Review:

 

Pumping minimal psychedelic trance, in the very best style! Lots of percussion,

really wicked spacy sounds in all tracks. You have to hear the album a few

times, before it grows on you, but Zerotonine has really developed their sound

into a much more complex depth and with beautiful minimal baselines, it will

amaze you if you really listen carefully. Try taking the whole album for a

trip, it's very nice and very psychedelic. I recommend it to everyone, except

people who love the old goa sound. This is a true masterpiece from the german

duo. You're missing out a great album, if you liked their previous tracks, and

haven't got this yet. 8/10

[Guest Epic Automata]

I like the old goa sound and I enjoyed this album too. Then again, I suspect

it's not everybody's bag. It's very dark in an almost sinister sort of way and

pretty minimal in my opinion. After listening to it a few times carefully they

manage to throw in some really catchy sounds - the kind you have to rewind

over and over to get them out of your system. Very original. 7.5/10

I wish my testicles would enlarge and then explode on a projected space of

infinite anal beam time. ahoy-hoy space bung-hole trippers! the messiah has

cum!

[Guest happy yet no hippy]

Does that mean that you like the album? ] I think it's ok, but nothing too

special. It's time that someone comes along and says fuck to the existing

little rules in psytranceland, or -galaxy if you may. And releases something

that's truly innovative... I think Jebus would call it a messiah.

oh yeah....this is good. this is real good. track 4 is an absolute killer.

8.5/10

[Guest Dazze]

This is really a killer album! Minimal for sure, but its got something extra

that many minimal acts don't have. Dosen't feel really THAT minimal to me,

still got a little melodie line here and there... superb! 9/10 - one o my

favorites this year

[Guest wouter]

It's not minimal!!! It's dark pumping psytrance filled with sounds! Excellent

release! 8/10

[Guest aaronarmstrong[at]telstra[dot]co]

[Guest ivan.nowodworsky[at]aventis[dot]]

One of the best album of this year ...........

UndergroundShaman

[Guest eckan]

one of the better albums this year.. I agree.. Track number 3 is my favorite...

NOSTROMO

[Guest Nois[at]techmedia.poznan[dot]pl]

mmm... I like minimal/progressive sound, but I found this album a bit boring. I

mean, each track is good, but nothing more, and the whole album... it will put

you asleep in 30 minutes. the dark entries track on iboga was a lot better

than all tracks on this cd. 7/10.

[Guest [Anonymous]]

this is a nice album with many goood psychedelic sounds but it's not what i

prefer.

listen to it is you like minimal trance ..

[Guest AMP]

Quite nice album, not as minimal as there first releases, but definetely a

worth sound to have in your collection.

[Guest AFFECTED GUMS]

this is defenitly good....so good

[Guest dernuk]

very dark from the beggining, I'd say it didn't bore me like the rest of

uplifting psycho-agressive-albums, at least this one have bizarre atmospheres

and i keep this album like a goa-dark album. one of the very uniques pieces

of art 8.5/10

[Guest Ankh4noid[at]spray[dot]se]

This album and it´s tracks are great for build up-useage at underground

parties. They create a nice atmosphere...

[Guest mikko[at]hybrid[dot]fi]

Wow.. this album have so nice sound! Very fresh and non boring. I think this

can not be rated as minimal because there are unique, complex and exiting

sounds everywhere! or something like that.

best tracks 2 and 4.

8.9/10

[Guest DJ_MinD_BloW[at]hotmail[dot]com]

[Guest Xymaths]

Its allright, kind of a cross between Bitmonix,Yumade and Deviant Species. Not

exactly dancefloor killer stuff but probably Ok with a spliff on Sunday

morning.

[Guest transphere]

Haven't bought this one yet, but I surely intend to do so since I just love

Zerotonine and his wonderful minimal psy-style =P

[Guest Defbydelta...]

This is IT!!! cant be better!

like it from topp to the bottom!

lovely psy tunes and hard dark minimal full on at its best full score from me!!

[Guest bazooko circus]

if u like minimal this one is highly recommended. favs are titanium cluster and

moneypenny. 8.5/10

[Guest Acidhive]

Pumping & dark... that's the story here. These guys produce it really well if

you're into this sort of thing. An as regular readers / writers here know, I

am into this sort of thing, so ... Anyway, it all has a nice deep space creepy

kind of feel about it. Remember those movies like Event Horizon, Alien (and

it's successors) that kind of feeling is what I get when listening to this.

Meanwhile the dark, hammering kickdrum, and the swirling noises and humming

bassloop take you there (or not). They do it for me anyway, and I'd like to

give this a solid 8,5/10

Prokyon, Medusa's Breath... listen to those for the atmosphere this creates.

Really good!!
