Guest Tequila Posted February 20, 2000 Posted February 20, 2000 Koxbox - Forever After Artist: Koxbox Title: Forever After Label: Harthouse Date: 1995 Track listing: 01. 09'45" Point Of No Return 02. 09'15" Space Travellers 03. 08'14" Insect And Insect Bite 04. 07'26" Tribal Oscillation 05. 13'38" Neurobic 06. 07'49" Space Interface 07. 07'54" Orientalic 08. 06'58" Loads Of Flow (Molecular Mix) Review: When I bought Forever After, I already had the previous one from Koxbox, Dragon Tales wich is excellent.That's probably why I was completely disappointed by Forever After.But the things didn't changed, to like Dragon Tales, you have to listen to it many times, and so is exactly Forever After.Still very psychedelic, the music from this group is very a pleasure to be listened to so, if you do not like this CD, please, insist and listen to it an other time before having a definitive opinion.Best Track, Insect&Insect Bite.

Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted February 20, 2000 Posted February 20, 2000 This was acutally released in 1994 on the Harthouse label. So this is Koxbox' first album. And it's fucking awesome. Already in 94 these crazy danes created something so unique, that it's still ahead almost all new releases. Only a few other artists and of course Koxbox themselves can match this album and manage to create something so PSYCHEDELIC, intelligent and beautiful. This is a masterpiece and for every psytrancer this is a must-have. Otherwise you'll be missing one the milestones in the history of Goa And Psychedelic Trance! Get this, listen and learn...

Guest Ubik Posted February 20, 2000 Posted February 20, 2000 Oh, so this is Koxbox first album. Thanks for the info, Moksha This album is not as perfect as Dragon Tales, but is quite good. No bad track here, my favourite is Insect And Insect Bite. Latest album of Koxbox, the great unknown, is really different, and for now I don't like it at all, so if you find it, beware ! Quote
Guest Mindbender Posted April 19, 2000 Posted April 19, 2000 I love this album. Even though it's trance, it still has this chill-out mentality and I think it's especially great to listen to when I've been twisted into a knot by all the dark and harsh trance I listen to nowadays. It's extremely trippy, but still very clear and this album presents me with fabulous scenes and emotions. Though I think it's more a listening album, every track is also great for dancing. The sounds just beg you to explore the space around you by dancing and moving your hands. All the tracks are good. The last track is the only real party stomper (made with Cwithe). The production is excellent and everything fits perfectly together (as always with Ian Ion). There's really no bad word I can say about this album. 9/10. Quote
freak51 Posted April 30, 2000 Posted April 30, 2000 Nice overall, and stunning for its time, but sounds pretty old now. I wouldn't play anything off this anymore, probably because I couldn't get a hold of it until last year (1999). I imagine it's the sort of thing that you had to be there to enjoy to its full potential. Quote
Guest a_ozi Posted May 29, 2000 Posted May 29, 2000 It has its moments, although don't totally believe Matsuri's hype that its 1 of the most original goa albums in existence. KoxBox have evolved, and thats a good thing.......7/10 Quote
Guest F-AcTivE Posted October 7, 2000 Posted October 7, 2000 Orginal psychedelic trance from denmark . I really love Koxbox's album no:3. This is Koxbox first album , it's from 1994 ..old stuff , but it still sounds very nice. It's doesn't sounds as "The Great Unknown" album... but it is OK. In 1994-95 this album must been amazing. If u'r a Koxbox fan , u should get this ... if u'r not , STAY AWAY! i give this album 6/10 ! Quote
Guest Ubik Posted December 22, 2000 Posted December 22, 2000 Almost year 2001 and it still sounds as if it was just released ! These guys are genious. Buy it before it's too late ! 8.5/10 Quote
Guest davidtolsn Posted April 23, 2001 Posted April 23, 2001 i thought this cd was really bad... don't understand why so many people like it. really boring, no melodies and no energy. track 4 hurts my ears. 2/10 Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted August 8, 2001 Posted August 8, 2001 One of my first one of my best this is why I like goa. Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Excellent album!!! groovy and so well balanced!! this is oldstyle psychedelic house music that is best played in open air with lots of happy people grooving their ass off!! This must have been out of this world when it was first released in 94/95(?)!! For anyone that loves Koxbox and is into abit of the oldstyle sounds buy it (and that is an oreder!) 8/10 Quote
Guest AshonaciD[at]shpongle[dot]com Posted September 17, 2001 Posted September 17, 2001 Purchase this if you're interested in exploring the roots of psycehdelic/goa trance music. It sounds just a tad bit dated (especially compared to The Great Unknown) but fuck... for a 94/95 release... this album is simply amazing. 9.5/10 Quote
Guest extra_terrestrial[at]goatrance[d Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 You people only think about the time it's made and whether it's dated, IT IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE ALBUMES EVER MADE !!! Be objective....not subjective...tracks 2,3,4,5 are absolutely AMAZING.... 9/10 Quote
Guest deviantdidg[at]yahoo.co[dot]uk Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 If you consider when this was released, this is seriously innovative stuff Still good now! Quote
lysergic Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 very psychedelic album i love this old koxbox sound. MUCH better than The Great Unknown, IMO. this stuff is very innovative and reallys needs u to sit down and have a proper listen, its a masterpiece. the kind of music that puts u in the mood for mind-travelling and cosmic stuff, if u know what i mean all tracks are good! my favourite probaly being #4. overall 9/10 Quote
Guest rx7style Posted February 2, 2002 Posted February 2, 2002 I came in my pants listening to this! Quote
seraph Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Great album ! Extremely psychedelic !!! One of the best albums ever released...All songs are great but especially SPACE TRAVELLER, INSECT AND INSECT BITE, TRIBAL OSCILLATION ( !!!!! ), NEUROBIC, ORIENTALIC... 9.5/10 Quote
Guest ZEN_ic Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 Big Psychedelic album of Koxbox, My favourites tracks are 1,2,3,6 and 8. Buy it. 8/10 Quote
Guest ISysoev[at]i.com[dot]ua Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Yes, it really takes some time to like this album...But if you did like it one day then it becomes one of your all-time favourites. No doubt the best track is Insect&Insect Bite. Point of no Return is also nice. 8/10 Quote
SkeletonMan Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 This has got to be my favourite Koxbox/Psychopod release sounding as exciting and fresh today as it did in 1995. Everything works to perfection here. While I sometimes find Koxbox/Psychopod releases challenging to decipher and therefore more suited for "listening" purposes rather than dancing, the sounds of Forever After spiralls right into my mind and feet. I can trip equally well in a comfortable chair as go mayheem on the dancefloor with this baby and opening track Point of no Return has the perfect title. Once on you need to hear it through ... Favourites? Impossible to pin out. All! A magnificent 5/5 stars if there ever was one. Essential. Quote
qa2pir Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 GOOD music, very psychedelic and I really like the housy influences (the tempo and the nice clap fill-ins, stuff like that). Quote
