09/07/10 Unity Of Science reviewed at Isratrance °° - back to top
Our latest release, the F.F.T full album 'Unity Of Science' has been reviewed at the Isratrance website. You can read the review below or you can also follow this link.

Marcos Sanchez should be pretty known to the full on crowds if you think of Lamat or the F.F.T project. This here is another album by him, filled mostly with collaborations. The newer full on style is clearly present here, with lots of epic build-ups and a constantly warping and pounding basslines. Acidlines are flying all over the place too, just the way this kind of full on has to sound in my opinion. The first track immediately takes no prisoners and builds up really well. Track 2 is more of this, with some more emphasis put on a melody. Track 3 is even more melodic and fits really well in the Dacru catalogue, the Orientation compilations being really melodic as well. This is definitely one of my favourite tracks. Track 4 is more like the opener again, but with Blade Runner sampling, like one of my old time favourite tracks from Silicon Sound. It also has this nice 8 bit C64 sound in it which I also love. The title track has a great funky bassline and I love the breaks in here. Tracks 6, 7 are more of the same, lots of bassline shifts, nice melodies and never cheesy. The finalizer is a remix to Mandragora Filipina from Stalker. This one is also really melodic and has Mexican voice sampling, just like the original, of course.

The experience of Marcos is clearly heard in this album, everything sounds in its place, there are no really big breaks (this style gets killed by too many) and the songs all have the right amount of voice samples, which aren’t overdone either. And thank god, no singing!! This style has been abused by so many producers. Marcos stays true to what works best. His three Lamat albums have always been among my favourite full on albums. The previous F.F.T albums were pretty good too. This one is taking up a place in my top ten full on albums for sure.

Recomendation:  Well, what does it finally come down to? If you’re into hard kicking melodic psytrance then this is a great place to look. From the great mastering by Silicon Sound (a master of this genre himself) and the cool futuristic looking artwork and even the CD itself, everything is polished and nice. If you liked previous F.F.T or Lamat outings you should get this one asap.

Release info

Compiled by French trance innovator Kinesis.

Spun Records and Geomagnetic boldly continues their full power integration and return of a visionary approach to future shaping with an all new chapter in dance music history.

'End Game' is a chronicle from the distant future where life has changed dramatically in ways you can barely imagine! After technology ran rampant through the civilized regions of the planet a new form of synthetic sentience emerged and questioned its own reason for existence. Deep in the Nexus of the great architects of this twisted timeline the Future Frequencies of Technology were being manipulated. The creature is literally a Growling Machine running rampant through My House remixing it into astonishing new dimensions with a powerful Block Device revision. The story continues as the freshly emancipated cyborg becomes a self realized individual screaming out to the world for Vengence as it becomes known as Phatmatix. Exploring this Massive technological world we seek an answer to Why They Look Like Us while being remixed using Polypheme transformation methods. Out in the megalopolis a Phonic Request by the Terraformers is declared: Are We Robots? When suddenly appearing to quell what might have turned into a riotous robotic revolution the Mesmerizer appears and announced that everyone is Going To Have Fun! The whole city becomes one synchronized Digital Sound Project with the code name K.O.R.N. (Kinetic Orbiting Reactive Navigator). The projects goal to create a deep space multi dimensional Voyager and E-Fact gathering platform dubbed Crazy Diamond that will essentially set up a semi permanent base on the dark side of the moon and create a interdimensional portal and we wish you were here for the opening party! A launch date for Kinesis into another dimension was set for 12-2112. The Aladiah consulted all the Signs then gave the ship a Salty Kiss and sent it off for its maiden voyage! Truly an epic tale with truly an epic cast 20 world class international artists contributed phenomenal music, outstanding graphics, pristine audio mastering and inspirational leadership, vision and determination to collect the very best work as a truly memorable time capsule of our futuristic present day of 2010 looking forward into the distant past to discover an oddly wonderful tomorrow waiting for us each day with magic mixed with mighty new technology empowering us to fulfill our collective dreams of an ever growing and improving collective world vision of peace and borderless beats! Compiled by French trance innovator Kinesis (half of Crying Freemen) and presented on one of the leading psytrance labels in the world, Spun Records! Visionary Graphic Art by Nico Psy Art in France.
