Xerox & Illumination - XI [HOM-mega]

HOMmega is proud to present their 2nd joint venture album 'XI'...

...featuring raw, metallic, full on psy trance with lots of power and drive. The album is filled with elements that bring to mind the likes of Cosma, X-dream, Domestic and more as the duo explores the deeper sides of global trance: from down tempo techno-trance through hectic electric big beat to massive epic psy trance - a joyous journey from start to end!

The album includes 2 extra gems. The final remix for Astrixs hit 'Oranda' (never released before) and a tribute remix by Etnica to the collaboration track with Chakra '7 days'

Israels Xerox (Moshe Keinan) and Illumination (Amir Dvir) joined forces in 2002 and released their first collaboration album, 'Temporary Insanity', in 2004 to be followed by various releases on leading compilations of labels such as T.I.P world, Hit Mania, Crystal Matrix, Sirius, Noga and more

Style: Psytrance

Released: Oct. 2005

IMO - 9/10

great psy album with lots of intricate work going on & not as predictable as some stuff. Highlights include Battleship especially

I started listening to Xerox when I bought his album Xerox & Freeman - Race in 1998. That was a great CD.
Though I was not very keen on the stuff he released afterwards with Illumination. Some was good and some not that good but he still remains as one of the better producers from Israel.
It's not easy to release a full on CD which really sticks out since the market is flooded by artists with very similiar sound.

For the curious one I warmly recommend Cosma's album Nonstop from 2003. Still remains as one of the best albums to come out from Israel in years. To bad Cosma died soon after the release of the album and he is missed for sure.

I will check this out, I haven't been listening to much full on lately. Will see if its something cool.

R.I.P Cosma. Was a great producer, +1 on the Nonstop album

Will have a listen to the XI album, not familiar with their works...
