Guest ArchNemesis Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 Number 1, 3, 4 are the best on this album. I love Talamascas new style. very GMS. And thats not bad. Oh no, not bad at all. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPosture Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Yeah... This has been getting a lot of playing time in my cd-players in y2k ... This is actually quite simple, but it sure does the trick for me! Stand-outs for me are "The Hunter Becomes The Hunted" and "Telepathic Atmospheres" ... Brilliant album that sticks to the basics of psychedelic trance. 7.3/10 Bom shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Acidhive Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Typical 3D Vision psychedelica here, and it rocks! Talamasca has done a great job here. All tracks are pretty straight-forward Psy-Trance and really kicking! I especially like that track ' The Flow', made together with Christof Drouillet. Really great Sci-Fi samples and swirling acid sounds. Put a kicking beat below and some dark bass... MMmmm tastes great! A solid 8/10 from me here. No bad tracks IMO!

Guest slinker Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Solid hard driving fantastic Dark Psytrance...Perfectly suited to the clubs and fat headphone crews!! great use of the 303 sound in some tracks good build ups and soaring basslines...mmm im glad i didnt pass this one up! 9/10 =^,^= Kickin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidtolsn Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 HORRIBLE samples... and worst of all, they are way overused. it's hard to find 10 seconds on this whole cd that doesn't have a (usually bad) sample inserted somewhere. other than that the music is good... but for me the samples get in the way and make it really hard to get in to.

Guest simon magus Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 This is good. Y'know, even though it is simple in the sense of musical construction, you are listening to it the wrong way if that is a problem for you. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is one of his simplest works, but his most beautiful. If you are at the point where you don't like the psychedelic trance sound anymore, start going to house clubs, for god's sake. This is nice to listen to. Period. I want to dance when I hear it. Don't burn your self out, and keep your 'beginner's mind' and get into this album. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ecstasymfl[at]bol.com[dot]br Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 i think this is not as good as the elder talamasca, it seems very minimal, with a hard beat and acid sounds...it's really poisoning the tracks. The best track is telepatic atmosphere with that great etno voices, real goa. But the cd is real bad comparating with musics like "Believe" or "Talafrica" from their oldest musics. I think they should try to make musics like believe stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mescalinium Posted May 6, 2001 Share Posted May 6, 2001 Whoever said this cd is somewhere between minimal and melodic is right on. The sound is definately in a happy medium between the two. Songs often start out with a minimal beat/bassline and then the melody comes in 3 to 4 mins. into the track. Lots of twisted fx and samples are used. Normally I like a lot of samples, but a couple of the songs here manage to use a bit too much for me. Still, I definately dig the overall vibe in this one. The tracks are all pretty dark, but the melodies are always there to balance things out. I personally love You are the Machines and The Hunted Becomes the Hunter. Everybody here seems to like the female voice sample on Telepathic Atmospheres. Maybe I'm too old school, but this sample was ripped directly from Union Jack's classic Two Full Moons and a Trout which is off one of my favorite albums of all time (There Will Be No Armageddon). Although, speaking of stealing samples, Zerotonine took the "acid theater" sample off Beyond the Mask in their new single of the same name. Oh well. In any case, this is a great album that manages to incorporate the best elements of both minimal and melodic trance. Despite the fact that the song structures are all mostly the same, this is still a quality piece of work. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cocco Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 This is so good! "The Hunter Becomes the Hunted... Yes!!!!!!!!!!" Hell yeah!!! That and so much more. There is an incredibly break in Halloween where the song shifts from dark psy into darkly infectious Goa climax. incredible! Highlights include: The Hunter (!), Wake Up, Drops Of Madness, Telepathic Atmosphere (!), You Are The Machines Great album!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest progresser Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 this is outdated , fluffy and cheesy shit, This one is for u goa cock headz !!! 2/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisdeeACiD Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 Gotta re-Review this one... Very nice album.. Great beats, rythm, sounds and melodies.. I totally agree with "wthomassen@planet.nl" above here somewhere.. It's pretty much the same thing in through out. Same percussions and those dark sounds in the backgroung which makes it sound a little "goa" It works to certain point but after a while.. well.. It seems they're out of inspiration or something so they just use the same tricks over and over again. But of course there are some reeeaaal highlights here. Favs are Drops of Madness, The hunter becomes the Hunter and not to forget Telepathic Atmospheres. Allthough this album CERTAiNLY works perfect on the dansfloor with it's speed and "smoothness" sort of speaking =} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mossadexz[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 "Talamasca - Sinaï" which is on DG8 cd1 Track01, is by far the best track ever made by Talamasca. Listen to it again, just for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skyhouse[at]bolt[dot]com Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Telepatic Atmospheres: thanx for bringing this wonderful female singing from Union Jacks's "Two Full Moons & A Trout" to the awareness of so many new people. Spread the beauty and love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest truthserum[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 This production IS one of the few center pieces for Psychedelic Trance. It has integrity, flow, intent, and clear detail to sound development. Like skyhouse above, I think that its brillant to mix in the "Bulgarian State Womens Choir."

Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 If you call someone a cockhead for loving GOA trance, you should go to another web site and wallow in your own misery. This CD kicks. Talamasca is the shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Protex Midget Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 It sounds to me like, GMS, Absolum and Nomad all got into the studio on a dark stormy night, and this CD is what they came up with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rx7style Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 Track 5 is absolutely killer. The rest of the album is a little too dark for me, but Talamasca has good rhythm, and great skill. If only more of his tracks were similar to Strangers... wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest :GoA|ScreaM: Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 just bought this fucking cd , and iv got to say - its damn ownz !!! i have no words , he rewkz ! wonderful album , amazing ... 11/10 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cummas Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Great debut album...excellent bassline and dark nasty sounds. Track 1 is a dancefllor killer, as is track 3 and 5. Not a bad song on this album. Tracj 6 is the best IMO - excellent in every aspect, and very well produced album in general. Buy it now! Looking forward to the next one!!!

Guest kadafi Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 'Now I'm warning you: It's going to be a wild ride. Don't pass out, no matter what happens!!!' Nice release from the 3DVisionlab! Talamaska's use of melody is subtile and they build up their works just perfectly. Most trax indeed have a simple predictable build-up but this sounds just fine to me! My favorites are the Drops of Madness RMX (this is a real dancefloorkiller: the stress is put on the bassline but then this melody comes up with a filtered kick kindof like a reward for the patient waiting)...and...'Wake up' has a cool PERCUSSION part in the middle!!! I also like track 1 & 9 very much (9 being the most uplifting one on this alb!) 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the dank man Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Too melodic for me, except for You Are the Machines. Ehh, I'll give it another try tomorrow. Percussions balance out hte dryness, but the melodic shit is too annoying right this evening, somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the dank man Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Okay, see, I knew I had to listen to it again to like it. Very good stuff, although definitely more melodic. But full of energy. Not as annoying as crap like AP, or CaliSunshine. "Halloween" track is too melodic though. As for the rest, pretty good stuff. Favorites: 1,4,7 -- for the more minimalist style; #8,9 are more old school melodic goa. Love track 5 for its spacey, light energy and originality -- but again, it gets too annoying in the middle with the fricking melodies. If they just stuck to the style, it'd be great! The melodies spoil everything a little bit on this CD, kill the energy -- they are cheesy melodies in the Astral Projection style -- yuck. Overall: 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
