Oh boy oh A new album from Wizzy Noise has landed. I thought this was going to be fairly good but nothing could have prepared me for this album. It is an absolute gem and I've been playing it for weeks now non stop. It gets even better with each listen almost as if you understand and notice that tiny bit more detail than the last time. Its also a great album for all seasons and is so danceable I'm sure it will be played in clubs, on boats,, jungles, woods, deserts and wherever else there is a party happening! Anyway I'll try and give you the vibe. The album is not as filthy as I thought it would be. The production is phenomenal and I have to agree with Alexis from Candy Flip that the louder you play it the more clear the sound gets. No room spared on the CD as its got a whole 10 tracks and you will definitely get your moneys worth. This album should appeal to everybody in my opinion and if not, as the saying goes, "You should get a check up from the neck up" as this is the class A I've been waiting for. Track1 is called 'Radical Payne' and we start with the sound of a chopper flying over a jungle which has many rumbles lurking within. Tribal drums and a bouncy rhythm carried by waves of tension builders. This is a snappy creature which steps up another gear when melody comes in. The bass keeps up and follows amazingly at the same time. Its constantly building and building. Awachawooh Awackawooh sounds are all wrapped up in emotional paper. Then there is the more aggressive side with dirty synth sounds. The final leg of this is powerful. What a fresh up-beat happy vibe for some fun in the sun. I'd play it out. Track2 is 'Screwheads remix' and you'll be trying to ride the bass like a surfer on a psychedelic tidal wave. Hard progressive block building. Each new sound slots in a treat and they all fit like a dream once they are all together. Acidic squelchy melody leads to a big alien one. There is so much here on the one track which makes it superb and perhaps its a little similar to a good Eat Static track. Bags of energy and life always firmly pushing forward. Killer. Track3 called 'Elecktro Theater' is a bit more mucky with its start. It attacks with an earthly digital drive. There is great experimental tweaking and for me it calmly teases whilst evolving. Its ticking and tocking and definitely rocking! Dirtly noises glug through a gliding bass line. I'm still wiggling my arse from hearing this track... 4 is called 'Paradise Lost' and it won't give you time to catch your breath as we begin at a good height where the sky is filled with spinning sounds and a floating drummer on a mission. Bubbling, deep, powerful hard hitting trance with its own edge. I found I could follow the shapes that are formed and then transform. A complete mind bender. Wizzy Noise just know how to hit you where it hurts and they do it here with a fantastic dark melody. An electrifying progressive and also spiritual journey through so many different shades of light.Track5 is 'Mental Discipline' with wizzy sounds (and noises), a bass line that weighs a ton and grins. It opens up its huge arms and grabs you inside its industrial tunnel. Percussive with shortish stints of psy waves it chugs away powerfully on acidic fuel. Some of the lines are menacing that appear to curl themselves around the havinit huge sound. The sickly evil talking which is all distorted just gets my energy levels up to go completely mad. Aggressive mosching got me through it. The last few acid runs make it such a chunky mother. This is so beautifully put together. Track6 is called 'Demented Drum p.1' which should get your gullies tingling. Plenty of banging and tribal vibe, groovy bass and some disturbing faint screams. Little twinkling sounds above are really lush. Its another one with a huge sound and it delivers one message: Forget about your neighbouirs and turn it right up! Man there are so many feelings going on and they are all jammed inside this psychedelic meat sandwich. After the spacey breakdown prepare to blow the top of your head away with some seering trance. You may find it hard to move on after hearing this. I think this is my favorite but its very difficult to pick a complete winner. Track7 'Timeline' has a back alley intro and pumping bass line. Oooh it is a funky monkey with gorgeous beat patting. A rolling tune which pushes higher and higher each time getting further with every second. Different levels to this track which includes an emotional one. It also has an aggressive stance. I found it floaty and I was craving for more and more but they bring that melody in and things couldn't get any better. Scrummy scrumptious and scrummy. Track8 is 'Demented Drum P.2.' consisting of a powerful beginning and steady flowing bubbly trance that gradually boils to the brim. It does spit out some scolding sounds whilst the percussion whispers its own noises. I was captivated by the chant like sample as it seemed to be able to penentrate right through me. I felt that this one is a little infected and its also very big and pretty hard. I'd love to hear it a party. Track 9 is 'Dreamwave'. Spooky grinding made with snappy percussive teeth. Again its an amazing bass line. Sponge like repetative synth stab swill wobble your cheeks. Its totally up for it and the highlight for me was these phenomenal emotional tingly light drops of melody. They come down like rain and are as equally refreshing especially over this bouncing bomb. Time to scream and cream again... Wizzy Noise bring us to a close with 'Outmosphere' which is a great title for the last tune. I found myself getting down to some dirty trancing. Its hugely trippy with lots of differemt dimensions. Pumping psychedelic power and somewhere in there is a familiar whistling sound. Its driving me scatty as to where I've heard that from before, or is my mind playing tricks again? Like the whole album it has so much sound, so much control and so much bass. I really couldn't end the album after hearing this the first time so I hit the rewind and played it again straight after.

Wizzy Noise know their thing well. There are things I "see"
in their mixing techniques and arrangements that "shout out"
about their ability to make nice music -maybe not groundbreaking but still
nice- in their genre of interest. Sequential X- Chaishop - www.chaishop.com (GR)

Wizzy Noise, long time purveyors of psychedelic trance, scuttle along
the celluloid raceways strung between planet-sized, slowly rotating projector
reels, directing delightful quicksilver noir. While the plots in their
vignettes may subtly change from track to track, and from listener to
listener, the overriding sense of urgency carries the theme. It’s
a race against time human, and you, my friend, may be running behind.
