Number Five: Kindzadza and Friends - 13 Dimension Connection

What do you have to do to get an entire remix album to yourself?

I started this album moments before stepping on the bus this morning and knowing what I know about Kindzadza and his brand of dark-psy I was worried.  There's a reason this style of psytrance is coined trauma trance so I could only hope that I could keep it together long enough to disembark at my stop before having a complete mental freakout.  

This isn't from the album but no kidding I must have dozens of albums that sound like this.

Oddly enough no mental freakouts happened and by the time I finished the album I have to say, I didn't completely hate it.  Sure a lot of the music on the CD is pretty one note (that note being 150 BPM, balls to the wall, blow your mind into parallel dimensions psytrance) but maybe it's because these are collaborations with other producers but things never got completely out of hand.  Sure the tunes were still hard, and still entirely too long for the most part but at 9 AM when I'm trying to get my body and mind ready to work this may have been what the doctor ordered.   Granted, I don't think I'll be making any habits of throwing on Kindzadza in the morning (I have death metal for that) but for this one listen not only did I make it through the whole album but I really liked parts of it.  

And seriously, what's the deal with psytrance songs just ending.  Psytrance producers don't like winding things back down.  It's just eight minutes on a sonic roller coaster and then a brick wall.  Maybe that's the point?
