music review:

Various Artists ::: "Zeitgeist vol.3"

electronica-acid-trance

Another compilation of new and wonderful sounds from this Melbourne label. This is perhaps the best Australian electronica compilation I've come across (and I've heard about 10). It begins with some trippy trance in "ignition" by TR-storm, into helicopters and then more hypnotic trippy layerings of bleeps and beats in "sora" by Sayaka. Cinnaman's track "oh yeah" is a mellow groaner-groover .

This is followed by Artificial's funky "authority over the fish" with its rowdy brass samples.Blimp present a quirky stomper in "Boi-oing" and Krang get on your nerves with their offbeat and screechy " acid plastik". TR-storm pop up again with a hypnotic tribalistic trip in "cause". Honeysmack's "elect-sion" is a minimalist slow trance piece with old-school influences that writhes and evolves gradually. Reminds of some classic Psychic Warriors of Gaia. TD5 present "Walking Circles" which features flangeing hi-hats and warbling talking synths. Little Nobody's track "nobody's driving" is a mixture of soundscapes and transient hip-hop beats. Whatever Man's "glass and a half" completes the CD with ambient waveforms and frantic yet subdued jungle beats.

You can also see a detailed review of the awesome "Zeitgeist volume 2" double-CD on the Blatant Propaganda web-site. The music on that collection is much more full-on and scarier than volume 3 but I don't think there are many left so you'd better jump in quick. It's also thoroughly recommended.

$25
