Jon Cocco Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Name of album: Planum - Elaborate Has anyone heard or know about this recently released melodic psytrance album? The same label who released Talpa - The Art of Being Non released this. I was surprised to hear several tracks (melodies) very catchy. (tracks 1, 5, 6, and 10) I really like. They prompted me to post this thread. Samples on psyshop here: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/sud/sud1cd029.html P.S.: I don't find this [as] up there with Talpa, but if I thought it was bad or just "okay" I wouldn't waste my time posting it. I realize just because a label releases one album that's considered great by many doesn't mean another artist will get the same response or popularity. I found this album when searching what other albums were released by "those" who releasaed Talpa, which I consider one of last years TOP albums. Several tracks seem very cool on Planum - Elaborate if you're into more mature (not fluffy) melodies. You decide. Some of it reminds me of the higher-pitched sounds used in Misted Muppet, but in a different style. I felt myself getting hooked about 15 seconds into track 1 called Deep sounds very unique, catchy, and somewhat hypnotic I thought. Then there is this somewhat IM influence in a track or two that made me cringe a bit. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 review here: http://www.psyreviews.com/reviews/nov012005.html personally i'd skip this one but pick up Nystagmus instead -- same label -- much more varied. Planum gets a bit thin IMO as a lot of the tracks rely on the same tricks and sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Woow, the samples sound nice. I sure have to put this on my wantlist, but it doesn't sound as good as Nystagmus (imho, of course and just judging from the samples). Thanks for showing me!

amphiton Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I can't say it's worse than Nystagmus, because Nystagmus uses the same tricks'n'sounds throught his album too =] Planum is a very mature musician I'd say... it may sound too similar but it took me like 5 listens to fully appreciate his album. If you are looking for interesting, more experimental and emotional psytrance - take a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Does this style have a name yet? There certainly are enough artists making this vaguely Infected derivative stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
