Good Album ! I don't think there's any Bad Track here and my favourite is Track 2 ... however I think the sound in general isn't original enough to make this album a very interesting one ... it could have been better ... that's well built, but with no genuine ideas ... Rating : 7/10

Good Album ! I don't think there's any Bad Track here (even if I don't like Track 3 that much), and my favourites are Tracks 7 And particularly 5 ! On this Track you feel that so particular Ofer style And the influence of Tandu experience ! Rating : 7/10

Pretty good album ! But not as good as "We Created Our Own Happiness" in my opinion ... someone said above it was minimalist stuff ... certainly NOT !!! That's less melodious than their 2 previous CDs, but very psychedelic And various ! Best Tracks are Tracks 1 And particularly 7, and I don't think there's any Bad Track (hum maybe Tracks 5&8 which are quite monotonous)... funny thing in this album : each transition between Tracks sounds like if you were searching for a new radio channel by scanning the frequencies on your radio :-) Rating : 6.5/10

Pretty good Album ! First of all I have to say that I didn't like GMS that much before seeing Ricktam Live in Paris ... indeed this set completely changed my point of view about their style and made me decide to find their albums ! And now I have a much better knowledge of psytrance than 6 months ago, so I understand non-melodic styles much better ! That's a very good style (very psychedelic) to dance on parties, less good to listen to at home ... I don't think there's any Bad Track and my favourite here is undoubtedly Track 5 ... for X-Dreamer : I think you have to listen to it very carefully before giving it a precise rating ... but maybe you've not already seen them on a party, which could make you understand their style better ... one bad point : Tracks 5&6 have exactly the same drums And bassline ... Rating : 6.5/10

GOOD album ! Yes this style is quite similar to the one of X-Dream, so I think it shows the quality of this album ... I don't think there's any Bad Track but don't really have favourites here ... Rating : 7/10

Hum ... I don't like this CD ... there's nearly no melodies here (just drums And bass) and it's kinda repetitive And minimalist ... nothing to compare to X-Dream stuff ... very disappointed after having read the reviews above ... Talamasca "Beyond The Mask" is MUCH BETTER dark stuff than this one in my opinion ... in fact I don't think I should compare both CDs ... for me this one is more minimalist than dark (and I don't like minimalist stuff) ... Rating : 2.5/10

Pretty Good album, but the problem with this one is that there's too many guitars not used in a good way in my opinion ... nevertheless I don't think there's any Bad Track (even if Tracks 2&9 are really average) and my favourite are Tracks 8 And by far 1 ! Rating : 6/10

GOOD album ! Best Tracks here are Tracks 3&7, Track 5 is not that good but not too Bad (just too monotonous for me) ... I think this CD is the best one from X-Dream ! Rating : 7.5/10

Very Good !!! All Tracks are at least good (maybe except Track 5) and my favourites are Tracks 7,8 And particularly 3 ! All these Tracks are quite similar, but all are psychedelic quality :-) I'd like to precise this album hasn't been made by Dino And Avi only, ALL Tracks have been made by Avi Algranati with another artist, Dino Psaras on Track 1, Joti Sidhu on Tracks 2,4,6, Riktam on Track 8, Olli Wisdom on Track 9, Nick Barber on Track 7, Max Lanfranconi on Track 3 and the Phreaky team on Track 5 (Avi, Dino, Marco Goren And Ofer Dikovsky) ... I don't have the names but simply Avi, Joti, Ricktam, Dino, Olli, Nick And Max written ... so I suppose that's the names above ... I think you've understood why this album is so good after reading these names :-) I'd also like to say that it (obviously after reading the artists names) sounds like sthing between Space Cat, GMS, Psychaos And Tandu, not sthing between MFG And Astral Projection for example, so that's not the kind of Israeli psytrance you could have supposed by reading the reviews above, that's much more psychedelic (as psychedelic as old Psychaos or GMS stuff) than melodic ! Rating : 8/10

How did he build so many great tracks (with nearly all the ones in Twisted) in such an early period (1995) !!! These 2 Tracks are very good ! But my favourite here is Space Pussy (cause it's a longer Track) :-) Rating : 9/10

GOOD Album ! But that?s not a very good one, cause some melodies here sound a little too cheesy ... My favourites are Tracks 1&8 and the only one Track I don?t like is Track 6 (and Track 9 is too short for an ambient Track)... I think Track 8 was the beginning of the Infected Mushroom style in Erez mind ;-) Rating : 7/10

Pretty good album ... it?s darker than Erez work under Shidapu ... but generally Tracks aren?t awesome ... my favourites are 4,6 and particularly 5, and I don?t like Tracks 1(too short), 2,7&8 that much ... Rating : 6/10

