Psyshop says:
The tracklist of Digital Performers speaks for its self.
After the great success of All Systems Go, which was the debut compilation of the label, here comes the second collection from the Exposure Productions laboratories.
Digital Performers is a storming compilation featuring ten exclusive and previously unreleased tracks from the finest and most established artists of the psychedelic trance scene carefully selected by Detox the manager of Exposure Productions and digitally mastered by Space Cat.
-------------------------------
my review :
1. All of that
ALTOM
This track opens with a smooth sample from the Indian movie Bombay and progresses into a very groovy bassline. The track is very morning induced and goes into several short breakdowns that keep u asking for more. The violin samples from the intro kick back at 5:15.
2. Speaker speaker
ORION
Much faster than the previous track... this ones got a strong bassline with lots of energy. keeps you jumping till the end of the 4th minute where it almost goes silent and after a 20 second build up throws it all back in your face... this one will keep your feet moving
3. Opus drive
WIZZY NOISE
Ohhh .. this track it too much... starts of slow but moves into a deep wizzy sound. lots of scary screaming type samples with a baseline that doesnt quit. the track is full of one second fullstops and then come pounding back... makes you want to shout out with the beat. Wizzy does it again and its my pick of the lot!
4. Deuchland
LOGIC BOMB
This ones got a simple bassline... but excellent samples. starts off with female vocals and then male vocals that go "colors running down like waterfalls" ... overall, the best way to describe this one is "wicked"
5. Hellraiser
DINO PSARAS VERSUS DEEDRAH
This ones all about the bassline. Starts off very simple but radically progresses as beats are thrown in,taken out and twisted around... with mad samples all the while... the track goes absolutely nuts in the 5th minute, completey changing on itself with a different bassline and some gothic type vocals. Another fav!
6. Oranda
ASTRIX
When first heard this track i was really dissapointed till the 3rd minute cos it sounded like the typical stuff Astrix thows out .. all sounding the same. But the middle of 3rd minute had some funky samples. Critics may say it sounds the same as some of his old stuff ... but listen to it and it'll grow on you... perfect track to play when the suns blazing down. feels that way.
7. Passengers
SILICON SOUND
Silicon Sound teams up with Jaia on this one and its a perfect combo. Amazing intro with female vocals blend into a thick dark bassline. Very spacy sound with samples of space-radio communication. This track starts off sounding Dark but turns into a very fullon morning sound. Lots of goodies in this track and one hellova buildup at 3:30.
8. Alien technology
ALIEN PROJECT
Track stats off very simple. steady bassline. kinda monotonous and boring... but it all turns around in the middle of the 3rd minute. very old-school israeli sounding samples are thrown in and they keep the track alive till the end.
9. H2O
SPACE CAT
I was waiting for someone to throw in some electric guitar samples... didnt think it would be Space Cat though!! This is a very powerful morning track. Relentless bassline with Avi's trademark sounds that keep it kicking.
10. Mind splinter
SYNTHETIC
This track is very different from the rest. Very minamalistic sound. The bassline is weird but in a good way. Very twisted dark sounds on an almost breakbeat bass. cant really dance to this but its great to trip out to.
----
Suprisingly with all the big names it has on it, the album actually lives up to the hype. It's more inclined to the morning side of things but it has its moments of dark-psy. Track 1 will appeal to a lot of people who have heard the Bombay sound and Tracks 3 and 5 are blasting ... they themselves make this one a keeper.

When I saw the disc first on Psyshop I was happy that there is a VA comming out with well respected artists.
After I heared all the album I must say I am disapointed....again.
These artists, who have alot of experince and knowlege of music seem to stay with the same formula.
As a DJ, I look for new sounds and new Developments in the worls of trance...and I am sorry to say that music that is comming out in the year 2005 is not what it should be!!!
Please, Dazzle me! |

the album as whole is quite solid and smooth for a morning session. Altom is excellent as an intro track, as well orion, who really surprised me with a deep tripping groove.
however, this album sounds like if it has been released a year ago. especially the space cat track, which is an almost exact replica of the space cat track found on tokyo 24/7 (phantasm)... or is just me?
Good release, hope the next one's are gonna be better

yup this is a good cd
with misha on wizzy orion and deedrah as the best
couldnt however believe that altom has put such a shocking melody throughout the majority of an otherwise great track...
even the melody in the astrix track is less offensive
altom - aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!  |

I just got my copy.. Special thanks to DETOX for throwing the competition. I still can't believe i won 
After a fast first listen, i can say i really love the synthetic tune, the logic bomb track, wizzy noise, orion, altom's intro, Passengers and Hellraiser..
more complete review to come when i can digest this masterpiece properly.

1) Altom - All Of That 140 BPM
We start with another excllent tune by Altom ! Beatifull intro with dramtic melody and right after than a sensitive base line on slow tempo. This track is just a tasting from what we will hear in continuation.
2) Orion - Speaker Speaker 145 BPM
After the introduction , we get to a dance floor bomb from artisan's workshop of Jean Borelli ! U can identify Orion style anytime anywhere - a lot wisdom and consideration here. Every effect or kick in the right place. Impressive tune !
3) Wizzy Noise - Opus Drive 142 BPM
A night tune without trace of happiness like all Wizzy Noise's tunes. This tune intended for the late hours of the night when all the place is dark and ppl just diging diging...full madness! I have no doubt for the way this tune works on the dark dance floors.
4) Logic Bomb - Deuchland 145 BPM
Logic unique style all over ! psychedelic tunes with many strange effects. U can find this speical tempo just in Logic Bomb tracks , it's something between the night and the morning. Pure psychedelic trance like the old days , I like it !
5) Dino Psaras VS. Deedrah - Hellraiser 145 BPM
Promising collaboration between two of legendsof the trance scene in all times. U can hear Dino & Dado touch here. Many changes in one tune - sometimes scary and sometimes happy , sometimes Dino and sometimes Dado Well done.
6) Astrix - Oranda 142 BPM
The full on king with an excllent track ! amazing melody with feelings. If u want to to be excited , just play this track in 4:20 , close your eyes and let the melody take you to other planet ! catchy and unforgettable. One of Astrix's best tracks.
7) Silicon Sound featuring Jaia - Pssengers 142 BPM
Full power morning ! Silicon Sound together with Jaia made an excllent job here. Full on in the highest level. The morning never look so good !
8) Alien Project - Alien Technology 145 BPM
One of the leadings of the full on style - Ari Alien Project. Nice alien vocals with killer base line and effects turn this tune to a powerfull. Happy atmopshere and positive energies native of this track.
9) Space Cat - H2O 145 BPM
One of my favorite artists , Avi never disppoint me. The track start with some rock guitars and right after that , Avi unique kick start ! The track not rest for a second , always in active. One of the full on hits , this one going to play all around the world.
10) Synthetic - Mind Splinter 140 BPM
Dadi with second track on this comp but this time he is alone, maybe it's preferable  When this talented guy sit in front of the computer , terrific stuff going out , like this tune. Dado lower the tempo and produce magical tune ! It's a perfect way for closing this album.
Summary , this compilation include the best artists in diffrent styles (dark , full-on). This impressive track list is not for nothing , every singel tune produced in high quality.
Go and buy it ! |
