"Advanced Options" is the name of the series of compilations by Israeli Brand New Entertainment. After full-on discs compiled by Time Lock (chapter number one) and Future Prophecy (chapter number two), the time has come for a "progressive" compilation by Echotek (Israeli Micha Yossef).

This not mixed disc, which tempo oscillate between 128-137 BPM, contain ten tracks which can be assigned to two groups, however, it won't be a split into better and worse tracks. First subjective group contain: "Rush" (track number 3.), "Androids" (7.), "Everything Is You" (8.) and "Point Of Life" (9.). These compositions simply not fascinate, they have a standard sound. But the other six hold so own characteristics that I'll tell more about them. We start with the first two tracks. Composition titled "The Lost Room (Part A)" by Moshic remind Elysium Project sounds from "Regenerated" album. This one isn't too much energetic, but is more focusing on atmosphere with tribal references and on a simple though a nice melody. Without a doubt the best track on this CD is "Floating Hz" by Echotek. We have here an essence of progressive sound derived from Scandinavia from the early years of this century: quite a lot fresh motives builded on pad sounds, beautiful atmosphere and very simple and addicting rhythm; only in the middle of the track sounds are more Israeli because of a bit full-on elements we can find there.

"Late Night Drive" present electro-house sounds in which the classical prog drive to at the present time. This track aim definitely for the masses, similarly as the next two. Vibrasphere in "Orange", track number five, portrayed for us their typical sound in the totally full way, so it's a clubby course with their old style to be heard sometimes in the background. I can't refuse that many energetic doses we have here. While the track by Echotek from this compilation is great, his remix of Oforia's "Return Of The Machines" is absolutely an artistsic counterbalance for "Floating Hz". We have here the most media orientated track. Media orientated, so unusually simple for reception. This composition can be literally pigeonholed as idle trance because have got a regular man vocal. But a surprise brings the last track. "Radio Active" by Atomic Culture is a relatively powerful and energetic one that maybe as the only one from this compilation is energetic and have some psytrance vibes at the same time.

We have here not so commercial sounds as we get with the last artists albums from BNE, though from the other side set compiled by Echotek can't be named as a non commercial, because is focusing on the very large range of clubby taste of the masses.
