V/A - Infinity Hz (Matsuri Productions 1996)

Yeah, I've dug up another one of those classic compilation from the golden age of psytrance. And let me start by saying, that this is a very good compilation, which features some really good tracks and is a nice mixture between UK, Israeli, Japanese and European trance.

This CD Digipack is from Japanese-based label Matsuri Productions and is compiled by Tsuyoshi Suzuki a.k.a. Prana. and it comes as no surprise, that he's involved in 4 tracks out of the 5 Japanese featured on this compilation. But let me also say that the tracks he's involved in ALL are very good!

CD1 kicks of with a very cool track by Prana. Good use of synths creates an almost-MWNN sound. CD1t2 is perhaps the biggest classic on this cd: Nick Barber And Simon Posford delivers the stunningly beautiful stomper "Born Again" .. "..you need to be booooorn again!". No further introduction needed here. CD1t3 is another Japanese track with a great melody. CD1t4 is a full-on, ol'-fashioned piece of art from Tooth Monkey And Tristan and they've made a very energetic fast track. Notice the cool melody with the ping-pong sounds in the ending! CD1t5 is from UK-based Rhythmystec and I don't really like this track. It's only another fairly good, synth-based track! Most be considered one of the fillers on this compilation. CD1t6 is a slow starting, monotonous boring track that goes absolutely nowhere.. Filler! CD1t7 is a little better than it's predecessor. Features nice samples ".the gift of." and is a traditional piece of Israeli trance, that gets boring though. Another Filler! After 3 disappointing fillers CD1t8 delivers the good stuff again. This is a very cool, full-on track with an amazing kick-drum from Japanese Bass Chakra. Not so much BS just pure quality psy with smashing samples and even didgeridoo sounds at 4.00 . ". Travel across the void - 230000 miles!.".

CD2 starts with the same track as CD1 ends with, but it in a different mix. A more relaxed/ambient'y start. Turns out to be extremely psychedelic though, but still in a more relaxed manner than the other mix. CD2t2 is from Athena, better known as Miranda Silvergreen, and is a track from the good old days when she made cool music. Those days are over now. This song is very predictable though and must also be considered as a filler. CD2t3 is the classic track Goaway from Power Source. A very simple, yet efficient track. Cool! CD3t4 is another classic from Transwave, which features experiments with drum-machines. This is a very fast-moving good track! CD2t5 starts with some very strange noises - even for psytrance - and a "relaxed" kick-drum which creates a very mellow vibe. The bad thing about this track, is that it gets annoying in the middle. Gets better towards the end though. Average track. CD2t6 is a really great track from Boris Blenn and DJ Sangeet under their alias Endra. Traditional drums with a twist. The trackname "Joy" is very fitting, 'cause this is a joyful track! CD2t7 is another fav'e here. A very dark - scary even - track here. Much better than Rhythmystec's track on CD1. Very, very good track with well-fitting samples! CD2t8 Also a very fast, pounding track that keeps evolving with long cool build-ups. Cool track! CD2t9 last track on this compilation is also Japanese and features tribal drums and vocoded samples. Turns into a very psychedelic beauty in the nice morning style. A very worthy ending!

All in all this is a cool compilation with 6 VERY good tracks, 4 fillers and 7 mediocre tracks.. Also features very, very psychedelic, beautiful artwork! ;o) But it's worth buying tracks for the good tracks. This would have gotten a solid 9/10 w/o the fillers, but I can't stretch myself to giving this more than 7.5/10 Bom shankar!
