Music reviews
Transient Records is still releasing good quality stuff. Their latest album release was the fantastic Contact album by Cosmosis. One of the best psytrance albums of 2002. Now they are starting 2003 with a new compilation called Psychedelic Dreams. There will probably be more Psychedelic Dreams to come, but this is the first chapter in this series.

First of all, this is not only new tracks. It`s more an overview of releases from Transient the last couple of years. So if you have bought most of the Transient releases lately, you probably have most of these tracks already. First out is the Tribodelic track by Quirk, here in a Mumbo Jumbo version. Mumbo Jumbo is a side project of Cosmosis. Pretty nice track, especially since Mumbo Jumbo has put on some nice sounds as always from Bilbo Bagginz. Track 2 is a taste of the Contact album released by Cosmosis on Transient Records autumn 2002. A really cool track, with crazy voice samples and twisted sounds. Mino released his second album in 2002. Here we get a new track. I think this is pretty boring techno trance. Noisy, dark monotonous track. Track 4 is another taste of the Contact album released by Cosmosis. On this track he has collaborated with Seb Taylor (Shakta). And that is what it sounds like! The break beat trance of Shakta, mixed with the crazy melodies and sounds of Cosmosis. Great track!
As mentioned earlier, this is not only new tracks. Track 5 is from 1998. An interesting collaboration between Sean Williams (Process) and Pete Martin (Slide). This is a dark almost industrial track, with dark melodies and heavy stumpy rhythms. Not among my favourites, but this will sure do good at a dark party location in the middle of the night. Then we get a track by Swedish Logic Bomb. This track is not on any of their albums. Typical wonderful psychedelic Logic Bomb sounds and melodies. Nice one. Track 7 is a Bamboo Forest track from 1999. Not very good track in my opinion. Not much variation, and a little boring sound picture in my ears. I like their latest releases better than this. Track 8 is a taste of Astral Projections latest album Amen. They still make the same full on goa style as they have always done it, but this track is a bit darker than usual. The last track on this compilation is by Mumbo Jumbo (Mitch Davies and Bilbo Bagginz). Pretty good as always from these guys. Not as psychedelic as Cosmosis, but still a great track. Watch out for a Mumbo Jumbo album this year!
This album sums up the music style Transient are releasing these days. If you have bought most Transient releases earlier, this might be a little superfluous, but it is possible to buy this compilation pretty cheap.
