Guest Ubik Posted January 30, 2000 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tequila Posted January 31, 2000 Share 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.

Children Posted March 17, 2000 Share 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 !!!

mars Posted March 22, 2000 Share 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.

freak51 Posted March 27, 2000 Share 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].

Guest NOW NOT THEN Posted April 20, 2000 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest F-AcTivE Posted September 27, 2000 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted November 8, 2000 Share 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...

Guest Ravemail10 Posted December 8, 2000 Share 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.

Setsuko Posted April 17, 2001 Share 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 Gozer Posted May 7, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 23, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spineless Posted June 12, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmiwinks Posted July 30, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
