Chris Organic - The Shaman

I have put first THE THIRD SPACE in the title but had to check one more time before I post it, so I saw on one site translated The Third Area, so that it's why I put it...Argh !

KA SOL CHI-A.D. CYDONIA NOCTURNAL ( SCHLAB ) ZOOBOREAL ( SCHLAB ) BATTLE OF THE FUTURE BUDDHAS BLUE PLANET CORPORATION HALLUCINOGEN TRANSWAVE L.S.G. FLUKE SPEEDY J PLASTIKMAN HARDFLOOR EARTH NATION SYNAESTHESIA BIOSPHERE

Ummmm, I say with old school trance and psychedelic trance with few new albums could make solid 300 platinum releases, of which I have heard, but if I count even the ones I still don't own but know they are good, I could say that it could get up to 500 for sure, if not even more...maybe ukiro or Nemo could say the exact number.

I have been listening a lot lately all of their albums, and I am still amazed by their unique style, artistically combining different styles, constantly morphing but always remaining true to themselves. They have very good skills and musical arrangements, even minimalistic they still have many layers and surprises all around. Andreas Kruger and Ralf Uhrlandt are for sure very talented musicians and that brought them to sign for Sven Vath brilliant label HARTHOUSE. They started earlier, back in 1993 but only released few singles before first MENTAL MODULATOR in 1994. This musical perfection immediately made them popular among underground trance scene and this album is so concrete, brilliantly crafted and focused that I am still amazed by the arrangements they did back then. Their second one WELLENBAD, released in 1996 went more tribal and psychedelic and it is also among the best electronic albums ever. After a while, they released their third SPACEGLIDER at the end of 1998 which entirely made them as cult trance act. This three albums alltogether make some kind of trilogy considering space travelling ideas and trips. I haven't heard their album DISTANZ but I suspect they stayed true to themselves. They needed another 3 years to make next album, KLUBRAUM which is pretty good but far from their style. They minimised their sound even more and did a house approach. While you can still hear their old sounds and effects, the whole idea got rather flat, but they do succeed to nevertheless entertain you in their own manner. I still haven't heard their new album, from last year DER KLEINE KORG UND DAS ECHO, but I have read somewhere pretty good reviews and of course, I expect them for not entirely blewing up the whole thing. DISCOGRAPHY : 1994 - Mental Modulator 1996 - Wellenbad 1998 - Spaceglider 2000 - Distanz 2003 - Klubraum 2005 - Der Kleine Korg Und Das Echo What do you guys think ?
