Guest jsbedard Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 Saafi Brothers - Midnight's Children Artist: Saafi Brothers Title: Midnight's Children Label: Blue Room Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. Altered Future 02. Into States Of Consciousness 03. Free Senses 04. Wellness Farm 05. Mystical Chants 06. Degravitating 07. The Deep Part 1 08. The Witness 09. The Deep Part 2 Review: Gabriel le Mar And Michael Kohlbecker deliver us an excellent new psychedelic/downtempo album. Sounds a little bit like the first album, very chilled, very soft and mellow but with new sounds. I prefer a little bit the first album for the melodies and the general ambiance but i think there's more work on this release. The track 2 is actually my favorite but the others are pretty well too. They've followed the path of the first album but with new perception of music. Very enjoyable indeed. 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skincom[at]mullum[dot]com[dot]au Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 This is ambient trance if there is such a thing.M Kohlbecker( one half of Eternal Basement) joins with Le mar to produce an excellent sounding release. Great for when the moon hangs low in the western sky just before dawn.Wellness Farm is a favorite but buy the time The Deep arrives its more pulsing and hypnotic.Blue room usually have good taste and this is no exception. An excellent addition to any set for the chilled out hours.rating 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swoop Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 My first impression of this album was that it was a little bit of a dissapointment. Could be because I concider their first album as one of the best chillout albums ever made.They also miss one of the guys from the first album. It's the same style but not as mellow at all times as the first one. But this one is has grown alot over the times I have listened to it. It's a real good album and I give it 9/10 also.

freak51 Posted July 4, 2000 Share Posted July 4, 2000 It's not as solid track-for-track as Mystic Cigarettes. In places it sounds too much like Gab's Gift/Gab's Lab. In others it just gets repetitive and bland. However, when it's good it's excellent! The record is especially strong towards its middle (tracks 3-6).

Guest [Anonymous] Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Wellness farm is a total beauty - other tunes generally excellent too - 8/10 bomble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ddrum11[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 I thought it was going to sound like the first album but then I realised that if I was a musician would I do the same thing twice, no. That's why this album is so good. If you put the two albums together you don't need any other music cause it's all there. But this album definitly has the power to stand on it's on. Well done boy's.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trance2MoveU Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What an interesting release. It can be gentle and warm and then abrasive and cold. Sometimes tracks went on a bit long, but the more gentle moments were fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
