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

[Guest Candlejack]

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!!

[Guest yak attak]

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.

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.

[Guest Nirav]

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.

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.
