psysalsa Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 It WOULD be good if it didn't such stupid samples... first one is some guy talking about Iran... and track 3 has some fucking police scanner recording. Asura your FRENCH don't but in english samples you can't understand!!! lameos... 6/10 for the melodies -.01/10 for the ridiculous samples. I actually LOVE the introduction sample where someone is talking about the islamic revolution in Iran, i'd like to know what does he say, who is talking and in which situation. Can anyone help me please? About the album, it's pretty good indeed, even after all the years passed, the only track i don't like that much is the title track towards the end, when the melody becomes too easy and cheesy (the 1st half is good, in my opinion it gets bad after ~5'). My preferred are 4. Phoenix, followed by 1.Like a Summer Day I suggest to check out also the two Asura tracks appearing on Fahrenheit Project (Part One), they're both good (all the album is damn good). Quote
dunkey Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 song Code Eternity take me into ambient world and after some years i still find it close to perfection. other tracks are great too. my freinds who entirely far from trance, love this album too. Quote
Sawfly Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 The Asura release and an hard to top album in general. 5/5 Quote
Trance2MoveU Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I agree with Jon about a quality blend of ambient and trance on Asura's debut. Much more trancey than Life^2. Throw in the goa touches and there is a lot to like about this album. If I had one gripe I felt the opening two tracks could've shown a little more evolution. You've got a lot of chalkboard to write on when the tracks are over 10 minutes. Other than that the melodies and melancholy went hand in hand like porn and the internet. Mdk Quote
Starkraver Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I don't care what anyone says, for me this is the best album of Asura How I wish they(he) made more albums like this. Quote
abasio Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I always think of this as Ketamine trance, it sounds like trance on Ketamine, exactly the same just slower, more plodding. I love it Quote
Starkraver Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 First two tracks .? yes. There are like those horses whose front and rear feet are tied on side so that they can't run but can only walk around and eat grass. The combo of 3-4-5 is jaw dropping stuff. I can listen to such ambient day, in day out! Too bad , looks like they(he) have forgotten the existence of 303's these days. Quote
abasio Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 His new stuff though is still jaw dropping. Some really excellent cinematic stuff. Radio Universe was fantastic IMO Quote
MrAnarchy Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 This album has a special space in my heart. I have always been that kind of person that empirically interprets all beautiful things through sorrow. And when I listened to this for the first time, from the first minute to last, I wept and wept and wept. It didnt make me sad per se, I just couldnt find another way to cope with what I was hearing. O, my beloved Melancholy! Just listen to that subtle melody in Trinity (my favorite track). Just wow... 10/10 You can get the digital download for very cheap money here and you wont regret it! Its worth a lot more: https://ultimae.bandcamp.com/album/code-eternity Quote
