So, I have had it cycling on my S1 for some time now, time to drop a few words. This is the first of Maniax Memori albums published to-date. As the author said, the pieces included in the compilation are various compositions recorded in former years -- but whole has been mastered to form an album. Some of the songs use continuous mix (without pause). Generally there is much experimentation with sound, klang, rhythm, and radiophonic techniques. Some of the loops and tracks I've already known from Grace Valhalla's albums, so my suspicion, that the acquaintancy of the two artist is more mutual, than just sharing the same label, seems to be true -- if they exchange pre-recorded material. However not social patterns are my concern, but music. And the music is better than just good. This album may seem just another trip-hop mix -- but it has a swing: when listening, just from the first few seconds You find Yourself banging the head and tapping fingers to the arm rest or desk top. The rhythm is contagious, and the loops adhere to the mind like self-repeating meme. Every note has its place and every piece seems just natural in the order of the album. And it rocks. Sources of looped tracks are very various: from generic beat tracks through many electronic passages ending with beethoven's Seventh (in fucked TH rbbr) and De Gaule (?) and Hitler's public speeches (in The free mix and 39/45 inD). Certainly, this is something You won't pass by indiferently. Final rating? Eight stars. [++++++++--]
