This CD is lots better then the first one (deep trance and ritual beats)!!! Specially CD1!!! There's only one bad song on it (2) but when you hear that track of the Green Nuns Of The Revolution you go crazy, and it's the same for track 1,4,7&10!! The second CD is indeed not as good as the first one... But it's still a fine collection of chill and Ambient!! best songs on CD2 are 1,5,7&9 And the art-work is wonderful!! You have even a complete book in your CD with information about ALL the groups of this CD, about chakra's, about the Goa-scene,... Great work of RTTS! Bom Shankar

Brilliant song!!)If you don't have most of them already then it is a very good investment. Best Tracks: 2,3,4,5&8 Bom Shankar

ALL SONGS ARE AWESOME!!!! Except track nr 5, that's "only" very good!!! Chi-ad.'s Eye Am The I is even the best song I've ever heard, unbelievable, hypnotic melody and still hard enough to dance... The First song is a great classic that everyone knows I guess and nr 3 is typical Psy-Trance of Kerry Palmer (aka Dimension 5)!! Nr 4 is also such an unbelievable great song!! I just can't describe, you just have to listen!!!! Nr 6 is also very good building-up Goa-Trance!! 7 is a typical Laughing Buddha song with some great melodies and great to trip... Nr 8 is a full-on dance remix of an old song of Killing Joke and the last song is also a wonderful example of building-up Goa-Trance!!! When you've read this review... Don't doubt, just run to your store and BUY this awesome album!!! Bom Shankar

V/A - The Wizardry Of Oz Artist: Various Title: The Wizardry Of Oz Label: Transient Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 01'42" Antediluvian Rocking Horse : The Rhythm Sticks 02. 07'41" Parasonix : Warp Phaze 03. 05'59" Fluoro Conspiracy : Chapel Perilous 04. 06'56" Rip Van Hippy : I Couldn't Talk 05. 08'09" Insectoid : The Web 06. 08'26" The Visitors : Tiny Little Engines 07. 10'26" Reflecta : The Itchy Witches Of Androgenetica 08. 07'17" Shaolin Wooden Men : Remember The Slime 09. 09'01" Snake Thing : Shango 10. 06'52" Fluoro Conspiracy : Ancient Suns Review: A completely wicked CD from the best Australian Psy-Trance artists!! I don't like this compilation very much because it's very chaotic, and it's simply not my style!! I'm sure some other people will like this compilation!! In fact, this compilation is of Psy-Harmonics, but they made this CD together with and under label of Transient!! If you want do buy this CD, first listen to it, because it's a strange style!!! Best songs: 1,6,7&10 Bom Shankar

V/A - Chakra Blue Artist: Various Title: Chakra Blue Label: Nova Tekk Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 08'10" Electric Sunrise : Electric Sunrise 02. 07'44" Der Dritte Raum : Hale Bopp 03. 08'28" Planet BEN And Spiralkinda : Triple Helix 04. 08'23" Genetic : Floor 05. 09'14" Elysium : Trancelestial Psychobabas 06. 07'25" Jaïa : Breathing Ocean 07. 07'29" Green Nuns Of The Revolution : Rings Of Fire 08. 09'16" Chi-ad : Astral Warrior (Rmx) 09. 09'18" Astral Projection : Dancing Galaxy Review: Very various CD!! The first part of the Cd isn't very good and has some strange songs (3,4) that aren't very good... Sure not to dance!! Luckely the CD really starts with nr 5!!! Very good song of Elysium... Jaïa isn't too great but after that we have 3 "killers" (7,8&9)altough it's strange to place them together on 1 CD!! Also a pitty is that most of those songs are already on other compilations... So If you already have nr 5,7,8&9, don't buy this CD!!

