v.a. - Advanced Options 2 (YoYo records) [english/russian cd-review]
Dez 11 2006, 11h12 por Unspeakable
english
Not far ago sort of distinct compilation was released. One of the most popular israeli label YoYo records released v.a. Advanced Options 2. It is compiled by famous israeli artist Future Prophecy and includes top psy-projects mainly israeli also. Im definetely glad that Haggai Elazare is member of our group on Last.fm: Psychedelic Openair. His expirience with light psychedelic trance is very large: he already have 5 released cds and now compiled here a good band of high-rated full on producers.

Psycraft vs Beat Hackers - Night Drive (Future Prophecy remix)
Sesto Sento vs Apocalypse - Trance in Motion
Time Lock - Inner Bright
Astral Projection - The Prophecy
Basic - Days of Power
The Freak Show - Fantasy
Echotek - Your Inside Voice
Bwicked - R U Ready
Atomic Pulse vs Cyrus the Virus - Unreal
Future Prophecy - Feel The Vibration
First of all i need to say that this compi is dedicated to soft sound with lot of vocals and has light commercial groove for a massive morning dancing. Not so long ago first chapter of this collection was out at BNE/YoYo and it was compiled by Felix Time Lock Nagorsky that time. In my eyes that was very top work of real professional level and it seems like with second chapter we have pretty same situation. In spite of Future Prophecy last album tendency to more commercial sound this ten tracks includes some real psy-oriented pearls and about them just below:
Psycraft vs Beat Hackers - Night Drive (Future Prophecy remix)
Opens with vocal sample and fast morphs in a guitar stomper. Here two strong producers with a help of compilatior provided us with full power full on little bit GMS-side. Pair of mighty accelerations in the middle will probably rock the floor and femine vocals with distortion i guess will help here. It is rather sad that too often we have here not wanted pauses and temp-loses also. It looks like parts are not integreated most perfect way. But still good track however.
Astral Projection - The Prophecy
Project gave their full new (except the sample) track on this album. With every single new work of them i feel that they realy now how to combine Astral Projection trademark sound with last tricks of neo-full-on. It is definetely great work with hi-tech new sounding and rare feeling of old goa and fluffy trance.
The Freak Show - Fantasy
Top work here! Very talented track with a lot of fantasy and with very happy feeling inside. Pumping and jumping neo-full-on engine combined here with nice and groovy melody theme and it works great together. Best track of the cd in my eyes.
Bwicked - R U Ready
With this bit usual trackname Bwicked present not ordinary for them track. Known mostly by their works in dub-oriented and light downtempo sectors Bwicked support this compilation with nice psy-track. It is goovy and psychedelic enough light full on track. And it is very nice.
Other tracks of disc are not bad at all. Time Lock and Echotek presents two vocal tracks: Echotek bit more progressive vibe and Time Lock on commercial side. Atomic Pulse and Syrus The Virus add little bit tribal drums and trancy feeling. Basic with a nice try also. Not realy impressed of Sesto Sento and Apocalypse track but Future Prophecy in the end is good enough. So some stormy moments and very good positive vibe summs up and now I can say that not only first volume of this serie is very nice and well-made... Dont miss this one. Be nice, stay tuned!

Не так давно вышла на студии YoYo в Израиле компиляция Advanced Options 2. YoYo records - это одна из самых популярных псай-студий Израиля. Первую часть компиляции мы видели не так давно под руководством Феликса Time Lock Нагорского. Здесь же сборник собирал Хагай Элазаре, aka Future Prophecy - опытный псай-транс артист, с легким звучанием и выпустивший уже массу альбомов. Кроме всего прочего он является пользователем группы на Last.fm: Psychedelic Openair, что дополнительно очень приятно. Первая часть компиляции была на мой вкус весьма привлекательной и похоже со второй мы имеем ту же ситуацию. Несмотря на тенденцию последнего альбома компилятора к более коммерческому звучанию, эти десять треков имеют свои псай-моменты, о которых чуть ниже.

Psycraft vs Beat Hackers - Night Drive (Future Prophecy remix)
Sesto Sento vs Apocalypse - Trance in Motion
Time Lock - Inner Bright
Astral Projection - The Prophecy
Basic - Days of Power
The Freak Show - Fantasy
Echotek - Your Inside Voice
Bwicked - R U Ready
Atomic Pulse vs Cyrus the Virus - Unreal
Future Prophecy - Feel The Vibration
Psycraft vs Beat Hackers - Night Drive (Future Prophecy remix)
Начинается с вокльного сэмпла и быстро переходит в гитарный отжиг. В этом треке два мощных продюсера с помощью компилятора альбома снабжают нас плотным трансом немного в духе GMS. Пара длинных разгонов в середине пожалуй взорвут не один танцпол, а женский прерывистый и с дисторшном вокал поможет. Немного грустно, что паузы и потери темпа есть в этом треке тоже. Как будто отдельные части трека "подогнаны" друг к другу не очень удачно и слитно. Но при этом хороший трек.
Astral Projection - The Prophecy
Проект отдал на сборник свой абсолютно новый (исключая голосовой сэмпл) трек. С каждым новым треком я чувствую, что эти ребята действительно много знают о том, как смешать фирменный звук Astral Projection с нео-фулл-ном так, чтобы слышно было высокотехнологичный сегодняшний энджайн, а настроение оставалось такое как от старого гоа-пушистого транса.
The Freak Show - Fantasy
Прекрасная работа! Очень талантливый трек сделанный с фантазией и с очень веселым настроением. Скачаще-прыгающий нео-фулл-оный движок дополнен здесь приятной и завершенной мелодией и вместе они слушаются чудесно. Лучший трек диска по моим ощущениями.
Bwicked - R U Ready
С таким обыденным названием Bwicked представляют необычный для них трек. Более известные по своим даб, даунтемпо творениям, здесь проект выдают вполне милый псай-трек. Он довольно качающий, достаточно психоделичен, не особенно быстрый, но как есть милый.
Остальные треки на диске тоже не слабые. Time Lock и Echoteck выступили с вокальными треками, причем Echotek имеет здесь более прогрессивный вайб, а Time Lock скорее мейнстримовый. Atomic Pulse и Cyrus The Virus добавляют немного трайбл барабанов в компиляцию, Basic тоже неплохо попытался. Не особенно впечатлен я остался треком Sesto Sento и Apocalypse, а вот Future Prophecy зажег в конце зачетно. Несколько по-настоящему бодрых и привлекательных моментов неплохо сочетаются с общим позитивным и легким настроем альбома, так что можно смело сказать, что и вторая часть серии удалась на славу. Не пропустите этот диск. Будьте хорошими, оставайтесь с нами! -
