Menis - Fluff Killer amazing psychedelic madness...

I like music to twist, twirl, play with my brain like a demented machine sucking the grey cells out and spitting them dry on the infinite board of monolith surface. Its psychedelic, mind effect with pitched 303 and 909 makes my blood stream rush and stear my blood in an diabolic way, much more intense than any other musical arrangement. The origin of psychedelic - Bach's psy organ barok madness, very intense deranged feel and evolvement into something absolutely demented and organic. Whole essence of psychedelic is mind bending, mind expanding fantasy world...simply perfect...

I realised I haven't posted anything here. I find this album as one of the better minimal trance albums. I like few of minimal albums but I don't like that boring minimal like 3.Turn, Lando, Krumelur and rest of the shitty stuff. I like MOS - DRIVE, to me the best minimal album after DELTA - SCIZZOEFFECTIVE, followed by SPIRALLIANZ - STEREOPARK. I like also MIDI MILIZ- ANTISTAT, pretty intelligent piece. Stereopark is very precise album, I like the mechanic ( which I generally dislike ) but at the same time it is smooth and with very psychedelic structure of songs. BATTLEJUICE, HIDE AND SEEK, FUSER, PATCHFINDER are great tracks...But in general, minimal is not my favourite genre but it still can drive you on the certain levels...

Huh, there was like 5-6 topics about dark trance, just browse deeper in the files but in case you are lazy here is my list : X-DREAM - RADIO SLIDE - UNSTABLE HALDOLIUM - DEAGUA MIDI MILIZ - ANTISTAT XENOMORPH - QLIPPOTH TRISTAN - AUDIODROME SANDMAN - WITCHKRAFT DELTA - SCIZOEFFECTIVE CHI - A.D. - ANNO DOMINI DARK SOHO - COMBUSTION SPIRALLIANZ - STEREOPARK HUX FLUX - CRYPTIC CRUNCH MENOG - NATURAL BEHAVIOUR PSYCHAOS - CAUSE AND EFFECT ORGANIC NOISE - VACUUM TUBE CYDONIA - IN FEAR OF RED PLANET TIM SCHULDT - SINGLES COLLECTION CHILDREN OF PARADISE - URBAN ALIEN XENOMORPH - CASSANDRA'S NIGHTMARE BATTLE OF THE FUTURE BUDDHAS - DEMONOIZER BATTLE OF THE FUTURE BUDDHAS - TWIN SHARKFINS DISTORTION ORCHESTRA - THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME They are all dark psychedelic classics...

Hehe, I like because you reviewed this album out of respect even though it is already reviewed here. I find this album as one of the best psychedelic goa trance albums of all time. Every single song is brilliant and I can't even separate one from another, they are all top notch cyberdelic melodic hypnotic pieces...Sheer perfection...11/10

Man With Ho Name - Cairo

L.S.G. - RENDEZVOUS IN OUTER SPACE 1995 SUPERSTITION 1. WRONG TIME WRONG PLACE 2. LONELY CASSEOPAYA 3. MY TIME IS YOURS 4. CAN YOU SEE THE YELLOW TURTLES 5. MISS UNDERSTANDING 6. SWEET GRAVITY 7. SWEET GRAVITY 2 8. THE HIDDEN SUN OF VENUS 9. LUNAR ORBIT 10. EVERYTHING IS... 11. ENTER - PARADISE 12. FONTANA 13. REPRISE Here is the debut album by the most popular german trance producer Oliver Lieb. This immense masterpiece developed and presented at the very early age of trance music represents one of the true classics of the genre and its mellow, liquid structures and non stop continuous mix is something Oliver Lieb is very very good at. His emotions are very well recognised and you can cleraly see where it all started and how did things developed in Oliver and what made him make VOLUME 2 which is like a continuation to the story. I like all songs and actually can't name favourite one just because they are all very precise, gentle, and very subtle in their contents. I like because he followed his next album in similar style with different approach and more trancey than this one. This one could be easily called chill disc with some premises of trance. If you like your music trippy, melodic, trancey and ambient this is the perfect album for you. Still, the highlights : WRONG TIME, WRONG PLACE, MY TIME IS YOURS, SWEET GRAVITY, THE HIDDEN SUN OF VENUS, LUNAR ORBIT, ENTER-PARADISE, FONTANA....so, practically all songs too so I have to give straight 10/10 for sure...Get the album if you already haven't, CLEVER LISTENER....10/10

