Review:

 

Thats a nice one.Martin Cooper a well known producer in his third album (maybe

more).Uplifting sounds simple but good and a lot of melodies.Nothing

special.If you still enjoy the sound that goa had 3 years ago, you will like

this album a lot.I best tracks 3, 4, 9.I thing it disserves ...7/10.

[Guest Jax]

Asia 2001 is great! I like this album very much! Best tracks are 2,4,5 And 9. I

give it 9/10.

[Guest Infected Max]

Absolutely un-hearable..

[Guest rox]

bom !

best tracks : 6,8,9

[Guest Dreamer]

I agree with max.. I guess its just a matter of taste. not my type of

psychedelic trance at all..

[Guest chu42f[at]bangor[dot]ac[dot]uk]

Excellent banging goa trance.This is the sound that got many of

us into the stuff in the first place.Perhaps not as sophisticated as some

reacent releases but still highly as effective. Mixes like a motherfucker from

hell!!!

[Guest Infected Max]

Burk..awfull as usually for Asia 2001.

I guess that in 2030 they'll still make 1996 Trance.

[Guest SweTrancer]

This is REAL Goa.. Asia 2001 rocks... 9/10

[Guest Erez]

I must go with Max here, cuz' this is not the kind of goa trance, people

usually clings to. Its very old school trance.

[Guest Marcin]

We think this is a very good cd. This album makes me wanna go to a raveparty.

wow!

[Setsuko]

I agree with Marcin, this is music for the dancefloor. The hard and melodic

style is stuff that makes you want to freak out. Track 2,3,7 and 9 are

killerz. particulary track 7, I heared it on a raveparty in an old castle.

people were screaming it out, the way how goatrance should sound . This isn't

intellectual music, it is partymusic... Buy it ...7,5/10

[Guest tryptomine[at]rdm[dot]ru]

U all guys who said bad about ASIA 2001 is real stupid because its really nice

kEeP tHE muZAk plaYiNg!!

[psyhead]

Excelent! Candy that makes you dandy.

[psyhead]

This is for the dancefloor, no doubt about it. Some nice acid tunes with a

solid beat drives you insane as you dance into the night.. Great goa for

virgins! =)

[Guest Bais]

I agree on Setsuko, he's an old classmate and I think that the cd is a pure

danceclassic, nothing special but pure fun

[Guest st.balam[at]worldmexico[dot]com]

the magical melody trance of martin cooper is emotional. 8/10

[Lemmiwinks]

BEST Asia 2001 album IMO!!! Just to say that I listened recently (writing this

in 2003) Vertige in a morning set at a goa party and it was THE best track

from the whole party!! Yes, it's THAT good!! People were going crazy and

smiling and doing crazy moves. other tracks are very good too 10/10

[Lost Buddha]

some tracks got bad production , but it doesnt mean its bad at all , its good , i used to listen a lot of asia2001 but now this is not his best imo , get psykadelia instead.

[snowball]

one of the best goa albums that i have

tracks ama zone and visitors are fantastic,hell the whole album is fantastic!

 

a masterpiece if i can say so!

"Don't hope too much for something cause you may end up getting it."

Martin Cooper is an uber talented music producer that had as many aliases as Filipe Santos does today. Even the name he used was a f*cking alias. His name's not Martin. It's Gilbert Thevenet. But by far this was his most successful project. 6 albums of goa trance, a best of if you will with Amnesia, and then whatever the f*ck Abduction was. There are certain albums that just stand out and while I think this is a very good one, it's the vibrant artwork that makes me smile.

The first track that hits the sweet spot is Antartica with it's ever changing lead sounds and furious intensity. Full Moon Project follows suit with crazy dancing acid lines and extended twirling opportunities. Visitors is characterized by a screaming 303 while his version of Zeta Reticuli comes off as rather subdued. Fear not because he closes with a screamer in Vertige.

This isn't a layer rich melodic orgasm. Sure there are melodies, but he doesn't stack them one on top of the other as it's made primarily for the dance floor. Some of the tracks have some extended time where nothing new is introduced so for me he loses some points there. I don't believe I'm going out on a limb by saying this isn't a classic, but it is a pretty good goa trance album.
