    What we think of it...

    I'm a big Menis fan so this isn't going to be a dispassionate appraisal. Menis creates possibly the most obviously dr*g-inspired music on the face of the planet - I mean, look at the track titles, engage the artwork, then listen to the music. It's just great. Check "Fluff Killer" for its scary intensity or "Insekure" for its pumping mayhem. Insane, unsane? Maybe that other master, Simon P, was right. Bias aside, there are a couple of rather ordinary tracks here too, but I am going to play the rest VERY loud indeed. Neighbours go away!

    I am one of the lucky ones to have this album. It hasn't made it to the westcoast of US yet. Anyway, like Jason said look at the cover which is so disturbing but so organic and then the track names. it just fits so insanely. Brilliant but I still need more. Almost as if I have an addiction to Nick's music.

    I can't understand what is so special about this one. To my ears it sounds boring. Maybe I have to snort some speed to like it (and I fuckin' hate speed).

    I went to a JOTI SIDHU party recently and when I heard this album I recalled the feeling of that great night (or morning should I say ???). From the musical aspect it cannot be compared to "alien protein" or "macrophage" but there are some great bl33ps and squelches in it.

    This is why Koyote kicks ass now and will continue to do so in the future. Very, very alien.

    Bought it a few days ago. Sounds like a blueprint for the mayhem Infected Mushroom is creating right now. An excellent album.

    Got it today & I must say I rather like it.. the thing Menis wants to say is that the Drugs actually do work! that song is also my favorite together with fluff killer which is the most weird one here.. Just love it! buy it. I can agree with dj_auryn that it sounds sort of like Infected Mushroom

    hmm... Me again. I´ve listened to it a few more times and I have to say it has grown on me even more! Very very good! I love "ZeitGeist". Especially in the beginning with that great melodie. "Mushroom Maze" is also one among the good ones with a more funky style than the others.. All the tracks are good except the slow ones, I´ve never likes that sort of goa.. get it! 8,5/10

    Solid hard trance. Nothing soft about it. A great album for serious trancers.
