The first track is a new name by Vatos Locos! Vatos Locos is a collaboration between Nick Barber (Doof), Celli Firmi (Earthling) and Xavier Flux. They released an album (Wecome 2 Da Barrio) on Sony 2002, but it was only released in Mexico! The track we get here is not on the album. Pushing Earthling rhythms together with pleasant Doof melodies. Good one! Track 2 is by Jean Borelli (Orion) from Denmark. He is really productive, and makes music together with Ari Linker (Alien Project) and alone as Orion. Maybe it`s about time he releases his third album? The track we get here goes in the Alien Project tempo, but with a bit more psychedelic sounds. Celli Firmi (Earthling) give us track 3. He released his debut Eartling album (Patterns) on Acidance Records 2002. This track is not on the album. Heavy GMS sounding rhythms, pushing all the way through. Full on and pretty melodic now and then. Track 4 is a new track by GMS. It starts off with some weird voice samples. Then the typical GMS rhythms and sounds starts pushing, and yes, it sounds just like all the other GMS tracks.
Bamboo Forest serves track 5. Full on with a lot of variation all the way. A pretty good track. They were supposed to release an album on Flying Rhino in 2002, but since Flying Rhino went bankrupt, it never came out. Christof Drouillet (Absolum, also known as Transwave) will be releasing his second Absolum album in 2003. Here we get a new dark pushing track. He has used a sample you can find in a Saiko-Pod track too. Very full on typical 3D Vision style. Shanti and his friend Tavis give us track 7. GMS style with less take off. Track 8 is another Bamboo Forest track. I really like this one! Very trancey. Bamboo Forest have their own trancey style. The last track is by an artist from Brasil, Gil Mahadeva (Mukunga Umbura). This is a very pumping track. It reminds me of the new Etnica style, but with a little bit more variation.
This compilation was a surprise! The best tracks are the Bamboo Forest tracks and the Vatos Locos track.
