Review:

 

A very good CD from Oforia!! Really 10 times better as the second one!! This CD

is full on party music!! And it has everything, hard basslines, metallic

sounds and great melodies,... I think song 5 is the best but other véry good

songs are 3,4,7&8!! This is a piece of plastic that every Goa-lover should

own!!! Bom Shankar

I do not really agree with you guys...For me, Delirious is really disappointing

compared to what made Ofer before, I'm particulary thinking about Multimoods

wich is excellent.No, no, even if we see that Ofer is skilled in making goa, I

still find that this album is a great deception.OK, it remains Ofer so it's

NOT BAD but nothing more...not bad, that's all.6/10

This album is pretty good, but I prefer Pigs in Space and Multimoods. As

always, this album has lots of energy, and the typical metallic sounds used by

Ofer. 6/10

Good Album ! I don't think there's any Bad Track here (even if I don't like

Track 3 that much), and my favourites are Tracks 7 And particularly 5 ! On

this Track you feel that so particular Ofer style And the influence of Tandu

experience ! Rating : 7/10

Incredible! As one above said,this is a soundwork-temple of fatness. Just

listen to the bass on Compulsive Dance and your booty will shake as well.

Oforia/Tandu/Pigs in Space is just what I appreciate to spend my "cd-budget"

on. Mind-altering,psychogroove from probably the greatest flurosound-designer

in Israel.

I am so sad.......I dunno where I can find Indoor here in Norway. This is

exactly the reason why I want to leave this cold country. I heard that this cd

is great;old but innovative. People claim that my hero Ofer and Avi invented

the morning style with this piece.

What can I say, this is it. Mr. Dikovski did it again. This is the style I was

looking for in my life. The pumping beats just let you stand up and dance. The

atmosphere of this release is quiet futuristic, the filters on the melodies

are massive. If you are looking for hard, progressive and tribal goatrance

then you should try listening to this one. There isn't any boring stuff on

this release. I give this album a psychedelic rating of 8,5/10.

Keep your innerselves trance-formed!

Less minimal than Pigs in Space. I particularly like Outer Conception and Why

not on Mars ? The rest of the songs is okay, not brilliant. 7/10

Amazing album from Ofer! - I haven't heard any of his other "new" projects

(Tandu, Pigs In Space) - But this cd sure takes me to hell, and backwards!

Very weird atmosphere in these songs... Ofer must be one of the most talented

guys in the psytrance scene!! - 8.5/10

This allbum is simply brilliant. The album that got me into the full-on sound.

Relentless basslines and great melodies that flutter in and out at just the

right moments. Ofer is one of my all-time favorites. My favorite tracks are

Cream (2), Outer Conception (6), and Delirious (7), but all are outstanding.

10/10.

This is good, but not as good as Tandu and Pigs in Space. Although every song

is good, they all have very similar structure. Ofer definitely emphasizes

different sounds in each song, so its not too repetitive. However, it is

fucking FAT and HARD! I just loooooove Ofer's metallic, grinding, driving

style! At the end of some songs, the melodies get a tiny bit too sugary, but

they still make me fly. Uplifter and Why Not on Mars? are probably my

favorites.

I know what you're thinking. Is this album packed with 5 or only 4 tracks introducing modulation? Well, I must admit in the heat of the modulation blitz on this album I kinda lost track myself, but considering this album was made with modulation lovers in mind AND as such will blow your head CLEAN off, you just gotta ask yourself one question: Do I like modulation? Well, do you ... punk?!

 

Apologies for the long introduction but the heavy use of modulation (i.e. a change in pitch, typically, one note up or down) on this album calls for attention. It's an old debated topic in psytrance circles: Is it cheesy or ain't it? I find it cheesy, I'm afraid, not quite sure what bugs me the most; the fact that the artist wants to entertain me doing the exact same thing only one note different or the fact that the artist apparently doesn't have any more to offer! Not that there is anything wrong with modulation in itself, but it's a tricky path to walk. One example (of many!) where it's used splendidly is Cosmosis' track Inner Space from Contact. On Delirious it just sounds like a typical, easy way out.

 

Anyhow, besides challenging my taste with his love for modulation, Oforia's album aint bad. Aint bad at all :o) It holds much of the mid nineties goa'ish feeling I like from this period, though I prefer it even more melodic. Closing track Dew Point is a beauty, though. Also opener Maximiser, Cream, and the title track Delirious maintains a good pumping rhythm and are bound still to set the dance floors on fire. Provided the modulation issue isn't an issue!

 

So, in conclusion. If you don't mind or even like modulation and looking for quality mid nineties goa, you need to try this. Chances are you'll love it for it's catchiness, energy, and goa'ish feeling. If you don't like modulation this album will put you to the test on 4 tracks, but there may very well be enough good tracks to go around still :o)

It is good. Maybe 'classic' is pushing the boat out a bit but most the tracks are pretty good, yeah.

SkeletonMan: If modulation is that stupid way of excusing the abscence of meledies by creating loops going one not up and down and multiplying them on 5 different synth sounds... Then I clearly don't like it. This album is full of these pointless semi-melodies. The energy and driving force usually derives from the sheer amount of sounds and rawness of each sound rather than composition and arrangement of the track. Even so, I guess it's done with a certain skill, and when there are melodies, harmonies, they are usually pretty good. The music is well produced but lacks soul in my opinion.

 

7/10
