  1. To be honest, I think it would be better for him to Troll forums than attack people on the street.
  2. Well, yeah! If you hate ethnic sounds or have gotten bored of it then this is not for you However I am sick of all the fake ethnic stuff that has flooded the psychill scene & I find the stuff on Dakini so much more real & makes me nostalgic for the time I spent in Asia
  3. While the music is of coures the most important thing I do really enjoy a good cover. I am the same in that the cover can influence my synaesthesia. I always saw the music on Technosommy - Synthetic Flesh as being really colourful while I always saw Dark Green on the tracks from Singularity. I love the covers on ultimae too, I do think that often the best covers have gone with the best albums
  4. Artist: Principles Of Flight Title: Chaos Opera Label: Timecode Records Released: May 2009 Style: Really bloody good Psytrance Samples: Click Tracklist (chapters) 01 Into the Lands of Black and White 02 Chaos Opera 03 The Queen of the Dead (feat. Talpa) 04 Eleanor's Theme 05 Cerberus 06 Charon the Ferryman 07 The Tavern, The Rebels, And The Secret Oath 08 A Gruesome Plan 09 The Black Mass 10 Edward to the Rescue! 11 The Chase 12 A Colourful End It has been a while since I was first amazed by Principles of Flight when they released their debut album Night Time Lullabies back in December of 2006. Nearly 2 and half years later Pierre Delort & Remy Maurin are back with their follow up album Chaos Opera. When the debut is so good the second album can always be tricky. Stay with the same sound then people will call you boring, repetitive & lacking in ideas. Stray too far from your original sound and the people who loved your first album may easily hate your second. Successful artists in this reviewer’s humble opinion manage to keep the atmosphere of their first album but build on it with fresh ideas and more experience technically leading to better production. I believe that Principles of Flight have succeeded very well indeed. Chaos Opera has managed to keep everything I loved about the first album, the concept, the story telling feeling, the mix of up-tempo tracks and downtempo intermissions, the energy & the mix of beats are great. It has also managed though to build on Night Time Lullabies, the production seems cleaner, the fullon baselines while still integral, and fit so well that at times you’ll never notice them; none of them are dominant like many of the high tempo Psytrance that is released nowadays. The psychedelic level I believe has been raised as well if you are crazy chaotic sounds that sound like little monsters hiding just behind that tree then you’ll agree with me that the trippiness here is fantastic. At times I get the feeling that I am listening to a movie soundtrack, with the orchestral feel there & the progression of each track & of the album as a whole I can picture the story in my head. I listened to the album a few times before I read the story in the booklet to see what story my head created before my feeling was distorted by someone else’s words. I imagined dark lands full of dense forests, small towns and morose inns. I imagined traveling through this land with strange creatures lurking in the forest and in the bars, eyes on me all the time. I imagined a journey to find something lost, a journey with stranger creatures becoming more common and forbidden enjoyment working its way out. When I did finally read the story in the booklet I was surprised to see that although there were more details (and of course characters) the story felt like I had imagined, a sign I think of music well made around Pierre and Remy’s concept. “Once upon a time in a far distant land, a land where the only colours were black and white, a land where laughing and smiling was forbidden and where clowns were locked away into dungeons, a land where people had to follow strict rules and where amusement was controlled by a militia, lived a little girl, Eleanor. The day she turned eight, Eleanor had come to terms with the fact that she was going to die - not now, of course, but it would happen eventually, just as it had happened to her dog Woofy, a brave old dog that had reached the age of eighteen. Now you might find it odd for an eight year old girl to think of Death, but in the land where Eleanor lived, it was not an uncommon thought, as starvation and disease were both pretty ordinary.” The start of the story for me describes the atmosphere of the album very well. It is dark yet innocent, classical yet contemporary, mature yet it has a youthful glow. I am really enjoying the sounds used here and the number of layers. I notice new things on every listen, something I often find with ambient albums but much less often with trance albums. Someone once asked me for recommendations for trance with dark ambient atmospheres. At the time my mind went blank as I tried desperately to think of this album. Really this is the best description I can think of, great high energy trance music with dark ambient atmospheres. The best thing is that they probably never had that in mind and it has evolved naturally with better results than I could have imagined. I really can’t recommend this enough. Any fans of Principles Of Flight – Night Time Lullabies should really enjoy this, as I said above it is a brilliant follow up, not to similar to the debut with fresh ideas & cool new concepts but it still has that POF air about it that will have made you fall in love with Night Time Lullabies. If you have never heard Night Time