The review:
Alright, we have a collaboration album here. Both projects have been around for some time. Bliss started off as full on and has always stayed that way. Azax Syndrom had more of an evolution, so to speak, starting off as a dark psytrance artist, he gradually evolved to the 3D Vision/Timecode style of things. Hence his first album Evolution, a fitting name by the way, came out on 3D Vision. Anyway, we’re here to talk about this one. The whole album is put into a fighting style, it is obvious through the album title, the artwork and the track titles, most of which deal with fighting. It’s a nice idea, and it works well in this album. What surprised me was that the tracks are pretty long, going from 7 through 8,9 and even 10 minutes. The two artists differ from each other. Bliss’s tracks are characterized more by being wild overall and with lots of breaks, and sounding really busy. Azax Syndrom takes the Absolum approach by working more towards a build up with massive finish, which I find to be the best style. Bliss is thoroughly enjoyable too, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I like Azax’ style better. The tracks they made together are really a blend, being pretty intense throughout, yet still working towards a massive finale. The album gives off this fighting atmosphere quite well, being wild and hard, with all kinds of samples from fighting movies, particularly in Hokuto Shin Ken (T3), with all those Bruce Lee samples. When the whole thing is over after more than 77 minutes you’re left feeling empty, beaten (an adequate term here...) and definitely craving some ambient or chill tracks.
Recommendation: If you’re looking for some hard, wild and wicked psytrance, then don’t look any further. This is one to get.
Favorite tracks:The whole album is great but mine are 3, 5, 7-9.

this is a test of survival skills...there are times when the music sounds like acid drive but then the switches are off or dogs are growling through the structures..if the track skips on mode play then we have contact....and sometimes volume.

I never had a problem with Azax changing his style to darkish fullon, but most of his latest tracks seems to be pretty uninspired, and too much alike to each other. I kinda feel the same about Bliss: his Looney Bin album had much more diverse tracks, with many original ideas for it's time.
Maybe I just missed something, so I'll give some more listen to Round 1 anyway, maybe I'll change my mind... I respect both of the artists for what they've done so far, and I wouldn't mind dancing to their music in a party, I'd still enjoy it, but I think there are much more interesting and original artist in this style of fullon right now, then Azax or Bliss.

LOL.....
I really didnt enjoy this album at all.
However Azax's Earlier work was a banger. I couldnt stop stomping to his music. GR8 beats in his earlier works.
Mushrooms make you do crazy stuff. Look at Mario he jumps on animal heads and fights with dragons. |

Really shitty music in my opinion.
Only track which had any grace was "Psycho Madness"
Rest was really cheesy for my taste. Bliss does not make killer full on anymore. His rhythmus gene days were the best. Now its shocking IMO.

there is no bad music... there's only music we don't like!!
and i think there should be more positivity even when you describe something you do not like! just out of respecting people choices and options.
you do not expect people to like only what YOU like!!!
p.s. Boulevard, killer signature
