Sonic seasoning is an interesting deviation from the Trishula sound. For one is not compiled by Mouka himself, Dj Chrysalid actually did the honors this time and you can tell there’s a woman’s touch in this mixture of energies. The cover is enough to attest it, just look at those colors.

The ride starts with Alex & Leonid (Attoya) . Their music has been quietly passing around rosters in profile labels. Word on the street is, there might be one or two albums on the pipeline. Besides being proud members of the 150’s club, their sound signature is clearly defined with harmonic drops in between all the madness. This concoction has been working rather well for them up this point and “The Missed Memory” is a good way to get things cracking.

Mind Distortion System is off course Jara de Los Santos who has turned into another Trishula regular. At this point I’m not sure how the Fear and Loathing samples settle with me, but at least is not the same sample the last million people chose. The idea behind it is probably trying to convey a desert feeling, which is all fine and dandy with me. It certainly does the trick with high pitched rhythmic accompaniments and whizzing, crunching, guzzling sounds. Besides that is probably a good idea if you hear it yourself.

This one is a slight mix up. Apparently track three got swapped with four and this is supposed to Safidafi, but it’s clearly Ocelot. So let’s just proceed with that. “Sunayata” Is actually Sanskrit for a Kadampa branch of Mahayana Buddhism that relies on the teachings of emptiness. Naturally the track is silence... ha… no, it comes loaded with that crispy, droning, rasping synth action, filter sweeps and intelligent beats. It’s a big wobble of candy, yummy.

Continuing with Safidafi, this one is yet another Greek newcomer (they seem to have blossomed this year) and the sound is not that different from the other countrymen. Strong, wispy, and extremely driving. Interesting.

Dimitry Santas (Dark Elf) carries forward the Greek wave with coherent synth structures, very paddy, expansive to near sci-fi action (this is obviously the part where the bad guy shows up). The interesting deviation comes actually in the beat: It’s solid tribal galore. The effects and droning shit down below complete the atmosphere fully, as to leave you wanting “More More More”

Orestis continues with his particular knack, drifting to slightly dark realms and “I’m psycho” samples that sink on nearly mechanic rumbles, and bleep malfunctions on delay bliss. The content is great, the arrangement & delivery is perfect, but I’m just missing somewhat of a varied beat.

Coming about describing anything these two pull together (Jellyheadz) is just beyond concepts. Language fails here. So let’s just compare it to previous stuff. Their material is getting weirder and stranger with every single track they release. It seems that is the knack a psychedelic artist deals with these days, to explore how far the thread can go before it breaks and you end up in randomness. If you enjoy their post-madness phase this will do, for those of us who enjoyed “Insomnia” or the likes from last year, this deviation is definitely on the strange side. Either way, we are not too far off from the norm these days…

Vicious Alchemy (Jelly and if I’m not mistaken DJ Chrysalid herself), whom just had their first release on Mechanophobia. “Alien Syndicate” imprints that same wild, alien-side of Jelly, with wispy quasi-Vangelis synth’s, or at least it has that retro feel. Anyway, it’s nice to hear the energy and interesting ideas of a newcomer in action, with a guiding hand to trail those ideas in line. Catchy stuff.

Melorix is Psycore with the push of a button, relentless, unwavering, minimal on the effects and down to business. Forget the trippy stuff around the edges, or the technical flair and just give me a beat, with a riff rasping to no end. Down below you find the wind roaring and… ‘shut the fuck up…” nuff’ said.

I hadn’t heard anything from Kraft in a while and the first thing that pops to my head is invariably “Trancepero” from last year. Pavel has shown an interesting progression from then, exploring swinging noises and dissolution of sounds. This is the kind of stuff that will really take you knowhere when the time is right.

In retrospect Sonic Seasoning serves well for that purpose. The sound score for a sixty minute trip. Along the ride the quality tends to fluctuate a bit, but that might just be the lack of good neurons talking. As usual, a Trishula ride is always worth looking into.           elementoftime.net

Some nice tracks on offer here and it's a compilation worthy of your money. Pity about track 2, with that stupid sample "we were somewhere around barstow when the drugs began to take hold" that has been overused in psytrance to the point of sheer irritation. It also irritates here, which makes the track one of the worst on the cd.           "Subconscious unravels at the point of death, and all time it has known erupts into a moment. As death extinguishes us, so we become it."
