Various Artists – quadruped v-1 (CD)



This is four way split CD, hence the title. This came out on Planet Dog way back in 1994. 1994 and 1995 were good years for trance and psychedelic trance / GOA (before everything turned digital i.e. too good to be true, definitely less anal-logue). Now let`s begin with Optic Eye (Jake Stephenson & Brian Trower) doing three pieces of techno / ambient techno and trance. The first one `Aluf null` (7.29 minutes) is amazingly mellow for trance, nice chill-out undertones. The second featured artist Active Loop Zone (Donovan Lines & Rick Lomas) deliver two evolving trance songs. Then we have Zuvuya (Mike West, Paul Chousmer and Phil Pickering) delivers three trance / techno / GOA influenced pieces. We end it all with the Children Of The bong (Daniel Goganian & Rob Henry). They deliver two amazing songs of downtempo electronic / techno, break beats included with a lo-fi dash of psychedelia. Amazing. A nice ending for an incredible album (it still sounds good today).