Lullabies but you like conceptual Psytrance albums with a dark edge (I have called this dark a few times but it is so far away from what is known as dark psy) and a hell of a lot of psychedelic goings on then you would do well to get this & Night Time Lullabies at the same time. Listen to the debut first as this album is even better. As an album it is amazing as you really must listen to it as a whole to get the whole thing but even on such great albums there are standout tracks. If the first 10 tracks are amazing then The Chase is out of this world, mind blowingly orgasmic stuff! Combined with A Colourful End it feels like one long track which twists and turns throughout. For a track that starts out energetic it is amazing how it manages to build in energy throughout, the sort of paradoxical building that seems to build and build yet stay the same all the way. There are tracks that no matter where you are when you listen to them you have to pull that stupid “I’m loving this face” and do some weird dancing either head bobbing or something with your hands. The embarrassment of looking like a weirdo at the station is far outweighed by my enjoyment of this track. Dance like there is nobody watching no matter where you are. In A Colourful End the beats change into a drum & bass style and satisfies my hunger for a genre I love but which I feel always sounds the same. These I do believe will be the best tracks I hear this year. Of course I’d love to be proven wrong but it will take something really special to beat these 10/10 tracks. There could have been no better way to finish an album than this. My pattern so far has been to repeat these tracks then start the whole album again. This is my favourite album this year so far by a country mile. Not just in the up-tempo genre but of all genres, this like 2007’s Sienis - From A Nutter Perspective has reignited my love of dance floor music. Thank you Pierre & Remy for this inspiring album! Track By Track Analysis 1. Into the Lands of Black and White A nice intro here, soft strings and piano at the start create an old world atmosphere. Dark sounds set a dark mood and double bass like synths build & build the intensity in almost classical style. 2. Chaos Opera This starts very soft, continuing from the opening track and sounds something like a child’s lullaby from a horror movie before they discover the baby is the devil or something. When the beats kick in they are accompanied by a tight little fullon on baseline which while noticeable doesn’t dominate the track but helps drive this very energetic track. Lots of weird background noise sounds like some monster trying to sing while wet little synth sounds morph into a very acidic synth line driving the energy even faster. There is creaking reminding me of some of the first psy I heard in GNOTR’s Optimum Creakage. The beat is heavy and throughout this track it has an amazingly oppressive atmosphere full of chaotic sounds and techy noises. When the track breaks down it shows some great melody that continues when the beat kicks back in but the feeling of the track is slightly brighter. This has been a very nice opening to the album but it gets even better! 3. The Queen of the Dead (Feat. Talpa) We fly into this track with some lush chimes before the beats kick in with sharp synths slicing through the background into the foreground like a swinging sword. Huge rushes of sound feel like something is rising up through the ground and the wet sounds that kind of plop really quickly make me feel like I am covered in some kind of ectoplasm while dancing like a madman in some huge empty auditorium. The feeling of being in auditorium is highlighted by the feeling of melody. It feels like it is surrounding me, as if it is echoing off the walls in such a grandiose space. The melody is very reminiscent of Talpa’s music but to be honest this is better than anything I have heard from Talpa going solo. The progression of the track is great, with nice leads, trance rolls just at the right places and energy kicking off enough to bring a huge grin to your face. It ends with the melody again then some soft classical piano and softer rain. 4. Eleanor's Theme The rain and piano lead us into Eleanor’s Theme a beautiful melancholic opening which kicks off but not straight into a danceable beat but more like some slow but heavy tribal rhythms. I get the feeling of bondage, capture & the promise of very bad things. This is a great intermission between the upbeat tracks that really adds to the atmosphere and the storytelling feeling. 5. Cerberus Boom! Straight into a fast beat and some oscillating synths sounds. When the melody comes in it is nothing like any of the ones before, the pitch is low almost like it is growling at us. A much higher pitched melody sounds like it is replying and when they merge I get a sense of accomplishment. Another wonderfully layered track with lots going on all over it and neat progression, the melody comes and goes, changes sounds but always has the same feeling. The music breaks down with glitchy chaotic sounds and then just some bizarre oscillation that somehow manages to act as a drum roll and lets the music kick back in. Somehow the energy is missed at this point but I don’t know if that was the point or not. 6. Charon the Ferryman A long dark misty drone starts this track with beats emerging from the fog and blowing it away quickly. This is more chaotic and glitchy than any of the preceding tracks with a lot more noises crammed into the foreground and less in the background. The resulting feeling is like being on a turbulent river, battling against the swirls and eddies. The track is certainly maximal with more optimum creakage like my raft is being torn apart in this maelstrom of sound. Going full pelt almost all the way through there is not much progression but it is perfectly placed in the album that it carries through nicely. 