PLANETARY NATION 2005 PLANET B.E.N. RECORDS 1. RINKADINK - LOST LOUNDRY 2. D-TEK - LIQUID INTERFACE 3. TALAMASCA & SCHYZOTROP - ACTION 4. ELECTRIC UNIVERSE - MURPHY'S LAW 5. XEROX & ILLUMINATION - TRIBAL METAL 6. NOMAD - I FANTASY 7. TIM SCHULDT - STAND AND DRIFT 8. PLANET B.E.N. - YOUR OWN REALITY 9. ORGANIC NOISE - FACTOR X 10. X-DREAM - FALL OUT RMX Here is first compilation from Planet B.E.N.'s new label compiled by japanese dj Abe. Here is crazy selection of completely different genres in trance music nowadays. I like some tracks and some I really hate, like ACTION and TRIBAL METAL, two non sense tracks with guitars and they completely ruined this compilation. Rinkadink's track LOST LOUNDRY is crazy and demented and some kind of good. I didn't like their previous work but this seem interesting but still n ot that captivating. LIQUID INTERFACE is good full on actually, not so innovative but not annoying and has driving effect. MURPHY'S LAW is pretty good Electric Universe piece that sounds similar to last album. It is again melodic but it ahs that full on bass line that he surely didn't need. I FANTASY is for me the best on compilation, psychedelic and melodic, new direction from Nomad I see. STAND AND DRIFT is typical Tim Schuldt, dark and energetic, I like it pretty much. It doesn't sound so mechanical as his last piece. YOUR OWN REALITY is pretty good Planet BEN's track and even though it has full on feel I still find it energetic enough to work on parties for example. FACTOR X begins the minimal ending of compilation. It sounds like beginning of some lunacy, the way I like minimal songs, dark and mean. It has crazy ending and you feel like they did turn crazy in the end. FALL OUT RMX is not bad but it is not that inspirative as previous one. All in all, this is strange mix of full on, psychedelic, melodic and minimal, worth for NOMAD, TIM SCHULDT, ORGANIC NOISE, PLANET BEN and ELECTRIC UNIVERSE...7/10

BIOSPHERE - PATASHNIK 1994 APOLLO 1. PHANTASM 2. STARTOUCHER 3. DECRYPTION 4. NOVELTY WAVES 5. PATASHNIK 6. MIR 7. THE SHIELD 8. SETI PROJECT 9. MESTIGOTH 10. BOTANICAL DIMESNIONS 11. CABOOSE 12. EN-TRANCE Here is the second album by this creative norvegian artist. His mucic sounds exactly like from the northern places, calm, steady and chilling. His musical skills are obvious and he is not one of the pioneers that took himself too serious and decided to splash you with immense discography, he rather decided to take it easy and made an album after almost 3 years after first one. This one is quite different than first one cause it is only ambient with 2 trancey tracks. After this album he decided to stay on that ambient track and continue with ambient journeys. First track PHANTASM has nice music but boring repetitive child sample that actually sounds annoying in the end. After that comes more interesting and soothing STARTOUCHER, pretty good, floaty track. DECRYPTION is totally melting with some ethnic influences and calm structure. NOVELTY WAVES is rather faster track with some tribal influences and trance beat, sounds like FSOL at some stages. PATASHNIK is dreamy and very good track. It has nice pads and liquid breakbeat rhythms. MIR is very spacey and trippy. Sounds like it would be good song for 2001 - A Space Odyssey. THE SHIELD is also very spacey, trippy track. It has very clever effects and it is the longest song on the album. I like it a lot. SETI PROJECT is another faster track, with some trancey sounds and effects. It moves some kind of wild but is at the same liquid. MESTIGOTH is very short intermezzo between tracks. BOTANICAL DIMENSIONS is to me one of the best tracks here. Very trippy and smooth and you actually feel like you are in the middle of the forest. CABOOSE has some dub elements and it is generic but rather minimalistic. EN-TRANCE is actually not that entrancing and I could even call it some kind of new age track cause it has guitar followed by some gentle, cozy sounds. Not such a good ending but nevermind, album as a whole is pretty good...8/10

Well, as much as I like dark and twisted and deranged music I like also happy and fluffy but only if it has quality melodies and not pretentious or corny so I can recommend you a lot of quality happy stuff that is absolutely good music : EMUNA - EMUNA ZORBA - ZORBA QUIETMAN - SHHHH ! INDICA - FAIRY TALES YAHEL - FOR THE PEOPLE PASSENGER - FOR ALL MANKIND CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE - TRANCE POWER SOURCE - COSMIC WAVES TERRA FERMA - TURTLE CROSSING SFX - THE UNRELEASED TRACKS 89-94 MAN WITH NO NAME - MOMENT OF TRUTH GREEN HOUSE EFFECT - GLOBAL WARMING PLATIPUS VOL. 3 PLATIPUS VOL. 5 CYBERTRANCE VOL. 4

I agree with you Ormion, completely, but I do find other beats good as well...

