Eternal Basement - Magnet

[Guest AlexG]

agreed...highly intellegent, very beautiful stuff! probably the only minimal

release that i can listen to the whole cd in one go and not be bored but

instead think "wow this is beautiful"! nothing like the more progressive

techno of son kite or intact instinct, or the percussive riffs of Three Point

Turn, this stuff is very hormonious and beautiful, and in the middle of the cd

even goes into driving psy-trance for a while; and by the way i like the

orchestral experiments. one of the best albums of the year for sure! 9.5/10

just because no matter how good something is, there is always room for

improvement

Review:

 

One half of the saafi bros makes up this duo but don,t think chill

ambient.

techno trance is more of an apt description.The album is journey like

from its fake orchestral begginigs which lead into pure driving trance

by the middle of the cd.One would think that alot of thought has gone

into the choice of sounds and placement of them in the stereo

field.favorites for sets are 1999 and lost in music altough its hard not

to like any of the tracks.Lovers of harder trance don,t be put off by

the intro track as even it has a surprise waiting. goa head and get it

friends its a must. rating 9/10

love and light Richard :-)

Totally beautiful, i agree with the other posts very intelligent, i loved

it the first time i heard it and it only gets better.. this goes to show a lot

of openmindedness and progression of the genre... i love hearing classical

instruments mixed in with my trance

one of the best sit down and chill albums as yet.. keep up the great work EB...

9/10

Ehh. Maybe I have to listen to it a dozen times or something: The Delta,

Infected Mushroom and Cydonia already 'do' Orchestral Manoevres in their Dark

(tee hee - showing my age) and I don't think this is so deep we need another

sub-sub-genre. Cut it out a'ready. Even the tracks in the middle need ...

something? ... but for a couple. 10/10 for effort, 6/10 for achievement so

far. It might grow on me.

I listened to this one again on the 401 from Kingston to Toronto - i.e., pretty

much no other stimulus. and I must admit that once we get away from the

freaking violins, I do enjoy this one. It still seems about 10 BPM too slow

though. The production is excellent.

Probably my best buy in 6 months or so! This is not psytrance, more like techno

with definitely psychedelic influences. But like the others I agree that this

is actually really beautiful! I guess progressive trance doesn't have to be

that dark afterall. This is more mellow and relaxing! Plur - Psylent Buddhi

I like the old Harthouse version of Taking Place in You,

It's Faster!!! Can't remember the rest of the album, will re-listen to it ASAP

[Guest ower[at]skrzynka[dot]pl]

I love this album, the most intelligent, beautifule stuff i ever hear !!!

Very serious and intelligent album. Track 2,3 and 7,8,9 like Juno Reactor and I

think it`s the biggest commendation I can say....
