v/a A Violent Reaction (Acidance)
Tracklist:
1.Parasense vs Samadhi - Liberation
2.Dissociactive - Agitation
3.Triskell - Cancellation
4.Abomination - Contradiction
5.Talk Sick - Opposition
6.Neuromotor - Premonition
7.Damage - Termination
8.Nrs vs Bolt - Annihilation
9.Phatmatix - Mutilation
10.Xenomorph - Violation
This compilation benefits of a whole concept with a little booklet from which extreme contents (photos+texts) represents the name of each track from the compilation as you can guess it is very politically oriented; and just for this first step of creation for the compilation Acidance deserves some support.
1>Alex Parasense already cooked by the past some psy mixtures based on samba rythmic (the 2 tracks on v/a Subculture). Liberation is a new try but the samba rythmic part is more discret & fit better with the rest : some powerful electrified leads & a global high-energy. The result make progress without being extraordinary.
2>Dissociactive still delivers heavy psy & trippy music with more or less brainwave; compared to their debut album Blockout released recently, i situated this new tune in their average-low level quality. If you dig this song, seriously think checking their album which is better.
3> I never felt lots of enthusiasm for previous Triskell productions but times change and Cancellation is actually the most accomplished tune from this artist upto now. He succeeds in getting over a stage with production:more melodic/harmonic coherences. Thanks to him we get also coloured leads & different fx compared to previous tracks, especially the nice & weird nasal lead from 6'40. Let's hope he could keep going this good way.
4>Abomination directly starts with a gloomy atmosphere, the Timecode trademarks are obvious here (btw he's a Timecode artist if i'm not wrong  ). The starting vaporous & shrill organ lead nicely makes your blood run cold & haunts without delay your head all along with its come-back; the filtered synth appearing around 2'50 for the transition positivly contributes too to the mysterious ambience.
5>Toxic (oups Talk Sick, but i prefer the former name) presents a rocking tune through Opposition with explosive tones all along backfiring after 1'30, at 2'53 there's a too short passage with a fucking good groovy bassline then later some electric riffs which get closer to elephant's trumpeting (after 6'00).
6>We penetrate into a more basic full on area here, i skip.
7>Damage tried here to renew the success of Predator using nearly the same receipe. It doesn't make a doubt, the guy has found a personnal style (element that few artists can claim & be proud of) nevertheless Termination isn't as brilliant as its original matrix. Because it lacks the fucking silly energy coming out & furthermore it sounds warmed up despite some attempt of differenciation such as the sweet part (from 5'50) & a longer development. All in all Termination isn't bad, i guess it'll appear, for some people, just like a Predator's clone.
8>Annihilation is too flat for me but It wakes up nicely on the end from 5'15. The main worry resides in the too much all along compressed harmony. I consider the tune as ideal stuff for djs in their mix but taken individually it's not good enough for home listening according to me.
9>Second french artist of the compilation, after Triskell here comes Phatmatix. The beginning is very strange with dark & cold religious men chant. From 2'34 a warning siren is rising in the background. The tune turns apocalyptic at 4'45 with this zombish lead. Around 6'30 a kinda funny rebellion is happenning like if zombies would like recovering their souls running after them & trying to catch something invicible, intangible which always seems to get away from them .
10>A woman with some big worries, someone with big knifes & an old phone ringing, that's the samples opening Violation. The tune as the reflection of the title is brutal, violent, unexpected (like the sudden slow motion break at 2'50) & dark raw. At 5'19 starts a timer sound in the background pre-announcing an explosion. On the end, a man seems becoming mad just before the final shut down ... 
climaxs:3,4,5,9
outsider:10
Close to Dirty South for the music style in a lower quality but the booklet concept saves A Violent Reaction. Otherwise it's nise to notice some quality from french darkpsy artists. Indeed that's a pity the music isn't as good as the concept tracknames/design even if the tunes match with them.
7,5/10 |

cant say the same thing.
i think that the graphics and the whole concept are exceptional, something new and diffenent, it follows in a way the neuromotor cd concerning the artwork.
As for the music itself the two tracks that are not acidance style and dont fit so much in this story are
NRS vs Bolt and Damage
Liberation 8/10
Agitation 6/10
Cancellation 9/10
Contradiction 7/10
Opposition 8/10
Premonition 8/10
Termination 7/10
Annihilation 6.5/10
Mutilation 9/10
Violation 10/10
overall 7.85/10 |

i think the concept itself is very good.maybe we need more alboms or compilations not just simply releasing music..without any context.simply releasing.
well this one was made with a purpose and i congratulate all artists that went throught with it.
the music it is not my cup of tea, but i respect the artists own tastes, and applaude such an initiative.

Personally i thought it is a good album, very nice design in terms of the cover and the booklet, lots of effort has gone into it.
The only problem i had is that the overall levels on the cd is slightly lower than most cd's, i got this cd and the naked tourist together, in comparison the acidance is much lower than the latter.
Damage and xenomorph are the terrible songs in the comp, all the others kick ass.
A very nice cd to add to the collection.

Yep. In this day and age we cannot stand for this. Especially not after being treated so well with mastering by the likes of Son Kite, Eargear, Morten Vinten, Keller.04 etc. Bad show for Acidance IMO.

I guess they spent all the money on the cover and skipped the mastering.