7. The Tavern, The Rebels, And The Secret Oath This track really does have a secretive feeling around the start. The strings and other orchestral sounds add that old world feeling again at the start and a high pitched sound in the build up like a spectral whisper. There are lots of weird sounds that in my head sound like deformed ethereal spirits speaking to me and wanting me to do something for them. These sounds build into a nice melody, which is as infectious as it is simple and when joined by a similar synth line just twists around my head spitting the acid later into my soft brain matter. From simple beginnings this track gets more and more intense, busier and more maximal. By the middle of the track there is almost an overload of sounds and the sensation it creates when it clears feels like some kind of urgent chase. The siren like sounds add to this feeling which continues right through to the end, cool stuff. 8. A Gruesome Plan Another great soft yet heavy, dark ambient intro from which emerges a twisted melody wound tight and rolling through the black air in front of me. The orchestral feeling comes back and without the heavy beat it still manages to keep a lot of energy. When it breaks down into just the piano you realise how much energy & tension was created from just those sounds. Later a tight baseline comes under the piano, nice cool beats that are as relentless as they are magically tribal. I can imagine mad shamans summoning dark powers when I listen to this track, picture Fantasia with a twisted monster and much more psychedelic offerings. 9. The Black Mass You can feel the intensity, which was pretty high in the beginning started to build now with the atmosphere becoming darker and spacier. Feeling more open but still filled with some intangible substance. There are more of the hyperspace type sounds I love so much in Goa but here they sound deeper, darker and when surrounded by haunting ghostly wails much more menacing. I can feel creatures from another dimension pushing against the walls of my reality both around my physical being and inside my head. The melody just adds to the intensity like these dark creatures are desperate for some depraved pleasure at my expense & if they come through I might just enjoy the sensation of being ripped apart. 10. Edward to the Rescue With the intensity building there is little in the way of a gap between the beats from The Black Mass and this. The beats here though seem quicker, the baseline more prominent but still never dominating and the spacey atmosphere has gone into a subterranean overdrive. If you can imagine a huge planet hollowed out so that you can have a spacey feeling while being underground then you might be close to understanding this feeling. The beats continue to change, with a tight funky beat emerging slightly before getting drowned by the dance floor stuff, like flying though a small tunnel into another equal planet sized cavern. The sense of urgency builds and builds even when the music breaks down, it feels like when you run into a room and you know there is something there you need but you have no idea where to look. You are pretty still but no less urgent. Important thing found and it’s time to run again, the beats of this track really make me feel like running & I can picture myself running on the ceiling of the enormous domed cavern I have found myself in. 11. The Chase Way to save the best for last, this track is the bomb!!! Along with the last track this is my favourite on the album, they act as a double climax to such a great album. The huge baseline, the twisted, incomprehensible synths and the massive beats just drive and drive and drive. The sample “Chaos” is I think the only word in the entire album and it is as effective as it is surprising; the fact that it comes so unexpectedly and is over so soon is perplexing and delightful. The utter chaotic craziness of all the synths, sounds and whatnots that follow is mind blowing. The high pitch synth line that follows the second and third utterances of “Chaos” is pretty much fit inducing. Be prepared to dance like nobody’s around wherever you hear this. This is crazy mental nutcase psy at its very best. 12. A Colourful End A top draw Drum & Bass track to end with, I love Drum & Bass but often feel that most of it sounds too much like everything else in the genre so it is great to hear some Psy & Bass. I would really really like to hear more of this sound. This is another climax so soon after the climax of The Chase. The strings, the atmosphere and the amazing beats just make me feel like going mental every time I hear them. This is a fantastic ending to a fantastic album. We are slowly brought down with some soft piano in the last minute drifting slowly back into the real world and wanting instantly to go back to Principles Of Flight’s.
  5. He's still doing that? np The Circular Ruins - Before The Colors Deepened need to listen to some ambient after playing POF new album 20 times in a row
  6. Someone started a thread in offtopic twice, just like another popular topic & he added a spam reply, obviously to state the spam nature of the thread. I guess mars didn't see it like that.
