VA - Joker - Deja-vu Records
DJVCD004 June 2004

02 - Atomic Pulse Vs D.Groovy - Blue Nature 136bpm
03 - Beat Bizarre - Monochrome 136bpm
04 - Double Dragon - Spiked - rmx 144bpm 
05 - Deja-vu Project - Pass of the season 143bpm
06 - Scorb - Magmite 142bpm 
07 - Audialize - Brain activity 142bpm
08 - Suria - She is real 145bpm 
09 - Psykovsky - North or south 139bpm 
The cd starts out with a beautiful progressive house styled track with some occasional passing vocals. It is quite psychedelic though and builds up into a nice melody near the end. It reminds me of an old Sasha track and a Cass and Slide track the former played a few years ago with nice epic sweeping atmospheric sounds. (4/5, 3 for originality)
The next track is completely different and plods along with a stompy reverbing bassline building up into percussion and layered sounds. A big breakdown works nicely with some distorted creepy samples ending with the basskick kicking in again with some nice bongo drums. A good track and better to what I would expect from Atomic Pulse of late. (3.5/5)
Beat Bizarre's track is from their recent Iboga album. This is a dark, trippy progressive track featuring excellent pads like distorted liquid vocal samples, nice dribbley sweeps and a repetitive wooden percussion noise. Kicks in later with a more uptempo rhythm and some distorted reverbing pads. A very good early night track. (4/5)
I forget what the original of Spiked sounds like but the remix is pretty awesome. The track builds up into a powerful melody over which a wobbly sound follows in support. It then breaks out into crazy mechanical trippy sounds building pace. A quick little goa-ey melody slips in as the track slows pace again then the original melody kicks in as the track builds up again. (4/5)
The Deja-vu project have made an ok hard minimal track with sounds we are more accustomed to with crazy russian acid pads wooshing in and about. Nothing special here. (2.5/5)
Scorb has made an interesting bassline for this track which is heavy but groovy. The track builds up into some twisted sounds rolling into some Scorby dribbly wobble acid sounds. It soars down into screeching sounds, interesting percussion and samples then soars back into the ionosphere  Scorb then turns some acidy vocal pads into a clever little melodic like pattern. A very clever and fun night track which gets better as it moves along. (4.5/5)
Audialize's track starts off with nice wobbly sitar riffs and enters into an Israeli styled full-on track. I don't think its anything original as it reminds me of the Space Buddha and Beat Hackers style. It's still an enjoyable morning track with a nice guitar like melody and sweeping atmospheric synths. A nice Indian tabla and female vocal pops in and out. (3/5)
Suria has made a great dawn goa styled track here with a slightly different arpeggio bassline which alternates in it's pitch in sequence. Nice dark acid squelches and soaring goa sounds. Closer to the end of the track it hints of a rising sun with little daytime Logic Bomb/ Silicon Sound like pads running around. I like this (4/5)
The last track by Psykovsky is a track that will definately last with time I think. It starts off with some Chemical Brothers like sweeping atmopsheric pads and samples the guitar riff from the Rolling Stones 'Lady Jane.' A fat daytime bassline kicks in and a myriad of sweeping goa styled tearing sounds trap you in at every angle forming a bubble of sound encased with hypnotic repetitive pads. This is one of the most psychedelic morning tracks I have heard. It's difficult to describe and kind of reminds me of The Beatles - 'Tommorow never knows.' It builds up into a heavy goa melody that swirls around whilst a slowed down breathing like sound rotates above your head. This track is spectacular. It slows down at the end into 'Lady Jane' complete with a full verse from the track and 'Dark Side of the Moon' like trippy echoeing laughter and sounds. (5/5)
4/5

There is an amount of great tracks on this compilation but my whole expression was little bit disturbed by their style-difference. Maybe it is my mistake in way of music perception but it seems like tracks compiled bit mechanically and they do not fit each other well.

I thought this CD was going to be better, it's been in psyshop's top 10 for a while so I figured it must be good. I only like the Double Dragon track and the last track was original and interesting, the rest was boring for me. I wish I would have saved my money on this one. SORRY |
