1. Insane Creation- Gefrliche Flasche 7:32
2. Tegma- Charus (Malmo rmx) 8:08
3. Deforlder- 10 Ms of Itch 6:32
4. Triplex- Underflow 7:41
5. Yumade- Jungle Breeze 6:42
6. Colours- Hexenschuss 8:43
7. Reefer Decree vs. Asian- Squid 6:06
8. Paste- Pastard 7:30
9. Stuntman- Savages 8:57
A second compilation from Starsound, after the very good debut with Dynamic Features, that didn't get the respect it deserved I feel. Intelligence is much more together and mature. We get here a blend of mostly minimal tech-trance stuff, yet with different feel to the track and enough color and interest.
Insane Creation, a new Swiss group start with a minimal progressive track, very percussive with a lot of drumming and rhythm games. Nothing exciting but a very nice groovy opener. The second track is a little surprise from Tegma, their usual drive is present, but it's toped with nice darbukas and an uplifting and even a housey feel, powerful melodies included. I would lose those hail samples in the end though. Veteran DJ Sangeet with his Defolder project continues (T3) with what I can only describe as a trance party inside a pinball machine- check it for yourselves. Then Triplex does it again (T4)- starting in toyland, pretty much where the last track left- it's all little groovy percussion mind games sure to hypnotize the dancefloor. This guy's music makes me happy. Jungle Breeze (T5)- Well... a Yumade track I really like, that didn't happen for a long time already. Different, original- the book of the jungle a-la-Yumade. That's one weird jungle, but definitely worth a journey through- just be careful, eh? Colours are another Swiss group, which I've seen in some top tens already- Hexenschuss is a strong dark one, but the build is a little empty and the sound is weak, things just don't sit well. Shows promise but a bit immature. Reefer Decree continue with Squid (T7), another toyish track, happy and bouncy morning track with nice psychedelic splashes, short and to the point. Paste, well, they sound like Paste, exactly like most other Paste tracks I've heard. Bored me. Stuntman, another new Greek act finishes things off with a full on technoidic track, that will rock the floor.
[b]Bottom Line:[/b] Good stuff. Very enjoyable and fresh, and with a good variety of music, while sticking to one style.
[b]Favorites:[/b] 2-5, 7.

Well, mine finally arrived, so i can comment now:
yes, Tegma delivers an awesome trak. Awesome! This and X-Calibur are their best traks so far. Plz guys, deliver more power like this! A definite must for dancefloors.
Traks 1, 3 and 4 are nice, even interesting, but that's all.
Trak 5 is not for my taste. Don't like Yumade at all. But that's me. It may please some technoid fans.
Reefer delivers yet again a great trak. Nice progressive melodic. Great morning stuff.
Paste is Paste. shahar said it all.
And Stuntman definitly is interesting. Promising. Liked it.
Anyways, an average compil. Much better than Starsound's first one. I just hope they keep getting better.
