The review:
Ok, time for another dark psytrance compilation, and this time my evil eye has fallen to: Tartara from Helicon Sound System. To tell the truth I never really heard from this label before, but that might also be due to the fact that I was out of the reviewing scene for a while. Anyway, the usual is up here. Dark, fast and wild psytrance with samples from horror/mystery/thriller movies. You know the drill. When I say this compilation sounds a lot like stuff from labels like: Vertigo, Trantrumm or Temple Twister Records then most of the dark lovers out there will already know what's cooking here. For all the rest, here's a
quick summary. Think full-on, add a darker and even more present bassline, lots of samples from horrormovies and a real emphasis on dark atmospheres and twisted acidic lines. Upon listening to this what I found interesting is that the compilation starts off with the least track on offer in my opinion. Track 1 falls really short, even more so because directly after it Horror Place delivers a really cool track with Helicon here, with lots of dark atmosphere and some sampling from the movie Pitch Black. Karmazon quickly continues in that vein luckily, with some faster BPM and overall the compilation turns out to be really good from there on. Productionwise it's great too, with Tim Schuldt on mastering you can't go far wrong. In short, if you're looking for a real tasty dark compilation, this is one of the best out there currently. My own personal faves here are: 2,3,9. Check out some samples and decide if you want it. If you like dark psytrance then you won't regret it!

Yeah, the Horror Place track is great. After repeated listening even the Kerosene Club track is sounding great, so that downer can be taken away from my review as well.
