Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 DJ Sangeet - DJ Sangeet Artist: DJ Sangeet Title: DJ Sangeet Label: Spirit Zone Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 10'05" Breath Of Light 02. 07'27" Energized 03. 07'02" Ractivated 04. 05'35" Astrobar 05. 07'50" Automatic 06. 08'18" Substance 07. 07'54" Now And Then 08. 06'28" Gansehaut Review: All the 8 tracks are made by Dj Sangeet but there's some collaborations with Dj Ketama (Track 2), & Madelaine Zühlsdorff (tracks 1,4,5,8). It's nice to notice that some new women are involved in trance production but there are not enough. After listening the first track ,you'll understand the construction of the next 6 tracks.I mean a progressive- clubby-commercial trance style with the quite same type of sounds, some little reminisence of Electric Universe by moments coz Andreas Karsten Pfeiffer have done many collaboartion with Boris Blenn but doesn't have his maestria. In order to be fashion Dj Sangeet manage to get 2 big bad points: some synth sounds very 80's, a chill track to conclude his album like nowadays major part of the artists did but it's the awfulest track of this album which is already very average. For me, this album is the worst release from Spirit Zone in 2002, so avoid it & keep your money to buy one of the numerous quality releases of this summer 2OO2. best track:Substance mark:4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Candlejack Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Well, I'd give this an 7,5/10 all together. It's not bad at all, and the electro-pop track is pretty refreshing and good. I still don't get people that whine when these artists try to put some diversity in their music. If they'd all just copy MFG or GMS, wouldn't THAT be fun... ? Whoo... NOT!!! Don't diss good music people. DJ Sangeet could learn some more however, his track on Global Psychedelic Trance Vol. 6 (defolder) was better than most songs on this. Anyway, with a little more effort, Sangeet can come a long way. For now, he's just average, with some good tracks in there as well. But what's the trend in making Psytrance albums shorter? I hate that... 60 minutes here.. Come on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yak attak Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 diversity of sound is cool but it still has to be done right to be any good... no one wants more cloned psytrance but nor do we want substandard experiments that don't really work.

Guest pure-trance[at]mail[dot]com Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I think many of you fail to understand the sound of DJ Sangeet or the roots of his creation. for over ten years sangeet is developing the sound of happy round beats, pagan in a way. yes yet it is commercial. All im saying is thugh some dj better than create tracks this album is very original and has a place in todays "allsame" sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nirav Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Sangeet has been playing music very much ahead of his time. What the majority of you listen to now, he was probably playing 8 years ago, maybe in 8 years time you might appreciatte this. If MFG and GMS is the benchmark of electronic music, we live in a sad world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yan84[at]aquanet[dot]co[dot]il Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Sangeet is one of the best-established DJ names on the German psy circuit, and while the collaborative work I know him from has been top notch, this is severely lacking. Breath Of Light opens things up and it’s like wandering into a dodgy neighbourhood. It’s linear stuff that doesn’t go anywhere, and at ten minutes plus it’s too much. Energizes lacks subtlety but it’s a nicely produced and – as the name suggests – energetic little number, with nice leadlines. Astrobar is an electro-tinged number which isn’t bad until you notice that the bassline is almost entirely lifted from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and over which a few splurgey noises able about like bored pensioners waiting for the shops to open. Automatic holds together well, there’s not a busting lot happening but it works, and fits nicely in the mix. Substance is trance by numbers. You can almost feel what it’s going to do next, and though the hats, synths and progression is in the right place it’s been done before. The melody is cheesy and dominates the rest of the track, leaving an awkward feel which would most likely empty the dancefloor of all but the most fucked party people. Now & Then features a bassline and two melodies, none of which is in key with anything else. If they were all shifting, the effect would be psychedelic in the extreme but, alas, as they are static and dull, untouched by the fair hand of knob-twiddling or effects, they rather suck ass. Gansehaut is the obligatory downtempo outro but at this point it’s difficult to be bothered. This is a hugely disappointing release, bordering on an insult to the intelligence. It’s flat, linear and with nothing memorable except it’s complete lack of memorableness. Spirit Zone are normally a wonderfully consistent label, so I don’t know what happened here.
