Basilisk Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Lumen - Infomania</span> Artist: Lumen Title: Infomania Label: Psychic Deli Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 06'52" Infomania 02. 06'55" Fried 03. 07'56" Cocus 04. 07'34" Fuse 05. 04'54" Future Frequency 06. 07'11" What It Is 07. 08'07" 3 To 1 08. 07'37" Canny Feelers 09. 07'43" Way Up In The Air 10. 07'46" Back To The Front 11. 04'43" Overboard Review: There's something here for Lumen fans but it feels maybe 3 or 4 years out of date and much of the new material isn't as interesting as what was already released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pantro Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 wow... very nice album....lots of influences, sometimes goa, sometimes techno, some r fast and some gives the feel of slow...very nice for the top psychedelic dance, but not the full on kind, very nice to play with the pitch wile... must say that i feel it very lsdhead oriented. (more than others i mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pantro Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 damn... it was another album that i was talking about, sorry, never mind what i said up before.... i do have this cd, and in fact i dint like it very much, never get used to the beat and percussions, but i think track 7 is nice...

Penzoline Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (old review no longer valid nor interesting... this is a funny old release unlikely to be of any great interest to anyone) I really wish you'd have at least kept these old forgotten reviews. This release is definitely forgotten, but why? I'd say because the year 2000, the label Psychic Deli, and the non-conforming sound. Chris conklin, aka Lumen appeared on several compilations along with a few groups like Radiation/Stripper, but his most known work is definitely as Stripper on VA - Air Born no less. His tunes were always kind of different. Harsher, techier and darker sound with rattling synths. This is a really cool, detailed album with several great songs and a few experiemental, but not bad, tracks. This is as solid as it gets as a whole and it gets additional points for sounding far different from everything else. This is a little like Psychaos's later and earlier sound fused with more softer goa sound, it makes for a very cool combination. No matter how you look at it, this album is far from bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Quirky psychedelia, very different and intelligent...7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Lumen never was a "big name" but I find most of his tracks very interesting and psychedelic. 3 to 1 is perhaps my favorite here but one track I love (not in this album) is Toffee in my teeth: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
