Growling Mad Scientists have their own label called Spun Records. The first release from this label was the GMS album GMS vs Systembusters (2000), then the second release was the compilation Genetic Process released last year. Now the second part of Genetic Process is out, called Genetic Process Part Dose.

10. A.I. - What`s My Style
First out is a track you can also find on the Time & Space 2 compilation released on the Mexican label Maia Records. A track made by Soundaholix, which is Celli Firmi (Earthling) and Paul Taylor. Really full on GMS style madness all the way, or with other words a psychedelic circus! Track 2 is also a Soundaholix track. Another full on party track that has to be played loud. Pretty melodic too, which make it much better than much else of this full on kind. Wizzy Noise give us track 3. I think most of their tracks are a bit boring, but here they give us a better track than usual. More melodic and varied. Track 4 is the Talamasca track Speaking Robots in a GMS remix. I don`t know if you can say the original is better, but this is not bad at all! The typical melodic Talamasca style mixed with the typical full on GMS madness. Track 5 is a collaboration between GMS (Riktam & Bansi) and Shanti. Have you noticed that GMS rarely work alone? This is a very typical GMS track, full on all the way with noisy sounds up and down. Not very melodic, just nagging madness. After a few minutes we get some birds singing and a little bit of melody, but apart from that, nothing new here.
Track 6 is a Shanti track. Very drifting and intense rhythms, with little melodies and sounds. Track 7 is another GMS track together with a guy called Cyrus. This sounds like something between a Zorba track and a GMS track. Full on, but with some melodies that can sound a bit cheesy for some. Track 8 is a new one from Ofer Dikovsky (Oforia) from Israel. Really heavy bass rhythms, and some floating parts. Oforia is not at all what he used to be. After his album Delirious (Dragonfly 1998), he has made so much worse music! The track he gives us here is pretty boring. I was looking forward to hear the track made by the interesting collaboration The Antidote & Cydonia (Serge Souque and Dino Psaras). I must say it is a bit of a disappointment. It`s just boring and sounds like a bad hard house track! The last track on this compilation is a track by Shanti and two other guys. A good one, with a nice tempo and funky sounds.
The second part of the Genetic Process series is not bad if you love the GMS style. But those of you who are really tired by this style should stay away from this one.
