Yeah, this would be the gem ! I woke up today and found out 2 GREAT NEWS ! I am so pleased for the rest of the day...heheh...I believe you Anoebis and I can't imagine this guys dissapointing us...Hope for the best too..

Huh ! I truly hope that is going to be as hard as before. I've heard Christophe playing 2 years ago and he was playing some stuff that so much reminded on Transwave just with new sounds and better production. At some point I was sure that it was Transwave but since I know all of their stuff and this was new, I hoped that this might be something at least similar. But when I heard Dado playing he had dark dj set with few melodies, so I don't know what to think. I am sure that it will be some kind of full on considering label they are producing for, but 3D Vision always made intelligent full on without BS. I hope for the best...

I haven't heard the tracks but if it is Cydonia - April Fools then I do think Tim Schuldt played guitar there cause they collaborated on 2 Cydonia songs, Mindhunter and I think this one...

Damn, I still miss that wonderful Sandman album Witchkraft ! I long for that masterpiece for years now ! X - Dream used to make great music until they went down the drain. And even it is only my taste, you have to admit that nothing new they made can't remotely be compared to BRAIN FOREST and PANIC IN PARADISE, their best songs they made. Of course, I have to add OUR OWN HAPPINESS too... I hope that this revival of the old sound from this year will continue next year and years after.

Well, no wonder you didn't like LSG cause Black Album as the title suggest is pretty dark and even though it is dark, I still like it, but his better albums were the ones I suggested you, before Black Album. He was using more melodies on previous ones but he also has singles he released before albums and that I find as his best trance worx : HEARTS, BLUEPRINT, FRAGILE...They are real classics of trance genre. We'll stay in touch...

No, I don't think they pressed exactly 100 copies but I think I've heard there were 300-500 which is nothing considering how GREAT that albums is. I was just figuratively speaking about rarities and how fucked we are 10 years later if we can't find an album we so much want. Then, downloading makes sense if you can't buy that album. I would buy immediately that album cause I love it so much. And yes Nemo, you are a lucky bastard... Not even for that record but I am sure for hundreds more considering how much music you've got. People around me call me Rich man with my collection of around 1000 records. When you mention yours over 3000 I was feeling like a little baby... I don't have more releases from that label by now but I am sure they released great stuff...Cheers

His recent releases weren't SO interesting. His album THE HIVE is not bad but it has nothing to do with old LSG sounds and melodies. I also find Oliver Lieb as one of the best trance producers, especially from Germany. His remix to Hallucinogen - LSD was just nice but nothing grounbreaking...

No, I am not downloading from Internet this stuff, only rarities, old singles, old albums example Boris Blenn - Paradise Connection, that was pressed in 100 or so copies. I was collecting this music and have 2 DJ friends that has this stuff...

BIOSPHERE - MICROGRAVITY 1992 APOLLO 1. MICROGRAVITY 2. BABY SATELLITE 3. TRANQULLIZER 4. THE FAIRY TALE 5. CLOUDWALKER II 6. CHROMOSPHERE 7. CYGNUS-A 8. BABY INTERPHASE 9. BIOSPHERE Here is the first album by famous Norvegian ambient artist - Biosphere. You all know already about this artist and I had to review this good ambient trance/house album. This is his first album and for the year when it was made I can say that is great album. He is focused on science fiction and he puts a lot of samples from Science Fiction movies. His ambient housey structures with trance sounds and effects are pretty effective here. There is specific solidness with this album and it is done also as some kind of journey. I like all songs here too but my favourite ones are : TRANQULLIZER, THE FAIRY TALE, CLOUDWALKER II, CYGNUS-A, BIOSPHERE...9/10

SPICELAB - A DAY ON OUR PLANET 1995 HARTHOUSE 1. FALLING 18:00 2. WE GOT SPICE 19:15 3. A DAY ON OUR PLANET 17:50 4. PLANET SPICE 16:20 Here is one of the best Oliver Lieb's ambient trance albums he ever released. This long, precise journey reaches higher levels of sophistication. Every sound is on its place and this guy really knows how to make MUSIC. This is pretty spacey, trippy release. He has long driving melodies and harmonies followed by hypnotic pads and some faster parts of meditation in space. Just when you think you are about to get completely relaxed he surprises you with deep kick and there you go, you are out in space. Pretty clever structures makes this one of the best releases from 1995. Everyone should get this just because it is classic. Every single song on this album is masterpiece...STUNNING...10/10

Hehe, I knew you'd like it if you're looking for an melodic release. When I was listening to that album I couldn't help myself thinking that this might be the best melodic trance album ever, just because of endless using of melodies and stretching them into infinity. His second album though is not that melodic but funny and with better production. Turtle Crossing is among most serious albums I've ever heard. I am glad you finally found it and enjoyed it. I actually can't see any other quality album in this style but I can reccomend you Cygnus X - Hypermetrical which is not that good of course but it is old melodic release, Spicelab - A Day On Our Planet is ambient trance album and one of the better ambient trance albums I've heard. Every song ( there are 4 songs only ) are very well thought 15-20 minutes long journeys with lot of variations inside the tracks where you feel like you've been listening to 2-3 different songs in one...Get that for sure, it is fenomenal album...There is Oliver Lieb another good project LSG where he made 2 pretty good trancey/technoey/housey albums but with melodies and experimental structures...Rendez-Vous In Outer Space and Volume 2. Now, I don't know whether you like freestyle trance but those 2 albums are A MUST for collection. If you can find what I reccomended you, COME BACK FOR MORE...

