I slightly prefer Helium, but it's a good album ! No Bad Tracks (... maybe Track 4 cause I find it too repetitive), and 5 Good Tracks : 1,2,3,6,8 ! Rating : 7/10 Quote
Guest Ubik Posted March 12, 2000 Posted March 12, 2000 Much more varied than Phototropic and that's good ! Robostyx is an absolute killer and all the other tracks are good 8/10 Quote
Guest Ubik Posted July 25, 2000 Posted July 25, 2000 It's getting a little now, but still very good. I like Hypersphere a or t as much as Robostyx. Quote
Guest Tequila Posted August 24, 2000 Posted August 24, 2000 the review I posted 3 months ago has disappeared:-( all that to say that even if it sounds old, it's melodic, with a nice kick, but it always sound the the same.so, a good album, but hard to listen to in one shot. best track: robostyx.

Guest Ubik Posted December 27, 2000 Posted December 27, 2000 Oups, seems like I forgot some words I meant "it's getting a little old now". Quote
Guest Mescalinium Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 While Helium works better as a whole, I believe this "album" contains some of Transwave's best songs. Adoration to the Aum has that incredibly hard bass beat with a wonderful progression from straight forward pounding to a touch of melody. While I'm sure its impossible to track this down on vinyl, I've always fantasized about opening a set with this track. Goacore has a soft tribal intro that's over 2 minutes long. This beautifully segues into the synthetic percussive beat. Hypersphere is another classic with the famous "31 seconds" sample. Robostyx is also one of my favorites, very fast, nice melodies, not much more to say! While there will always be people who label anything released in 1995 as "dated", I think all the tracks I've mentioned have stood up very well and are full of innovative (even for now) arrangements. This will always be one of my favorites. 8/10, because not every song is equal in quality. Quote
Guest testal5[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Goacore KICKS ass and NO bad tracks that's for sure! Quote
seraph Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Very good album...Album vary in styles...All songs are good byut the Best are : ADORATION TO THE AUM, AXONAL ( ! ), GOACORE, AURAL PERCEPTION, CALIMANTAN ( ! )...8/10 Quote
Guest Davidtolsn Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 good first cd from transwave, although i think phototropic and helium are much better. lots of the tracks on this are too old sounding, i think. nevertheless, i love tracks 4 and 5... i'd give it 7/10. if you haven't heard the other transwave cds definitely check them out first.

desysko Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Been listening to this album again, I just can't stop at all! Favorite songs definitely gotta be all of them but my go to songs are Robostyx and Goacore. Quote
Goa-Head Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 This should be really picked and reissued by Suntrip Limited. Though I don't consider this essential at all it's still something historical. Would need a decent mastering too. Quote
desysko Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Now that would great if it did get a re-release. Though I think the mastering is fine as it is but that's probably because I've grown use to it. Quote
Trance2MoveU Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 If I had to rank the Transwave albums, 1. Phototropic 2. Helium 3. Backfire 4. Hypnorhythm 5. Frontfire Great mini-album (Goacore rules), but those first two are bona-fide classics. I would say that it might be time for this project to get the DAT Records treatment soon, yes? Quote
