01. Omiq Project - The Rebirth
This one begins with a very catchy melody, sure to do a deep imprint on your mind. Euphoric pads gets you gliding with this tune. A noteworthy segue into an ambitious IDM track. Really enjoyed listening to this one. Fat synths and clean production as well as some pleasant juggling of sounds over a break beat, great work playing with timbral characteristics of the melodies.
02. Gordon Shumway - Jeff Kills
Opens with some fx'ed pads and then deep stomping, dark entrancing grooves , some serious night atmosphere, lots of smart variations in percussions, Overall this track has lot of clubby influences to it.
03. Binary - Hard On The Dance Floor
Starts with spacey atmospheres, some irregular beats and stabs and a voice sample "Re-production or commercial usage of this record......" like a prohibitory message, and then starts the rolling bassline, a bit too bouncy and technoish for my taste, I liked the appregiated sound that lays the ground work on this track.
04. Simian - Shas-oh
Track kicks off hard-edged sounding riffs with reverb fx and flows in with a phat bassline and some very organic melody that keeps repeating itself, plays around a bit before a killer synth tears into the mix. Nasty sounding leads, Slowly builds up to a psychedelic peak. Things tone down a bit around 4 minutes making it a more sinister atmosphere, madness lurking in every nook and corner of your mind all the way till the end.
05. Kryptum - Sequential Illusions
This one;s an extremely obscure dark industrial sounding psychedelic music composition, right from the beginning. Interesting and trippy sounds in the mix. Track plays out quite straight forward and banging with a certain seriousness that works quite effectively making it very easy to get pulled into the frequencies and rhythms and have a good time.
06. Ethereal Forms - Bouncing The Nether
Intro begins with Spacey soundscapes that don;t last too much and breaks to a fast rolling bassline, some very spooky organic leads, taking you on a roller-coaster ride in the deepest trip of your consciousness, good percussions and highly appreciated composition by me , this track has something that tells you the special knack of throwing psychedelia at you, would love to hear more from this act in the future.
07. LAB - Extraction Point
This is a no fuss track, Mr. Lab comes straight on a roll with lots of ebbs and flowing sounds, like catching a ride on a particle of energy. Synths running in an obscure pattern, Sharp percussions, pretty routine style since i've reviewed a couple of this artists releases.
08. Brain Train - Huge
This track is just as its name implies, A Huge and heavily loaded acid train, crazy riffs and driving synth sounds, will surely make a psychonaut;s poison as soon as he boards on this one. The track with the highest BPM on this compilation IMO. The track gets more complex and demented towards the end.
09. ZenMind - Cosmic Trip
Twisted sounding intro with some delayed vocals, pretty heavy sounding bassline, dark and mysterious atmosphere perfectly created on this one. Wicked synthwork done on this one with a slight dash of old goa melodies very subtle in its approach but adds up to the hypnotic groove that old goa music did. Ethereal and clean sounding production with overtones of space as the name of the track implies.
10. Tetrahedron - Lodge Of Oniric Prophecies
Starts with some Uplifting pads , putting you in a state of happiness that we all conscious beings know doesn;t last for long and how hard we wished it lasted long, lush synth pads over deep laid back beats. Great melodies and artistic value, frequency manipulation was exceptional. This can surely work as a therapeutic track for minds that are looking for that perfect launch pad into world of spirituality, but thats just my opinion. wink.gif
11. Sérgio Walgood - Crystal Constellations
Very deep mellow dreamy track with lovely samples. Track evolves graciously as a tribal sounding drum takes the listener to some distant shore as synths wash over the ears. Track evolves again deeper and eerier as the listener is returned back to a sense of wonder. One great journey into the unknown full of deep explorations. The longest track (11:57 ) on this compilation so you can imagine the journey
Bonus Track - Indepth - End of the Tunnel (2007 rmx)
Dark atmosphere kicks in, impressive synthwork creating an weird break beat track sounding with some dark
overtones. Enchanting vocal sample. Massive flow on this track concluding the varied faire on this compilation.
Top Notch compilation by En Sof, looking forward to hear some more of such amalgamations. My fav track on this one 01, 04, 05, 06, 09, 10, 11.
  Be well...