Even though it is the person I know in person, I still don't agree with his choice of music these days. He was changing his directions non stop but this new direction into dark, twisted night trance is a bit pompeus. This compilation doesn't interests me a bit, sorry Gil...I liked your previous changings, this is not one of them...

I didn't like the first one so much, there was 3 good trax but the rest sounded same and repetitive. So, I don't care about the new one...

Huh, I think that License To Slink was pretty big hit back then, being released on 3-4 comps... Plus Big Troubles In Outer Space was huge ! I would add : Etnica - Floating Universe Etnica - Chemical Trance Passenger - Reflection MFG - Welcome To The Edge Fractal Glider - Karmic Implications

DARK DOORS - NEW ZOO 2004 SPIRTUAL BEINGS 1. NEW ZOO 2. LOW PRESSURE 3. CHINESE DRUMS 4. PHILLOSOPHER'S STONE 5. ACROBAT 6. PHOTOSYNTHETIC 7. DREAMELL 8. OTHER PLANETNESS 9. RUSH HOUR 10.ULTRA After seeing cover for it which is pretty clever and intelligently done and after I saw tracklisting I thought, huh, here is some new album that actually sounds promising and I don't know anything about it. In fact, it is not that interesting, at least for me cause no matter that I can get into few minimal albums, this is not the one. This is first israeli minimal album I've heard. It has very minimal kick and bass line and few effects thrown here and there. It is basically repetitive album with few tricks and twists. First track NEW ZOO is pretty interesting and it actually goes somewhere. PHILLOSOPHER'S STONE is another interesting one and it has some mind work. ACROBAT is nice but nothing more than that. PHOTOSYNTHETIC is third good track here and it doesn't even have minimal structure but rather psychedelic. So, all in all, this is not such interesting release and I though it might be. I can only give 6/10 if not less cause there aren't any hit songs on it or at least one brilliant one...

I loved this album ! It reminded me a lot on Son Kite - Colours and I simply love this mixture of melodic, progressive and smooth psychedelic structures. The mixing and mastering is brilliant ! Keep up the good work Tegma...My favourite ones are : Modern Movement, Myth Of An Angel, Thunder-Blade, Conciousness, Irrational Impulses...9/10

Good because he didn't change the bassline into his, because it wouldn't be as good as this. But I could clearly hear his melodies he added there ( in case if it is Martin )...Plus, I don't think they are better than originals, almost as good but not better...

I am maniac on the dancefloor. As soon when I enter the club or party I start dancing and can't stop even on chill, at my place or at some other place. I am demented dancer and simply LOVE to dance. There is no better spiritual medium for expressing your passion and energy ( beside sex of course ). I could never understand people listening to this music but not dancing ( sorry Ormion ). Cinos was partially right, dance, no matter if you look like monkey or clown, just be yourself and you will feel great afterwards. And even though that couple looks dreadful, they at least had good times for themselves instead of standing in the corner, drinking drink and trying to be cool...Huh, I hate that at the parties...cool people trying to be as cool as possible so they can score some sex for that night...disgusting...so, DANCING is my thing and I can say that I am pretty good dancer because I dance for almost 11 years now, non stop and not only on weekends but at home too...

Huh, maybe you are right Anoebis, but they surely sound like Asia 2001 remixes because of same sounds and melodic strcutures that are add to it that sounds completely like Martin Cooper's work, but I guess you are right...

I absolutely agree with ukiro...I was doing the same thing, trying to get into the new stuff, bying some releases and then realised that there is no point, so I am also digging up as much as oldies as possible cause before REAL MUSIC was made, now are just derivates and cheap attempts of the old scales and melodies. What were artists doing before was new, fresh, innovative...these days you get bunch of copy/paste disposable music...you listen few times, then it is ready for trash or dust on the pile...

Mystica is NOT nitzhonot ! Would you stop generalising Cinos ? You became slightly boring man...Constant bashing of different things excusing that is a matter of taste...have taste but don't bash, it is so immature... I guess you'll find some 'clever' response to this...Blah...Do you have some good words for some artist that AREN'T Shpongle ? Grow up...agressively at least...make yourself more observing cause like this you can't be taken seriously by any means...

Alien Earth Activity must be the darkest, intense, yet slower fantastic piece of sonic manipulation...That is definetely the best one on album...followed by Pure Intellect and Master Of The Universe....PERFECTION.

Hehe, it is so known about Juno that there is nothing more to add...They are truly unique and one of the pioneers in trance music which means a lot. I still haven't heard their average or bad album, they all rock ! Bare in mind guys that Towelie is still young, he needs more time...

Who dares not to call this classic ? LEMMI ? What is wrong with you ? This is timeless, outrageous classic of all time considering psychadelia. This massive, melodic, dark piece is a must in everyone's collection...11/10 easily...There are very rare releases these days like this, this was way ahead of its time...
