Kameleon & Labyrinth (aka Bioluminescence) decide to bring us a collection of minimal psytrance here. We start off with two Prime Time tracks. The first, King Klong, is pretty dark and minimal, yet retaining a distinct funky edge. The second is aimed more towards the funk side and considering its title it’s probably a tribute to one of the biggest minimal psytrance groups there ever was back in the day. Cold Project (T3) goes to darker territory and this is how I love my minimal, dark, brooding, not too fast in the bpm range. Great stuff with satisfying length too. Bioluminescence are up next with a similar sounding track, although this has more activity with voice sampling. Another great track. Excizen's Roytze starts off really dark too. Dark funk is what I’d call it. Cold Project shows us another dark track. This reminds me of some of the minimal side projects the guys of S.U.N. Project had back in the day. Ouija is what it was called, I remember. Anyway, this is like one of those songs, only darker. Lunaspice comes up with an even funkier track. This could go under progressive, but it’s a little too minimal for that. Primordial Ooze (T8) goes on with a somewhat weirder track, with lots of stereo gimmicks flying about. Nice for the change in scenery. Excess by RPO gets the minimal darker treatment by Excizen in his second contribution here and it comes out great. Prime Time gets to finish the whole thing off with a tight, dark and electro kind of song. This album is minimal done right :) |
