This is a great comp, again NADA really rocks my world! but what really stands out in the comp are the Kick Bong tune, and Cell ofcourse...
Really up my alley, hope for more like this from Candy!
also would like to give credit to the artwork, i like the organic, natural, mountain high theme...
one minus though,
agree with death posture...my digipack also collapsed just as i opened it. quality pressing would have made this product 10/10.
but its cool, the cd is already in my case, where it will stay for a long time to come!

...Yep!
Agree with you, Amazon, Nada, Kick Bong and Cell are the nicest hypnotic & psy-Chill tracks of the Compilation!
They are on the perfect line of sensations
So amazing!...One time again, Cell has a Magic Touch!
We are waiting the album!...

Mountain High (Candyflip, Jan. 2004)
1. Solar Fields- The Sight is White 7:25
2. Vibrasphere- All Green Seasons 7:22
3. Indidginus- Spiritual Spearmints 6:51
4. Triac feat. Sharon- Anticipation 6:43
5. J.viewz- Untracked 5:59
6. Kick Bong- Incense 8:48
7. Nada- Numbers 7:44
8. Cell- The Bushman 7:14
9. Intocyrcle feat. Wiama- Maui Tici Tici 7:01
10. J.viewz- Courage Wants to Laugh 5:51
11. A.E.S. Dana- Seaweeds Corporate 7:45
The compilation opens up with Solar Fields- probably the best artist to open a chill compilation with. Magnus supplies us with his usual, larger than life, engulfing atmosphere, with his strong moodiness, and big feel. Not an outstanding piece, but as all his stuff, it's just good. Vibraphere next continue in the same moody and full of feel atmosphere, adding an optimistic hypnotic beat and strings. Beautiful. Indidginus next (T3) with a Tibetan feeling track. I don't connect with this one really. Triac (with a friend)- the crazy producers of heavy tech-trance- show they have a softer side. Anticipation comes with sneaky rhythms, psychedelic squeaks and a beautiful touching all-around atmosphere. Follows J.viewz, with the first of his tracks here. Jonathan, known also as half of the successful Violet Vision duo, is about to make a big impact in the more loungey chill world, but first we get here a taste of his earlier stuff. Untracked (T5) is a tribal piece of psychedelicious downbeat music with the mind-twists, the musicality, and the chant and rhythm induced hypnotism. All that is needed for a great piece of music. One of my favorites here. Kick Bong continues with the tribal hypnotic feel with the monotone, yet totally gabbing Incense. Excellent. Nada next with Numbers (T7), continuing the psychedelic tribal feel with a beautiful track with a great story. Cell's next with The Bushman, another tribal piece in a more relaxed atmosphere. Greece is here as well (after all it's a Greek label). With Intocyrcle and Wiama, we stay in the tribal side of things with fast ever changing tabla work and a beautiful melody. Very nice one, though a bit weak on the production side. J.viewz is back at 10 with another beauty, tribal chants, rhythm changes, beautiful guitar and a bit of a loungey feel. Finishing this compilation, and taking us back into the atmospheric deeps is A.E.S. Dana with a beautiful trancey ambient track.
Bottom line: Alex Candy has done here a good job for Candyflip's first chill compilation. Mountain High offers good organic sounds starting with the airy and venturing into more psychedelic tribal hypnotic realms. Good buy. Favorites: 2, 4, 5(!), 6(!), 7, 9, 10.

in my opinion this is THE chill compilation of the last year. it has a bit of a different direction from most compilations i know.
it is very psychadelic,and has some excellent tracks on it.
its evident that a lot of thought and effort have been put into this compilation.from the beutiful digipack, to the quality of the tracks (the AES dana tracks is breathtaking).
ive really enjoyed this cd.
and if i may say so, well done alexis! |

^ thanks Tech Monkey.
I've been away on a holdiay, so haven't been able to respond. I'll check it out.
@Dj Samsara. Thanks too, but that discogs price is a joke - not gonna pay that much.