V/A - Future Psychedelia Artist: Various Title: Future Psychedelia Label: Psychic Deli Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. 07'10" Shakta : Indra's Net 02. 07'34" Subcouds : Subclouds 03. 08'19" Nervasystem : Terraform 04. 08'29" Mindfield : Ten Years After 05. 08'04" OOOD : Cthulu 06. 07'08" Denshi Danshi : Temple Of Heaven 07. 05'30" Semsis : Electric Sun 08. 07'13" Manmademan : The Great Site 09. 06'58" Space Dimension : Rise Rameses 10. 06'29" Eco : UFOlk Review: Not a bad comp, with 2 good Tracks 6&particularly 1, but other Tracks, even if they generally have pretty good melodies, are too common to be really good ... I don't really like Track 10 ... Rating : 4.5/10

V/A - Air-Born Artist: Various Title: Air-Born Label: Flying Rhino Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 07'27" The Manipulators : Biological Manipulation 02. 06'51" Process And Tristan : Dealing With Demons 03. 09'15" Blue Planet Corporation : Cyclothymic 04. 08'16" Slinky Wizard : The Wizard (Koxbox Rmx) 05. 07'03" Stripper : Not Now I've A Plane To Catch 06. 08'20" Syb Unity Nettwerk : Morphogenesis 07. 08'07" Darshan : Transformations 08. 07'10" Psychaos : Dense Dawn 09. 07'08" Process : Beyond The Internal Horizon 10. 09'53" Slinky Wizard : License To Slink (The James Bond Theme) Review: Well most of the Tracks here aren't very melodious, I don't like Tracks 6&9 and my favourites are Tracks 3,5,7 And BY FAR 8 ! Rating : 4/10

GOOD Album ! First of all BEWARE of the reviews above : that?s NOT very melodic at all ! That?s a DARK album ! To describe this style better I would say each Track is built with bass,drums,strange noises And vocals (VERY WELL THOUGHT vocals like in Tracks 1&6) ... all these sounds create a particular (& voluntarily repetitive to make you feel the ambience around you) dark atmosphere ... THEN the melodies come ! But there are not as melodies as you can have heard on old Talamasca Tracks ! That?s DARK melodies too ! The first part of the album is less melodious than the second one (maybe except for Track 1) ... You should listen to this album with headphones, cause you would be missing something ! Tracks use stereo very well and the ambience is even darker like this ! I don?t think there are any bad Tracks (even if Tracks 3,4,5 aren?t awesome), and you?ll love this album if you like dark atmospheres ... my favourites are Tracks 1,7,9 And particularly 6 ! In fact that?s the Tracks DJ Lestat played in his Live ! BUT when I heard this live in the party I found it boring ! That?s because the heavy BOUM BOUM at the party KILLED this album ! Cause I personally didn?t hear half of the sounds of these Tracks ! I found the Live boring, but this CD is NOT boring ! The closer album I know in the same style is Diablo : Insufficient Memory, but the Talamasca album is less melodious, with more strange noises (like we currently know them very well in Europe, whereas Diablo is a little more Israeli-oriented) and drums And ambience sounds are played louder than bass (the opposite than in Diablo album) ... and I think this Talamasca album is BETTER than the Diablo one ! But if you don?t like dark style you won?t like this album ... that?s more an album made to listen to than dance on (because of its darkness) ... Rating : 7/10

I don?t think this album is a Bad one, BUT I also think that?s the worst one from Etnica, because absolutely not the same style and I prefer the style of their 2 first albums ... However you can easily hear their talent in most of the Tracks ... Anyway, there are 5 Tracks I don?t really like : Tracks 2,3,6,7,9 (really don?t like Track 2) ... my favourite is BY FAR Track 5, but Tracks 1&8 are pretty good too ... the problem with Track 8 is that it uses the same Independance Day sample as Release Me in The Gathering album ... so I always find its use on this Track quite strange ... Rating : 4,5/10

GOOD Album ! But I prefer Alien Protein ... this style is less psychedelic, more peaceful :-) My favourites are Tracks 4,5 and particularly 7 ! There's no Bad Track here (maybe except Track 1) ... Rating : 7/10

GOOD Album ! The best one from Future Prophecy in my opinion ! There are no Bad Tracks, and my favourites are Tracks 2,8 And particularly Track 4, by far the best one here ! ! ! Rating : 7.5/10

VERY GOOD Album !The best one from Cosmosis for sure ! I don?t think there?s any Bad Track here and my favourites are Tracks 5&7 ! Just a little bad point : Tracks 3&9 use a same background sample ... Rating : 8/10

