nice cover art!!

Psykovsky vs Cosmo — So Many Q
KinDzaDza vs Cosmo — Hydro Panic
KinDzaDza, Energy Loop, Terranoise — Cyber Force
Osom — Night Flirt
Osom — Bilkuul Ajnabii Hai
Osom Meets Matutero — Brain Diggers
Osom — Activate Drivers
Osom — Berg Sturz
Psykovsky Da Furious — Hydro Phone
Psykovsky Da HighDzaDza — Technology To Develop

this is the third album released on tantrumm records, as you cna see it is various artists, but it is allmost and osom album, because all tracks are involved with Osom or an Osom member. Osom is a trio consisting Psykovsky, Kindzadza and CPC, but i have heard that CPC is replaced by Cosmo now.. correct me if I'm wrong please.

If you take a look at the bpm's, you can see they are extremely high for Psytrance, 150-160 bpm and one track is even faster..

Let us take a look at the tracks

1) Psykovsky vs Cosmo - So Many Q (152 bpm)
Psykovsky released his debut album last year which was very astonishing and Cosmo also released his debut album this year which was also amazing!
This track lifts off with bassline immediately pounding at 152 bpm, very crazy and lots of schreachy soudns like where used of psykovsky and cosmo, nice blend of their crazy styles, a lot of psychedelic glitches and hooks you wouldn't expect, not even for these two! Great track

2) Kindzadza vs Cosmo - Hydro Panic (152 bpm)
Again Cosmo and Kindzadza, the last one doesn't need an introduction i think?
This guy is an of the best dark trance producers ever imo, so my expections are high. The intro starts with a slower bassline and some R2D2 sounds, then it speeds up to extremely fast! then there is a filtered bassline that is getting higher and higher! Then the real bassline lifts off, and we are supplied witth some crazy kindzadza rythms and some wicked cosmo glitches. the bassline is not straight ahead like we are used in like 90% of all the darkpsuy, but they platch with the pitch/notes all the time. This track is comparable with r2d2 on acid, very intense track. I love it!

3) KinDzaDza, Energy Loop, Terranoise - Cyber Force (150 bpm)
Again our friend Leo in this one, but with two artists i have never heard a track of.
Again a very crazy, intense glitchy track, but a bit more straight ahead and fuller than the previous two. This is the slowest track of the album but it is still damn fast, pretty ironic huh . I like it a lot!

4) Osom - Night Flirt (174 bpm)
174 bpm!!! what the fuck, this must be hardcore all the way.. allthough the bpm-counter on my virtual dj gives this the bpm is constantly shifting.. you got to hear it to understand it. Very original intro, but it looks like it is sampled.. whatever, i like it, the bassline fades and at allready 160 bpm i guess, now it is getting harder, faster, filtered, they play with it all the time with some schreachy sounds after it.
very glitchy and crazy, but I think that it is too fast and over the top for most trance listeners, since it isn't really trance anymore, but more of psycore or breakcoregoa I don't care, i like it a lot, but i would have focussed less on the basslines..

5) Osom — Bilkuul Ajnabii Hai (160 bpm)
This track is like a shorter and bit altered version of Osom - Be Cool, previoulsy released on Lyserg Lesson 1, don't get the use of this guys, next track pls

6) Osom Meets Matutero - Brain Diggers (160 bpm)
I am not familiar with the work of Matutero, I only have a remix by Psykovsky of him, but i heard positive comments of it, so expections are high again.
Again a fucking fast track, it is again in the same style as the previous tracks, allthough the first minutes are a bit empty, i like it but it is not that good as the other imo..

7) Osom - Activate Drivers (160 bpm)
Again a very hardbassline in this one, starting pretty off rhytm
Psychedelic all the way, but again a bit too empy at some points. Very good track off course, but it had better ones

8) Osom - Berg sturz (156 bpm)
They slow down the speed again, but it is still fast as hell. Pretty playful effects and more rhytmic than the previous one, higher basslines, and very crazy melodies is this one, this one is the most melodic track of the compilation until now and i think it is the best one for the dancefloor together with the 3rd track.

9) Psykovsky da Furious - Hydro Phone (154 bpm)
This track is again psykovsky, together with Furious, i'm not familiar with this guy so i don't know what to expect. Also pretty melodic, but very detuned and phone like as the title refers to. Looks like the two were stoned and where pressing random phone buttons and recorded it as a melody.. pretty good tho, and the and got an original bassline, instead of the typical 3 short notes, the just made one lone hard note.. nice track, very original and noisy

10) Psykovsky da Highdzadza - Technology to Develop (152 bpm)
as you might guess, the Highdzadza stands for Highko and Kindzadza.
Highko is half of Highcosmos, the other half if Cosmo from the first two tracks. Highko also released his debut album this year and it was nothng more than amazing to me, he drew the borders of psytrance to a new direction if you ask me.
So very curious what this will give!
To be honest i am a bit dissapointed, it is a good track, the first half is way too calm in comparison with the other tracks, well maybe this is a good thing becasue this album was way too intense.. the second half is very funny tho! it changes direction and the bassline gets melodic, but not trance-melodic then there comes some accoustic guitar, which is probably sampled on paper this may soudn cheesy, but it isn't.. as you all know psykovsky is the master in sampling without making it sounds cheesy! So the last minutes make up a lot, because the frist where just soem minimal glitches+ bassline.


So my final verdict is: Very psychedelic album, they pushed the borders even more far and this might be the trance equivalent for breakcore or hardcore..
if you liek hardcore and breakcore, this might be somethign for you
If you like rhytmicly building up dark trance with basslines straight ahead, i suggest you look somewhere else.. I bet this sounds fucking crazy on acid, mayb a bit intense to listen it in one time.. The only bad thing about this disk is that it suffers from the same problem as both Highko and Cosmo albums.. all the tracks use the same sounds but in different directions.. so if you would listen to it quick, you wouldn't recognise any of the tracks.. BUT most all the tracks got something original on the other hand, so on the other hand they don't sound the same :s
Hard to follow me huh h34r:
Another bad thing is that it is not that good for the dancefloor.. reasons: it is too fast to dance long on it and all of the tracks have strange rhytms, which is very unpredictable.. i think most tracks would be good to end a dark set as climax
i bet they are bitches to mix too

Favorites: ALL!! but especially track 3,4 and 8 (the last part of 10 too)
9/10

osom is just psykovsky and kindzadza, no cosmo.
cool album though a bit too fast for my tastes. liked the matutero vs osom, cyber force, and activate driver tracks. rest of it was too hectic for my home listening hehe.

heard it at a friends place and it sounded totally whacked out !! theres madness written all over !! the osom meets matutero is just totally at another level. altho i must admit that its to much to digest all at once .. maybe one or two tracks at a time           missing plug-in

Yes i agree this track is taking the cake in this album great bassline loads of acid with great layering, we can definately see where all kdd,loop and max have added their madness in the track.

Otherwise what the fuck is Osom doing with the 174 BPM track its bloody fast....nuts.

Was dissapointed with psykovsky and highzadza track its just not music to my ears...powerfull sound thats it seems like highko has ran out of ideas.

A decent album lots of acid in it, but sometime i just feel its not making sense to me...But hey kdd,loop and max has really delivred some intelligent psy music.

Kudos to fria and i know the next album is going to make people run.

bom
