This is the latest installment in the Psionic series. This label has produced numerous albums solely intended for the dance floor. I'm not quite sure what the cover art is, but it does evoke the idea of energy. The track list looks quite tasty so let's get to it!
Human Nature - Abomination - Hot on the heels of their 2nd album release Planet X Saar Davidov & Eyal Gershon bring us a sample from the TV show "Heroes." As the synth climbs, it joins the thunderous bass and causes my head to nod. That beat travels all the way through the track and loses none of its grooviness! Delicious!
Imaginations End - UFO & Xatrik- I really liked Xatrik's last disc Inside Information and felt it should've gotten more recognition than it did. Here he is with UFO (too lazy to go through all the UFO listings at Discogs) and they offer a pretty good groove. The break slows only momentarily and we are right back into the beat. The sample sounds cool, but as the guy has an accent, I cannot really understand him. Pretty good track.
F-Five - Manifold- "I'm a neuroscientist! I'm kosher! I don't sleep with strange men!" Holy crap, look who crawled out from the abyss! I've been waiting on a 2nd album from you my friend. A nice slow start with a relentless bass and effects and then I am told I am full of crap by the sample. 3.5 minutes in we start picking up groove points as more synths join the party. At the break the track catabolizes and then builds itself up. Pretty good track!
Aleda - Concept- Here is another guy that can do no wrong for me. I loved his two albums, and I don't think I've heard a bad track from this guy. He continues the streak, creating "dark full-on" with an ominous atmosphere. The slight lead at the 4:15 mark screams help me. Time signature change right into the break. While not as heavy duty as his usual, he still manages to create an eerie feeling with this one. Me diggs it!
Harder - Digital Talk - Julien and Luc are back with something...harder. The sample is stuttered which provides a really cool effect.
I am bouncing to this. I've noticed that these 2 have the ability to make a lot out of few sounds. The sounds that are here are used to maximal effect. Very impressive. Metallic leads, lasers, and a nice groove. You know, a 2nd album from you guys wouldn't hurt. Great track!
Rogue Star - Slug - Liam is all over the place and has released all kinds of tracks. With some thick bass and sweet leads the track really stomps. Just when you get used to one lead dominating, uh-uh he switches it up on you...like a Rogue Star. That doesn't really fit, but I put it there anyway. The end of the track is very powerful. Groovy track!
Make or Quake - Electrypnose- Talk about lots of tracks, this guy could fill an external drive with all of his. Vince has made darkpsy albums as well as ambient tracks and all in between. This starts of with some delicate "plucked" synths. The bass is unique with a pull me type of feel. Funk.EE! The soft synths bring an ethereal quality that balances out the bass line. Good track.
Face the Music - Kluster - Over 10 minutes!?! Wow, better pack a lunch. Michael Petterson brings his brand of psy to the table with a driving bass and various whirs and bleeps. The groove here is dirty, like and oil spill and the wailing lead puts you into a dream like state. As you listen to it, you hear the lesser lead crawling underneath, evoking a hopeless feeling. Hear me when I say this, you don't feel the 10 minutes go by. Nice!
Multiple Realities - Scatterbrain - "Welcome to Oblivion." I wasn't a big fan of his album "Infernal Angel", but maybe I just need to give it another spin. This one was one of the slower tracks on the album but still provided the wary feeling. Good synth leads and mechanical sounds. Not bad at all.
Conclusion: I really enjoyed this ride. Digital Psionics to me has always meant quality. If they are releasing full on, it is well produced night time full on. There are no bad tracks here. You can easily tell where there is a shift from twilight full-on to the darker side. It is well done and worth the price. None of the artists fail to disappoint. This is a quality compilation that I am proud to own. Great job Luna and Luke! 8.5/10

great release from the digital psionics labs. really liked the abomination track, was kind of skeptic about it after hearing planet x, but it definitely lives up to the abomination standards. manifold tune is nice and creepy. really digging the deep mysterious melody. concept delivers a monster of a track at 147 bpm! recently he has been releasing some great music, music with more focus and direction as compared to his album. check out legalize and interferencia and you can hear the change. digital talk deliver another piece of synthesized mayhem. also liked the slug (major groovey monster) and electrypnose track (which is actually based on a galaktic monkey track). the slug track is really something, if this tune and zombie are anything to go by, then his new album is going to be off the hook. the scatterbrain track was an interesting experience at 138 bpm. very fat bassline that kind of creeps and bounces all over the place. the xatrik tune with ufo (i.e. psywalker n dark nebula), is an interesting track. i didnt dig the percussions on it very much though, but its fun to hear the fusion of the 3 acts working together. good review once again and a well earned 9/10 in my books

Stand out tracks for me from the album would be:-
Abomination--> i somehow felt it was one of their older works  thats why it sounded really good mite be wrong better after Planet X i was worried what they mite sound with their new work... a good surprise nevertheless..!
Manifold --> Well i heard this one of a live set from manifold approx 1 year ago and was a stand out track in that set that i had in my head.. !
Concept, Electrypnose and Digital Talk have done an impressive Job i just cant get enough of the Digi bOyz.... man o man cant wait for their new work and mindcoRe release  ..!
Big Up too all Involved and to lukepsywalker for bringing this out..!
boom.>!

Manifold and Scatterbrain tracks left me breathless in different state of mind.
Good one by legendry Digital psionics crew

I can't edit my silly "caffeine" fueledpost above, but would like to say seriously:
This compilation is a really nice mix of the modern night psy sound, it creates for me the definite vibe of being out in nature with the lights, U.V hanings and lazers going crazy at midnight onwards.
In particular I enjoy:
Abomination, Manifold, Digital Talk and Scatterbrain tracks most of all, but there are no bade ones on this.
Keep 'em rolling out Digital Psionics! |

I was happy to see Scatterbrain back on track finally!
I love does little touches ahhahahhahaaha killer man.
just love the synth work on Manifold and Abomination tracks killer twisted melodies...
finally Electrypnose rocking the dancefloor with his new style i'm used to high speeds from him and now his all about progessive with attitude, and twillighted melodies very special I must admit.
good to see artists flip from one side to another in their style I adds taste to their work.....
Great job you psionic freaks
