A pretty nice compilation here.
My favorites are "Rinkadink and Green Reefah - Blank" and "Sesto Sento and Intergalactic - Sarcastic Bee".
Rinkadink is one of the most interesting acts from South Africa, and I'm always surprised with the quality of the tracks. Psychedelic, pumping, and full of energy - Man, I can't wait for the Rinkadink album 
I'm normally not a Sesto Sento fan (though I quite enjoy their sideproject Ferbi Boys), but their track with Intergalactic is a real gem.
Generally it's a pretty good compilation, with some highlights, and some (for me) weak tracks.
My verdict: 6/10 - and a good buy if you're into the style.

well, i am a big fan of this one, congratulations alchemy crew
favourite track is probably the rinky vs green refah one, really great psy tune. then, of course, we have Fatali's debut which i absolutely love and now so does my office.. though i didn;t give them much choice  for sure we have a talent to watch here. sesto sento and intergalactic kick it big time with there sarcastic bee and ground zero sample some blues brothers, all very pleasant.. we are going to hear all these tracks a lot i think

Alchemy getting better and better with each release, thats very good.
My favourites from VM are Sesto Sento vs Intergalactic, Groundzero ( this one is a real surprise for me, its a major smasher! ) and Psydrop.
Eskimo and Fatali tracks r great debut and as I saw Alchemy has many many Fatali tracks signed keep up Shane, let me know about the next release asap!

PSYMAG REVIEW:
Memory Flash is a fresh uplifting spirited full on CD that can go well at night but will definitely spark up the dance floor during any morning set, while the sun has just begun to wake spreading her warm beams randomly upon the earth beneath. The CD features a few of the newest Alchemy’s discoveries as well as more senior talents. Fatali, debuts with Ultrasmooth, the opening track of this compilation, a straight forward full powered uplifting melodic piece that just rock, very sunny and dreamy. Fatali’s debut release is expected next month and will include a Rmx of this exact piece. Eskimo aka Dj Junya is another newcomer which is expected to release a debut album soon (Phantasm Records UK) he contributes nowhere to go to the selection, a bouncy groovy baseline topped by FX sweet but doesn’t really go nowhere. Sesto Sento & Intergalactic 2 new but already very respected groups join forces in producing Sarcastic Bee, it starts off strong with the familiar Intergalactic beat, and even though there is nothing to special about this track it’s a sure hit on the dance floor and it also takes the compilation back to the liveliness opened with Ultasmooth. Rinkadink & Green Reefah – Blank is my favorite here, Rinkadink keeps again and again to cook up progressive killers that sound so full, energetic and totally psychedelic, strong driving baseline, this one has a story of its own – Perfect. Way to go by Groundzero is next, collaboration between Alchemies own Dark Soho & its Head dude Dj Shane Gobi, and it sure is a way to go after the brilliant track before. The track continues with the adventurous essence this time leading into more twisted and darker states, another sure hit. The CD has an excellent flow filled with energy. Stralia – Celebra, the next in the saga, strong GMS edge, fun and sassy – carnivalicious. Miraculix, another official Alchemy member is next, Bad Dream has a fast psychedelic beat to it, melodic, strongly Goa influenced, well executed, perfect for the night. Psydrop - Earthcore Psychedelic melodic morning power lifter, Psydrop style. The adventure closes with White Rabbit, Earthling & Paul Taylor behind the decks, deep twisted opener leading to a late morning groovy piece from the GMS cook book, just before you are ready to chill but still…
Alchemy Records preview here an excellent set of full on hits that will rock any stage given. I am looking forward to hearing more from Fatali & Eskimo.
Favorites:1, 4(!), 5, 6.
