Shidapu - The Light Of Shidapu

[Guest jonas]

I think it sounds like tracked music.

I´ve been hearing this album for a LOT of time now...it´s how i first met psy

trance...and it´s already "sentimental" to me.I DEMAND respect to erez aizen

and all his work(although i´d like him to go solo...).This album is pure magic.

Hey, this was made on a tracker! Uh...so I guess I like tracker music. After

all, I never knew that decent music becomes bad if you find out it's made on

software you don't like.

[Guest [Anonymous]]

i have this album, and it has a very different cover...whats happening?

: )....yeah very good tracker tunes... it has a very energic trance

perspective, all the songs are very fullon goa, but not very melodic (tnx god)

, the only think that i doesnt like is its superficiality, i mean, it has no

deep message to discover, like no feelings, maybe cuz the tracker, maybe cuz

the amount of people that work here....

its killer trance... 8/10

I simply don't like this album, and I never had. I don't really care if it's

made on a tracker or what it is, it just doesn't do anything for me.

 

Sure, there's a lot of power in the music, but for me it just sound aged and

cheesy.

 

I like a lot of Erez' earlier work though - especially "The Gathering".

[Guest Defbydelta...]

crazy wicked psychedilc what ever u want to call it but its Erez and hes fucked

up thought for sure and its only that man how can do stired up stuff like this

on that level and thats not that eazy..

Oh boy, how I loved the first Shiva Space Compilations. Got me into Goa, amongst others, but had a serious replay value for me. Like this here. Interesting to see that this was a real lovers/haters-release here back then. Impulse Tracker? I thought that the people back then were more open-minded. Yeah, I know, critics were always on the run. Just surprised that the opinions about Erez' early works differ into black and white just like about Putins unselfish Crimea-Help.

 

Old opinions aside, test the time. For myself, this still stands in the Light. Power, Feeling, Heart, Soul. Recklessness, Easyness, Playfulness. Nostalgia breathes through every track segment - inhale, hold, exhale. Aaaaaaaahh - juicy stuff. Full of great melodies, not too ethnic, pseudo-spiritual seriousness, more easy-going, uplifting nitzo-simplicity with some silly-brilliantly melodic excursions. The breakdowns engaging, smile-inducing, predictable but in-time. The bass, the kicks, some harder, some softer - never sounds polished, sterile, soulless. I seriously want to clap to the music sometimes - and I normally hate hands-in-the-air-clapping.

If you're a Erez-homie or true collector you should own this because the number of releases like this is - I think - quite low. If you can't listen without analyzing, well, the Tracker software might distract you. Me? In Dream's turn now, i have to do some claps...
