Here's the review I wrote regarding the new Hallucinator...I like the 'Sethos' track the best, in fact, I really enjoyed the B side...the A cut, while being the usual hypnotic, dubbed out stuff, got kinda repetitious, so I was real surprised and did enjoy the B muchly. And yeah, that Blue Film is weird...good stuff...I can't find my review of that one right now. HALLUCINATOR - RED ANGEL - CHAIN REACTION…Play this main cut 33, 45 or just about wherever you like the feel of it…thick, deep, dubby hypnotic stuff with lots of gurbles, brushes, twinkles and a neat lil' stop/start like the loop is being reset. It grows more intense as it goes along to further enhance it's effect. On the B side,'Sethos' has a deep Egyptian feel as bongos slowly beat, bell-like sounds, exotic feelings, and echoed effects slide thru the mist. 'Phebes' is a deep, ambient, mysterious piece with layers of long, mutating, trippy synths, far off tribal drumming that grows closer and a large cloudlike, enveloping atmosphere. np...WTSR 91.3fm in Trenton , NJ These Technotic Times...I'm taking a hiatus from my Dj duties there & checking out my mate Rob doin a great job with some weird, dark stuff.
