What's this about
At the end of the day the Eriksson boys are just a bunch of romantics. Literally, the whole idea of let's get back to nature... in a radioactive-green, cold and mossy forest, lost somewhere in Sweden. The great majority of the sane world might not call it an ideal vacation spot.
In retrospect, they popped my third eye out! The album is tall-glass of effects and samples spilling out synth's with a degree of alchemy. An aural overload with all the finesse of a blind hairdresser equipped with a broad-sword. The simplest breakdown I can give you: accompaniment for a really shibby dew, descending by the rabbit-hole in the tree.
Per-song break-down
1. Deranged *
Deranged is a month's worth of shock-treat packed in 9 minutes. The only thing that makes sense here is the twisted-short pads lifting off into unknown directions. It stars slow with a nice set of stick and drum action, running through Halloween-time tonal adventures. It Kindly takes your hand through the journey of mirrors past the point of no return.
2. Confusion Is Next *
Serious chin rubbing stupefaction of striking mystique. Infinitely lost in eight minutes of baffling lines, rumbling, bubbling and whirling on top of a very chaotic panorama. Loaded with all the goodness necessary to startle even the most experienced travelers. Dancing or pondering you will find yourself most entertained.
3. Made Out of Vapour
You are made out of vapor mostly… never… so this is obviously a very abstract concept. Bee's and exhalations jiggle the speakers escorting the vapour samples from left to right. Rhythms change constantly through an equally transient shrilling of liquefied effects and gated melodies announcing, its sudden demise.
4. Masterdamnit *
Besides having the coolest name ever, the mega curse is lovingly dedicated to the merry-prankster for spiking your drink... god knows how long ago. The bell-hook by the start is great, hinting a steady builder with all the craftmanship they have shown in the past. It's not only the bass gaining speed, but the surroundings progressing through waves of hypnotism escalating in intensity, unfolding like a rug that gets thicker by the yard. An overflow of fractal textures, unsound and tasty by all measures, especially by the end.
5. All Channels Open *
The fifth chapter is oddly enough a quick return to more wispy melodic teases, chanting bits and galloping pounders, before it dissolves in your ears. The pace slows down a bit by the mid section, reaching new peaks of random tonal abstractions.
6. The Poisonous Square *
The kick does a crescendo in a thick layer of reverbs, as the voices are consumed in effects before it gets going. Once it does everything is delayed in fizzy chirps of sonic mist, clouding the speakers with haunting melodies. It hooks carrying through all the eeriness of the green forest, in the front-cover of the album. It's great, makes me feel all warm inside...
7. Lost Theory
Besides a beat it's mostly bells, bird chirps, and the other million-and-one layers of interaction, crammed together like sardines in a can. Languidly twisting and bouncing in its own juice, shaking their tails to the metal-tin surface... trying to escape from the hole they got themselves into.
8. Fnatt *
The beat is paced with that unhinged groove factor swelling in the kicks, amongst the virtuoso dissonance, that personally sets them apart from the rest. There is a higher portion of pads with a very unique Derango quality like is the norm here. It takes a few sharp woobly edge's but it carries through.
9. We're All Mad Here (Rmx)*
The drumalism returns with those slinky grooves I enjoy so much… slower, paced and well trippy. The ability for tuning and piling artifices that zoom, quack, bubble, splat, slam, sputter and Derango knows what else... flows down in random order reaching magnanimous proportions. It seems there is a method to their madness. They got the idea in previous tracks balancing the crazy factor and it works on this one.
* Favourites.*
All and all
As far as i'm concerned they delivered the goods. I don't think two tracks sound alike here and its clear the boys have cooked up their very own unique style, but I beleive the progression of their sound has not reached the peak yet. Confidence is high.
Overall this is in deed a Tumult of electric forest, Jens and Ola decided to pile on nine tracks to redefine the concept of dementia. All music has its place and time, so if you're having trouble placing Derango in your schedule, is best to simply let it go. If you have grown tired of everything else and yearn for a beating, tune in your psychelic intuition because it gets wild. If these qualities bring a smile to your face instead of the cringes, then welcome home…

* ( I tried the more than one * per song, but it dosen't really look consistent with previous reviews, and i don't really feel like going back and revising them, so i'm giving up the idea... )

Lovely review, Death., please keep writing your acid-reviews.
A good album, it's not my style, however, I can clearly understand why some of you are in love with this album. 7/10.

The ones who know me for some time and know my high standarts for music, especially when it comes to psytrance.
I Say "this CD is real psytrance and one of the best releases so far in 2005 in that genre".
When i listen to most of psytrance/darkpsy it sounds like fomulas without any real musical flow as it should be, this CD have musical flow, which is destructive and psychedelic. As some other Scandinavians done in mid 90'.
Good luck to Derango, never heard of you but this album changed it.
Good luck
