Multiple Personalities was well received last year (at least by me) and the second installment seems to carry that same frantic line of work. The idea even at this point remains kind of novel, a versus only compilation with respected names packed together in a combo of hellish madness. If all of this still sounds tantalizing let’s proceed to the main dishes.
Technical Hitch has been brooding under the table for quite some time now and riots are being declared on his name. Zoolog (Mikkel Jais) is rather unknown to me, but the Israeli-Danish flourished well. What we face here is frantic, dangly molten effects -with one synth too many- whirpooling binary roars and bleeps straight to cloud nine
Australia comes represented with none other than Dark Nebula and Cyanescens. It’s been a while since anything from the Nebula crossed to these dark wastelands from their energetic vibrations. Probably because they made a different type of music. ‘The Delivery’ ends up being somewhat awkward and misplaced. It’s still the same fullon-ish underbelly hyped up a few BPM’s from the norm, with all sorts of sonic molestation in between funky stuff and trying way too hard to sound eerie. The problem is not that ‘they are not dark enough for my marker-painted nails’ but that both worlds don’t seem to mix well, at least for me.
“Stereophometh” is the combination of Brazil’s finest in moody sounds: Baphomet Engine and Stereographic. Their offering rests in the realm of metal and hard core, relentlessly riffing their way through existence. Imagine an electronic Sepultura / Brujeria remix with the screams and all.
C-P-C vs Para Halu is drool-worthy. Finely tuned, uplifting notes and cohesive sounds strapped to a Russian beat. If you have been following the Russians lately you will notice there’s predominantly two kinds of kicks: The super-sized, overproduced punching monster, and the muffled one, which takes into consideration people suffering from heart problems. “Prince of Darkness” is an example of the latter one. Ace mixing on the bubblies, the ominous pads and the accompanying FX weaving in and out. A valid excuse to believe there is still something intelligent going on in this side of moon.
Flipknot I had not heard of before but the information seems to come from the mother ship with Kerosene Club on board, working together with Dj Jun. The characteristic KC leads start of the shindig before it trails off in mutually acknowledged sonic bastardization. From then on is a battle to the death orchestrating madness. Lots of liquid bearings and technical wizardry on display. The winner of this Indian-Japanese rendezvous is clearly “Working Secrets”.
KDD and Ocelot is another good reason to re read the roster list one more time. “Quack Attack” is noise galore, oozing high pitched squeaks and distortion amidst quack noises and the relentless KDD beat mode blurring into Ocelot's own creations.
Kukuruku sounds like strange breed of chicken that lay no eggs and eats corn for two. Stranger and Zik produce the old squelchy stuff (that at this point might start sounding trivial) a bleep of chaos, confusion and daze goodness.
I have been most impressed by Hishiryo’s work and D-fragmental is some new dude I have no clue about (Esteban Zapata), but four hands are certainly better than two… especially if we have two brains present. There’s no quarrel with this one in general, but “Land of the Mad” leaves no room to second guess beat variations besides relentless 16th note hum-drums, banging away at 154 BPM’s. It somehow itches discomfort like a Parkinson’s patient in the midst of a tickling fit. The mid ranges are well adorned since devastation is definitely in mind here, but when you know things could have turned out better because the artists have the knack to do so (and have proven it before), one awaits further development in future tracks.
Blisargon Demogron and Phobos Azazel bring down a final doze of Macedonian expertise with their own version of the “Black Forest”, looking not to trail too far from the norm, going that extra mile in the delay juices and confusion artifices, but nothing really new.
As it was the case with the first Multiple Personalities, a good doze of interesting versus come on display. Some gems inside will be found and is hard not too when you have so much talent. A little unsure of what to make of the last stretch though, mostly because twisted psychedelic seems to be partying in two main roads: Freeform, warped music that does not necessarily convey the idea of dark, because it is looking to be mind-bending more than scary itself; and the second which has entrenched itself in dark themes, exulting a neo-gothic fetishism for technological mayhem and metal elements. Either way, you get a serving of both in this platter and they perform well in both fields regardless of whatever the hell I think about it.

As the first one, this Multiple personnalities are good and give us a great part of madness! Each trax is a good mix of different influence between the artists!!!
I will just review trax i like but all the trax are good and i played a lot this cd in party and its strong and the effect is garanty!!!!!!!
"Stereophomet" is dark metal tune who catch u and dont let u go away until the end, the combinaison between the both project is very excellent and make u rox the dancefloor as baphomet have the secret, excellent trax and wait more of this from the both project.
"Kukuruku", a classical tune from two great greece artist, one more time they proof us their talent, acid, trippy, mad trax, a bit long for me but excellent trax!!
"Hishiryo vs Defragmental", for me its my favorite trax cuz this one have somethings special, the trax turn around 156 bpm and its very deep, a bit different than the other trax from them but more deep and its funny cuz when i listen the first time, i found the trax a bit minimal but after, in fact the trax take u and put u in a Land of the Mad and at the end, u just can say wowow the trax catch me and put me in their madness, its a special trax and the two guys knows their job and do it with passion, its that i like in this trax, u can feel them inside!!!
"Blisargon Demogron and Phobos Azazel" is the final trax, the pure tune to finish this excellent cd, this trax will make rox everyone in the dancefloor, to be honnest in generality i dont like Blisargon trax but this one in vs with Phobos is a killer one, somethings dark and trippy and powerfull, the trax turn around 152 bpm and dont let u quiet until the end, really good work and wait more as it from them!
I can say to everyone that it's an honnor to have this cd and play this cd in party, so big thx for Manic Dragon and wait more compil as it!!
So thx for all the artist and especially for our french and swiss guys hishiryo and defragmental!!!

Pretty cool compilation IMO. For me either the tracks were really good or very ordinary. Enjoyed the Bhapo vs. Stereographic , CPC vs. Para Halu , Kindzadza vs. Ocelot , Kukuruku and Hishiryo D-Fragmental. Good stuff guys! Keep kicking up the dust

CPC vs Para Halu - Prince Of Darkness! yes yes yes. Love the mental experiments and the wonderful journey it takes you on. Plays with the mind more than with the feet which makes it stand out even more.
More please!
