Jeto Posted July 4, 2001 Author Posted July 4, 2001 Psycraft - Gravitech Artist: Psycraft Title: Gravitech Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 03'05" Life In Mono 02. 08'12" Night In Kopangan 03. 07'22" Bizarre (Rmx) 04. 07'46" SOS 05. 07'46" Illegal Overdose 06. 08'16" Hypnotic MSG 07. 08'23" Dream On 08. 07'21" Born Evil 09. 07'53" Partial Recall Review: Psycraft's debut album is in thier typical style. I was looking forward to this one. They are known for thier very funky melodies and groovy tracks. The intro has a laidback beat almost dreamy. Night In Kopenian has some very cool uplifting buildups towards the end. This album has more melodies than stomp. Bizarre Rmx has the most plesant bassline stomping away with a nice 4/4 kickdrum and a bunch of kreaking noises. This one also has some very relaxed guitars on it. S.O.S starts to get deep. Somehow this track seems such a "Goa Gil" track. Illegal Overdose goes back to dreamy not so dark melodies... This one gets really groovy with those melodies and it gets more intense over time. It has those very 303 sounds old school sounds... Which I must say are used very well. Hypnotic M-S-G- has a great sample courtesy of Simon Posford. When I interviewed these guys they said they wanted to work with him. Hear you get a very nice track. It goes into another known track "Dream On" which has been on compilations for a while now. Partial Recall is full of guitars which dont bother me too much... It turns into Full On somehow. This album is just brilliant! It's produced very well and I would definately reccomend it if your into an alternative to minimalism. Quote
Guest didge Posted July 4, 2001 Posted July 4, 2001 groovey, stylish and spacey - i love this stuff! Fav track is S.O.S, but Bizarre Rmx is also a favourite. Recommended highly! I'll review it properly with a bit of time Quote
Guest soof Posted July 4, 2001 Posted July 4, 2001 album that won't be forgotten in a while and will allways be one of the trance classics ever... highly recomended Quote
Guest BLT Posted July 4, 2001 Posted July 4, 2001 That's the perfect combination between melodic and groovie trance. No one makes it better than these guys. Top notch album. Quote
Guest Psy-fan Posted July 5, 2001 Posted July 5, 2001 Funky, psychedelic & uplifting - Psy Craft are defiantly an act to watch out for! Quote
Guest Psyentist Posted July 23, 2001 Posted July 23, 2001 Very rude, S O S is one very kick ass track I mixed a few tracks at my last party the boys and girls immediately went into hybrid sensation and witnessed another rebirth in the brain transition to greater understanding, haven't seen anyone review the activate morlack album I think it's time.

Guest evan[at]shpongle[dot]com Posted August 9, 2001 Posted August 9, 2001 PSYCRAFT's new album is incredible. Full on psychedelic goa power, perfect for those suffering from 'glory days' nostalgia of classic goa and it has awsome modern psychedelic production quality. Quote
Guest ssss Posted August 24, 2001 Posted August 24, 2001 this is good, best release in long time 10/10 the best track is sos and bizzaro rem Quote
Guest OA Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Excellent release. 9/10. This is great PsyTrance. Quote
Guest slidingtrancer Posted September 22, 2001 Posted September 22, 2001 I heard this at my fav psyshop in amsterdam and I wanted to buy it, looked in my pockets and I felt really dissapointed, NO MONEY!!! I'm dying to buy this. Psytrance like its meant to be. 9.2/10 This is gonna be a classic for sure Quote
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted September 25, 2001 Posted September 25, 2001 I just bought it yesterday and it was everything I expected, favorite trax up till now are 3,4,5,8. Excellent release, one of the best I ever heard. I will not bore people with a description of every track in detail, but just advise them to BUY IT! It's one of the best cd's I have and I have many cd's. Kick ass melodic psychedelics, but in every song there's a little of everything. Guitar-haters, don't worry about the guitar, it sounds much better in here. Listen it for yourselves Anyway, this one goes up to my favorite 5. 9.6/10 Quote
Guest aquamental[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted October 26, 2001 Posted October 26, 2001 Excellent good mood party album! It's sooo beautiful and full of positive energy. I just can't keep still while listening to this. It really makes me dance and smile at the same time with no worries in my mind. Well done Psycraft! You guys have received a special place in my heart... Quote
Guest MDMA Posted November 2, 2001 Posted November 2, 2001 ive spent so much time looking for a hard but dreamy and beautiful real psychedelic trance AND NOW I HAVE FOUND IT FOR SURE!!! Psycrafts bizarre remix is so great on its 1:20 mins till 2:47 that it worths the whole album(why r u fucking with our minds... what is real...is this real...hhahahehehe.. when they simulate worlds like this), the voices r great too!!!... SOS is also very full-on n very well build-up psytrance! Brasil Rulez!!! Quote

This is a recommended CD 8/10 (The cover is not a killer, its medium alright=) Quote
Guest joel[at]shpongle[dot]com Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 This is a special album, nice and original. I have been searchy for this blend of styles for a long time. Funky, rolling basslines, melodic and uplifting. 9.9/10 Quote
Guest NFalke666[at]aol[dot]com Posted March 30, 2002 Posted March 30, 2002 Partial Recall is amazing!!! why isn't this album in red? Quote
Guest Candlejack Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 Well, pretty good stuff. I do tend to find that this one has a little too much the 'stop and go' feeling in some of the tracks. I don't know .. there's just something about this.. It does tend to listen really well though, so not too much complaining to do here. In short: well produced & mixed Israeli psychedelica for the masses. It being Israeli does have a drawback.. there's a fucking matrix sample in one of the tracks.. when are those Israeli dudes gonna stop samplin' that damn movie?? 7,5/10 here (maybe an 8/10 if I listen to it more often) Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 i just boght it after all the good words here and.... i am disapinted. evrything sound o.k and qality and prodaction are good, however its not inoveting or original at all, it sound very recayceled and un original. there is btter stuf outthere 5/10 Quote
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 I can't believe what this last guy is saying, audio-wise this IS original and innovative. Just listen to the great way audio is placed in the aural spectrum. I must've heard this album over 500 times and still its earcandy Quote
