Loved cut 2 Bodh Gaya-Psychedelic dreams. A fun, mystical, bouncy Goa Trance cut. Not enough depth on this comp to justify buying it. Better to buy the 12" vinyl of Psychedelic dreams which is the B side on the Dinner for the praying mantis 12 inch.

Goa-Trance 4ever :)

OK, I just have to do this: Trans Lucid's Hell Fire actually samples the ancient hit by The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, called - you nailed it - Fire, released in the late sixties or something. Now, as bald and brave of a move that may seem, the final result is not only laughable, but this track could do little else but open for my niece's elementary school talent show act. Not the one at the end of the year, mind you, but the one which marks the end of the first semester. One of the absolute low points of old school goa trance. It actually IS so bad, you just cannot afford not to listen to it.However, the world may end, but this compilation refuses to end. I tend to keep my attitude positive, who knows it may even keep me alive a little longer, but then music presented here most certainly won't grace my vital signs with a kick up the arse.Wow, speak of commonplaceness, the people involved in making this compilation must have been infatuated with that word. By the time B.E.T.H.'s Blightly comes up, I actually realize that I have been actively listening to music for the past thirty five minutes. Cross that, I try to convince myself that those were sound waves I was exposed to, yet I don't recollect any. I seriously don't know what to tell you about the first four tracks here. Would it be of any comfort if I said that they were demo recordings of instrumentals for Paris Hilton's sophomore album. No? Oh well, you can't please anyone, can you...Now, B.E.T.H., an alias of the far more known Cydonia project, don't deliver a classic, yet the reason why this track shook me up is the absolutely furious electric guitar lead. Whether it's good or bad, I'll let Kiss fans decide, but all I can tell you is that it's a riff vigorous enough to make S.U.N. Project dash for their pennies. But the remainder of the track is cool. Fast, hard and industrial tinged goa trance with spooky atmosphere, just as one would come to expect from Cydonia. Would have been much better without the guitar though, or a more moderate version of it.Up next is the track whose name we're not allowed to type, but then comes rescue #2. An old school trancey voyage by Boris Blenn. Yes! An eight minute journey, loaded with repetitive, mind tickling leads guiding you into a steady placid hypnosis. Those gorgeous 303s only add to the overall dreamy feel. If you've dug his Paradise Connection album, then you will like this track as well.As for the remaining tracks, Drop & Dash should drop their studio equipment and dash as fast as they can since the wicked flee when none pursueth, while Rincewind should do us all a favor and hop on that wind he's rinsing and take off to some far away land as well. Bodh Gaya... I cannot even be bothered, his name is just too complex for me to come up with some malapropisms or whatever the hell I had in mind originally.Here's the bottom line: without causing too much confusion, this compilation is barely saved by two tracks which stand out not due to their undeniable quality, but because of the lack of the same characteristic most of their surrounding is graced with. Sure, Creation is a floating old school gem, but we all know many many more, and I'm sure a few will pop into my mind, but please do understand that I can't think clear right now since Trans Lucid won't quit penetrating my ear lobes. And yes, Blighty is pretty cool for fans of the deviant sound, yet all the producers involved in the project have done better. So, to conclude, if you can't find those two tracks anywhere, and see this CD for 5 euro, buy it. Anything more, and it's obvious math isn't your forte. I will have to send you back to the drawing board man. Enough zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
