Review:

 

Transcend Records is a japanese label, now releasing a compilation with some

great artists. Dj Sancar has selected the tracks. This compilation is mixed,

but not too much, but I would like to get the complete tracks. In the cover,

you can find out more about what Lucid Dreams is, in Japanese and English

language. It`s not very usual to see these artists on the same compilation

these days. First out is Star Sounds Orchestra from Germany. Those two guys

you see at most trance festivals around the world? They give us a nice track,

with some flute in the beginning, before hard trancey rhythms and beautiful

psychedelic sounds whirring into the track. Really good! Track two is a new

track by OOOD (Colin Bennun & Steve Callaghan)! Nice to see that they still

are releasing music. Here we get a pretty hard track, with lesser melodies

than earlier, but still a lot of crazy sounds. Track 3 is by Ofer Dikovsky

(Oforia) from Israel. he has really changed style from fantastic melodic goa,

to a more stumpy boring style. Why? Track is served by Dick Trevor, who give

us a really full on track. This one will sure make some good vibes at the

dance floor. Really nice sounds and heavy rhythms. Track 5 is a track by dj

Sancar himself. This is a really dark track with heavy guitars, and dark

sounds all the way. Then we get another track by OOOD. In the beginning we get

break beat rhythms and floating beautiful sounds. Then the hard rhythms starts

pumping along with a some crazy sounds and funky melodies. Electric Universe

give us track nr. 7. A nice melodic goa track from the veterans of trance from

Germany. Space Cat (Avi Algranati) finishes it all wih a typical Space Cat

track. Nice one, with rolling groovy rhythms, some floating parts and a nice

melody. If you are looking for some new tracks by some veterans of psytrance,

this might be something for you. A little sad that this compilation is mixed,

but away from that, it`s pretty good.
