Various - Inner Circle mp3 album

Tribal Vision Records is a progressive trance label based in the Czech Republic. A very productive label for sure, that has released three compilations in less than one year! And looking at their schedule, there are still a lot to look forward to within this year. It is compiled by Slater and Schwa. I like the way this label gives us various styles within progressive trance. Here we get techy progressive, electro influenced progressive and more trippy progressive. As we can see on the the cool cover art of this CD, it takes a bit darker direction than the previous two compilations. As usual, they have mostly really big, good names from the progressive scene here, like Human Blue, Parrket, Etnoscope and Tegma, but also some of their newcomers who has come up with some fresh, nice tracks lately, such as Prosect and Kalimax. Sweden has put themself on top of the progressive map many years ago, and are strongly represented here too. Actually half of the compilation is made by Swedish artists! There should be something for several different tastes here. Personally I have many favourites. The one I like the most is the great hypnotic Parrket track, which is one of the coolest tracks I have heard this year. Also very nice is the trippy, floating Kalimax track, which should create a massive vibe on the dance floors wordwide Tribal Vision Records has definately become one of the best progressive trance labels out there. It’s also nice to see a label that give us something more for a change. Here we get a nice booklet wit a lot of interesting reading about the artists, and funny graphics mixed with pictures. Recommended for those of you who are looking for some new, fresh progressive music!

Sleekness! Tribal Vision Records is out with their third compilation – as always it’s compiled by the label bosses Slater & Schwa, so we’re in good hands here… I was utterly impressed by their last compilation Lime Light which was released in April 2005… That was one funky, proggy cross-over bonanza with a high percentage of great tracks… This one is supposed to be a little darker, and once again I’m impressed just by looking at the track-list here… Well, I’ll be damned if the Tribal Vision guys haven’t gone and done it again… Released another benchmark compilation of hi-quality music… There are a couple of tracks that doesn’t really do much for me – and track #5 is a total miss for me… But luckily the less-good tracks are by far outweighed by the large amount of brilliant tracks here… I’m really impressed – especially by the last half of this compilation… It is one kick-ass track after another – made by some of the heavy-weights of the genre… Again the artwork is simply stunning here… I really like the extensive booklet with info on all artists… The artwork by Quapim is among the best I’ve ever seen… Very classy – somewhere in between H.R. Giger and Terry Gilliam stylewise… Also the easy-rip DJ case insert will come in handy for the DJs out there… All in all a very impressive compilation… Darker than Lime Light, but equally good… Recommended to all fans of progressive trance with diverse cross-over influences! Enjoy! Favourites: 3, 6(!!), 7, 8, 9(!), 10(!!)
