Misted Muppets From The Legend Trancelucent (Israel)

reviewed by ed. whose punctuation leaves a lot for an 'editor' to do.

Okay - this is absolutely <*_*> basically (meaning, - exactly what it doesn't and couldn't say. Think -boys: bare skin, fractal bras, sarongs and dreadlocks, -girls: bare skin, big muscles, sarongs and dreadlocks.yes? ok.) To spell it out- this is a great album. In the age of trance which sees most albums being as memorable as last tuesday's morning shit, this stands out as the day on which toilet breaks become a thing of the past, as next centuy's answer to the gut wrench becomes a reality: poo-free food. From the moment the first roaring, snarling tune drops from the cinematic score that opens this music-fest, jaws are left hanging below the nipples while kness

jostle for position somewhere the far side of saturn. And it doesn't let up. It turns out that the first tune was a gentle introduction, propelling you into spura-plutonic orbit, before the rest of the album takes in a leisurely roller coaster ride of the rest of the galaxy via some pretty dark and moody corners of your psyche. The breakdowns in this album are truly epic, dropping from breakneak full-on into eerie creaks and atmospheres that really are horror movie accompaniment. The press release says that this duo are planning to make a foray into writing music for movies and on the evidence here we reckon they'll do pretty damn well. The purpose here is not to complain again about the reams of mass p roduced trance that is about as appetising as a month old big mac but only to mention it in comparison against which this album stands out like a supernova on heat. Real music. Again, at last, and how happy this makes me is a story that can only be told by pretty much everyone I tell about this album, which is practically

everyone I know, and quite a few people I meet that I don't know as well, along with people that I don't meet and just shout "Buy the Misted Muppet album. It's great!" So, having taken a horror movie atmosphere and effects and then stuck a PH-at psy backbone underneath the 303 is deployed

to full synapse shattering effect and the whole album fairly reeks of nitrous fuelled acid madness. The whole thing is belting along at a huge number of grins-per-frequency (the new psy trance measuring standard) by about the first minute and a half. The whole album is tied together as a continuous piece of music and the whole thing is absolutely fantastic with some moments that are even better that arrive inside you and erupt out into the world leaving you bouncing off the

walls and dodging the gremlins on the ceiling. It seamlessly builds and builds the atmospheres over the first few tunes and then it all goes a little bit weird (you know, the great weird!) in the middle section before bringing back some gloriously dark and twisted melodies for the final run! Dark, phat, lots of acid lines, melodies that make you want to dive through the floor, sweet and banging throughout and wicked production -- it has it all. So, - good album....?
