Review:

 

This album is good...Strong kicks, good melodies and long tracks...good. But,

this is really classic.You really can guess what's coming next in this album

and that a shame-especially when it's so during the whole CD-.Best

track:Moonart.Bad Track: Pathfinder (avoid it!!) 6.5/10

[Guest rough and Rush]

Classic goa stlye with those long melodic intros (not cheesy) with long build

ups. deft morning stuff or building up. Kinda same style as dimension 5, not

bangy like a lot of trance being released today

[Guest cloeken[at]hotmail[dot]com]

This CD only contain three good tracks: 2,4 and 6 but

these track alone is worth to buy this CD (The Flame Of

Eternal Life is GREAT!)

[Anoebis]

Mediocre CD, some good and some bad tracks, just as the guy above mentioned,

there are 3 good tracks on it, but none of them is awesome!! I really don't

get it, CHi-a.d. makes so fucking good music on compilations (Exit Eternity,

Celestial, Eye Am The I => One of the best Goa-songs EVER...)!! But on his own

albums he never has that kind of Goa-Trance and that's a pitty because I love

it more than what there is on this CD!! Bom Shankar

[draeke]

in my opinion the album is great and you have to get the whole messages from it.

"I have been there..."

[freak51]

Very, very solidly planted in the upper atmosphere. This is my cup of tea.

Gorgeous voice effects. A bit samey sounding towards the end, but not

annoyingly so. Yummy laconic housey voice in Pathfinder. It could be about 5

BPM faster, but that's a niggling quibbly detail. Get it.

[Guest Psylent Buddhi]

I can't really understand why so many people are "dizzing" this album. It is by

far the best stuff Chi-ad. has produced so far! I mean, just listen to the

title track "Anno Domini", it's so intelligent and so beautiful! And

"Pathfinder" is definitely not as bad as everyone says! It's more percussive,

but still his usual, beautiful and hypnotic style! The only bad track is the

last one "Redivider". But this is a definite recommendation, to everyone that

still enjoys melodic, indian-influenced goa-trance!

Thats weird because Pathfinder is my favourite tune on this. Ah well, one mans

biscuit is another mans potato. Or something like that

[Guest lemon[at]mail.bip[dot]net]

ebruce, I agree fully. Pathfinder rocks, it's really hypnotic. This album is

darker and more tribal than Chi-Ad's previous stuff.

This album is very good. Try listening to for example Anno Domini, Pathfinder,

The Flame of Eternal Life, just to mention a few, while trying to releax or

sleep. Hopefully you'll discover the deep peacefull mood created by all the

diffrent layers. I agree that this album is a little more tribal than the

previous Chi-Ad releases. It's so filled with life and soul due to all the

diffrent sounds and layers. I think you really have to _listen_ to this album

to fully understand and appreciate the tunes. I hope you try since it's a

wonderfull experience.

I think this album is fantastic. Here is what it is and here is why... First

of, all the tracks are very long. They don't super peak but they do have

peaks. The tracks are not stompers. They are more like artforms. Very

beautiful melodies with a lot of meditterenean influence. The beat is

normally 144bpm but the melodic influence and the overall atmosphere that this

Cd creates is very peaceful and very emotional. Each time you listen to this

CD you get a newer perspective on the sounds and on the overall feel it tries

to create. If you expect something explosive with tweaky sounds left and

right, don't get this. If you want something emotionally and intellectually

experimental then this is it.

8.5/10

[Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com]

great stuff! 9/10... not dark and stormy, great melodies, good atmospheres...

pathfinder is my favorite!! its crazy and stomping and takes me somewhere...

as do most of the songs on here, thats missing on a lot of CDs nowadays, this

is good ol GOA (if u remember what that is) trance, and it will take u places

definately worth the buy

[Guest Brasil Psychedelic]

Big shit.I think it´s a big,big shit!

[Guest phase2]

my opinion 8/10.

very nice , different stmospheric trance! Some of the tracks are solid 10/10's,

but there are a few kind of

noisy and disharmonious tracks that spoil the overall magical atmosphere. I

have recorded this onto MD, and deleted two of the middle tracks...and it is

fucking

EXCELLENT this way. It is definately quality work, and worth the buy....

[Guest Goa Sage]

This album IS pure shit (in my humble opinion of course)! I'm

annoyed every time I listen to it. It feels like I want to throw the disc

against the wall or something. Not a single decent track. Some of the melodies

are nice, but totally ruined by the foggy atmosphere. Everything is so calm

and boring. I love Ambient, so I'm used to chilled out vibes, but this is just

so lame! Bad production, awful sounds and no real bass punch! I'm afraid this

is one of my worst record investments ever. Some of you seem to like it,

however... I just can't understand why... Sorry.

[Guest Baboon]

don´t really understand you guys who don´t like this album ?? It´s for sure one

of my favourites and this dark hard style is what the music shall be on the

floor I think, nice to dance to, and... Pathfinder ??? HOW can you not like

this one ??? =))) best ones are Pathfinder and Myopic Utopia !!!! rate: 9/10!

/baboon =o)

[Guest mikrozomme[at]bgvirtual[dot]zzn[]

Hmmmm...Sometimes I like this album,especially in the superb morning hours.But

I find it very boring and repetitive.This is made in average speed that annoys

me as well."Eye Am The Eye" does a lot more for me.5/10

[Guest Pretty__poison[at]hotmail[dot]co]

O.K. Eye Am The Eye is great but Moonart is ,I think even greater. You just

want to hear this again and again. I mean I want to hear this over and over

again.

1 is O.K., 2, 2 and the rest except no 4 offcourse is Good.

7/10

[Guest FelipeLysergicProBrasil]

This is a strange trance. I really don´t liked this album...if you listen to

artists like infected mush,darksoho,yumade,domestic,little blue man,para

sense, don´t buy this. Faster,please...

[vOrTeXdReAm]

I used to hate it, but nowadays I kind of like it. The best tracks are "Anno

Domini", "Shadow Spirit", "Myopic Utopia" and "Moonart". Calm beat, ethnic

melodies and a dreamy atmosphere. Not perfect, but still good.

[Guest None]

This album is good, but as one of the guys said Chi-A.D. can do better. it gets

7/10 from me.

Anno Domini, Pathfinder and The Flame of Eternal Life roxx.

 

And i don't understand why all people write "Eye am the Eye", it's "Eye am the

I" nothing else, by the way it is one of the best Goa-singles in history.

[Guest jonkers[at]phys.rug[dot]nl]

This is a true masterpiece! The first 2 are very melancholic, it sends chivers

up and down my spine.

The third kicks ass! Definetely not a waste of money.

[Guest Ravemail10]

This is close-your-eyes-and-float-away music. Not full on at all, but then who

says everything must be full on? Not downtempo(yet) but chilly. This is what

"Enigma" would sound like if he was making psytrance. And that's not a bad

thing! 7.5/10 Because it's good but there is still room for improvement. Bom

Shankar! - Raven

[Guest MasterGoa]

Good allaround music. Great stereo effects, good beats

and lots of imagination. Pathfinder is really good

with a soultry sexy voice sending shivers down your

spine as your listen. 8/10