  7. It's on the inside sleeve notes
  8. So who else thinks this album is the shit!!!??? I just can't stop listening to it! Easily the best album of the year so far for me & it will be a very very tough one to beat
  9. Hell yeah I am enjoying this. Blew away my expectations!
  10. His track on youtube sounds nothing like the one on treecreation! Didn't even register that I'd heard this guy before
  11. I am wondering why psytones got a one weeks band when there are others just spamming away with non sensical crap. Psytones usually has something interesting to say but puts a spam reply in a spam topic and is banned? Sorry but why? I'm not pushing for anyone else to be banned here but I find it wrong to see a member who contributes given a one week suspension for something so little while other stuff (much worse) is tolerated.
  12. Wow! What a random thread! I had never heard of Spoonbill before and don't quite see how it relates to General Psytrance at all. I quite liked it though, nothing I'd actually buy but I wouldn't mind hearing. Bwhale you might need to learn to understand that people have different tastes to you!
  13. Principles Of Flight - The Chase :wub: :wub:
  14. This is the best thing I have heard this year! By a long way too. As a fan of downtempo this is really something. I have only heard it 4 or 5 times but my god it's great. Loving it!
  15. Just given this a quick once over & I like what I have heard so far. It sounds like a perfect progression from the first album. It still has that great story like atmosphere with nice contemporary touches and is pretty dark without ever being dark psy if you know what I mean. It is very different from Nighttime lullabies though, more chaotic, more in fitting with Timecode (which is a compliment:)). I hope to write down some longer thoughts soon!
  16. Artist: (val)Liam Title: Daydreamer Label: Celestial Dragon Records Released: 8th April 2009 Style: Downbeat/Ambient Tracklist 1. Gaia (7:54) 2. Happy Accidents (10:03) 3. Freefall (7:02) 4. Earth (5:23) 5. Somewhere Not Here (5:26) 6. Lotus Dancing (6:54) 7. The Mystic (9:13) 8. Solace (7:57) 9. In Samsara (6:10) 10. Daydreamer (7:12) (val)Liam, Liam Skogland from Canada is out with his first physical album release on Celestial Dragon Records. Having previously had 2 tracks on VA - Intermittent Memories which for me were both standouts on that compilation I was very excited when I heard of this release. I was hoping that Celestial Dragon were releasing something to rival last year’s Distant System – Spiral Empire and while this is very different concerning the style and atmosphere it really compares well when talking about quality. From start to finish this album uses lush sounds that are light, melodic and bubbly. The whole album has a fresh late spring or early summer feel and I think that this will be one album I will be playing a lot this summer. This album fills me with an expectation that the summer is going to be a great one & it is making me glad that I have decided to move out of the city & near the beach. I really like how (val)Liam has used a lot of acoustic sounds & blended them with some oldschool Goa Ambient atmospheres. The piano, guitar and bass add some really nice natural flavours but for me it is the clean tribal beats that sound like they are being played with hollowed out tubes of bamboo banging against each other that really make this magical. The sound to the entire album is incredibly clean & although it is unmistakably electronic the atmosphere created is so natural & acoustic. Gaia (T1) is a perfect example of this as I can feel the wind through my hair, the birds in the trees and the water lapping at my feet although none of these sounds are actually used. The first 3 tracks are quite beat orientated sounding like fresh oldschool Goa similar to some of the ambient CDs on the Global Psychedelic Trance compilations. The next 6 are much more ambient with very few beats if any & feeling so very chilled out. Earth (T4), Somewhere Not Here (T5) & Lotus Dancing (T6) sound like they could be on Ishq’s album Orchid with pristine sounds, trippy atmospheres & a touch of the ethereal. Although I make this comparison I never get the feeling that (val)Liam is copying Ishq as these tracks have a flavour all of their own. The Mystic (T7) feels like it could be on The Mystery Of The Yeti with some very Himalayan sounds. It is the only track that starts cold but it gets warmer as it progresses like we are coming down a mountain from the area of permanent snow to a rain forest at the base. The next two tracks are blissful tracks made for relaxing and forgetting about busy stressful lives. The final track Daydreamer sees a return to beat orientated psychill from the opening trio and with its nice beach party atmosphere it seems perfectly placed to make me want to start the album again, which I have done time & time again. Recommendation: This album is a must for any fan of chillout, ambient or downbeat. With such a clean natural feel this album would be great for warm summer days in the park or at the beach, or just chilling out at home. This is great if you want a fresh touch on some oldschool ambient atmospheres. It is trippy, detailed and so very relaxing in the middle. Favourites: All Up to here, originally published on http://www.isratrance.com Track By Track Analysis 1. Gaia Gaia starts of with some lush summery vibes, sounds twinkle like light reflecting of a lake and some acoustic bass tones sound a little like a summer afternoon by the lake with a guitar, some beer & not much to do. As the music tries to become more intense it feels to me like the Earth is speaking to me, the wind through my hair, the birds in the trees and the water lapping at my feet. Although non of these sounds are used I still get the feeling they are there and when the beat kicks in I feel as if I am standing on the shore with the lake behind me looking for miles over the lush green landscape. All the sounds are bright and warm. It is a perfect track for spring or summer. Listen to it outside on a warm sunny day & it will set the mood for the rest of the album. 