Yes this one kicks some ass for sure!

i like the new Orion Vs Astrix stuff even more than this.. there is so good

quality in this cd and so many nice tracks so this one is a relly killer!

Amazing album with full of energy and imagination. I had only one listening so

far, and I like it very much. Most people writes that it will grow on you

after some listenings. It has already grown on me ;)

well, uh.. definite evolution from futuristic poetry. definitely better and

more refined sounding. but i still don't like it. like futuristic poetry,

there is nothing special about it. it just sounds generic. hard to pin-point

why, but i do not like this much... although tracks 5-6 are nice. 5.5/10

Just discovered this album (not much psy in witness protection). Kind of surprised it doesn't get more recognition. Twisty, crunchy leads. Reminds me of an uptempo version of Cosmosis "Synergy". I liked almost every track. Pot Alert sounds like voodoo on acid. Highly recommended.

Ever been so sick that you didn't know whether to sit on the toilet or pray to all that is holy in front of it? And have it go on all night?

 

Happened to me a couple of days ago to what I attribute to food poisoning.

 

Damn you improperly cooked chicken! Delicious and deadly.

 

This is the 2nd album for the Orion project which many of you will recognize as Jean Borelli. It took awhile for me to absorb the complexities of their first Futuristic Poetry, but once I did I was a better person for it. Snow seemed whiter and flowers smelled sweeter. This follows in the same vein as did the debut in that it's not a pure goa trance album per se. There are touches of the goa vibe even though at this time goa was almost all the way out of the picture. Mainly it's all about the intricacies of psytrance being dark and futuristic with layers of effects heaped on top of each other like a fat man's hamburger.

 

Of particular interest to me was the juicy (getting hungry) Pot Alert with it's thick acid blasts and evil nature. Future Funk revives the goa with a 303 and dark pads as does Lamfighter. There are a lot of metallic dare I say industrial machinery type effects which give it that steampunk kinda vibe. The tracks have some minimal qualities as well and this is where I think it loses some steam as sequences tended to drag on a little long. But there are great moments in every track which made this a great listen. Just like with the debut it's quite creative and I believe it can be really appreciated with headphones. You won't find any stormers here, but you will find some sinister creatures lurking in the shadows.
