Children Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 Blue Planet Corporation - Blue Planet Artist: Blue Planet Corporation Title: Blue Planet Label: Flying Rhino Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 07'30" Apex 02. 08'44" Crystal 03. 10'48" Alidade 04. 06'55" Micromega 05. 07'33" Atoll 06. 06'47" Dialect 07. 09'14" Open Sea 08. 06'38" Roma 09. 10'28" Arcana Review: Track 2 is GREAT, Track 6 is Bad, other Tracks are "listenable" ... In fact, the problem is that this Album is more Trance than Goa ... not really psychedelic Tracks :-( If you like Trance, I think you should appreciate this album, but if you're looking for Goa, don't buy it ...

Guest psytrancer Posted January 23, 2000 Share Posted January 23, 2000 Very laid back 'dinner party trance', and almost certainly not psychedelic. Excellent production as you'd expect from the Rhino stable. Mostly Harmless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com Posted February 1, 2000 Share Posted February 1, 2000 Not psychedelic? i found this album mindblowing, its in my top 10 ever!! alidade and open sea are pure genius! and arcana is the best ambient song i have heard in awhile, this is beautiful beautiful music, excellent stuff, 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a_ozi Posted February 25, 2000 Share Posted February 25, 2000 Not really party music, although the middle trax r all around 150bpm... musicians trance... perfect for car stereo... last track is an ambient gem...9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pit-UFO Posted March 3, 2000 Share Posted March 3, 2000 A CD for people who really like techno (not for hard infected goa fans) and used to love old dreamy German trance. The best tracks are MICROMEGA, OPEN SEA, ATOLL and ROMA a really beautiful melancolic tune. The rest is good but not memorable. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AtomikElf Posted March 9, 2000 Share Posted March 9, 2000 ambientish trance, for chilling to. a cd that has good sounds, but far from full-on. very nice, and enjoyable. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted March 31, 2000 Share Posted March 31, 2000 some of the most touching human trance I've heard...up there with Astral, but I agree that its not 'hard core' (they don't claim to be) PLUR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 Excellent textures, mainly in Micromega, Open Sea, Alidade. Shiver me timbers. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dj_avion[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted April 15, 2000 Share Posted April 15, 2000 This is one of the best trance albums ever made. Beautiful melodic morning trance. 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBrucie Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 I love that choo choo train noise that hits every second beat once Alidade gets going : ) Beautiful album imo although perhaps better in small portions. Actually large portions are nice too ...ummmm...... whatever your portion size I would recommend this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pugachev[at]cs.msu[dot]su Posted May 23, 2000 Share Posted May 23, 2000 Well, this is my second all-times favorite after Shpongle. Starting from a beautiful, rich textured psy-trance track, this album gets more sentimental to the middle, and then back to the darker side, from track to track, ending in the best downtempo track I've ever heard. All tracks are wonderful, excellent production, great sounds, spacey strings and melodies. This reminds me of the old Eye-Q times... no cheese, but space. Get it.

Guest clark_303 Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 At first this didn't really sound good at all...It sounded like the arrangement sucked big time but after a few listens it got a lot better and it's actually great and very deep music. All the songs are quite similar except the ambient one but it doesn't really matter, great and unique atmosphere and flawless sound(very well produced). Not really psy-trance but who cares if it sounds great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 This is very light psychedelic trance, so if you like something harder, I suggest you'll skip this one. The songs sound all the same the first times you listen to this cd, but when you start learning the songs, you're in heaven. This is really unique style of psychedelic trance. If you like about every electronic stuff, I recommend this. Crystal is one of the best songs I know, you can also hear it on Pulse 6. RATE: 9/10.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 A masterpiece: Style, substance and rythm!!! Alidade is a CLASSIC!!! Excellent production that will make this cd have a longer life on your stereo. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tim[at]surreal[dot]com Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 This album will take you away to another space and time without the use of any substances - take this CD to a beach under the stars and you WILL have a musical experience unlike any other in your lifetime! This is one of the true pinnacles of electronic music, and I do not say that lightly. If you haven't heard Blue Planet, and you have a tendency to let music carry you on a journey of the mind, you owe it to yourself to buy this CD as soon as you can. 10/10 (11/10 outdoors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marsipan[at]ip[dot]pt Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Wether this is psy trance or not, it really doesn't matter. This album takes you on an incredible mind journey. Excellent production, deep atmospheres, dream, melodic, sometimes darker, sometimes more uplift, but always with an ethereal quality. Yes, listen to it under the stars. :-) 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paddohead Posted September 13, 2000 Share Posted September 13, 2000 really nice chilled out psychedelic sounds, the mushies will like that 9/10 peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikrozomme[at]bgvirtual[dot]zzn[ Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 This is not what I expected indeed.This is pure trance with a psychedelic touch.Unfortunately it's not my cup of tea.I like something harder and full on.Long live Erez!But sometimes some tracks do work for me.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chaffi[at]caramail[dot]com Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 Hey , this album is great ! This is pure trance with powerfull rythms and melodies . It's completly mindblowing , i love the feeling of those old trance tunes , very uplifting and ascensionnal , takes you into a visual , colourful and flowing trip! Alilade is i think the best example of the album , it's very long , the rythm is repetitive but strong , the mix is full of layers everywhere but it's not saturated , everything is mixed into an harmonious way . The mix is so clear that you can still distinguish all the different parts and leads comming up . As the track evolves , you'll notice those flanged sounds undulating slowly and the FXs coming occasionnaly , everything is PERFECT in this track!!!!

Guest Jeff_Sutton[at]Dell[dot]com Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 Being a hard core GOA fan, I was initially disappointed with this disc.. After a couple a listens a couple tracks caught my ear, after a few more listens, DAM!!! This is definitely not psy-trance or goa, but what it is is beautiful trance, not mind blowing, but very intelligently pleasing to listen to. This is in my top 5 for the year 1999, easily. Track 3 and 5 are absolute gems.. brilliantly produced and sculpted.. Any fan of the whole techno genre should appreciate this album. enough said.. 10/10.. #4 for the year 1999...

Guest jonkers[at]phys.rug[dot]nl Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 Very laid back... very right, very fresh, very COOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 Yup, fresh is the right word. The whole album is a journey, starts with slower songs, then gets harder, and finishes on ambient songs. Lots of reverb and vibrating sounds, some of the tracks are hypnothysing. Best tracks Micromega, Atoll and Roma (beatiful melody in this one). Overall 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yoannguerin[at]aol[dot]com Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Probably one of the best albums which i heard. I love the very sophisticated and psychedelic loops. An advice: If you like to dream with trance-ambient, close your eyes, open your ears, and listen ARCANA very loud in your headphone and "have a good trip!"
