Ethereal - Anima Mundi album

I praise WHOLE SCENE ! Okay, the scene went diabolical these past years, but WE HAVE TRANCE people ! It happend after many many years of mankind musical development. I am glad that it finally happend, at the time when it was made it was music ahead of its time...now we live in cyber revolution and everything seems plastic...that was the point of cyber, silicon, technology and the rest, to turn and twist all of the natural stuff into big plastic ball...now we have to settle with it and I am for myself slowly applying to it. There are HEAPS of older stuff that you MUST check it out that even at this time when whole scene went mad, you can still enjoy in MANY old or undiscovered albums ( 91-01 ), believe me, there are PLENTY of releases...

PLANET B.E.N. - TRIPPY FUTURE GARDEN 1996 POLYTOX 1. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE 2. SCREWDRIVER 3. QUESTIONMARK 4. SCOTTY'S NAME 5. ANT INVASION 6. TRIPPY FUTURE GARDEN Ben Wierzoh aka Planet B.E.N. made this FANTASTIC album back in 1996 and he had no idea how this would influence generation of old schoolers that for the first time heard first minimalistic maximal goa trance. His structure is so unique and he entirely produced experimental especially MENTAL album. This album is perfect for tripping as the name suggests. No one before or after him continued this tradition of psychotic and smooth goa trance at the same time. I was also sorry cause he at least hasn't made another similar album to this and he switched to minimal trance almost directly with his second one. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE is so cyber, psychotic and demented at the same time. Loads of effects perfectly arranged with insane acid melodies and sharp, rusty bass lines that dominates this track. Almost 11 minutes long journey is brilliantly arranged with huge level of psychedelic involved. Amazing track ! SCREWDRIVER goes slower and it is perfect mellow psychedelic goa track. It's generic structure and hypnotic beat goes on and on and you are swallowed deep inside the track. This track has been released as single and was on various compilations maybe because it is solid and smooth goa track without any psychosis as the rest of the album is. QUESTIONMARK is faster but it is also very hypnotic, psychedelic and rough. It is also released as second big hit from this album cause it captures true goa spirit. Very psychedelic and for trippers for sure. SCOTTY'S NAME continues in slower rhythm, like Screwdriver and it goes so smooth and delicate with acid bulid ups all the way. Great track for meditating purposes on trance. It is very spacey, exploring and travelling. Perfect ! ANT INVASION is simply outrageous ! Loads of deviant sounds and effects also perfectly arranged in 12 minutes long journey through the NETHERWORLDZ of Earth. Many consider this as the best track on the album, but to me is close second, right after the last one...hummmmm...last one.... TRIPPY FUTURE GARDEN is by far the richest, most massive minimalistic structure I have ever heard ! OMG ! This track, 22 minutes long just goes on and on, having amazing hypnotic indian drums floating all the way, in the air, hypnotising you perfectly before incredible enchatingly twisted melody comes in. It has fantastic break in the middle to prepare you for the GRAND FINALE at the end. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. !!! I could swear that he used over 50 channels for this one, it has so much melodies, effects, drum machines and sounds that I even can't imagine how the arrangement of it looked like. One of the best tracks for tripping out hard... This is truly one of the most psychedelic albums of its time. I am really sorry he didn't continue with this truly unique style with his other albums, but if you are a newbie or even old schooler that still doesn't have this album, find it, get it, cause it is essential in everyone's collection...without exaggeration...11/10

I can't name favourite one now since there are many, and Schlabbaduerst is not on the list... But my favourite ones are : Dragonfly Blue Room Flying Rhino Twisted Suntrip Psy Harmonics Trust In Trance ( old ) Phonokol ( old ) TIP ( old ) Matsuri Digital Structures

So, what to hell happend to RA ? I already posted similar topic year ago or something and didn't get any valid reply, so, is there anyone around here that knows any information about this amazing producer ? I read here, on Psynews an interview with him where he said that after To Sirius he was planning to release one trance and one ambient album... What to hell happen to him ? Any information would be appreaciated MUCH.

Finally !

Planet BEN - Screwdriver Technossomy - Pyramid Ushuaya - Ushuaya

Let's not forget Modulation and Meter, please....

You are absolutely right...maybe I will start with some PLATINUM OLDIES too...

This one for sure....but Family Of Light is not far behind it...

Huh, it seemed they are valid reviews then, sorry Rain... So, that means that I can review old albums as well and it would be helpful for someone ? I would have never guessed... I actually lost hope that anyone would be interested in old releases since there is too much music made nowadays....

Heh, I don't think we needed another review of this album cause I assume that almost if not everyone already knows about it...

No, I told you in my first post about him, wild, psychedelic trance with few pinches of full on and lots of metallic melodies. His production is so crisp and precise and mastering is nothing more than BRILLIANT ! Get it !

What what what ? Go and get his BRAIN STRETCHING album NOW ! IT IS DELICIOUS PSYCHEDELIC FULL ON TASTY GEM ! Plus he made one promo before that one called DIGITAL MANIPULATIONS which is not as good as BRAIN STRETCHING but he surely rox !

Why did you vomited upon those artists ? I like half of them ( Sensient, FReq, Sun Control Species, Fractal Gider, Mr Peculiar, Space Tribe, Gus Till/Bus ) plus you forgot one of the best ones: Visitors, Shaolin Wooden Men...

THEY ROCK, and that album is stunning, but if you haven't heard their best yet, IMPLODE, go and get it right now, it is their best for sure... np: Front Line Assembly - Mortal

Yeah, I know, I couldn't find his WHOLE bloody discography cause there is SO MUCH actually ! Naughty, hyper productive producer....
