Guest Baboon Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 OOOD - A Live Artist: OOOD Title: A Live Label: Cabbaged Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 08'33" Cobra 02. 07'53" Karmic Suture 03. 07'58" Cthullu 04. 07'04" Cosmic Ripple 05. 07'25" Herbs And Spices 06. 08'30" Silence 07. 09'48" Two Dawns Over Baleswar 08. 09'52" Kundalini 09. 06'46" Rifa Review: Pretty ok album from OOOD, not really my kind of style... It's very oldschool Goa and very melodic tracks, so for You who's kind of new to this music, maybe you should check it out... otherwise, nothing relly special in my opinion. 6/10. Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 if it sounds old school, its because it is... it was released in '96, and at the time they were cutting edge ;-) i reckon they still sound good today as well :-) Quote
Guest omri Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 kick ass album, was released long time ago and i only got it on a tape. one of the best things which were released those days. really really worth it if u find it a real old-school and rare piece! hunt it! Quote
Guest squidbyte Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 wicked!! i won't over-analyze the details but nonetheless this is a FUN album! luckily i have most of these songs on vinyl, as the cd is rare and the only mp3s floating around are 96kbps (wtf??).. i don't think their newer album is up to par with their old stuff in terms of creativity but i have high hopes for their future projects! c'mon OOOD amaze us like you used to!

implant Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 Uh...when i heard "silence" for the first time...on "The Definition Of Goa" back then in 1996 (or was it 1997?) it was a killer track....so OOOD is very special band for me...)) Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted March 15, 2001 Posted March 15, 2001 TOTALLY EXCELLENT. BETTER THAN A LOT OF RECENT RELEASES Quote
Jeff Posted June 12, 2001 Posted June 12, 2001 I'm not used to saying this kind of word, but the production sucks big time here ! I bought it because I loved the Silence version on Travelling 1 : the song loses all of its uplifting power here !! Very disappointing... Cthulhu, Cosmic Ripple and Herbs and Spices would sound pretty great with a better sound for sure. 1/10 for the sound quality, 8/10 for the composition of these 4 tracks. Quote
Jeff Posted June 12, 2001 Posted June 12, 2001 Sorry, I TOTALLY fucked up !!! I wrote the above review whereas I hadn't listened to the album for more than a year, what a mistake !! It sounds great, I don't know where I found the production problem, it's nonsense. Compared to all the minimal stuff you find nowadays, it's so refreshing to listen to so good old school tracks. 8/10 for the whole album, definitively ! Quote

khogg Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 I can't get into this at all which surprised me because I was impressed by their other album Breathing Space. Alive on the other hand is hard to listen to. It's full of screachy squealy nintendo style ear-splitting sounds layered at break neck pace over what would otherwise be an allright song. I've listened to it a few times now and nothing really stands out. To be fair this may appeal to those of you who like harsher sounds in music. None the less, I can not recommend this to anyone. Get a copy of Breathing Space instead. Quote
Tatsu Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 what a great cd! it's full of melodic old school goa with lots of bleeps and twistind sounds. can't get enough of it! best track is 4 cosmic ripple. the second part of it really blows me away... Quote
Guest dbrekken[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted April 6, 2002 Posted April 6, 2002 I appoligize to OOOD for not speaking up sooner as ive had cd for over a year. This is an amazing must have old school goa album. I bawled my brains out in joy to many of these tracks. Thank you OOOD for beeping me so deep! What a gift of sound. Quote
Guest RumZ Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 This is a great old album. ahhh back in the day...... Quote
Trance2MoveU Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Another great taste of nostalgia! This is very good goa trance with the supreme track being Cosmic Ripple IMHO. But it is all good. This isn't 4 on the floor power trance with hi-hats blazing, it's more complex with different rhythms but still chock full of that delicious goa sound. Tasty! Mdk Quote

Trance2MoveU Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Artist: Oood Title: Alive Label: Self Released Date: December, 2008 01 :: Cobra (8:33) 02 :: Karmic Suture (7:53) 03 :: Cthulu (7:58) 04 :: Cosmic Ripple (7:04) 05 :: Herbs & Spices (7:25) 06 :: Silence (8:30) 07 :: Two Dawns Over Baleshwar (9:48) 08 :: Kundalini (9:52) 09 :: Rifa (6:46) Quite a Christmas gift wouldn't you say? The original masterpiece was released back in the golden days of 1997 on Cabbaged Records, but in 2008 Colin and Ektoplazm were proud to re-release this classic in digital format. Flac, wav, mp3...whatever. All the tracks were recorded live at various parties and put together on one album. And what an album it was. This is their crowning achievement in goa trance and one of the absolute classics of the genre. The only template you'll find here is no template. You couldn't find a full-on bass line with a CSI team. It's organic and evolving wielding 303 madness all along the way. From Cthulu to Two Dawns over Baleshwar it is a flowing morass of oscillating synths and stacked melodies that build tension and threaten to explode. I used to dislike Kundalini, but in the early morning darkness as dawn was approaching I finally got it and let it wash over me. Not the best track (that goes to the psychedelic monster Cosmic Ripple), but it fits right into the theme of this album. My least favorite is Rifa which requires speed, ecstasy, and a dancefloor that slopes downward just to keep up. But even that one and its blazing pace demand respect. Thanks to Colin and Basilisk for making this happen. Too often the greats of the genre go unappreciated because the CD's are so hard to come by so you have to make do with iffy download quality. I hope one day that other classics will find their way to this site so we can enjoy them the way they were meant to be heard.Free at EktoplazmMdk Quote