GOOD Album ! But not as good as Cosmology ... I don?t think there?s any Bad Tracks (maybe except Track 1) and have 2 favourites : Tracks 4&5 ! As good as Intergalactic, in a different style (more complicated And psychedelic) ! Rating : 7/10

Out Of Phase - Alien Zoo Artist: Out Of Phase Title: Alien Zoo Label: Flying Scotman Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 12'41" Dilithium 02. 08'02" Lunar Lander 03. 09'43" Alien Zoo 04. 11'48" Silicon Pulse 05. 10'24" Fiona's Hope 06. 09'45" Consciousness Of The Infinite 07. 10'08" Caterpillar Review: As you probably know I don't like ambient that much ... BUT this album is very pleasant to listen to, and Tracks are looong, which is very important for me in ambient :-) I think every ambient lover should like this one ... I don't think there's any Bad Track here ... Rating : 6/10

Joking Sphinx - A La Recherche De La Banane Pyramide Artist: Joking Sphinx Title: A La Recherche De La Banane Pyramide Label: POF Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 09'52" Préparatifs Et Départ 02. 07'02" Les Montagnes De Mackarel 03. 03'56" Dans La Forêt De Moukaouane Zolbi 04. 07'47" Le Grand Méchant Loup 05. 08'51" Course Poursuite 06. 06'51" Refuge Cannibale 07. 03'40" Marmite Et Court Bouillon 08. 08'54" Kapouttage 09. 08'52" Conquête De La Banane Pyramide 10. 01'54" Fais-Le Yourself Review: GOOD Album ! That's oldschool psytrance, very psychedelic And melodic ! However there are 3 Bad Tracks (cause too short) : Tracks 3,7,10 ... my favourites are Tracks 5&6 ! Rating : 7/10

Bodh Gaya - Ayahuasca Artist: Bodh Gaya Title: Ayahuasca Label: High Society Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 10'11" Ani Shinan 02. 08'23" The Spirits Arrive 03. 08'12" Flight Beyond Milky Way 04. 07'15" Catharsis Of Body And Soul 05. 08'20" Im Rachen Des Jaguars 06. 09'45" Inside The Anaconda 07. 06'51" Shono Der Weltenbaum 08. 06'48" Return Of The Soul 09. 09'58" Natema Review: I can't believe it !!! AWESOME !!!!!! This album contains MANY tribal sounds and is fantastic ! I really love this style :-) I don't see any Bad Tracks here and have 4 favourites : Tracks 3,4,6 and particularly 5 ! Track 1 is chill-out, other Tracks are very psychedelic And melodic, but that's NOT israeli style ! Melodies never go wrong And are very trippy, and tribal sounds are sometimes strange, but don't ruin the Tracks at all :-) I even think that's better in this way cause this album really gives you the impression you're in a party in the jungle :-) You should listen to it in its entirety, as a journey, to have more happiness ! BEWARE : that's a VERY original album, so listen to it before buying it (in case of you don't like tribal sounds at all), but I really don't know how you could think it's a bad release :-) Rating : 8.5/10

Sibilant - Proper Filth Artist: Sibilant Title: Proper Filth Label: Symbiosis Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 07'10" It's A Nappy 02. 07'23" Blitch 03. 07'00" Fartgaz Investigator 04. 07'20" Dodgy Salesman 05. 06'22" Zoobubbles 06. 07'07" Noisefarm 07. 05'50" Mick My Nose 08. 07'26" Mind The Step 09. 06'58" Please Come In But Wipe Your Fest 10. 08'08" Screecher Creature Review: Well I don't like it that much ... not melodic at all, but with many different noises ... a style between classic minimal stuff And Double Dragon style ... but less interesting than Double Dragon in my opinion ... Rating : 2.5/10

Guy Sebbag And Gal Carmy - In Trance Artist: Guy Sebbag And Gal Carmy Title: In Trance Label: Papaya Date: 1995 Track listing: 01. 12'21" The Golden Way 02. 08'17" Over Seas 03. 06'50" Sorceress Fete 04. 06'50" Kashmir 05. 07'50" Velvet Button 06. 07'50" Winner Riff 07. 07'28" Vacuum Planet 08. 13'48" Guadloop (Golden Way Ambient Mix) Review: Pretty Good album ... A mix between Israeli psytrance (Guy Sebbag was a member of Aban Don, with Avi Nissim from Astral Projection, in 1994) and melodies style like old Total Eclipse stuff on some Tracks (like end of Tracks 4&5) ... The problem is that, even if there's only one Bad Track (Track 8), melodies are not very original ... My favourites are Tracks 2&5 ! Rating : 6/10
