Guest alex s Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 Solar Plexus - Images Of The 5th Dimension Artist: Solar Plexus Title: Images Of The 5th Dimension Label: Hypnotic Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 06'25" Fragments 02. 08'01" Liquid Moon 03. 06'50" Ornaments Of Dust 04. 07'57" Solarplanet 05. 08'03" Crystal Forest 06. 09'42" Gravity Recoil 07. 06'51" Kalieda 08. 07'25" Voices Of Nova 09. 07'41" The Landing (Epilog) Review: I dunno, but this is not very strong goa trance. What's worse: Hypnotic (a division of the ever so shitty Cleopatra label) thought it was a good idea to print: "100% Pure Goa Trance" on the cover! I think the production is the real problem with this album. It's not smooth, it doesn't sound psychedelic... in fact it sounds more like something made with Rebirth on a PC. Also, there are too many variations in the beat, which at times can be very frustrating. Track 6 is just plain awful. However, a few tracks work (2, 4, 5, 7 and 8), but still I can't really imagine anyone dancing to this. So...my rating: 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Per Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 I liked this album when I first discovered Goa. A couple years later, a few dollars poorer and Goa-wise, I can honestly say this album is poor. 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted May 19, 2001 Share Posted May 19, 2001 Where is the bathroom, I'm gonna puke! Here is a couple words of wisdom: "when a cd says 100% pure goa, IT'S NOT FUCKING GOA! I GIVE THIS PIECE OF SHIT 100 out of 10, CAUSE THATS HOW MANY BOXES OF FUCKING TISSUES YOUR GONNA NEED AFTER HEARING THIS-YOU'LL BE VOMITING THAT MUCH. ANYONE SELLING THIS CD, oh I'm sorry...I mean PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT, should incoorperate a bag to anyone who ACCI-FUCKING-DENTLY gets this crap!

Guest DaZinCOrP Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 This cd isn't goa. Fuck this electronic techno garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneila Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I don't know why this received such a bad response, because it's actually quite good music. Yes it is goa trance, not all goa trance has to sound the exact same style or have popular dance-floor appeal. All tracks are pretty good, nice melodies and atmospheres and great detail. The final downtempo track is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eudaimonia Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I was very suprised reading this review page... I think it is a good album , its nice dreamy goa trance! Not really dancefloor oriented. But I think goa trance is more than just dance music... And it is clearly goa trance! I a beginning to doubt we all listened to the same album... It get 4.72/5 on discogs .... anyone of the above persons wants to sell it to me? :lol:I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agneton Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Most of the reviews here are ridiculous. This is a great album indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Artist: Solar Plexus Title: Images of the 5th Dimension Label: Hypnotic Date: 1998 1. Fragments 2. Liquid Moon 3. Ornaments of Dust 4. Solarplanet 5. Crystal Forest 6. Gravity Recoil 7. Kalieda 8. Voices of Nova 9. The Landing (Epilog) Jon Coco that is a little more F word than I'm used to from you kind sir. The tone of your review was quite angry. Did your CD come with a side of herpes? I'll cut you a break, after all that review is almost 13 years old. We've all done things in our past that we aren't proud of. Hey! That is NOT me!!! Ok it is me. But like Rick James said, "Pixie Sticks are a helluva drug." I have to assume that the reviewers listened to a totally different CD than the one I have. Well...had. Like an idiot that didn't know what he had till it was gone I sold my copy, Stupid, I coulda been a million... Well it would've looked great in my goa collection. How can you say this is terrible? It's brilliant, exactly the type of stuff you're pre-ordering from Anjuna. Old school screeching with a psychedelic edge. You wanna pick on the cover with the arbitrary deity and 100% goa trance label, I'm with you. But this is downright goa trance gold. The only negative I can see is that J. Anderson only made one album. Someone needs to get in touch with this guy ASAFP and see if he's got DAT Tapes in Nana's attic. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Not a masterpiece but I don't understand the harsh reviews above. It sounds amateur a lot of times, with many lazy copy/paste sequences, that said the music is alright and the albums contains a few catchy tracks (for instance Solarplanet).
