Review by Winston

Album Review: Osmosis EP by Strange Loop (1994) The Osmosis EP by Strange Loop is a gem of the UK’s 1990s electronic music scene, blending House and Goa Trance into a unique sonic experience. Released in 1994 under the Guerilla label, this EP feels like a time capsule of experimentation and energy that still resonates today. It’s not perfect, but it’s got this raw charm that makes you want to hit replay—or at least nod your head awkwardly if you’re sitting in an office chair like I am right now. Let’s dive straight into the tracks. First up, “Here It Comes.. There It Goes (Remix).” This one grabs you from the start with its pulsating beats and hypnotic rhythm. The remix adds layers of texture that make it feel like you're floating through space while simultaneously stomping on a dance floor. You can’t help but notice how the track builds momentum—it teases you, drops back, then slams you again. Honestly, it’s hard to forget because it’s so dynamic; it keeps you guessing what’s coming next. If you’re into stuff that’s both trippy and grounded, this will stick with you. Then there’s “Speed Of Light.” Woah, talk about intensity! From the moment it kicks off, it feels like someone strapped rockets to your headphones. The tempo is relentless, and those Goa Trance vibes are just dripping all over the place. It’s chaotic in the best way possible—like organized chaos for your ears. What sticks out here is how the melody seems to shimmer amidst all the madness. It’s almost meditative, even though it’s fast enough to make your heart race. Definitely a standout track that showcases Strange Loop’s knack for balancing complexity with pure groove. “Osmosis,” the titular track, deserves mention too. It’s more subdued compared to the others, but don’t let that fool you. Its subtle shifts and atmospheric tones create a vibe that’s kinda eerie yet oddly comforting. It reminds me of late-night drives where you’re lost in thought but also hyper-aware of everything around you. Not exactly what you’d expect from a dance EP, but hey, surprises keep things interesting. Looking back, the Osmosis EP might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Some listeners might find parts of it dated, which, well, they wouldn’t be wrong—it is nearly 30 years old. But isn’t that part of its appeal? It’s unapologetically itself, a product of its time yet weirdly timeless in its own quirky way. And here’s the thing: albums like this remind us that music isn’t always meant to be polished or flawless. Sometimes, it’s about capturing a moment—a loop, if you will—and letting it resonate however it does. So yeah, maybe Strange Loop didn’t set out to change the world with this EP. But man, they sure made something that’ll stick in your head long after the last beat fades… or until you accidentally spill coffee on your laptop mid-listening session.
