Track by Track

M-Theory - Whisper
Inducting this stellar comp by Free-Spirit is one of the UK label's finest artists, M-Theory... This one is a gritty, gnashing rocker with grinding bass from below and modulated filter sweeps layered from above. The percussion is meticulously arranged and saturated with effects while the synths add tension and take it away, adding dissonance and texture to this minimal morning track, one that is sure to set your head afloat.

Tron - Help Is On The Way
Mexican trance artist Tron has been getting quite a lot of world recognition for his uniquely abstract style, and well deserved... His new tune is a showcase display of arrangement and mastering expertise. Heavy on springy, bouncy synth blurps and jazzy pads, Tron bounces you along on gliding bass waves and enthuses your neurons with random voice sampling... prepare yourself for a metamorphosis of music... Tron's music never leaves you in the same place you started.

Kalimamboh - E-Motion
Coming at you full-on and high in energy, Kalimamboh delivers an up-tempo dancefloor packer rife with springy synth oscillations. The build-ups are marvellous and the bass adjusts itself furiously in keeping with the tension. Not a moment is wasted as the soundscape is overrun with acid leads and a nice changeup featuring resonant melodies fit for trance-addled minds everywhere. This one is an instant hit.

Dizzy Mind - In a Dreamlike State
Taking a decidedly different approach from this track's predecessor, Dizzy Mind composes us a groovy four-on-the-floor foot grinder. Richly filtered and delayed leads dot the soundscape atop a punchy, pulsating bassline. A definite buildup track from beginning to end, "In a Dreamlike State" piles on the acid rhythms and layers, keeping the mood on the up-and-up... overall a supremely well arranged piece with the right sounds in all the right places.

Aphid Moon - Doofer
Psy-trance veteran Aphid Moon should need no introduction, and "Doofer" lives up to his well-established reputation. Greeted by a thick, meaty bassline and vox pads from the psychedelic side of the Ganges, "Doofer" is a slightly sinister, haunting piece born to be heard underneath a starry sky. This one amps up the energy from the get go and doesn't let up.... these waves are high-octane nectar for your trance dancing spirit.

Journey - Experantia
Journey, the trance project of Free-Spirit's founder, Jay OM, is a fusion of styles... glitch, breaksy percussion collides with highly filtered insectile sweeps and evolving rhythms with more layers than a wedding cake. Expect a wide variety of moods as things start off happy before taking off into the synthosphere, growing darker, with a multitude of bass riffs which lay the groundwork for one of the most twisted pieces on this whole compilation.

Star~Trip - Crouch End
Star~Trip, a collaboration of Jay OM (Journey) and Evil Twins continues the trend towards musical malevolence with a night time rocker which will get your feet moving and the hair standing up on your neck! Shadowy synths sounds squirt serotonin on the synapses, but just when you thought things were getting scary, a subtle rearrangement of chords turns this piece imperceptibly into a light-within-the-darkness scene... a great transitory track which takes you to places unexpected.

M-Klome - Mr. Bellboy
M-Klome, although one of the newer artists to break into the world circuit, is already indelibly leaving his musical mark with tracks on several different comp all having received high acclaim. "Mr. Bellboy" takes a slight deviation from his usual morning sound for a style more full-on yet no less jazzy. The percussion is heavily ethnic and organic and exceedingly enjoyable throughout, fitting the synths dissonance perfectly.

Sinewave - Vibrations
Sinewave, A&R of Alchemy Records, has already made a name for himself, and ends this second stellar comp by Free Spirit with a bang. "Vibrations" is a full-on morning rocker with distorted metal guitar for the head bangers and twangy bell effects for the electro heads. The build-up is suspenseful and right on the money, exploding into a high-energy beat heavy on the modulated acid wave layers. This piece ends this comp leaving you begging for an encore.
