Compiled By Dj Bog, Mastering :Bog + Uriel
Indica (Victor Elcurdia,Luca Szokely aka dj Valik & Dj Geza) gives an average work, my man reproach is that there’s no soul at all for me in this track, so flat !
Here’s a winning combination between Sesto Sento & Lish, Tuna (or Tanua ?) has a fat pumping start up after a short sample break around 3’00 the track gets one step pumper beyond but a nervous melody at last appears coppled with hammered rythmic, as a result the production lighten. One regret, the track lasts only 5’50.
With Children Of Earth, Ultravoice goes on in his new style cought sight with Dr Trance, it means groovier style with a work puts on an amplitude constrast during a long progressive rising, if you had like Dr trance this one is for you too.
Easy Bizzy goes direct to kickin direction. Unfortunatly the melody coming at 2’00 is so cheesy that the whole thing gets quickly inaudible, youthful indiscretions, for having a good impress on Bizzare Contact largely prefer checking their album.
Blue Screen got a beautiful morning intro , indeed it’s just the premise of a (especially around 3’00)funky- (mainly)morning jewel which makes you as light as air , even despite of the presence of some electric riffs on the end.
Fucking Noise got also a nice floating intro then the original funkadelic style from Apocalypse makes his entrance, a bit less boisterous than Master Peace (their first opus) but more groovy and still very danceable effective , a good confirmation.
Appear Offline is something more klonk, so i’m think fewer people will dig on it even if it’s my kind of thing.
Emotion from Aquatica (Elad Asi + Shauli) is very clubby sounding (Yahel like) and that’s the main worry here for me, very border line indeed.
Hopefully, Paradigma (Tony Levi + Rafi M) associated with the Sesto team provides something better with an excellent trumpetta which got cold lead on the second part coppled with some background muffled oniric atmospheres.
I never heard the original but do like this Lish remix of Elephant , so probably it helps a lot to work on some Vibrasphere stuffs nevertheless i’m truly convinced in his morning potential since Slow Me Away, so for me you mustn’t miss it.
Highlights :5,9,10
Other favorites :2,3,6,7
The main default of Final Fantasy resides in its unconstant quality selection, but the hilights keeps worth buying it.
Mark :7,5/10

VA - Final Fantasy
Compiled by dj Bog
Com.Pact Records 2004
(CPCD016)
1. Indica – Sound Textures
2. Sesto Sento Vs. Lish – Tuna
3. Ultravoice – Children Of Earth
4. Bizzare Contact – Easy Bizzy
5. Visual Paradox Vs. Elik – Blue Screen
6. Apocalypse – Fucking Noise
7. Uriel – Appear Offline
8. Aquatica – Emotion
9. Sesto Sento Vs. Paradigma – Heads Off
10. Vibrasphere – Elephant (Lish Rmx)
“Final Fantasy“ is the name for the second compilation coming from israeli Com.pact records this year, this time containing the tracks selected by the label manager & founder, Dj Bog of Visual Paradox project. The cover art is not very good this time, especially there could have been used better font in the combination with the picture of metal-angel…but what about the music?
1) The cd is opened by the project Indica (dj Valik & Dj Geza) which is offering us very nice, smooth ride through its calm morning track called Sound Textures with nostalgic „Cosmic-Tone-like“ melody. Pretty good start indeed, this is exactly the type of the isratrance I give the wall to.
2) “Tuna“ was made in a collaboration between Sesto Sento and Lish; the combination of both projects´ styles gave a very specific sound to the track, you can find both Lish´s proggy basement and Sesto Sento´s melody in it. Nice track, only maybe too short.
3) Avi Levi aka Ultravoice is probably presenting us how his new album „Art of Voice“ going to be – dancy full-on morning trance with nice melodies but still less groovy & cheesy than the rest of isratrance production. Listen to “Dr. Trance“ on the previous Com.pact compilation (Blue Leprechaun) and you will know what I am talking about.
4) Bizarre Contact continues in the style of it debut album – massive full-on with rolling bassline made for the crowds. Typical dancefloor killer, there is no doubt about it.
5) A high quality music with both light&dark elements, perfect production, guitar samples and very interesting music composition is presented in „Blue Screen“ made by Visual Paradox and Elik Zakai. One of the highlights of the cd.
6) Apocalypse, quite new artist on the scene, starts with a very decent intro but then the track turns into boring Astrix-like song without any interesting ideas, for me the weakest link here.
7) Uriel, who makes part of the Visual Paradox, has usually more dark and raw stuff than the rest of Com.pact artists and „Appear Offline“ is not an exception, really rough track better for the night time. For me it is too out of the concept of the compilation and definitely not my cup of tea.
8) „Emotion“ from Aquatica project is a nice morning full-on mixed with some clubby elements and melodies, reminding me the last Yahel´s album „Hallucinate Journey into the Unknown“.
9) Well, to say the truth I was really very disappointed by the last Sesto Sento´s album but I must say their tracks on various compilation are real jewels. „Heads Off“ with voice samples from Kill Bill movie is one of them, potencial big hit for the summer season that should work very well on the dancefloor.
10) The last track is also the best one for me – remix of Vibrasphere´s „Elephant“ made by Lish is an excellent combination of progressive and full-on sound that for sure will be played a lot by djs around the world. Definitely one of the best morning tunes I heard in last few months.
Together it is a very varied compilation where you can find both average and real „must-have“ tracks. In my opinion it is definitely not so good as „Blue Leprechaun“ but it is remaining high quality Com.pact standart and still worth to buy it.

Another ok compilation from Com.Pact – but unfortunately I don’t think they’ve released nearly as much great stuff as they did back in 2003 (Think Sync, The Natural Waves Of Sound, Made To Measure). But certainly not a bad compilation, I just don’t think it really stands out on the jungle of morning full on releases.
Only exception is Lishs remix of Vibraspheres “Elephant” – a highly melodic and emotional remix of one of Vibraspheres best trance-creations – and one of my favourites this summer.
In fact, that track alone makes this compilation worth the money.
6,5/10
