Review
01)The compilation begins with Electra by Brazilian based Gabriel Serrasqueiro and his Wrecked Machines project.This is a nice opening track wrapped in a deep atmosphere,a mix of progressive trance with full on elements i would say.I am a fan of this kind of music that unfortunately few artists produce in our days so this one has my vote already.By the way nice melodies in the backround 
02)French based Silicon Sound is one of my favorite artists for a long time now and every tune that Johannes produces is an instant hit for me.Cypher is no exception ofcourse,another morning smasher by the maestro himself.Great atmosphere,dreamy melodies and superb effects throughout the whole track make this one a must have tune for everyone.Felicitations mon ami.
03)I dont think that i have to introduce Jean Borelli to anyone in this forum,the Danish master is one of the pioneers of the trance scene along with his Orion project and his tracks are rocking the universe for more than a decade already.Welcome To Reality shows to the people what real psychedelic music is all about,in times where people focus in the wrong directions Orion is still here setting,evolving and moderating the standards of psy trance.Huge respect for the artist and the person.
04)Atropa is the impressive result of a very interesting collaboration between Altom and the legendary Joti Sidhu who is back in business.After three morning oriantated tracks in this compilation this magnificent trio delivers us a faster and more danceable tune.Great production and rythm plus some nice vocal samples will make you move for sure.Thumbs up for this one and good luck to Joti for his upcoming album.
05)X Noize is a new group coming from Israel and Roger That is actually the first tune i ever heard from these guys.My aunt always told me to never judge a book by its cover but i got to admit that by first listen these guys seem to have a great future in front of them,Roger That is a nice full on tune,though nothing really special or innovative to be honest,featuring nice and clear production and some very impressive melodies in the backround.I am preety sure that we will hear a lot from this group in the near future.Keep up the good work guys.
06)The Player is the second track by Joti Sidhu featured in this compilation.Well the production in this one is of high standards but this is not actually my cup of tea musically speaking.I skipped this one rather fast but people that like faster music should give it a better shot.
07)Something New is a collaboration between Israeli based artists Intelabeam and X Noize.This is a very nice full on track indeed that will blast many dancefloors all around the world.I very much enjoyed the pad melodies in the backround on the fifth minute.Full Israeli power here hehe 
08)Sorry but i never liked Vibra's style and music,its too fast and noisy for me.I liked the way the track evolves in the fourth minute but that couldnt save the day i guess.Moving to next one fast.
09)Ultraplex is a collaboration project between Israeli artists Ronen Dahan and Avi Lavi.Logiko is a typical full on track with some nice melodies in it,nothing more nothing less if you ask me.I liked the X Noize stuff in this compilation much more.
10)Last but not least we meet Tikal from France with their Solstice tune.The guys have created quite an impact on the trance scene with their innovative and open minded style and a bright future lies in front of them for sure.Solstice is a nice closing tune with some great female vocal samples in the backround.Keep up the good work guys!
Neurology is a very good compilation covering most trance styles of our times and the production in the majority of the tracks is of very high standards,especially in the first half of the compilation,which amazed me i could say,with Orion and Silicon Sound 'stealing' most of the glory from the rest of the artists.This is a great release for sure with some hot hits in it that will stay in your cd player for quite some time.Congratulations to Edoardo for bringing this whole thing together and good luck in the future for his Neurobiotic label
My favorites are 1,2(!),3(!),4(!),5,7,10.
Overall Rating 8/10

You can listen sample at Neurobiotic Rec. web site...and Joti's new albom as well. Sounds promising...Neurobiotic never disappoints me! Always solid release.
Tell me what you listen, and I'll tell you what you are.

I find the tikal tune the absolute highlight. Anyways I'll try to get my review online before weekend.

Really nice release once again from Neuribiotic – one of my favourite full on labels.
Wrecked Machines “Electra” is the perfect opener, with its groovy, laidback mix of full on and progressive, and a background melody that reminds me of some of the oldschool stuff from Etnica. Super track.
"Cypher" is another mindblowing morning tune from Silicon Sound, and after some disappointing releases Orion is back in style with "Welcome To Reality", followed by "Atropa", a collaboration between Altöm and Joti Sidhu, with the French duos sound as the most dominant. It will probably work wonders for those who loved "Groove Control".
"Roger That" is the first track I hear from the new Israeli act X-NoiZe, and it’s certainly not bad. Full on with a very minimal, hard-hitting bassline, not unlike Sub6. I would describe their sound as a light-version of Sub6/Pixel, sort of similar to Intelabeam and some of the stuff from Black & White.
"The Player" from Joti Sidhu is a groovy psychedelic track, that should raise peoples expectations for his upcoming album, and the Intelabeam and X-NoiZe collaboration "Something New" was also pretty good. Not really new though – just uplifting Israeli stuff, but with the sample from "Blues Brothers" as a nice touch
The tracks from Vibra and Ultraplex weren’t bad, but didn’t reach the same high standard as the first part of the compilation, but the final track from Tikal was a good flashback to their debut-album and of course their set at Full Moon. Dance floor music spiced up with ethnic influences and female vocals – sunshine music at its best
All in all a very good compilation with only a few fillers, and a lot of dance floor monsters.
Verdict:
8/10

very nice compilation here. i agree with detox regarding the WM track, just getting better and better - i'm looking forward to the album. Silicon Sound is making perfect music, production wise... so clean and so deep, i have a private version of this track with his own mastering which is even better then the cd's, i can tell you that on a good set of monitors it is heaven. i was a bit dissapointed from the Altom/Joti track... lacked something for me, Joti's track was alone here was better. Xnoize's track takes too long to take off and become psychedelic, also i think the vocal sample usage is not so great - i like the production though, the track with intellabeam is much better, i love those dubby sounds, very groovy for 147bpm. Vibra's track sounds lower in volume then the rest, shame... Tikal's track is cool - but not their best one, something is off about its volume or mastering im not sure... their album's sound was much fatter.
all in all i like neurobiotic's style of compilations, good solid one here for sure.
