Guest Ubik Posted January 30, 2000 Posted January 30, 2000 Etnica - Alien Protein Artist: Etnica Title: Alien Protein Label: Blue Room Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. 08'36" Screaming Butterfly 02. 07'48" Chakra Active 8 03. 08'37" Party Droid 04. 08'56" Z Plane Sunrise 05. 08'41" Microdrive 06. 08'43" Starship 101 07. 07'05" Deep East 08. 09'06" Trip Tonite Review: Second Album from Etnica (aka Pleiadians), Alien Protein is excellent. Each track has its own personnality and they are all very good. Screaming Butterfly is a loud track, filled with voices, Party Droid is a fast, pumping track, Z-Plane sunrise is one of the best tracks with a wonderful melody, Starship 101 is also a fast track.The two last tracks are ambient, but great too ! Deep east makes you dream of unknown landscapes, and Trip Tonite has a melancolic melody, a perfect end for the album. My favorites are Starship 101, Trip Tonite and Z-Plane Sunrise. 9/10 Quote
Guest Tequila Posted January 31, 2000 Posted January 31, 2000 My third favorite album after The Gathering and Beyond The Infinite. Impressive melodies, with a greatfull harmony, Alien Protein is to be bought right now! BUY IT NOW!!! each track is different and original, especially the fourth one "Z Plane Sunrise" which is the best track ever made by the group. Quote

Children Posted March 17, 2000 Posted March 17, 2000 Very Good !!! A powerful album, with No Shit and Many Hits :-) My Favourites are Tracks 1,4,5 and 8 ! Listen to the beginning of Track 4 with headphones, the evolution of the sound of the first instrument of this Track is AMAZING !!! Rating : 8/10 Quote
mars Posted March 22, 2000 Posted March 22, 2000 I love this album. When i bought it in 1996 while Etnica wasnt as known as nowadays, it came as a revelation to me. Every track is worth it. Definitely a timeless state of the art album. The only drawback is that it's hard to find now. My favourite: Starship 101. Rating: 9/10 Quote
freak51 Posted March 27, 2000 Posted March 27, 2000 Get it if you can find it, if only for the history lesson on how the few made gorgeous music with such limited technology [admittedly, better than the 1980s but I can hardly believe this record is almost as old as the Web]. Quote
Guest NOW NOT THEN Posted April 20, 2000 Posted April 20, 2000 Yeah its good, although the melodies and the sounds in some of the trax sound a little dated compared to todays releases.... 1996 10/10 now 6/10. Quote
Guest kristan[at]x-treme[dot]gr Posted July 6, 2000 Posted July 6, 2000 Always one of the classix..I cant remember how many times i have danced -explosively- party droid and lost with trip to nite.thnx max,mauru,andreas,carlo..... KRISTAN,Greece Quote
Guest goalover Posted August 21, 2000 Posted August 21, 2000 trip tinite is just the best what can happen in goa Quote
Guest F-AcTivE Posted September 27, 2000 Posted September 27, 2000 I got this album this year .. 2000 ! and i understand if this was great 1996 , but it was boring for me ..right here ..right now , not bad ..and not good , 5/10 Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted November 8, 2000 Posted November 8, 2000 This was my favourite when it came out, now the only song i still listen to is Trip Tonite. Amazing track. They made a new mix of that, too, but its not as good. Deep East is an amazing chill out track, makes you feel like you are smoking a phat hooka with the sheiks in an oasis ddeep east... Quote
Guest Ravemail10 Posted December 8, 2000 Posted December 8, 2000 Oldies but goldies. Harmonious is the way to put it. Diverse, from Starship 101 - this is darkness circa 1996, to Z-Plane Sunrise - AP start taking notes on how to make an uplifting track. Might sound a little old and underproduced at times, but still exceptionally good. I'm not gonna give a rating of what it was in 1996(yes i was there when it happened, starship101 got me into goatrance :-) ) cause noone cares now. 7.5/10 leaning towards 8/10 - Very good but underproduced for today. Oh and btw, DO NOT buy their 3rd album! Under no circumstances! At least read my review first and buy pleiadians instead. Bom! - Raven Quote
Guest stelium[at]infonie[dot]fr Posted March 25, 2001 Posted March 25, 2001 It's an excellent album! favorite tracks: party droid / starship101/ trip tonite BUY IT ¤ rating: +-8/10 Quote
Setsuko Posted April 17, 2001 Posted April 17, 2001 realy nice album, in my opinion the best release of etnica.If you listen to this cd you must know this was a killeralbum in the goascene of '96 .the melodies are quiet mindcrashing. actually I like the whole cd but 'Microdrive' and 'Trip Tonite'are the masterpieces. 7,5/10 and keep on tripping!

Guest Rumz Posted April 26, 2001 Posted April 26, 2001 heh... Cool, I never got this one at the time , but i just found it on vinyl in a 2nd hand record store, wicked album, although it sounds dated...but is this a bad thing?.. NOPE Trip tonite/ starship 101 are the best 7/10 Quote
Guest firgo Posted May 3, 2001 Posted May 3, 2001 wow....what an album...perfection...and its made in 1996! best song is starship 101-one of the best goa trance songs ever made.Etnica/Pleiadians...do it again...for me...please..macedonia loves u.thanx.101/10. Quote
Guest Gozer Posted May 7, 2001 Posted May 7, 2001 Dont listen to the "Good then, bad now" Pundits, Quality trance is timless. And becoming increasingly rare it would seem..... (see the next album for example) Buy it, if you can. Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 23, 2001 Posted May 23, 2001 what's so special about this album being released already in 1996? twisted was released a year earlier and it still kicks some serious butt.. just like this Quote
Guest Spineless Posted June 12, 2001 Posted June 12, 2001 Great melodies but the rhythm is not so fast as I need to get in heaven.One of the best goa albums.9/10 Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 16, 2001 Posted July 16, 2001 This style gives me memories of Israel, this style sounds very Israeli especially the last track ( trip tonite), Israel rules ! PEACE ! Quote
Guest -Shroom- Posted July 26, 2001 Posted July 26, 2001 Masterpiece. Nothing else can definate this album better. 11/10 Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Yes yes, this is great, but why did Etnica change their style through the years to become some shitty minimal psy? 9/10 for this one... 3/10 for the other Etnica releases... Quote
