Taa-daaa!
It's been in the making for a year now and I've the pleasure of announcing it's arrival..
I'm not one for track by track analysis - the other peeps here do though, so check those out alongside my overview for a good insight into the nature of this li'l puppy..
Where to start? This sound a collaboration between two veterans whom have been apart of the psychedelic scene since I can remember...
Seb Kruger (SBK/Tarsis/Discoslickers/Bushbumpas) has pioneered a stern and inventive german prog sound that has held strong for the duration of it's life to date. Greg has also been instrumental in progressing psytrance into new genres since producing and DJ'ing in London parties he has promoted through Lunar promotions.. This collaboration has been a natural progression into the Label's conept in dance music.
Out now on ACDC, Anti has yet again asserted his label's presence on the global dance scene with such innovative and boundary crossing releases as his label so harbours..
With his 'psychedelic' festival roots, Anti and his artiste havern have collectively honed their sound from a wayward forest trance into a modern club prance - with a twist (and a remnant forest tale or two)..
This psychoactive house genre is beginning to find it's way into many of the biggest clubs around.. As apt as the terrace sound of Ibiza has nurtured a daytime scene - so too has this sound developed an indoor scene with similar crossover potential onto the outdoor rig. I personally find that outdoor daytime sound must have an air of dignity and prestige for it to be enjoyed by all. Thrashing about to underaccomplished techno will not hold in my idea of a inclusive dance scene. That tends to leave room for none but an exclusive scene that in my experience fails to open the doors for anyone who strolls by..
..this album also happens to be a very accomplished, steadfast and exemplary rendition of the genre. That is to say the variety and tone the album takes is both conceptual and imaginative for both D.J's and dancers alike.
As both, I find it most entertaining with more than enough quirks and jerks to warrant the purchase. And that's saying alot..
There are, on the one hand, the more psychedelically enclined tracks such as the imfamous 'Magnetic Force' remix from Saiko-Pod. This track has seen a deep overhaul that ventures into some pretty trippy territory with some moody melodic hooks that loom cleverly amid the humid walls of pervading groove and sonic sanction.
Then there's other tracks such as 'Prock Rock' which give a more fun-time dance floor ensemble. With it's smart acoustic sampling, the track exhudes funk and drives home a stomping-rhythmic-entourage that your mum will write home about... Simple but sharp, phat and fun.
There is plenty more variety to speak of, but overall you can be sure to get alot out of this album.. Very creative, varied and systematically sound.
I hope you get a good idea of where I'm headed with this, because it's worth a looksee if your into finding that little extra capacity for dancing your way out of your socks...
7.5/10
A strong, danceable and full album that's set to strengthen both the brand and the genre respectively.
