Lemmiwinks Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 heheh I must say that the cover makes me horny Now on to the music... well like always Entheogenic borrows heavily from Shpongle (hell you can even hear the Shpongle trademark distorted Terence McKenna samples here and there...). But I still like their style. And of course this isn't really Entheogenic, it's a remix album, of which a LOT work is one by OTT which I absolutley love! fave tracks: Timeless ESP (remix and original), Pagan Dream Machine and Greound Luminosity. Although as others here said, this album lacks in innovation, that's why I'm giving it "only" a 7/10 anyway, I definatley don't understand how this album was rated so high on the psynews best of 2005 list... there is a shitload of better albums out there IMO (starting with Shpongle...).

For me it's even below average :S Quote
Shaft Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Now on to the music... well like always Entheogenic borrows heavily from Shpongle (hell you can even hear the Shpongle trademark distorted Terence McKenna samples here and there...). But I still like their style. And of course this isn't really Entheogenic, it's a remix album, of which a LOT work is one by OTT which I absolutley love! 451743[/snapback] Yet I find they are much more ambient than Shpongle, and have their own style. I really like this album, great remixes by Ott (he seems to have the Midas touch on his remixes), and Vibrasphere - really looking forward to their downtempo album which should be released later this year. Also the new tracks are great, with the exception of Without Thought - don't really like this one. Quote

sherlockalien Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 ott´s remixes are the main attraction here... youth is nice too.. the rest is so-so... Quote
ericflyer Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I still think this to be the best chill album for this year, but of course not everybody can have the same opinion. . 342719[/snapback] Yup... Quote
SkeletonMan Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I liked this album from the outset and it continues to be one of my favorite chill-out albums. It's said to resemble Shpongle and even if I can appreciate the comparison, I think there is one major difference. Shpongle's never quitting flutes don't loom around here! But first and foremost what I love about DOTS is the amount of ideas Entheogenic and their remixers have cramped into the tracks. You can tell it's hours and hours in front of the speakers and the result are blissful ambient soundscapes. Add to this exemplary vox use. And that comes from a person who's usually not too keen on vox in chill-out. Quote
lunary Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Its a real great summer travel album. Had it with me everywhere, people generally liked it a lot wherever I played it. I guess it has something to please everybody. Quote
ecstasio Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Highly listenable album. Great work from all the artists featured. Tops my 2005 chill list. 9/10 Quote
yerg Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Absolutely nothing new in this album. The only remixer that baked the best cake was SHULMAN. Every other track sounds sweet like candy but again nothing new. Remix by Abakus was very out of place IMO. Generally the sound is of high quality, lots of deatils but definitely a pop-charter. "Without thought" was awesome so as remixes from OTT. But Shulman... Quote
whirlpool Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Without thought is a wicked track, different from the rest, shows Entheogenics potential to glory. :posford: That Abakus remix is fun to dance to, I guess it took some courage to get that one on the album though Quote
