It's time for another compilation from Dacru Records. It seems only yesterday I reviewed volume 4 of this series, but hey, that was released almost a year ago already. Anyway, a new chapter in this ongoing series, which is again compiled by DJ Nemesis and again got a few well known artists and consists of massive melodic full on with no cheese added, thank you. No vocoders or lyrics here... Let’s give a short impression of the tracks. U-Recken kicks off with Stop Time, a delightfully deep stomper with a massive chugging bassline and a nice melody. Beatnik continues in that vein, but places more emphasis on the melodies, especially towards the climax. Great stuff that makes me feel like I’m standing in front of the ocean, partying my ass off on some beach party. On to Peace Maker (T3), that gives off lots of nice vibes as well. Krunch (T4) make Never End a lot deeper sounding in the 2009 version and it gets all the better because of it. Twilight is back after his debut and this track is just like his album. Atmospheric synth beginning that reminds me of that old Silicon Sound album, Pure Analog. Great track. It gets even more melodic when Ephedrix remix to Electro Sun vs. Brain Damage's Hypnotic Voices (T6). Big melodies, massive bassline, the works. Lamat & Smosh deliver one of the least melodic tracks on here, it’s nice for an in between tracks here and it has this driving feel to it, like a train that keeps going and going. Aquila & Sufi go massive again, but we’re used to that by now. It's acidlines all over the place in this one. Nice track, again, like the previous one it's not too melodic. It sounds just like Aquilla's album, although a little less massive, probably because they collaborated with Sufi on this one. Still, a good track. Finally, the CD ends off with Chronos, who delivers a massive melodic sounding track. It reminds me of Protoculture. I wonder what happened to him lately. Mastering is great, cover artwork smooth and colorful as always and it’s packed to nearly 70 minutes of music.
 
Recomendation:  And there you have it: this is great stuff. DJ Nemesis sure knows how to pick ‘em. If you like your full on melodic, fat and still not cheesy, you should definitely check this one out. I don’t have any downers here, but I do have favorites...
 
Favorite tracks:1-3, 5, 6, 9.

Also the Aquila full album 'Gain Control' couldn't remain without review at leading psytrance website www.isratrance.com. You can read the review here below:

Aquila are Thomas Van Hulle and Jonas Dryhoel. They both hail from Belgium. It makes a change from all those Israeli guys making full-on right? Just joking, but it’s nice to know psytrance comes from all over the world. Anyway, you might have already guessed it, but Aquila is all about full on. The promo text says they have a no nonsense approach to it, and I tend to agree. If you’ve heard tracks from them before on compilations, you already have an idea of how these guys sound. Think along the lines of Atomic Pulse or something similar and you’re pretty much there. The sounds on offer here characterize themselves mostly because of a deep bass line that rolls along nicely. There’s not much variation in the bass line, but then again, it isn’t needed if the rest is interesting enough. And that is surely the case here. Most of the tracks have nice acidic loops and melodies swinging around, and that’s the main focus here. For the rest all the basic psytrance ingredients are here, bass line, acidloops, beat, hi-hats and occasional percussion. Effects are used with precision and exactly where you’d expect them to be. The album plays along very smoothly, with never a sharp edge poking around where you wouldn’t want. This makes the whole thing an excellent DJ tool. There are plenty of tracks here that’ll fit into a nice uplifting set easily. For home listening it is recommended too, especially if you like that massive full on bass line hitting away at your ears for about 70 minutes. One of my favorites here is Fuerza (T6) in collaboration with Chronos. It’s one of the fattest sounding tracks here. Another favorite is Down Under (T9) which is also really fat in sound and great in melody. The only real downside of the album is the artwork, which is functional enough, but kind of bland in my opinion.

Recommendation: There is lots of great full on out there at the moment, so why should you go for this? Well, first of all because it’s one of the most consistent albums out there at the moment. There is no experimentation, no weird tracks, no chill out and best of all- no downers. There is not a single track on here that is weaker than the other tracks. Of course everyone is bound to have favorites, but this album is as solid as they come. Looking for a big full on CD? Look no further.

Favorite tracks: 6, 9.
