Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 BLT - God Is Love Artist: BLT Title: God Is Love Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 07'24" Monolith 02. 06'57" Global Spirit 03. 08'55" The Calling (Callback Mix) 04. 07'50" Froggy Business 05. 05'12" God Is Love 06. 06'33" She's My Baby 07. 07'39" Nonsense (No Nonsense Mix) 08. 06'37" Bizarre (Floor Mix) 09. 06'32" Back To Basics Review: Since the first seconds of the album , the unique groovy & melodic style of Yuli Fershtat is recognized. We know what we can expect from him and he succeed to deliver us once again some good (mainly)progressive or psytrance stuffs. With some reworked rythmics (live drum played by Danni Makov) ,faster tempo & some more sounds The Calling has been lifted up,very nice. Some more informations about the tracks : Global Spirit is co-written with Cosma. God Is Love was done with Ziv Matushka. The Bizarre (floor mix) is an original from Psycraft remixed by B.L.T. Nice also to discover the hidden bonus track which is very enjoyable (5'52). Some tracks are weaker like Back to basics or Froggy Business but overall the level production is good. Highlights by order : Bizarre (flloor mix) The Calling (callback mix) Other good stuffs by order : Global Spirit The hidden track Nonsense (no nonsense mix) Mark : 7,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goa[at]c4[dot]com Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I love this- best of BLT ever after the great trax in amalgamated amalgamation- Bizzare remix is fucking unbelievable, I go around all day with the guitars in my head. Global Spirit rocks and so is the calling- what a great break- put it really loud, and you'll know!!! Back to Basics is a killer also, and I love the surprise track- does it have a name??? Who's singing there? Highly recommended album. Bom Shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonathangivony[at]hotmail[dot]co Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Everything here is new. Just an outstanding CD from start to finish. Yuli Fershat is one of the most respected artists in Israel and he shows us exactly what progressive Israeli music is all about. Groovy and dark are the two adjectives that were going through my head the most while listening to this CD. My favorites are: the calling, nonsense, and bizzare. This one is one of the best CD's of 2002 so far. 9/10. Very different from anything I have heard this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yan84[at]aquanet[dot]co[dot]il Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 A third album from BLT after Alchemic Anecdote and Presence, and it tops them all. The same great depth to the music, the same mind dazzling music with lots of feel that keeps growing on you with every listen, but all with superb sound and a different and maturer character and feel. And still is music that touches your heart and makes your brain dance, like all BLT's stuff, which is why I love his music so much. It starts with Monolith, dark and mysterious, it sucks you slowly into another realm in space- massive atmosphere and a great opener for an album. Then Yuli teams up with Cosma for a storming morning stormer that has BLT's mind factor and Cosma's atmosphere- an irresistible combination. The callback mix to The Calling (released on UFS3) is next. Yuli teams here with one of Israel's best drummers, Danny Makov, doing the live percussion, and the outcome is a dancefloor cracker- that horn at the break just sends everyone flying! And those little percussion touches that keep revealing themselves... Great. Froggy Business (T4, to be released soon on Iboga's Ectoplasma) chill things a bit and takes you to darker realms- mysterious alienated feel with little things happening all around you all the time. Good one to close the eyes to. It all fades into God Is Love, the track that gave the album its great name, a cooperation with Ziv Matushka (Babaganushka, P.Cok)- just listen- a great deep deep dubby chill track for the heart, with that amazing sample about Aldos Huxley. She's My Baby (T6) comes next- irresistible groove, catchy percussion- gotta dance! I love this track, I love Janice as well. Nonsense follows (T7)- the only track here that carries the feel of Presence. Happy touching morning track. Then the big dancefloor hit of the album- BLT's remix to PsyCraft- great guitars that blows the dancefloor! Back to Basics is the last track (almost) here- aggressive, mind drilling- what Yuli has to say about what is going on in Israel right now. Another favorite. Almost last, I said, because you have a great surprise here in the end- not trance, but possibly the best track in the album- remember- tomorrow never happens... Recomendation: An amazing album full of concept, good music and dancing beats- the album that moved me most this year so far- own it and it will stay with you for long. God IS Love. 10/10 from me...

Guest Dr Cheroot Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 A good album, but didn't hold my attention for too long. bought it 2 months ago, have listened to it a single time in the last one and a half Overall: 6/10 Not an essential, but good if u have some extra cash or are a diehard BLT fan.

seraph Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Nothing that special...His first songs were much better than this album...It has good songs but it's mostly laid back music that I can't even call Trance...Best songs are : MONOLITH, GLOBAL SPIRIT, THE CALLING....6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
