Guest gizmo Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 this is one of the best ambientalbums in my collection I have. When I've listened to it I couldn't believe that this guys could produce this wonderful experience. 100% original prduction, full of relaxing melodic compositions. I can hear this music & feel it. Definetly 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be dissapointed if you put your ears on it for the first time . The tracks appear in a smooth and groovy manner but they seem to be a bit too repetetive and, how to say, in a way not very outstanding...but it really works, although the album is not mixed and every song stands for its own, an intense flow is created. Starting with the soft and calm daydream the music tends towards a more deeper, almost "antidotal " atmosphere until it speeds up and shakes you in track 7 with a rough d&b-like beat and finally leads you to the last track which gives the trip a cheesy-funky ending. Considering melodies every track is a little earcatcher and the tunes are nice and are kept in the background in a positive way. Almost every track is accompanied by breaked beats without experiments to be started, the time is mostly moderate. I rate 7/10 although I personally like more weird ambient. To sum it up, don't expect groaning didges, mystic chants and indian pipes but a groovy, thought through and mind-lifting journey. Ambient Trip is moving relaxation not L.S.D.

Trance2MoveU Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Xploring. Inner. Space. Yeah...more like exploring the backs of my eyelids. This is a dated downtempo compilation that is high on repetition and weirdness, but lacks any sufficient panache. It's one of those where the music feels longer than it actually is and not one track stands above the rest. Well, I liked Sun Walker. The beat was hypnotic; clearly that one was made to nod your head. There are some slight goa touches, but they seem thrown in rather than a feature. Makes sense of course, look at the year it was made. Average stuff. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
