Tantrumm records is a new label based in United States and India with the helping hand from the Russians, bridging geographical gaps to deliver good music no mater where you are. Freshly Squeezed is a tall serving of madness and a great sampler of what to expect in the future.
( 1 ) The rather elusive Red, whom I have not yet decided if he's Chinese, maybe Cuban... or possibly a Russian member of the Old Garde, senses his dull elements in a six-minute builer. But hey, the voice of Adam Sandler sending the ball home before the final break probably sweetens the track for some people.
( 2 ) The weaving magnetism of furious unfolds under heavy foliage. It is not something that might necessarily hit you straightaway. If you disliked "lost psy way", chances are you might still find this one devoid of a real punch. That, I humbly blame on the mastering but you be judge of that. Cause the actual music is spot on, developing a complex story with absolute mastery of his environment. *
( 3 ) Another new face from the Greek Islands, Orestis is more appropriately where we take off and the physically heart-aching kick is making we sure we realize this. You can feel the influence of Jellyheadz in his production and the result is a persistent deluge of rhythmic polyformism, loosely adorned with the squeaky treatment. Powerful, cold, unwavering and for the most part satisfying.*
( 4 ) The Greek incursion continues with the heavy weight Romolo Cheri, baffling the senses with his vacuous exercises in power-hungry trance. A beastly rampage of undertones mangled with a senseless drizzle of effects. The Pentgram is interesting and it shoots well as warrior music for the tireless trooper, but I find Metallaxis on the whole a little more effective.
( 5 ) After listening to repeated entries from Baba Jelly on his own, or accompanied by an ever-growing entourage of new artists, it feels good have Gressier & Fabrice reunited again. On that note we can expect a full album from them at some point in August. As for the track, Kapitalist still sounds like something an alien might have barfed, but there’s a sense of cohesiveness coming in the form spooky pads a-la Kuro (think “Ion Park”). I like it, solid dance floor catharsis.*
( 6 ) Chaching is officially the dopey psychedelic dream team of 2006, Alien Mental plays goalie, Mubali and the tourists stay in the defence and Ocelot plays somewhere in mid-field. Unfortunately, everyone is so damn confused of what is it they are supposed to be doing, they forgot about appointing a team captain. On the good side, the Caching team wants to score, so there’s legs’ flying everywhere as they keep running after the ball doing the best they can without realizing this isn’t a football game - it’s a freaking Alien Love Parade. Heavy, heavy stuff all the way... a constant wave of cosmic dread bound to make speed-freak converts. *
( 7 ) We are back on planet Kindzadza where Sweet Dreams come heavily infused with the onslaught of rhythmic tussle we have been accustomed to for some time now: Jarring lines and this complete sense of befuddlement. I like it a bit more than what I have been hearing, but overall is not a favorite.
( 8 ) Stranger was well received around here starting with his appearance last year on manic dragon with Kulu. Since then I have been waiting for a solo track full of Dramatica. A lot of sword action is included and well calculated madness with an awful LSD sample. God I thought we were past that. Well don’t let it ruin the track for you because it’s juicy stuff.*
( 9 ) Flash Dance has that typical Para Halu beat that feels more like dark progressive and despite the lack of changes, it is one of the factors that sets them apart. At this point we are not bringing many new ideas to the table, but rather perfecting the execution with great results.*
( 10 ) Hishiryo in Japanese Buddhist vernacular translates to “Beyond thought; thinking without thought.” It is also the name adopted by Shenz a new French producer making his rounds in underground compilations on the web & in print. S.A.N. is full power sunrise material for the crack of dawn. This is the stuff I have been pointing to -and playing- when people say ‘dark’ has no musicality or feelings. Honestly, just be quiet and listen, it’s the most convincing piece of trance I have heard recently and while the production might not be… up there… it’s certainly right here. Thumbs up. *
If we are to judge this brain juice serving by the number of tracks I happened to like, this is standing as one of the better compilations this year in respect to twisted material. That’s certainly a good start for Tantrumm and for the freaks who enjoy their madness. Anything else –including my comments on the artwork- would probably be bullshit, so let’s just leave it at that.
