First out is a track by Sesto Sento. They are getting pretty well known in the trance scene these days, with tracks on a lot of different compilations. This is also the most known act on this compilation. The track we get here is pretty groovy and melodic. Track 2 is by a guy called Ultravoice. Rolling heavy rhythms with a lot of psychedelic sounds swirling in and out of the track. Track 3 by Electro Sphere goes the same style. Heavy rhythms drifting through the track from start to finish. You get some voice samples and a nice melody after a few minutes. At the end we get some tribal rhythms mixed in too. Track 4 by Synthroid starts with a voice that sounds a bit like Shpongle. Then the rolling rhythms starts pushing. After a few minutes the psychedelic melodies comes in. The most melodic track so far on this compilation. Pretty good track.

Track 5 by Star X has some really groovy rhythms and atmospheric sounds. This is one of my favourite tracks on this compilation. The sounds in this one are really cool, and they mix the hard sound picture with floating pleasant sounds. Great track! Track 6 by PTX has those same rolling heavy rhythms, but more screaming synthetic sounds. Reminds me a bit of the GMS style. Full on to the bone. Track 7 is a collaboration between Ultravoice and a guy called Kyo-Voice. This one has a killer groovy bass line and some cool uplifting sounds. Nice one. Track 8 is really hard pushing, with some really floating sounds now and then. The last track on this compilation goes a bit lighter and more minimal.

This album is pretty good if you are after some full on sound from Israel. Be sure to check out their site at:
