Bio-Tonic – On The Rox
1 Bio-Thing 144 bpm 7’36
2 On The Rox 139 bpm 7’19
3 Titanium Flood 138 bpm 7’37
4 Robot To Love 138 bpm 7’25
5 All Them Witches 145 bpm 6’46
6 Standard Cosmology 139 bpm 7’32
7 Basix 142 bpm 7’25
8 3rd Link ‘Remix It' 145 bpm 7’00
9 Relax Track 80 bpm 6’40
10 Somewhere 110 bpm 8’02
The 2 first track are quite trance-funkadelic, in a similar way as Eat Static – Ciy Of Sin, i mean some very happy,energzing twisted melodies & pure raving spirit stuffs, tottally what i’m fond of.
Furthermore, Bio-Thing got a very nice & surprising intro constrasting with the build up of the track and his global musical content, but i let the the surprise. I like also very much the gimmick sample ‘I’m a phenomen’ coppled with the funky guitar riff.
Concerning On The Rox, some japanese voice samples open the track and remain time by time along the track, then you’ll understand all about the ‘On the rox’ appellation.
Titanium Flood sounds rougher & more flat but it’s without counting the appearance at around 3:00 some electric & metallic riff, some metallic voices agrement the stuff. The electric guitar riff comes back later distorted this time & pumpier. Do the 3 french Bio-Tonic dudes want to supersede S.U.N Project here, hehe ?
Robot To Love is darker, but contains sharpy woman voice distorted & a soft xylo melodyin his middle.
All Them Witches looks like to previous one, instead of sharpy voice you’ve got japanese child speaking & some kinda voices incantations. The short middle break is pretty nice, with some speed samba rythmn. Then, the final part, when the track evolves into a funkier way.
Standard Cosmology got one of these typical Space Tribe intro, i mean a deep mettalic twisted voice telling a short story. Indeed, this track sounds like a tribute to Space Tribe as its very close to last olli’s album productions exception of the japanese voices samples & asian tones on the end.
Basix got a good slamming rythmic all along the track and is probably the most asian sounding tones & harmony ; it results as a mix between peacefull & dancefloor spirit.
The 3rd Link remix is an enlightened one, more electrising & adrenalistic comparing to the original , finally much more living and highly raving.
Relax Trax, the name says it all, containing a gimmick woman saying in french ‘Détendez vous’ and the same thing in english then probably in japanese, you got the impress to entering the milky way listening this tune, quite fabulous.
Last one and second chill-out stuff of the album with another french but very klonk samlples ‘pourrais je vous poser une question personnelle ’, ‘avez-vous déjà mis hors service un numéro par erreur ?’.
Somewhere is a very weird track but really nice, at the end the woman sample is played inside out & the last melody sounds seems to comes out from an accordion ! ! !
No bad tracks for me.
My preference by order :1,9,2,10,7,8,3,6,5,4.
Highly & Warmly recommended
mark : 9/10

Nice review dude
I'm not to fond of this album. It's not in the normal full on style, but very special, and with a pretty unique touch. Although it might work for some people, it's not really my cup of tea.
There are some pretty nice tracks for the dancefloor though, especially "On The Rox" and the remix of "3rd Link" (although a bit too much with the vocal samples).
My verdict: 5.5/10

Yep I'm with the other, nice review ! 
It seems Bio Tonic broke up the links with their techno/hardteck roOts to suggest us a much mOre Trancey album than the previous one.
I only heard it a few time... but this is just a question of time
