Guest Trancers303 Posted May 29, 2000 Posted May 29, 2000 Asia 2001 - Live Artist: Asia 2001 Title: Live Label: Trans'Pact Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. 07'40" Strange World 02. 08'20" Kalimba 03. 10'17" Super Skunk 04. 08'30" Rakshas 05. 08'53" Bengali 06. 07'36" Kalimba (Rmx) 07. 08'49" MFG : Magnetic Activity (Rmx) 08. 10'50" MFG : Overload (Rmx) Review: Martin Coopers third album...Notice! This Cd is mixed. Starts with Stange World. One of the best songs ever, I really love this one!!!Great Melodies cool bassline and of course those claps...Calimba sounds like heaven or something. Begins with some calms strings and then comes a ´disted bassline and a great melodie, I also love this one...Track 3 and 4 pretty nice, but track 4 sounds a little strange...Track 5 is the only track I don´t like. Track 6 is a remix of Kalimba, doesn´t sound like a remix but its pretty nice anyway...And then we have 2 remixes of MFG songs. MY GOD! This is so f****ng good!!!Especially The sample "I have a Magnetical Personality"It sounds better than the original. Overload i also great but I like Magnetic Activity more...If you are into melodic Goa then ´this cd is a MUST!!! 9/10 Quote
mars Posted May 30, 2000 Posted May 30, 2000 oooh this one is old. Back to 96...i thought this cd was excellent. now, of course it's become kinda out of date. Anyway the tracks are dynamic and well built, the remixes are great. Now you would call this 'melodic trance'. This is not really in fact. It looks like 96 Israelian trance. Indeed, if you like this kind of music, this is a good reference. An oldschool mind says 6/10. Quote
max Posted May 30, 2000 Posted May 30, 2000 Oooh it seems we don't have the same cover...mine is purple with strange ugly things. Quote
shahar@isratrance Posted May 30, 2000 Posted May 30, 2000 I love this CD, the MFG remixes are nice, and Martin chose the best tracks to remix. Great classic melodic Goa trance nostalgia. Andromede (1995) is a better album though, Fatasm (T5 there)rules. There's a new Asia 2001 album coming up next week- Dreamland. Quote
Guest DJ Psy604 Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 This guys are difficult tasted in my mind.. i love asia 2001 works.. and if uy like 96 psychedelic powerful style this is for you. The problem is that is very rare to be found original =(, but if u have a chance grab it. Vote:8/10 DRAEKE Quote
jeredelic Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 "Live" (along with Psykadelia) showcase the best of Asia 2001. There are no weak tracks on here, just pure psychedelic trance at work. I would rate this album higher than "Psykadelia" as a whole, except that Psykadelia has the track Flirt Filter on it which remains my personal favoite Asia 2001 track, vaulting that album slightly ahead of Live. But this cd is fantastic and contains true top-notch work...gotta love it. 9/10 Quote
Guest Cosmogenesis Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 By far, my favorite Asia 2001 album: a lot of great tracks inside (among them "Strange World"(!) "Super Skunk" (!), "Bengali"(!)), still very melodic and emotional with some "asiatic" influences created by the pads & the leads. The two remixes of MFG are, of course, awesome, but what a shame they don't sound very well on this album : the sounds are often hidden by the big volume of the kicks and bass. I guess this problem comes from the "live" recording or version of both tracks. But, maybe I'm completely wrong. This audio problem still remains a mystery for me... Quote
shaman of sound Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Ah! what a wonderful album! when im back from the army its great to release all the energys i've got! Quote
Manuser Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 STRANGE WORLD is the killer track here ! (y) with KALIMBA of course, two great goa tracks. I like this disc but I didn't get why the two last tracks by MFG. Quote
ptn Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Not my cup of tea since I mostly enjoy last two tracks and they are made by someone else (both are really good, well done Mr MFG). Oh well, moving on... Quote