2. Happy Accidents Lush sounds accompany high piano notes at the start of this one creating a floating feeling while still being anchored by gravity. It’s like floating high above the Earth without the possibility of escaping the pull of the Earth & flying off into space. The piano counters the floatiness of the other sounds. It takes a while for it to evolve into anything other than floaty goodness but when the lush bamboo sounding tribal beat comes in it is worth the wait. Such a lovely clean sound to the beats and as they fade & the more shuffley beats become more prominent I am left with a sense of omnipresence over the world, seeing all lives at once from the mightiest of kings to the lowliest of insects knowing all are equal & beautiful. This is a real feel good track filled with happy notes, nice piano & wonderful beats. 3. Freefall Freefall picks up the pace a little more now with some nice chilled break beats but while still keeping the overall atmosphere created by the opening two tracks. Once again all the sounds are bright happy sounds, not a hint of darkness in their. The melodies here seem a little more involved & structured than before as is the whole track with breakdowns, beats kicking back in with out the melodies, slowly bringing in bass, then more sounds & the melodies returning. This for me really puts me in mind of some old school Goa Ambient but with a nice modern flavour and the sweet summer vibe of a Daydreamer as he gazes up to the sky watching the shapes that the clouds make high above. 4. Earth The pace comes right down to Earth with Earth. No beats in the first half just light sounds wafting through the air like they are being carried on a soft breeze and when beats do gradually appear they are sparse beats that sound like hollow wood being hit by more hollow wood and echoing around a forest clearing. All the sounds again are pristine; I can imagine these sounds being used on the road to whatever Paradise is natural, bright and so very summery. 5. Somewhere Not Here Right from the start of this track I get goosebumps all over the upper part of my body. There is something about the intro with its deep but subtle rumbling bass & sharp light sounds like alien wildlife that just sends a lush chill down my spine. This is definitely the most ambient of the tracks so far with no hint of rhythm & would fit in quite well with a lot of Ishq tracks, for me this goes well will the album Orchid but manages to not sound like it is copying but more like a complimentary track with its own distinct flavour. 6. Lotus Dancing The intro is a sublime oscillating sound with some surprisingly dark bass and a lot of sharp acidic synth sounds. The result is surprisingly warm despite the dark bass and it has the feeling of a warm summer evening after the sun has gone down but the heat of the day is still warming the surroundings. Another very ambient track without any beats but the oscillations create a subtle rhythm that fits very well with the melody that gets stronger & stronger and seems to shift through from the left side of my head to the right and back again. It is very trippy stuff once again, a little like Ishq – Orchid but with a more ethereal feel to it by (very) subtle vocals that I am not even sure are real or just in my own head! Great Stuff. 7. The Mystic This is a track that really lives up to its name. A very mystical track with hint of Himalayan sounds and melodies & at times it feels like I am listening to an extension of the Mystery Of The Yeti. The strange Himalayan instrument used in those great albums is also used here, I have no idea what it is called or even how it is played, to be honest I don’t really know if it is a Himalayan instrument but I get that vibe from it. In the second half the atmosphere changes like it is floating down the river through warmer climes, through rain forests and passed ruins of ancient civilisations. The longer the track goes, the closer it gets to the warm feeling of the other tracks like we were dumped in the mountains but found our way home. 8. Solace Although the atmosphere & many of the sounds used in this track are very similar to the other tracks it still manages to have a life & character all of its own. The use of acoustic guitar more prominently in this track adds a kind of Riviera feel to the music like I am sat outside a restaurant by the sea listening to a local play nothing as I drink with my friends & chat about trivial matters. It is another ambient track lacking in beats and gives me a sense of beautiful freedom. It is the freedom from a stressful urban life, free from the rat race of life & free from worries, very much like a holiday in the sun. 9. In Samsara This track is more orientated around the piano than previous tracks with the notes really coming to the forefront and the other sounds fading into the background more. When the piano stops it feels like the other sounds are rushing around in a calm collected manner around me like leaves caught in a very tame hurricane, spinning around and around but with me at the eye not experiencing any of the stress. All there is, is calm movement & when the piano comes in it is like everything stops & falls to the floor as if in respect for the melody. 10. Daydreamer The final track & the title track is a return to a beat led track with all the summer vibes of the opening tracks with the rhythm that would let it be played at a beach party. It seems a little strange to have another beat orientated track at the end, after so many much more ambient ones but seeing as this possesses the same atmosphere from the rest of the album it seems natural when listening to the album as a whole. With the more upbeat nature it is a track that seems designed to make the listener want to repeat the album and with all of these beautiful sounds and lush melodies it is something I see a lot of people (myself included) doing time & time again.
