Regular readers will knOw hOw much we lOve new labels.
We invite them in fOr tea, have a few spliffs, and check Out their sOunds.
It's always nice tO hear a different and new slant On the psytrance scene, and it's even nicer when the debut is as ruthlessly shitkicking as this One.
Pitching in as a variatiOn Of the DemOn Tea / ExOgenic sOund, PsychOvader Offers the full-On shapeshifter jazz-tinged trance with added danceflOOr cOmpatibility and grOwly kick.

Bleeps sweeps and creeps frOm WeirdO BeardO is a schitzOid, legs-everywhere stOmpathOn, with bubbly lines and a satisfying kick.

Digital Talk's COme back verges On travel-sickness, with its relentless up-dOwn rOllercOaster cascades, and Grapes Of Wrath's New era is an uncOmmOnly gOOd OutdOOr tune, with perfect timing, bags Of character and a grOOve that just makes yOu want tO mOve.

Insane BehaviOr's Datura inOxia is class, a grizzly little lurker that picks yOu up and thrOws yOu abOut the rOOm.
It's a rare piece Of wOnderful trance that's bread and butter fOr the psychedelic freaks Out there.

TOp tune has tO be Midi disjOncted frOm The CrOw, and it's fucking huge.
Straight in, with bags Of energy, it's gOt the vibe Of a nuclear fallOut (but in a gOOd way) and it's simply the mOst kicking, psychOid bit Of riff-driven trance mayhem in a lOng time.

Watch Out! This is the music Of the future!!
This new label started with a cOmpletely freaked Out and extremely psychedelic CD in the Hux Flux/Alienated/DrOidsect-style!!

It starts with a full On sOng that cOmbines sOft backgrOund-melOdies with sharp haunting sOunds... Very nice!

SecOnd sOng sOunds a little less full On but is alsO filled with crazy sOunds everywhere, arOund 5 minutes theres a climax and after that the track lOses his quality a bit.

Number 3 is a fast killer One!! AlmOst impOssible tO review it in fact... It's a very busy track with nOn-stOp scratchy-sOunds...

Number 4 & 5 are twO tracks with ex-DrOidsect members and yOu can hear it, very full On psychedelic madness!
Specially the 5th sOng is very great with On tOp Of all the nOise sOme catchy acidic melOdies...

Number 6 is less busy and mad and nOt really great imO, but nO prOblem, because number 7 is One hell Of a track!!
One Of the best numbers I heard this year!! Very fast ! And very busy, almOst like alienated, but with a few mOre calmer mOments!
I've tried it last week On a party and peOple went crazy!!

Grapes Of Wrath is mOre melOdic with an interesting rhytm-part...

The CD ends with a mOre d'n'b like track, nOt really my thing!!

But all tOgether a killer-CD which gets an 8/10 frOm me!!

BOm!

Okay, I really lOve this album. the best cOmpil released sO far this year fOr me.
A mixture Of french and scandO madness.

The first track breathes life intO the full On scene. An absOlute killer.

Track twO is really fun and bOuncy. Great use Of samples, and a brilliant bass line.
But I'll be saying that abOut all sOngs. All have great bass lines here.

Track three takes a while tO get intO, but after the middle it gets really funky and gOOd.

Track fOur, Digital Talk, is a gOOd psychedelic stOmp-a-thOn.

Track five stands Out mOst fOr me, kinda sOunds really retrO, but absOlutely well cOmpOsed, by half Of Digital Talk. One Of my fav's.

Twin Freaks starts with weird samples here and there, gets in nice and slOw and builds up tO a krusty laughing epidemic.

Track seven is a scOrcher, really fast crazy psychOtic psy in the, dare I say it, GMS style.

Track eight has a hammering bassline tOwards the end which I really dig.

Track nine is a dOwnbeat, exit tO the best album Of 2002.

AnOther cOOl feature is that it has CD text, sO if yOu have a player with that functiOn it reads Out the sOng names.
This cannOt dissapOint.

Ok review time ! FOr PsychOvader cOmpilatiOn frOm ApOxina recOrding's, cOmpiled by MynOx & Helwinn.

Masterpiece fOr sure !

8 - Grapes Of Wrath - New era = 145bpm
Jaffa SkOubOrg + MOnnO Wurtz frOm Aarhus Denamark cOming with a crazy funky aarhusish tune
with an amazing break in the midle Of the trk and than cermit the frOg cOmes tO talk !!! Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I luv the main sOund in the tune.

9 - ECT + Mass - Angry little men (with sharp sticks) = 140bpm
GrOOve all da way, less my cup Of tea, less dancebale than the rest Of the CD, but hey what can ya dO must clOse the CD sOmetimes with different directiOns prObably Or sOmethin.....

BOttem line : great psychOpatic cOmpilatiOn with lOts Of funk!
NOt fOr a nOrmal mind that wants tO "chill Out" ahahaahahahaaaaaa, favOurite tracks = 2,3,4,5,7,8

A phat warm kick and bassline welcOme yOu back intO the realm Of (predOminantly) crazy scandO-trance.
LOts Of well prOduced sOunds skitter arOund yOur head and it builds very nicely until the middle when it takes Off On a chunky little psychedelic jOurney which shOuld definitely get yOu gOing.

Next up is WeirdO BeardO with the trademark scandO phat beats and accOmpanying well-prOduced nOises.
This warms u up nicely then all Of a sudden it changes tack and is Off.
A rOlling bassline suddenly appears and arses are wiggling and feet are mOving.
ImO One fOr the mOrning tO get them slOwly waking peOple back On the flOOr.

After the light cOmes the dark.
Luc Achintre and J. FOugea in different guises and cOmbinatiOns wOrk tO bring yOu three darker nighttime numbers.
They are phat and shOuld definitely please the meth-pOwered nighttime crew!!
Twisted in places with well niice sOunds On the tOp end the Digital Talk chOOn will definitely get yOur tOes tapping and feet mOving (hOpefully nOt at the same time thOugh, cOuld be a bit cOnfusing).
And if yOu're nOt dancing tO The CrOw then yOu are prObably dead Or On crutches.
Head dOwn and classic acid stabs and wOnderful rOlling basslines, it will definitely please the kiddies.

TempOrarily lightening the atmOsphere is Ulf "WeirdO BeardO" GustavssOn and JOuni Ollila, the Twin Freaks, whO Offer anOther niiiice mOrning chOOn with cartOOn samples and well prOduced trippy sOundz.
Then we are plunged back dOwn intO the night by BO TerklesOn whO prOvides One Of my favOurite chOOns On the album.
I missed this On first listen but I have tO say it blew me away.
The wibbly wObbly nOises and the "dark nebula" - esque bass line cOmbined will have heads dOwn and arses wiggling. brilliant!

Penultimate chOOn is frOm the Grapes Of Wrath whO Offer a percussive, driving, funky number (all in One chOOn??) and the album is nicely rOunded Off by a mOre relaxed ECT & Mass whOse brOken beat, squirlyness is sure tO twist One Or twO heads.

All in all, I really like this album and I knOw there are a few peOple Over here that rate it.
There's sOme new names whO are prOducing quality chOOns and if ApOxina are gOing tO cOntinue tO release this kind Of stuff then they cOuld be a fOrce tO reckOned with.
