Clairvoyance Review: Michael Andresen keeps on exploring the atmospheric side off progressive trance. 12 Moons often feels like the uptempo version of his brilliant ambient project Healer (which currently is climbing on the list as one of the most beautiful and relaxing records). This is no exception. "Invisible Light" is a very typical 12 Moons track - deep kick under numerous layers of heavenly atmosphere which progresses and transforms towards a pumping finnish - pumping ambient which could make the floor cry and burn at the same time?? "Clairvoyance" is more built around a typical 12 Moons melody which maybe gets a little bit more space then they use to have. It´s still very atmospheric with nice string-like sounds and a very strong and emotional finnish which works towards brighter and brighter areas until it finally hits the ground again. This was the first track I fell for on this EP, but after some more listenings it felt like the A-side is the one that will keep it up in the long run, maybe it's the melody that looses its power bit after a couple of listenings but I still think that this is one of his stronger 12 Moons releases.

Guest Mescalinium Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 This is definately one of the best singles released so far this year, and harkens back to the golden age of Spiral Trax when they could do no wrong. Massive textures and atmospheres, sublime pads and strings, and a gorgeous breakdown all add up to some quality music! Must buy! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baboon Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Yeah... another great EP from Michael. Typical 12 Moons touch here aswell I think, touching melodies, groovy atmosphere and rhytmhic beats. One bad thing though (if you can call it that) is that his tracks almost always is around 10 minutes or more, can easily get bored of the tracks then. :/ Allthough 12 Moons is one of my favourite artists for the moment and has been for a while, hope his soon coming album will be the same sucess as all his previous EP releases. Worth getting indeed if your into this sort of vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
