New compilation is out on Organic Records...
|
Organic Records strikes back with a new compilation. We get a nice colourful cover art and a track list with several well known psytrance artists from the UK. These tracks is already tested on dance floors worldwide by Chris Organic and Andrew Humphries.
New Generation (Organic Records) 2004 (ORGCD007)
1. Dick Trevor Vs. Aphid Moon – Blinking Lights
2. Aphid Moon Vs. Organik – Happyland
3. Organik Vs. Jerry Parsons – Hot Cakes
4. Error Corrective – Switch
5. Voice Of Cod – Its Just A Ride
6. Organik – Electric Eel
7. Alchera – Pole Star
8. Mr. Biscuit – Oil Crisis
9. Unconscious Collective Vs. Organik – Neptune Driver
First out is a collaboration between Dick Trevor (most known as one half of The Green Nuns Of The Revolution and his latest Jumanji project) and Aphid Moon (Jules Hamer), who is to be found everywhere these days. I often find tracks with Aphid Moon involved very monotonous and little varied. This is a pretty drifting track, but very monotonous. In the middle of the track, things start to happen, and we get some melody and a break. Track 2 is also a track by Aphid Moon, but here he has collaborated with Chris Organic. This sounds like a typical Aphid Moon track. Hard, pushing beats without much variation of sounds. After a while we get some melody and variation in this one too, but it could easily have been a bit more of it. This track sort of builds up and become pretty full on. Track 3 is a collaboration between Chris Organic and a guy named Jerry Parsons. This is a drifting track with quite a lot of cool sounds a melodies. There are also some floating sounds in there that makes it really trippy. My favourite track so far on this compilation. Track 4 is by Error Corrective (Nick Howdle-Smith and Dan Warburton). Here we get a totally hard pushing bass line that will for sure make people stump hard on the dance floor. We also get several twisted psychedelic sounds jumping and swirling in there. Good one.
Track 5 is a new track by Voice Of Cod (Andrew Humphries and Colin Bennum), who is going to release an album on Organic Records. This is a cool track with a hard pushing bass line, with some nice drums and voice samples above. Very drifting and with several trippy sounds. After a while, this track becomes really melodic too. Track 6 is by Chris Organic alone. This one is really hard pumping. Pure night time trance, with rough and evil sounds. Track 7 is by a new upcoming artist called Alchera (Sean Davidson). The bass line we get here is really hard and reminds me of some releases on Elektrik Orgasm Records. He continues the night time style, with mostly dark psychedelic sounds swirling and jumping above the rolling bass line. Track 8 is by Mr. Biscuit, which is a project by Andrew Humphries. I really like the drift on this track. Floating vibe, with some really nice playful psychedelic sounds above the banging beats. The last track we get on this compilation is definitely the best track on this compilation in my opinion. It is a collaboration between Unconscious Collective (Colin Bennum) and Chris Organic. This is a really playful journey, full of funny psychedelic sounds, drifting vibes and cool samples. Fantastic finish on this compilation.
In my opinion, this is the best compilation so far on Organic records. I didn’t like the two first tracks very much, but the rest is pretty strong all the way through.

Hi all, Colin from Voice of Cod here...
Wicked review, thanks a million for your kind words. We're really pleased with the way the tracks turned out, and it's a great feeling to be involved with such a fantastic project... Chris and Andrew have put so much work into this album and it deserves to be a big success.