Hehe, how can California Sunshine be by any means minimal ? Yes, they don't have hundreds of layers but they certainly don't sound minimal. Whole their structure sounds maximal but when you are producing you can hear how many layers they might have been using but doesn't sound minimal at all...I would call Planet BEN minimal goa...guy has minimal strucutured bass line and drum machine but his songs are filled with oriental melodies and sounds. His song TRIPPY FUTURE GARDEN is the best example and the best MINIMAL GOA TRACK ever...

There are lot of Goa subgenres even though they have all the same spirtual feelings : Acid Goa Trance ( Cosmosis, Green Nuns, Etnica, Prana, Pleiadians, Chakra ), Psychedelic Goa ( Hallucinogen, The Infinity Project, Koxbox, X-Dream, Technossomy, Slinky Wizard, Darshan ) but Melodic Goa Trance is the best ( Transwave, Total Eclipse, Psychaos, MFG, Astral Projection, Dimension 5, Indoor, Chi-A.D, Doof, Asia 2001, Blue Planet Corporation, Man With No Name, Electric Universe ). So, basically, I like every group from the best trance era : 93-99. Those years were musically most mature and I like practically everything from then.

Here is my definite list since it is end of the year : JUNO REACTOR - LABYRINTH TALPA - THE ART OF BEING NON SPACE CAT - MECHANICAL DREAM WIZZY NOISE - STEREO ELECTRIC SYN SUN - SYMPHONIC ADVENTURES ELECTRIC UNIVERSE - COSMIC EXPERIMENT SURIA - LOGICAL EVOLUTION MIRACULIX - THE ARRIVAL PROMETHEUS - ROBOT.O.CHAN. HUMAN BLUE - ELECTROLUX ASTRIX - ARTCORE AES DANA - MEMORY SHELL H.U.V.A. NETWORK - DISTANCES I still haven't heard YPSILON 5 and FILTERIA album and since they are mostly goa trance, I am sure they would be my favourite ones...Can't wait to get them!

Lemmi, you are so funny giving grades for different occasion example : This album is 9/10 when listening in car after party and 6/10 when listening to at night...Don't you find it silly ? If you are giving grades give some objective point about the album, not it sounds like this in the night, and like this in the morning. It is childish and I accepted you as some kind of serious trance listener. I am just suggesting cause it sounds silly defining things and grading non stop. Don't get me wrong, I am not shitting on you, just that sometimes you tend to too much define stuff...Cheers

I've heard Glories Of Greece and it is dreadful with that sirtaki Zorba The Greek melody ! It just sounds so childish in here even though I love original. I don't know about the rest of the album and I know it won't be that bad cause I liked their first one and second one wasn't bad so, in any case GMS crew are hyperproductive and that thing is not always good.

I am sure it is Witchkarft - Whale cause I don't know any other song with that name from Goa Trance. Is there nice, gentle melody with whale sounds at the end ? If it is, then it is Witchkraft.

Saafi Brothers - Mystic Cigarettes The Infinity Project - Mystical Experiences Mystery Of The Yeti 1 & 2 Eclipse - Journey In Permanence And Impermanence Kumharas - Shiva Space Technology Ambient Life Is... - Hom-Mega Ambient Compilation Maybe you have all what I suggested but those were the only ones I could recommend considering your wish...

@Journey Man : Could you tell me exactly when did they give you bad trips ? I can smell BS from your immature sentence and since you're only bashing the group I cannot even take you seriously... @Cinos : This album sounds BLAND ? Do you even understand the basic terminology or you just wanted to sound clever ? Blah ! This world is full of 'wise' cretenous people. You can be clever with your mom, but not here, on GLOBAL Trance site where THIS ALBUM is considered as ONE OF THE BETTER ALBUMS ever and you only heard it yesterday...What kind of trancer you are where you heard THIS album just yesterday after all of us SUGGESTED you to hear it ? I can understand the taste but you actually ASKED us to EXPLAIN to you why are the tracks so bland, noisy and random, where 95 % of us DON'T EVEN FIND THEM BAD as you presented. What looney brain you've got !

And you should feel lonely then...I have no other comments except to find new ears and remove these ones. I won't put any smiley here...You are way to negative Cinos, not only from this thread but in general...

Yeah, I forgot Trashish, how could I ? It is one of the best use of guitar. I also forgot Electric Universe - Meteor, Electric Universe - Moonchild, Infected Mushroom - Release Me, and some other, but overall, I don't like using guitar in trance. The worst guitar track must be SUN Project - 380 Volt...Disgusting !

Front Line Assembly - Evil Playground ( Tim Schuldt Rmx ) The Delta - As A Child I Could Walk On The Ceiling UX - Life Support Technology Cydonia - Mind Hunter Slide - Unstable

I also go back in past and forward into future. I quite like those two that blend together cause it gives specific sense of multiple experience. And I like fusion between present ideas of the future combined with ancient sounds and tribal beats. Cyber Ancient Visons Of Tomorrow. But these days, there aren't music that goes into ancient, old times but rather further into the future.

Maybe he is refering to the specific ultra melodic quite cheesy genre in trance music called Nitzhonot. It is certain Israeli way over the top melodic trance made mostly by kids or for kids. It depends...I have heard few nice trax, rest suxxx...so, I don't know, it might be that if he was refering to trance music.

CPU is not bad. It is typical french 3D Vision like psy full on with lots of squelches as mentioned and some funny melodies. I actually find it funny music. His live was pretty psychedelic.
