Various Artisits : Visitation

Track Listing: Astralasia : Kalki's Coming - Forthcoming Visitation mix UVX : African Sun SYT : Images Spiralhead : Hello Children of Dub : Fallen Angel Another Green World : Whispering Palms UVX : Elevator - Trancefloor Children of Dub : Soma SYT : Matrix Astralasia : Whirlpool Another Green World : Eau D' Erik

Astralasia contribute a remix of the excellent recent Kalki's Coming (from the 'High Planes Drifter EP') which, unbelievably, is an improvement on the original, and a second track titled Whirlpool, taken from the new album 'The Seven Pointed Star'. This track can only be described as fast, and reflects Astralasia's new direction. Other tracks worth a mention are UVX's African Sun, a cheesy (yet excellent!) Whirl-Y-Gig fave, which was played every five minutes at WOMAD '96 in the Whirly big top (and also features on the Whirl-Y-Gig Compilation Whirly Waves. A second helping from UVX is the trancefloor remix of the long deleted debut single Elevator (from their first album 'Double Helix'). Spiralhead, the latest signing to Magick Eye only contribute one track to the compilation,Hello, but It's a good one. Children of Dub also surprised me, with the track Soma, taken from their debut album 'Chameleon', proving to be very trancey and flows more easily than their other material that i've heard.....Another Green World are very ambient, as per usual, leaving SYT, who have failed to impress me with their recent single releases, BUT, contribute a reasonable couple of tracks and restored my faith...a bit! 'Visitation', Magick Eyes' first compilation album is a must, 100% value for money (it only cost about £8)....

Track Listing: Children of Dub : Electronic Meditation Under The Honeytunnel : Three Monkeys Spiralhead : Beyond The Blue 2 Astralasia : Alien Love Song SYT : In The Heart Of A Blazing Sun Black Hole : Carpenter UVX : The Shape of Life Children Of Dub : ESP Mushroom : Slap Tongue Squeeky Bonk Another Green World : The Big Fish

The second in the series (9/97) of the low budget compilation/sampler CD from Magick Eye Records. It's not quite to the high standards as the first compilation, since not many of the tracks are new or exclusive to this CD. Astralasia, for example, have only provided Alien Love Song, which was a recent single release. However, if you've not got the tracks that feature as singles elsewhere then this is a must for the collection.