Chi-ad - Virtual Spirit Artist: Chi-ad Title: Virtual Spirit Label: Ganesha Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 10'11" Healing Magic 02. 07'31" The Ocean Also Dreams 03. 09'26" Astral Warrior 04. 07'50" State Of Mind 05. 09'14" Serpent's Fire 06. 08'30" Inner Energy 07. 07'24" Paranormal Activity (Spooky) 08. 07'52" Organic Forms 09. 08'57" Sacred Vision Review: It's Not a bad CD but I'm sure Chi-ad. can do better!!! The songs from Chi-ad. who are on compilations (like celestial, Eye Am The I, Exit Eternity, Astral Warrior Rmx) and not on his own CD's are better than the stuff on this CD!! Ok, most of those songs are pretty good but there are no killers on it!! Best songs are: 1,3,5,6,7 Specially song 1 is ok... It has ancient Indian Sounds in it and he used it very well in that song!!! It's also a pitty that there's not the Remix of Astral Warrior on the CD because that song is much better like the original!! Bom Shankar

This album rulezzzz!!! I bought it 2 days ago and it's already in my TOP-3!!! Really wonderfull!! It's hard, it's extremely psychedelic and very melodic (altough the most souns are pretty dark...) And there are also 3 (=>3,5,6)songs that are really hypnotic, when you hear those you just fly into another dimension, you don't feel yourself on earth anymore!!! Best songs: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7&9! Lord of the dance is "only" mediocre!! For that boy from Sweden, just buy this album on the site of Boom! Records! Bom Shankar

It has still lots of Israeli classics, but I've heard most of those songs already so much that I'm kinda bored by them (when I don't listen to this Cd for a month than I really LOVE it again when I hear it back!!) So it's worth the investement when you don't have those songs already on other CD's!! Best tracks:1,3,5,6&7 Bom Shankar

All songs are very well balanced and they all have a long building-up with lots of nature or tribal sounds...!! Because of the long building-up the most songs are really good... They have spiritual influences but song 2-6 are also pretty hard!! Song 1&8 are Chill/Ambient-songs!!! Best songs are: 1,2,4,5,6! I hope you enjoy this magical trip!! Bom Shankar

It's very various but it isn't all Go!! Song 6 is just percussion with a bassline and nr 4 is pure House (=pure Shit) and nr 7 is more "normal" Trance!!Luckely there are 2 good Ambient songs on it (nr 9 And 10)!! The best tracks from the Goa-songs are: 1,3&8. Bom Shankar

There are 2 absolute killers on it (23d Chromosom (4) and Carpe Noctem (5)), really véry good songs!! Except of that it isn't too good, it's all the same kind of dark trance so after a while it's becoming boring... Bom Shankar!!

Also A very good song is the only ambient song of Phenomenon Anon... What also is interesting is that CD2 is NOT a mix! (Usually it is on Travelling-CD's...) Bom Shankar!

The first 2 songs are not good but after them there are some great songs!!! (Specially 3,5,6,7) Song 10 is also really strange, but very trippy!!! On CD2 we have a mix and like always some songs are partly cut! Luckely the 2 "killers" (nr. 12 And 13) are not mixed very much...!! Bom Shankar

Altough I Don't like nr 1,2&3!!! Starting from nr 4 it is all VERY good!! And specially the track of Etnica, of course Power Source (one of my fav. groups) and also Jaïa!! After this CD they stopped with producing Goa-Vibes, they started to call them "Psychedelic Vibes"!! But all the Goa-Vibes are killers, if you can get them, DO IT NOW!!!! Bom Shankar

CD 1 has some quality songs!! Most of them are well known classics, but thé surprise is without any doubt Psychonauts for me! What an emotional tune! Very acidic and melodic! The second CD has some great songs, but it is a pitty imo, tracks are badly cut (so way too short) !! Anyway, nr; 5,8,9,11,12,14 And 15 are Great!! But it's till a very listenable CD!!

It's a very hard and also pretty dark album; not very much trance-sounds but a stomping bassline that makes human beings crazy!!! Best ongs are 2,3,5,7,8!! That Remix of "Power of Celtic" is even better than the original and "Shiva Devotional" is one of the best songs ever made... Just run to your store, buy this album and... get CRAZY!!!! Bom Shankar
