As let guess the title of this compilation, this one is a dark full on style dedicated for night peaktime dancefloors.
I like very much the 2 Cosmo Chaos tracks which are quite bouncing, punchy with some melodies, i got a little preference for the one done with Lemurians.
The Exaile’s stuff has a nice worked dark atmosphere a bit less kickin’, so results more subtle to my ears.
Next one from Respector doesn’t sound at all dark psytrance for me. I mean you’ve got here typical fat kick & rumbled bass from Hardcore-tribe, don’t like this one.
Then comes a good groovy bassline that’s what i retain of this track coz. the distorted electric guitar riffs on the second part of the track don’t bring the usual adrenalistic Skazi’s touch.
I discovered Sesto Sento with their first track Soap Bubbles and so was expecting something great from them.
The problem here, is that The Year 83 is average , honest but nothing special.
I think that dark full on doesn’t fit to their predilection style.
‘Are you a cat’ what a strange gimmick sample which appears followed by some cat’s vicious mewing in Erotic Fantasy.
I wonder if Alf isn’t in reality Neuromotor …
Nevermind, the track is very good, energic, melodic and got some a nice percusive break on the second part of the track.
After it’s metal dark psytrance time with Lemurians vs Guitarminator for Metal Drops.
Indeed, the appreciation of this track depends on if you’re keen or not onto rock
Metal riffs. For me the rock-metal side isn’t too extrem and can be easily listenable even if i normally never listen to metal.
Analog Mohicans (Jörg+Andy/Lemurians)
«Odin » ( north german god of war and knowledge) got a gimmick of a kinda foghorn plus vickings shouting samples, results for consequence a pretty nice atmosphere.
French band Psyside finish at speed, on a jerky riffs production, not vey subtle but effective without any doubt on all dancefloors.
