TIP.World sums up their vinyl 12” releases on a compilation, which is fine for us cd collectors or the ones who don`t want to carry a lot of heavy vinyl…

2. Beat Bizarre – Pop Question

7. Alien Project Vs Astral Projection – People Can Fly
8. Bio-Tonic – Play It

First out is the Electro Panic track made by Infected Mushroom and Yahel. Here we get a remix by Eat static! The original was also released on the Inca:Nation compilation. A really bad track in my opinion if you compare it to earlier Infected Mushroom releases, but Yahel has probably something to do with that… The Eat Static remix is better, but they should have remixed it a little more. Track two is served by Beat Bizarre, who gives us minimal, rolling heavy rhythms as usual, with not much more into it. I like a lot of minimal progressive trance, but this is just boring. Let us hope this will not be the TIP trend in the future! Jean Borelli (Orion) from Demark is a really talented guy. He has collaborated a lot with Alien Project lately, and this is the same style, but better. He ads more psychedelic sounds and melodies. Not only the endless rolling rhythms. This brings happy memories from his fantastic live performance at Samothraki Dance Festival in august. Then we get the old Implant classic by Eat Static! I love Eat Static, but did we need another version of this track? Here we get their own remix of this track. There is also released a GMS remix of the track (on Inca:Nations), but I prefer the original.

Ari Linker (Alien Project) and Astrix has become some sort of stars this year. Probably because of massive releasing of tracks and a lot of easy digestible music. Their music was fun in the beginning, but after three Alien Project albums released in one year, with exactly the same style all the way, I`m getting tired of it… The track we get here is just like all the others. Luckyly, the next track is by Orion. Again more sounds and nice stuff than Alien Project and Astrix has ever managed to ad into their tracks. Then we get the Alien Project remix of the famous Astral Projection track, People Can fly. Why make something like this?? The original was so much better than this! This is is sort of ruining the track! I skip to the last track, which is by the French group Bio-Tonic, who released their debut album Elektrik Colors on Solstice Music last year. A typical Bio-Tonic track, with hard kicking rhythms all the way. We also get some tribal influenced voices and lots of psychedelic sounds. One of the better tracks on this compilation.

This is for sure something to get if you want those vinyl tracks, but a lot of it can be a little too much maybe?
