Radical Distortion rocks but Mendark? :blink:

In case you didn't know this guy used to write ultra Nitzhonot cheesy bullshit like all the other awful Greek ''artists'' like Star Children, Cherouvim, Darma etc.

Let's hope his new tracks will be REAL Goa or Psy, not cheese!!! :angry:

Thank you all for the post and the comments,

 

i think is clear from the release info that has not connection with nitzonot trance....if not sorry for the misunderstanding

 

but thank you Ormion for the question as maybe other people might have the same query with you...

 

and now appear the chance for clarification

 

Mendark might remembers in some people nitzonot but now has different music directions in his productions far away from his old nitzonot style, don't judge someone from his past but from how he moves in the future,

 

In this release we are talking for an oldschool goa and melodic psychedelic from both projects.

 

We have demos for listening and everyone can preview if this release fits in their taste,

 

worths a try,

 

below we post some more info

Release info:

----------------------------------------

Radical Distortion whose members are John Spanos & Nick Polytaridis from Greece, create a new sound, totally influenced by old school goa trance, which brings back great memories.

Their first release in Apsara compilation from Suntrip Records got wicked feedback and they put their inspiration for making some energetic goa sounds into this release too.

Mendark is Nick Miamis from Greece, known also from his chilled project Side Liner (Cosmicleaf records) . Mendark has created a new sound, influenced by goa trance and full on and together with Radical Distortion they bring the purple energy to the dance floors.

From the hallucinogenic “equilibrium” to the kicking “3 on a tree” in collaboration with Sunhize from Greece, crossing over to the goa full on of “Purple Energy” this is a diverse collection of sounds and moods.

If you are searching for old school goa tracks and great dancefloor tracks ….then this release is here to keep you satisfied!

A new review comment,

 

..."In 2005 there has been several Goa releases allready.

Comparing this to for instance Khetzal would not be fair,

this is much more dancefloor oriented stuff. Overall I think

it's a pretty damn strong collection of oldschool tracks,and a

coupple of them are brilliant.."

reviewed by Tigo

http://www.psychedelicplanet.com/reviewPurple_Energy.php

========================================

 

Purple Energy: indicates spiritual thoughts. Purple is never a strong point in the Aura. It appears only as temporary "clouds" and "flames", indicating truly spiritual thoughts. But this time I got a whole CD full of musical fuel to drive my spiritual thoughts far longer than ever before.

 

Mendark and Radical Distortion has created great basis for a very powerful experience by this album. As the first tones fills up the air around me, I can almost feel my aura stretching out as my body feasts on the psychedelic energy coming towards me in full range from my speakers. Soon I gain so much energy that I can't stand still anymore. My feet start to move around while nodding my head to the rhythm as it starts slowly and takes more and more effect, closing my eyes to focus fully on every millisecond of the wild music. The deep, deep tones moving slowly, like faithful rocks forming a solid ground, while multilayer fillings supporting the melodies in the most intelligent way.

 

The effectfull sounds and technical details are overwhelming when filling every tiny bit of time out. As I enjoy the music, holding out my hands in the air I can almost feel how the energy are coming at me in soft waveform. Touching the excited air with my fingertips, feeling my aura expand even more, and more, and more, ending out filling the room in an intense way of purple energy so powerful that I now must see it for my self.

 

Slowly I open my eyes while focusing by my third eye, still feeling so relaxed in my eyes as if they were a sleep, I now clearly see the air like a sea of purple water. The baseline, pumping so intense that thick wave's flush around and the clear thin melodies trickles in the corners of the room, like little fountains contributing to the very complexity of the wave surface.

 

I can stand here for hours, enjoying myself and these fresh waves of music, made in Greece by great and skilled artists. I can imagine what impact it will be to join a party on such great music, beeing surrounded by fellow species, full of joy and full of love, dancing for several hours, having only this instant purpose in life; to feel every spilt second of the present.

 

I now deeply understand the purpose of the cover art, showing how cubes of this purple energy is stored like frozen water in ice cubes. The energy is for you to use, as you please and the best of it is; that afterwards there is absolutely no dripping to clean up in contrast to the melted ice ;-). Pure purple energy, totally absorbable - enjoy.

Whowww! I haven't read all the content of this message. Astral Projection will present the "Open Society" album in Athens on 5/5/06!!!! What a shame: I'm living in France at that period! Sh**! Everytime Astral Projection go to Greece, they never are in Athens on July or August, when I'm back to my mother country!!

I'm frustrated :angry::angry:

 

And furthermore, I will never see the presentation of "Regenesis" album of my compatriots, Radical Distortion!! I have very but very appreciated "Purple Energy"!! IMO, a new genre of goa/psytrance was born with this unique album.

Sometimes, it's hard to live far from the mother country!! :(

Can someone give me some infos about the "Regenesis" album from Radical Distortion? Do you know maybe the release date for this upcoming album? I have really appreciated the "Purple Enery" album vs Mendark, a definitely pure neo goa stuff IMO, and I can't wait for this new stuff. The guys who will be at the Athens gig on 5 may with Astral Projection playing the fresh new "Open Society" LP, are lucky! B)
