Well, this is plain regular full-on, nothing special on this one. Boring at most times, ridicule at some, cheesy samples...
The only tracks i like are Dynamix, which is the best track on this cd, Marijuana, which varies a lot (only track which varies on this cd) and R2D2, because it has a distorted chanting effect (don't know the name) which i like so much and is well used thorough the track.
The cover sucks, also the sticker.
rating: ** - avoidable
Not worth buying unless your a full-on dj full of cash.
I'll try my luck with Melicia, but i'm not expecting very different... |

Dynamic (Shay Almakayes & Ben Avital) deliver their debut album after some very promising tracks like Power Drain. Their style is very energic Full On with frequent brassy muted sounds, warm tones & harmonies which isns’t to displease me.
On Genetic Engineers you’ll encounter ttheir trademarks , i’ve talked previously, plus some little percussions in the rythmic and a very jerky melody line.
Happy Hippies starts with a groovier bassline, lots of fx on sounds ( on these brassy tones), there’s also this fashion a bit over-used nowadays twisted Autotune melody, but globally all works & fit perfectly together.
The main melodic sound of Life Game begins with a ‘throwing up & down’ fx , quite funny. Then comes some melodic riffs quite acid confering this track all his positive agressivity.
Thanks to this track Dj’s On Pills, i know now what was thhe whole meaning of the sample contained in ‘4-7 Days’ from SUN Project coz was trying to understand what the man was saying whitout any succes during many months. So, ‘Dj’s took pills to stay away, can play 4-7 days ‘ is the sample gimmick of this one, the rest is typical Dynamic receipe, some discret percussions on the end.
Dynamix opens up with a muted string melody, later around 3’40 appears a plucked mettalic bass (a not very used sound in psytrance), a subtle tribal atmosphere is also present with percussions in the backbround & some deep men voices samples kinda saying ‘ah’ ‘hey’ ‘oh’.
The intro of Marijuana don’t let a big impress, indeed real thing comes after progressively with a fast groovy bassline. Next is the higly jerky melodic sound which is a cosmic one. 2’10 is the time of the break announcing the musical madness which is growing up : the bass gets deeper & warmer, the melodic sounds are now the usual sharpy & brassy tones stil highly jerked. 5’30 second break, the whole thing get a step forward into density & more nervous.
Alien connection is more kickin’, with a metallic & strident sound in the background, you could notice the man voice sample is the same guy appearing on ‘Power Drain’.
Say Yes, has some little bouncy sounds at first & some Autotune fx. Then the brassy sound as well as an org melody get some echoes and delays on them, later the melodic sound is this turn a bleep, coppled with the brassy one which comes back after in order to deliver a quite short cycling up hypnotic spiral, kinda tornado indeed, from which you’re prisonneer.
R2D2 isn’t so robotic, may be a bit due to a new Autotune fx. A beautifull gloomy & jerky org is used confering more emotion to this production which remains dancefloor of course.
Last one done with Star x, is a succeeded morning attempt with percussions, warm-fluffy tones & cosmic-floating harmonies, a very welcome chill moment for the erars after all the previous Full On stuffs.
Favorites by order :6,10,2,9,8,3,5.
A Must-have for all Full On lovers.
Mark :8,5/10
