out of this delicious tune.

The last two tracks are also worth hearing. All in all a good compilation, not only because of the high quality of the tracks but seeing they're all exclusive to this release.

A must-have for all fans of the forest sound. Get it!
