Hi All !
Somewhere on the end of 2005 Flow Records released a revolutionary compilation called "Globalise". This one got tons of positive feedbacks all around the globe and we could finally know what are the Yotopiot secret hits. One and half year later Dayan (Tomer Dayan) & Jhon (Yoni Rimon) present the second part of this series. "Globalize 2" is expressing the diversity of Yotopia, which developed over the years - they mix between electro, minimal and progressive and give us feel the special feeling from their sets. Flow Records is host them one more time to spread out thier Gloablize move.

Review :
01. Harper & Green - Lifetime
The Electro feeling is sensed from the first track. "Lifetime" track is kind of introduction for the next to come and it's put the listener on the right mood very fast. I can't explain how, but the track is magnetizes me and forces me to focus on it only. After four minutes of growing kick and slow baseline - the bells are ringing, the choir is are singing and the melody just playing softly...amazing moment.
02. Antix vs Embark - Hammers & Tongs
The Antix brothers were released their third album (Wanderers) this month on Iboga Records. Here Barton & Hayden are cooperating with Embark and show us the deep result. "Hammers & Tongs" track is a pure progressive material packed with Minimal vibes and comfortable flow. This tune took me to journey of the soul and let me feel so refresh and invigorated inside the body. A lovely piece of work.
03. Nivoastro - Cordi
Nivoastro is new name for me and I excited so much from their track here. The massive kick is gives heavy feeling to the track and together with the melodies it's sound like heaven on earth. "Cordi" tune is useful dj tool – it is help to create different harmony of serenity. When the main brake is come, the track gets new life - delightful vibes just going out to the air.
04. Yotopia & Nasser – Symbiosis
Now it is the time of Dayan and Jhon to present their newest stuff. Tomer and Yoni are always bring something happy with their music and here they get help from Nasser. "Symbiosis" track is full of joy, packed with lots of good vibes and beautiful melodies. As one of Yotopia's old fans, I can feel the progress of their production with upgrade style, which focus on the dance floor enjoyment. Keep it up guys.
05. Elegant Universe & Domestic – Slope Point
Now, we get a combination of two talented guys (Miki Litvak & Amir Ardon) together with Ido Ophir, which known by his full on project – Domestic. "Slope Point" track is a lovely tune – Electro style influenced by proggy elements and very unique flow. It's a dance floor twister for sure.
06. Comrade – Crystal Clear
When you look for happy track for make your heart work faster, I'm almost sure that "Crystal Clear" is the right choice for it. This is a track has no limits – melodic and deeper with amazing atmosphere of happiness. Everything is just sit on the right place and it is take the listener for a colorful trip in the progressive fields. On 04:10 you can hear beautiful playing, which leave you breathless for one and half minutes. The next up is feels like an early sunrise with smiley vibes spilled out from the beats. "Crystal Clear" is simply the most special track on this VA.
07. 4D – Slag
"Slag" tune is an example for pure progressive sound. Nine minutes of magical flow with groovy kick and calm bassline. It isn't the ultimate dance floor shaker, but it definitely had hidden power to make the body move conveniently with good feeling inside. Nice work.
08. Brisker & Magitman – Complex
Roman Brisker and Igal Magitman are the Israeli heroes of the Elcetro-Clubby genre in my opinion. They are always producing their music with tons of creativity and fresh ideas. "Complex" track is very jumpy and danceable, the track is alive all the time and provides true pleasure to the listener. One more hit from B&M kitchen.
09. Bjorn Mandry & Thomas Gold – Suppress You
The end is even sweeter than we could ask. This one is chilly and friendly, packed with soft melodies and nice male singing, which turn it to the emotionally side of the scale. The tempo is lower than average and all together help to close "Globalize" second chapter with big smile on the face plus warming feeling.

Very good compilation and nice job done by the Yotopia boys and Pena which reflects the label's enlightened eclectism, covering the whole spectrum of Progressive.
My highlights are the Antix, but I am not sure this track was written in the same vein as the new stuff from their recent album as it reflects more the massive prog house groove the Duo was known for before Wanderer.
The Elegant universe in their electrohousy style. Shorter track than my favourites from them, but I'd say it's better, because more concentrated.
The 4D is a nice techy track signed by the collaboration of Sir James Monro and Grant Collins of Darshan & Excession fame, once again back together.
And the Bjorn Mandry delivers the infectious electro club house that I like, in the Mauritius vein. Tasty!!
I also very much appreciate the valuable CD booklet with a lot of infos on artists. This editorial effort is note worthy and must be encouraged!

The Hammers & tongs track by Antix was written some time before "wanderers", so its correctly heard aden...

i really enjoyed the 4d, harper and green, and antix, tracks, but they all have a high quality,
a few tracks are a little to electroy for my taste,
best flow comp in a while

i also have to say that the cover art is really weak, just straight stock pics.....
daily basis was really slick,
this could have used something a bit more creative,

Really AMAZING!
togheter with Uncharted (another flow boom) & On The Deckz,they are in my opinion, the best progressive (including house & trance)compilations until this month
talking about the sounds
01. Harper & Green - Lifetime:
I'm very surprised with this track,have an unique atmosphere...and the stopping around 3:50 is incredible...really enjoy this one.
02. Antix vs Embark - Hammers & Tongs:
Like aden said,this track is different from the sounds of "Wanders"...more progressive...
but is calm like the others,not a explosive track
good work
03. Nivoastro - Cordi:
Really serious prog!
this track permits a travel inside
specially in the end...with sounds that reminds goa trance.
04. Yotopia & Nasser – Symbiosis:
Just one track of Tomer & Yoni in the comp., but what track!
starts & ends very progressive
I've been played this stuff since i've bought the cd...always smash the dance flor!
And this show the evolution of yotopia guys about their sounds...continues on TOP!
05. Elegant Universe & Domestic – Slope Point:
Just waiting for these guys here in Brazil.
Elegant Universe has been doing a great job this year,and in this track is not different...with some of their electro heavy style,they made always nice progressive.
serious bass...serious atmosphere but this will rock the dance floors
06. Comrade – Crystal Clear:
To keep the cd line...this track is similar with slope point...but is more melodic
fat basslines ever
07. 4D – Slag:
I thought James Monro was not producing in this project...but...simple amazing
another one that permits a travel...just close your eyes and feel the beats...very melodic & in my opinion,psychedelic
enjoyed a lot
08. Brisker & Magitman – Complex:
Another smashing Hit for Roman & Igal!!!!
with their unique progressive house style,they make always danceable & explosive tracks
good work
09. Bjorn Mandry & Thomas Gold – Suppress You:
finally...this prime art
My favorite track of the compilation
This one is happy,danceable,have good vocals...good melodies...some house..some progressive
Incredible....
"so people supress you"
And the Jerome Isma-Ae remix is too damn good too
*************
My favs: 1,4,7,8 & 9 !!
excellent job
congratulations to Flow Records & Yotopia guys
