A while ago I wrote some words here about GS records and Median Project spitting out goa that has lots of sounds, but don't really go anywhere. Sort of the same rhythm for 8 minutes without climaxes or surprises. Great sound design, but poor story telling. I had that feeling even more when I listened to the samples of "In The Depths Of Space".
Now, this is a good example that samples not always reflect what's truly inside. I listened to this album now a few times and it's time to set things straight.
The first 3 tracks are exactly what I wrote as critics before. Great sounds, but I'm still very hungry when the last second of each track ends. I feel that nothing really has grabbed me or surprised me. But...
From "In The Dark" on (track 4) , the album is a bliss of melodic, pumping, climactic goa trance. Listening to the rest of the album is sheer joy and pleasure.
The writing is really good, the engineering spot on and the basses deep and rolling. Immersion in total fantasy.
The remix of Life Support System is indeed a killer!
So I'm sorry of not believing in you from the first, but you are a master.
Well done, Median. Well done.
