Review:

 

Funky stuff!! This is more progressive trance, and it really has a vibe of it's

own! Global Trance Network is on a roll lately with albums like this one, GMO

and New Age Hippies! Anyway, back to the album at hand. If you'd have to

compare

this with existing psytrance artists, I'd say this is somewhere in the midst of

stuff like Element and Cass & Slide. All tracks here have a good flow, and

there

are no downers on this album. Perhaps only maybe the number 8, which is

essentially just a longer (and somewhat) different version of number 4. But,

this album stands out as a whole. It has a certain vibe as I said before, and

it

keeps running throughout and never fades until the last track ends. It's hard

to

describe these tracks really, so you should really listen to it yourself. And

believe me, it's worth it. I guess it's safe to say when you like Element for

example I think you'll dig this release as well.

So go on. buy it!! In short: Funky, danceable and a great feeling. 8,5/10 for

this one!!

I too really like this CD! It just grooves along like a freight train from

beginning to end, I would think any of the tracks would work great on the

dance floor. The only somewhat weak track is the last one Immagine, it's still

a good track but it's a bit slower than the others, doesn't quite have the

vibe they do. Overall though, this is some real "feel-good, make-you-bounce"

stuff. At times sounds somewhat like Feurerhake/Excess All Areas without the

guitars. BTW, Massimo Santucci is an Italian producer/DJ living in Germany.

8/10. -Larry

this album definitly sound german from gtn.Check stuff like Tarsis ,element,

funf d,Alegria...If you like them you WILL like this.I don't say that it s a

copy but this class of sound really has his place in the trance scene Today I

fancy listening to it because minimal becomes to be boring and to kill my

enjoyment in trance.I dont know very well cass and Slide but now,with the

review of acidhive ,I think I will get more interested in them.

this release is soooo fucking good! it's not quite psychedelic, but who cares

when it's this good. the first three tracks are above average. good

intricate rhythm with prgressive sounds on top. from track 4, it just kicks

ass! both mixes of 2 love, esp. the extended is just phenomenal. inspiration

is also very very good. this is quality progressive trance with psy-trance

influences on the beats and sounds. it just has so much emotion. more like

this please! oh, i agree that the cover sucks:) solid 8.5/10!!
