Guest Syre Posted May 1, 2001 Share Posted May 1, 2001 This isn't called goa. This is mono grooves and techno. Der Dritte Raum is in a total other division, but they kick ass. They have their own unique style. Nobody gets close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dj_auryn Posted May 1, 2001 Share Posted May 1, 2001 indeed not really psy, but it mixes well with a lot of psytrance and progressive. very original album by the way, with a great combination of groovy dancefloor tracks, and more experimental funky pieces. never boring, and production is always perfect - buy it if you want some new horizons...

Mesiaz Posted May 2, 2001 Author Share Posted May 2, 2001 Der Dritte Raum - Distanz Artist: Der Dritte Raum Title: Distanz Label: Virgin Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 05'00" Distanz 02. 05'46" Da Tanz Ich Doch Gleich Lieber Rumba ... 03. 06'43" Neutrale Tonfolge 04. 07'05" Hokus Pokus 05. 06'11" Notengewirr 06. 05'43" Der Schrittmacher 07. 05'34" Tanzmedial 08. 00'45" Musik-Vorspiel 09. 05'13" Musik-Kommt 10. 05'54" Rhythmus Vorgetauscht 11. 06'32" Die Kalte Gitarre 12. 05'36" Fortschritt Review: Sooo, here we go. I must admit I havn't actually heard the other albums from these guys, so I can't really compare them. I will do this in a little awkward way, I will just put the cd on and then write stuff whenever i feel there is something to write. Btw, this is only my second listen to the cd. Track 1: Right on, no real intro here, just starts, just great. Track 2: Fresh sort of very happy start, after that it goes more into something you could call psy, but still some weird stuff going on here This simple beat start and it seems like it just continues, and continues... but now, heeyy, goes back to a little bit more psy and becomes a little darker. I bet it continues like that until the end......yeah, it does. Track 3: Begins with disorted strings or something, "swoopy" kick comes in. ....Maaaannn, great groove, this can actually be called psy. Slowly building up...sort of dreamy sounds...back to the groove. Great track so far!!! Building up again...new stuff added...Breaks. Back to the original groove! Some sort of sounds from a cat....fades... Track 4: Classic start, high freqs, gets harder. What can i say...groove, classic building up. Breaks, at least for a few seconds or so. Breaks. Changes a little. Some sounds removed, sounds better, more concentrated! Breaks...hmmm is this the same track? sounds totally different now. No real climax here. Track 5: Great start, totally changes, don't think I like this. Well, ok, sounds better know with bass on. Naaa, still doesn't work, those sounds are ignoring...and adding sounds from a $10 keyboard doesn't make it better you know...Breaks. Cheap keyboard removed, still that ignoring stuff. A owl. A owl. Plenty of psy-sounds right here, not that that's necesarily a good thing...I don't like it. Track 6: Hard bass. Simple rhytm, some very noticeable sounds. Good stuff now that it makes a actual rhytm. Gets better, where did that hard bass go? good rhytm, different from the previous tracks. Provoking sounds again. Track 7: Hmm, judging it could be a really melodic israelian track. Goes more minimalistic, bass power! Good track so far. Some sort of misplaced sounds appear, can't be described. Again, no climax, fades... Track 8: Weirdo start, some sort of vocal, hmmm, what the heck, is it over?? Track 9: GREAT GROOVE!!!! YEAH!!! /action grooves like a madman. Vocal again, hmmm, track 8 must have been some sort of intro. Background female vocal. Breaks. The groove is in the background now. Much more average now. Gets better. Vocal repeated over and over. The groove again! Disappears. /action must sleep. *18 hours later* Here again. Track 10: Funky start, good stuff. FunkyFunky, not a real groove. Good stuff. Not much bass here, not much going on. Ok stuff. Track 11: Boring I would say. ....... comeon, get it going.....better now. Melody from the 80's appear, maybe from that cheap keyboard. Still ain't really good. Track 12: Ok start. Cheap keyboard again, this time better. No sort of bass. Weirdo sounds. Ok melody. Breaks. Suddenly a bass appears. Fades. Well, ok album with some real highlights. This is happy minimalistic, not that big bastard hard bass we always hear, happy stuff. This can't be called goa, maybe it can be called psy. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest organicfucklord[at]cyberloveplac Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 If DDR iz not psy then what the fuck iz ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dano[at]dds[dot]nl Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 Is it techno? Is it psy? Is it psytechno? Or is it progressive psy tehno with a goa twist? Man, why ask yourself in which pigeonhole to put it? Is it nice to listen to while weirded out and can you dance to it? I think it is and you can.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 DDR is like this few bands who are not making "pure" goa or psy-trance, like Juno Reactor, Jaia, Blue Planet Corporation, or Eat-Static. Thanks god for making these bands existing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidtolsn Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 every track on this cd follows the same pattern. it starts out really catchy, with a nice beat and some nice synths. then about a minute into it you realize that it's not going to change, it just keeps doing the same thing. by the two minute mark you're getting really sick of it, and you soon fast forward to see if the song changes. it doesn't. i went through this entire cd and the only track i listened to all the way through was one of the ones in the middle (5 or 6?) i want to get a few things straight. this is NOT goa or psytrance, it's more like 80's electro-funk. and it will seem promising at first if you listen to it, but in fact it's pretty bad. this is a waste of time, perhaps you will like it if you like generic techno. for me, 0.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
