‘Forest CD’ – Doof Records 2004
DOOFCD015
More info http://www.doofrecords.net
From the desert to the forest emerges the latest V/A compilation from Doof records. Following hot on the trail of their last album release from Entropy, the Doof crew have put together another banging disc of tracks for the dance floor with the usual big names delivering consistent satisfaction.
1.U-Recken vs. Zion - Furies
2.Double R.E.L - Scum Of The Earth
3.Entropy - The Messenger
4.Zirkin vs. N3xu5 - Tooth Fairy
5.N3xu5 - League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen
6.Iron Madness - Maniac Police
7.Zirkin & Rev - No Game
8.Rev - Sunday Driver
9.Blanka - Forest
1.U- Recken vs Zion – Furies A very banging start to the disc, opening with the scraping metallic noises into a hard, punching hammer kick Furies is a fitting opener with a punchiness in the sound familiar to U-Reckens work. This is surely peak time music, the samples and the buildups throughout the track add to the energy and leave you with an immediate urge to dance. I liked the percussion at 3”20 and the breakdown, it really gives the energy of the track a chance to build and recollect itself before the explosion into a more cruising journey than the opening.
2. Double R.E.L. – Scum of the Earth Another stomping track from the Ariels with echoing distant samples and drums banging into a 4/4 kick that is nice and big. Wailing drones over the top of double percussion, plenty of echoes and balghan here equating to a very consumable piece of music. It opens right up at the 1.30’ mark sampling ’…this is no longer music…’ and certainly it isn’t, this is doof music and it rocks solid. A favorite here with no doubt that reminds me of Xatrik!
3.Entropy – The Messenger Entropy enjoys high rotation on my CD player as this is an artist who knows how to bang. With his previous album only a few months old from Doof his track here is a continuation of the same values and high production. This track threw me off at first as it opens with a slower tech stomp that drags it’s feet a little, a sample of Ronald Regan and a slower groovyness to it. Then we hit the 2’.30” mark and it gets real nasty after a sliding instrumental break returning with a hard, stomping kickdrum and a very funny sample. The same style of pads and instruments we heard in ‘Empty handed’ and the remix. What a MONSTER of a track.
4.Zirkin vs. N3xu5 - Tooth Fairy After the last track, we are on a roll. Another killah from this side project of Zirkin and N3xu5 that works well from beginning to end. Opening with the anguished sample, screaming, a thunderstorm and the voice of a child saying ’ ..we are all going to die…’ we know we are in for a seriously enjoyable night time journey. A few tracks from n3xu5 recently in some ways were lacking the fullness I look for in a bassline and kick but this combination with Zirkin has filled this space and we get a very solid and much more full sound to the music. Sampling ‘..what I took before in kindness, I will take forever in revenge..’ this is unrelenting and very well written. The break at around the 5 minute mark is very original too and allows for the perfect transition in the music before the chaos erupts again.
5.N3xu5 – League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Opening with a sample of Sean Connery from the movie that shares the title of this track this is a good evolution from N3xu5. It’s a real stomping journey again that winds out with FX and signature sounds but has more body that some of their earlier tracks. It is powerful and uses buildups and layers well, dropping FX in and out to get a nice flow of energy and allows things to build up before the inevitable explosion and breakdown.
6.Iron Madness - Maniac Police Ok this is some seriously heavy music. Sliding into a sharp resonant kick with plenty of high end that drives into your brain. Screaming, wailing police sirens and the inferno of hard, ceaseless psychedelic mayhem. As the morbid screaming and digital chaos erupts things get heavier still, pounding and driving without end winding up and up until you think you cannot tolerate it any more and all the pressure in your brain will explode….. then BANG hell becomes deeper but I will stop now, you should listen to feel it. A beautiful piece of music to push you over the edge.
7.Zirkin & Rev - No Game It was very relaxing to ease into this track after the sheer pressure of the last one. Using a kill bill sample that has appeared in a few other tracks but this time with some nice FX over the top this is a light and journeying tune with plenty of breaks and nice instrumentation. The kick does have pressure but not as much as some of the other tracks on the disc offering some nice variety in bass line also making for a very rocking track.
8.Rev - Sunday Driver This is my favorite track on the compilation. It glides into a fat, rocking kick and compressed bassline with plenty of low rumbles and the taut punchiness in the atmosphere that is right at home with tracks from Entropy and other doof artists. Nice use of percussion here that slots comfortably over the top of the low rumble. A guaranteed dance floor smasher using samples very well and plenty of channel panning to add to the energy within. Top job!
9.Blanka - Forest Another big one to finish up the compilation, my second favorite track. It comes rolling in with a ’…are you ready to go…’ sample and a nice compressed kickdrum and some really powerful rock and roll style hi hats.. Using some samples that have appeared in Xatrik tracks ‘…crank this motherfucker up…’ this is a great formula for the dance floor that uses some very original sounds and devices and delivers a very rocking sound that is hard with a funky edge.
I give this 9/10 – Hard, clean and bangin!
