Review:

 

Johannes Reigner and Charles Michaud a.k.a Walhalla from Paris are both

graduated from great sound ingeneering Colleges, the first specialised in

music, the second in cinema. In 1999, they decide to merge into WalhaIla, a

project dedicated to produce a groovy and funky tribal techno-trance. Very

soon, they are spoted thanks to their imaginative, original -but mainly- their

unique style. Walhalla has signed on various great french and international

labels such as Ketuh records (Portugal), Moon Spirits (France ), Sub Machine

records (France)... appearing on compilations as well as LPs. The duet

performed on stage next to famous names of electronica and is one of the most

uprising band of the french Trance movement. My opinion is 9/10

This is a great piece of work....the french trance scene is the very versitle

and ranges from minimal/trible/progressive through psyfullon and even goa

melodic,this album is pure trible at its best....crisply produced

tracks....great floow to the album and every song is were it should be....no

surprises(good or bad).

A good atmosphere music,to get things warming up on the dance floor and there

are 2-3 stompers here that can swipe an entire clan of party people into a

trance frenzy(hippocamp,purple shrimp...)

all in all 7/10...

very nice album....most songs including a hidden melodie or a little sample

taken from other famous tracks like Bitmonx - Erdbeer Kiwi ( in purple

shrimps ) or Missing Times - Civil Engineering ( in Unfulfilled Prophecy ) ...

a successful experiment of new styles ( 8,5 / 10 )

I liked most of the previous Walhalla trax release on various EP's and

compilations and I have to say that they haven't disappointed me with this

album either so, thumbs up to the french duo for their good work. Firs;t I'd

like to comment that his ain't house music! This is what some people would

call minimal progressive psy trance. It's quite minimal with very well

engineered sounds (no wonder given that the guys are sound engineers ;) and

most trax have some kind of progression going on in them with little melodies

and other sounds blending and filling in nicely.

I would also say that a couple of trax might not be everyones cup of tea but

there are floor stompers like purple shrimp that just have to put a smile on

yer face... all in all great for minimal lovers and people who aren't afraid

of something slightly out of the ordinary and like to admire superb sound

quality and engineering. My mark (8/10)

I'm not quite into psytrance, more into full on, but I must say that I like

this album. It has a "locomotive" in it ... keep running and running ... Some

soomth psychedelic lines finishes the work. Conclusion: if you don't have it

yet, worth listinging (and buying)
