Review:

 

This cd is what we should call very melodic morning music (I think).

It starts very ambient/chill (track 1-3). Track 4 stops the chill

with powerful beats and strong synth lines. Track 5, 6 And 7 (like the

original better) goes on with that flow, before track 8,9 And 10

calms it down. Good tracks: 3,4,5,6. Bad track: 2.

Rating: 6/10

this CD is not good...but not bad so...It's clear that it's not great goa, but

it's calm and peaceful.The best Track is probably China (to my own) with a

nice voice that does not hurts the melody and the harmony of the music( that's

rare in goatrance!).The problem of this Album is that there are a lot of CDs

that are really better.6/10

A piece of...well, cheese. The worst album I own from what is probably the

worst Israeli act in my opinion. as an Israeli myself I feel an obligation to

be over criticising of local trance. I do, however, adore a large part of it

(infected mushroom - the best, space cat, Sandman etc.) This album is to

melodic and cheesy with sticky "oriental" melodies throughout.It's not my cup

of tea I guess.

I think that this album is ok. 5AM manages to combine guitar really well to

trance. I think this would be a good last track of a party to bring a gentle

touchdown. China is pop, but still very good and nicely different. The rest of

the tracks (I have it on LP, so I don't have track 8 and have part 2 of track

1) are quite similar. They are very melodic and have good variation in the

melodies. Unfortunately, there are very few sounds to further enhance the

atmosphere and what I especially don't like is the 'bum-tsi'-beat that stays

the same all the time and from song to song. I think that despite having a 4/4

kick drum, the beat should offer a bit more. Even the snare-uplifts sound like

they are pasted on top of the rest and don't really fit. The good tracks from

this 'group' are Narnya and Ashes to Ashes. Back to Eden is also quite nice.

Despite the rest (groove etc.) being really bad, the melodies are nice and they

lift the grade to 6/10.

A very bad, very boring album, Its like a collaboration between SCOOTER and

MIRANDA. I really like cheesy trance but this is shitty trance. CHINA its the

only good moment. AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! I'm sick of that PULP FICTION sample,

please some imagination! 2/10

Is this Psy-Trance??? I DON'T THINK SO!!! I can't believe this is released by

BNE and Dragonfly!! Because this is normal Trance with some Psy-Trance

influences!

This album really SUX!! Don't buy it if you wan't real Goa and not this

CHEESE-shit!!! Bom Shankar

It's good, but it's too cheesy after all. When you're listening to it the first

time, it seems ok, but when you've heard it 5 more times, you cant stand it

anymore.

It's too repetitive. In fact it's on the frontier of pzatzot. There are some

good tracks sometimes, so the mark is: 6/10

Please disregard the posts above. This album is actually not bad. It is very

melodic, and isn't cheese, it's an acquired taste. If all you ever listen to

is Infected Mushroom, then when you drop down to a lower level of trance, you

have to re-adjust to the more melodic sounds. Of course this album is less

psy-trance than Infected, Hallucinogen, etc... but it has it's moments just

like every CD out there. Mama Kallu, Ashes To Ashes, and Back To Eden are the

best on this album. If you can listen first, see if you like it before you

buy. 7/10

All those who keep bringing this album down. None of ya could not even in your

dreams create something so melodic as this. I think its a good album and worth

the money i paid for it.

I don't agree with what a lot of people have said about this album. I think it

is a very nice album, melodic and hypnotic at the same time. So, to sum it up,

it is worth the money.

Why are some people so limited in their choice of music...i think this record

is a nice one and its suits some moments in life, and all of you limited

people should open your mind...and be more miscallaneous in you choise of

music...explore diffrent kinds of music in diffrent kinds of situations...

Ashes to ashes is a very powerful track. The use of Pulp fiction sample is

great. And this is the truth as i see it. Cheesy? Depens how NARROW your view

is.

This is an o.k. album except some tracks are just very repetitive but overall

it worth it to hear china, so not a bad purchase if you enjoy different kinds

of trance.

This is good album that has 50-50 melodic quality. Songs AGE OF INNOCENCE PART

1 AND 2, MAMA KALLU, NARNYA, ASHES TO ASHES AND JAMARAQUI RMX are great

melodic songs, but the rest especially CHINA seems like it don't belong on

this album...yes, I know that chinese are least innocence in this age but this

song really don't explain anything.

6/10
