Apparently Mr. Rogers is doing some big things within the Psy and Breaks scene located on the West Coast of the USofA. His funky psychedelic break-beat sets have gained the attention of fellow artists and producers across, and have earned him respect of being an artist that likes to push the boundaries and not swallow fear in making something sound strange and extraterrestrial with funky sunglasses.
Mr. Rogers - Ooze System (BasSTAR Records, Geomagnetic.TV) 2007 (BASSCD001, GOCD030)
Cover-Art: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1272280
01. Gangsta' Goose
02. Mr. Lemurian
03. Space Vagina
04. The DMT Factor
05. Sparkplug (Mc - Agustus Thelefant)
06. Spookey Kabluey
07. Bahroo! (Vocals - Doramey Fossilotti , Jacinda)
08. A Boy And His Blob
09. Tameron's Cube
10. Life
The album starts out (T1) with quirky and funny builds that takes the sound into a space based dub juice. And as the second track (T2) bubbles away it gets deeper in aggression and motion, more mystiques to the atmosphere like being down in a cellar with strange pipes. The shpongly vibe is present with that nice TIP alien approach. UFO’s n’stuff you know, in metallic scenery. The third track (T3) is somewhat a resolution in the phrase; ‘strange stuff floats better’. It’s like taking a trip in a spaceship, a Space Vagina that has the power to reborn you into a new dimension full of possibilities. After the trip in a moist and pleasent vagina, (T4) goofy stuff spins the mind, and plays a longer sample about the DMT experience according to Joe Rogan, better known from the Fear Factor USA television show, and sugarcoats itself in a strange take on DJ Jeans Euro-dance hit, The Launch. The fifth track (T5) introduces a fusion between hip-hop rapping and Space-Breaks. Now it’s time for TripHop goes into TripSpace with rhymes (MC) and a rough Flat-Erik bassline. This is some seriously groovy stuff if you’re into Ninja Tunes and its experimentations – Maybe a bit of a nag, but still good.
Spookey Kabluey (T6) turns the mood to a more serious stage than before and let’s star glitter with funk-guitars playing in the close background. And after this display a man with a hat (T7) steps inside with some 50’s feel that break-beats the jazz. Not as impressive as the other tracks around, but ends good though with voices in space. The Boy and his Blob (T8) is unsettling the beat flow to wobble the sound and pling the plong - Pretty strange and sort of good. As the album spins you get a craving for more but a feeling of enough sneaks up and scrape things up (T9) booms the bass. Tromps the walk. Funky is back with samples of cocksucking dreams, which is very strange. It’s All Gone Pete Tong? After a long journey through funk and dunk, Mr. Rogers serves us a very nice ending to an album of strange play of sounds and Ooze. (T10) Bump bump hump with soul music now. Lounge dub. .. Some eerie mocking voices softly breaks up the track to introduce more uplifting and cute melodies that seem to be a good ending to a varieties and imaginative album. Chilled funk dub to end it all.
Recommendation: Mr. Rogers quirky fun’funky attribution to the Ooze was released on BasSTAR Records who sprung out of the Geomagnetic Records label group in the summer of 2007. They are focusing primarily on breaks, dub-step, electro house and down-tempo grooves from the other side. From them you should expect lots of wild unpredictable new cuts. Mr. Rogers came to many as an interesting and fun surprise where he takes inspiration from the trip and his brothers from Finland and New Zealand. If you’re a fan of the more tripped based sounds of a strange psychedelic experience with a lot of funk, break-beats and intergalactic sound patterns without trance, this one will please your grease. It might not reek the quality of the releases from labels such as PSY-Harmonics and Demon Tea Records, but it does deserve just as much attention for its heart and soul. It has a fine balance between strange and straight where it at one moment is swimming in star sprinkles only to be swept inside a distorted mind-tricksters beach of headspace. … Unfortunately though, this release comes pale against other releases in the same spirit. The album seems to lack something in its overall quality and can get boring and sort of uninspiring as the tracks roll through your player. I’m not saying it sucks ostrich balls, but I am saying it has a lot of room for improvements and sonic experimentations.
I think if you’re a person on the lookout for music that can add something out of the ordinary to your tripped experience without being boxed into trance, chill-out or dub. You should defiantly take a shot at Ooze System. I’m very happy to have it in my collection and can’t wait to see its presents from another angel of space and face. Mr Rogers take on the Psychedelic breaks’n’hop is most of all fun and quirky in the range of 110 to 115 BPM. And Inside it can have an aggressive attitude as it reveals a body full of movement and variation. Most of all, this is funny Psy-Breaks with some mushroom funk from the West Cost. Yo!
Favorite Tracks: 1(!!), 2(!!), 3(!), 4, 5(!), 6, 10(!).
Score: 7.8/10

Too experimental and very low on the "trance" factor for me and as you rightly said there is a lot of scope for improvement.
might work after a huge hit of DMT though.

.^compared to what and which release in the same spirit would you recommend? I think this album has a lot of great magic to it.
Taste is taste though and one release can rarely please everyone..
