Review:

 

after one year break we finally hear something new from Destination Goa series

and this doesn't only mean music. They made some changes to DG11 cd box

appearance. I don't know if they keep it this way but for me it looks a bit

more commercial. Another new thing in DG11 is that CD1 is full on and CD2 is

progressive... or so does the backside say. Okey CD1 is full on cd which

starts very well known one year old track from Talamasca. Next track was

surprice for me... a new material from Bamboo Forest. They just released their

new album I first though it was already in that album but no. Start of this

track is really boring but it gets better the further it goes. Track number 3

is really intresting track from Saiko-Pod it's really typical boom boom from

the start and at the end has this really well known B5 lyrics. Track 5 is a

new material from Astral Projection and typical for AP is their melodic tunes

and Chaos doesn't make exception. Although it isn't my favourite track from!

their current album. Track 6 is Phasio track which I haven't heard before.

Anyway this track sounds to be made for this album (because it's remix). It

gets more and more tempo from start and sounds great to me. Next track is

Machine Head with P.L.U.R. which has some really cool sounds but the start

don't impress me enough. Middle part was reeeally great. Track 7 is Tranan

with his Preacher Boy and sounds like melodic full on minimal(?) to me. Anyway

it didn't catch me but no worries the end of CD1 is really awesome track from

Human Blue ! yes. Human Blue's track Carpe Diem. The start of this track is

really really downbeat doesn't sound at all like full on track but this track

is developing and it goes to my favourite track in this cd! My favourite

tracks in CD1 is: 1,2,3,5,8 and other tracks are good too. I'll give 8/10 for

CD1. CD2 is progressive. Progressive means something wierd, psychedelic or

even minimal tracks. Well this cd really has those types. CD2 begins with

Aeternum's track called Mescalin. I haven't heard Aeternum before. Mescalin

have some really spooky samples and lyrics but didn't catch me enough. Track 2

is Chromosome track called Into The Wild. I really like this tracks spooky

start and sounds nicely psychedelic to the end. Next track is my favourite

classic Atmos track Only Process but this is Vibrasphere Remix from this

classic. I've bump into this remix also in chill-out album called Destination

Ibiza but I really couldn't find out why this track was in that cd? Anyways

this is my favourite track in CD2. Track number 4 Android track called

Interactive which is developing really fine from the start too. Sounds nice to

me. I surpriced to see something new from Miranda in track number 5 which is

Sparkling State Of Mind and sounds really great. One of the most intresting

things in ! Miranda's tracks is how she manage to have something new to his

tracks all the time. I mean this track has really cheesy bassline but still

there is some new really wicked parts in this tune and middle parts has really

awesome developing. Great track from Miranda. Track 6 is Noma's Sleepwalker

which first couple seconds sounds boring... but suddenly it gets awesome.

Really awesome bassline! and it gets even better at the end! Whoah. Track

number 7 is track from Amtrax called Atmoliner which sounds first really

boring and then really boring. This track didn't catch me. The last track is

A.I.R.'s Breathe which starts really promising and develops really nicely to

the end. Nice final track for this compil. My favourite tracks in CD2 is:

3,4,5,6,8 and others are quite nice. I'll give 8.5/10 for CD2. The whole

Destination Goa 11 I'll give 8.5/10 it's worth of buying.

after listening to the whole 2 cds twice..

I most say I have disapointed a bit since I love "DG" compilations !

anyway ,

Talamasca : Psychedelic Knights -pure trance, poor quality !

Bamboo Forest : 2002 - disappoint abit , but still rocks!

Saiko-Pod : Tron - should listen to this one !

Astral Projection : Chaos - great quality {usuall AP stuffs}

Phasio : That Style (Android Oriental Trance Rmx} I didn`t heard the orginal

mix , but it`s a very nice track {great sounds !}

Machine Head : PLUR - I don`t like minimal sh*t , but this track sounds pretty

good

Tranan : Preacher Boy - not my style {anyway, sounds well done }

Human Blue : Carpe Diem - masterpiece !

Favs : 2,3,6,8

 

CD2 didn`t like what I heard in the second cd as usua;; in "DG" line..

nice stuffs in cd2 : 1,2, 3{great!} and 4.

 

CD1 7.8/10

CD2 6/10

 

anyway , I enjoye this release

PS worth the money.
