When I first heard this I expected another Darkest Before Dawn, and became disappointed when it wasn't as dark and melancholic. I wanted more of that infinite, eternal black womb and felt that this was too light and naïve. But after a while my opinion... See full review

This is awful. I bought it without having heard it first, since it was dirt cheap and the titles had "goa" in them - A shot in the dark trying to find some obscure oldschool goa trance, so to speak. However, the vocals present here, while a nice idea,... See full review

The breakdown in Tribal Interference serves little purpose - there is no buildup going on and it's too long. Other than that it's a great, interesting and creative track which shows that Etnoscope have a lot of tricks up their numerous sleeves.

I was a bit disappointed in this. The production is extremely good, sounds are super crisp and everything sounds just right... but it just doesn't do anything for me. It's so slick it just slides past unnoticed. I have yet to hear any of these tracks... See full review

Ultra-heavy bass, monotonous trashing percussive beats that sound like they've been raped with a chainsaw and doomsday atmospheres on top. Sounds good? It is.

If you like it heavy & atmospheric and enjoy getting whipped by distorted german hihats,... See full review

This is excellent stuff, even if you're not a Kuro fan like myself :)

It's almost a little too sunny and cheerful even for a retro mix set, but full, thick sounds and good production. Kuro is one of the early adaptors and even creators of the goa... See full review

The absolutely furious melody after the break on the info-side is truly remarkable. It's completely unique and I have no clue what one would mix this with. I have nothing else that sounds like this. It's a stormer though, and a real gem. If I come... See full review

The second release from Acid Casualties is quite similar to the first (Atmos' "The Only Process"). Not too surprising since they're both from Gothenburg and even shared the same studio at the time, if I'm not mistaken.

"Nothing Was working" has... See full review

After enjoying the first 3 Acid Casualties releases I bought this one without having heard it. I've never come to enjoy it really, since I usually find Nectons tracks too stale. They try to be funky but fail, in my opinion. So if you're a big Necton... See full review

Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of Necton at all, so you probably should pay too much attention to what I think of them ;-)

Judging from the sound of this, the tracks on ACDC004 (Nectons first release on this label) were some old garbage they wanted to... See full review

Marcus Maichel told me personally that he thinks these tracks aren't the best they've done, and I must agree. Still, those guys make more interesting sounds taking a shit than a lot of other producers out there, so this is certainly a record worth... See full review

When I saw Atmos live back in late 2000 or early 2001 he played a version of The Only Process that he later told me was the first he had made. Anti had wanted it to be speedier, so he did the mix that ended up on ACDC001. "Atmos Fertilizer Remix"... See full review

Now here's something very strange. First of all the label is called Alaska Swimming Gear. What kind of a name is that? Their catalogue numbers have had some strange conventions throughout the years, but I'm pretty sure this is really the second... See full review

I've never been a fan of Analog Pussy, but I got this one for free. Since I don't like them I've never bough any of their releases. So if you think Analog Pussy are generally pretty good, you probably won't agree with this review.

"Ball Banger" has... See full review

"Spherical Biosis" sounds like a 1994 track with an extra heavy bassdrum with its speedy and amateurish melody. It never gets an atmosphere going and the melodies won't make anyone go mental expect maybe for some of the stuff towards the very end, but... See full review

Empty and slow, this is not like their other releases really. With empty I don't mean hollow though, as the souns is thick and meaty. It fits the creamcrop formula well, but I think they've done better. Vattensörja would be a great intro track, but I... See full review

A fantastic track that is almost too good to be remixed - a simple re-release would be enough. But then Son Kite come along and work their magic, and it gets even better. Staying true to the original while still making it sound clearly Son Kite-ish,... See full review