  17. Artist: Various Title: Tribal Matrix 2 Label: Dakini Records Released: 1st March 2009 Tracklist 1. Makyo – Malfouf (3:43) 2. Omar Faruk Tekbilek – Toros (Kaya Project Remix) (5:54) 3. Jef Stott – Junjara (5:45) 4. Drumspyder – Dunanwi (5:06) 5. Omar Faruk Tekbilek – Dulger (Greg Hunter Remix) (5:46) 6. Rain In Eden – Rumi (5:06) 7. Taichi Masuda – Butcha Bassment (4:33) 8. Taal Fiza – Infospehere (3:38) 9. Makyo – Parandeh (5:25) 10. Drumspyder – Kalypso (4:16) 11. Rain In Eden – Haqiqa (6:24) 12. Dubsahara – Zentropy (7:11) 13. Adham Shaikh – Kundalini Fuel (13:29) Tribal Matrix 2 is basically Dakini doing what Dakini do best, 13 delicious tracks that sound naturally ethnic not forced or sample ridden like a lot of Psychill has become. Bouncing back after what I thought was quite a disappointing album in Lumin – Ketri, Tribal Matrix 2 is better than the first Tribal Matrix and on par with the great Nada Masala compilations. Yes the Sky Dancers are back on form, listening to this compilation is like being transported to exotic lands, being amused in lavish palaces full of gold and people dressed in colourful attire made for entertainment. In many of the tracks I can picture the two ladies on the front cover dancing in the centre of the room and a host of people eating, drinking, mingling and being merry. In others I can picture myself outside in a hot country but away from the city so the heat is comfortable rather than stifling, sitting next to a lake on the seashore dancing under the stars with your best friends that you have just met & will never see again. The whole compilation just feels free, imagine the feeling you get when you have just finished school, you don’t plan to get a job for another year & you have saved enough money to just go travelling round the world. You visit wonderful places with no pressure to move on quickly but just to enjoy yourself. It’s a wonderful feeling & one I am glad to get back just by putting on a CD. Makyo provides 2 tracks for this compilation and you know with Makyo you are going to get some high quality vibes but even I was surprised by how good these tracks are Malouf is a wonderful mood setter at the beginning of the album while Parandeh is an extremely trippy track with a lot of layers and instruments, short vocals that come in sharply & fade out ethereally. Jef Stott gives us an absolutely amazing track with Junjura. The rhythms, melodies and the multitude of acoustic instruments (the lute is particularly nice) blend wonderfully into a very energetic, feel good chillout tune. Drumspyder also has two tracks on this compilation with strong beats and more of an electronic sound but they still keep the lovely natural flavour of the rest of the album. These tracks have really got me anticipating a Drumpsyder album. Rain In Eden – Rumi is a nice 5 minute track that starts of pretty chilled but builds in intensity throughout until it feels like a large group of musicians jamming in harmony under a clear starry night. Haqiqa feels like a very welcome encore. Finishing with an Adham Shaikh track with additional help from Ishq should be mandatory for the rest of the series (please let there be more) as it is such a beautiful soft comedown with lush beats, melodies and an atmosphere that soothes my mind. Brilliant stuff. Recommendation: For Dakini fans and anyone who is a fan of ethnic music this is a must have. People who used to like ethnic psychill but who got bored with everything sounding the same or just sounding fake and plastic could really have their love of the ethnic music return by listening to this wonderful, natural music from ‘She who traverses the sky’ Favourites: 1,3,4,6,9,10,11,13 Originally Published on http://www.isratrance.com
