Review:

 

WHAT AN ALBUM !!!Ofer Dikovsky and Marco Goren have really made great tracks in

this one !My favorites are Track 2 : The System, and Track 4 : New Aura, but

they are all good, maybe except the last one which is not as good as the

others ...

If you find it, BUY it !!! Rating : 8.5/10

[Guest not an Israelian]

Classic album made for those who like it a little harder and a little more full

on. Classic Ofer sounds that don't disappoint.

[Guest ChrisdeeACiD]

the one that isn´t an Israelian above me here says it all... very great! Full

on! Hard.. just like we want it! The System is probably the best one with that

delisious Hi-HAT !!!!! mmMMM!! =) Alien Pump is also among the best with some

hight speed power at the end. get it! 8.5/10

[Guest Infected Max]

Ofer Dikovsky is the best...every project he works on (Oforia, Solaris, Pigs In

Space, Tandu...) are awesome!!

This album follow the Ofer "kicking" rules: Metallic sounds And fat kickdrum!!

 

Buy it now if you don't have...& buy the Solaris EP And the Oforias

albums...but don't forget his best project "PIGS IN SPACE"

[Guest Ubik]

Best album from Ofer Dikovsky : I also have Pigs in Space and Delirious, but

only half of the tracks are good on these ones. Almost every tracks on

Multimoods are great (I don't really dig Rodeo). My favorites are Alien Pump,

with a big explosion in the middle, and Virtually Distorted, which is very

fast.

[Guest Tequila]

A really great album from my old friend Ofer:)

all the tracks are good, especially Alien Pump.The melodies are really

particular, but Ofer knows the recipe to make gold with simple sounds.

excellent.

[Guest Pit-UFO]

My good friend Guy finished his set at a party with some very hard core stuff

(cochinisimo) from Shiva Space Technology. Then came the turn for another good

friend DJ Onannis, he started with RODEO. Suddenly I was like looking at a

video, people with smiles on their faces starting to run and jump gracefully

towards the speakers, after 3 minutes everybody was dancing again and a very,

very special vibe was covering the party. When that huge melody explodes in

minute 9 aprox, everybody was so turn on, so beautiful, pure magic. Music can

really make this happen, and TANDU has this precious gift. 9.8/10

[Guest uforia.1[at]email[dot]com]

The album is worth picking up for the first 3 tracks alone. "Alien Pump", "The

System" and "Naughty Moves" are absolute classic stompers, and start off the

album very promisingly. Unfortunately, the rest is rather spotty stuff. "New

Aura" is pretty good, if a little slow and New Age-y sounding. I didn't

really take to "Orca". Sounds a little too random and unfinished to me.

"Visually Distorted" and "Rodeo" could have been good, but are ruined by their

extremely annoying intros. As it is, they are OK but could have been better.

"Interstellar Dawn" is a nice way to close off the album, if a little too

sweet in the tooth for me. Overall, a good one to have in your collection,

but a little disappointing. 6.5 / 10

[Guest Guyshanti[at]isaratrance[dot]com]

This is one of the best albums I have ever had the privilege of hearing and it

deffinetly had a deep influence on my trance taste for a very long time. The

optemism that the melodies and beats achive are mindblowing. The System and

Rodeo are milestones for me.

[freak51]

"The system has been successfully used - but people in other parts of the world

need to know about the system." Is this from Scientology or something?

Fantastic sample! Gorgeous record. Interstellar Dawn is just turgid with

happiness. I love the thing in Visually Distorted where he brings in the

melody as though unfolding it out of crepe paper from the ceiling, filling in

subharmonics rather than overtones. Very crafty, pure smut. There are enough

really nice tracks on here to justify its place in any trance collection. The

best thing out of Israel in 1997 IMHO, including the Astral Projection record

that year.

[Guest djonanis[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Pit UFO has said it all.

One of the bests. Chek "rodeo" track 7, that is what I call epic trance!!!!

I love Dikovskis work and Tandu multimoods is one of my favourites. 9.5/10

[Guest cosmo[at]futaba.ne[dot]jp]

The System rates with Kay Sea Isle by Four Carry Nuts and Insectattraction by

Shanti Druid as one of the all time great tunes.

[Guest Dead74]

I would recommend this album to those of you who enjoy and take pleasure in

those really hard and nasty kicks. It's a guilty pleaure for me too! The

great thing about this album is that it doesn't just end there. The tracks

are really interesting and the parts where the bombs are dropped are sooooo

sick it'll just blow you away. I mean "Alien Pump" opens the album properly

and shows Ofer's talent and skills. Not only it's bad-ass, it also has

beautiful psychedelic melodies to keep things interesting. Those of you who

are somewhat disillusioned by the new Israeli acts must go back to this and

regain faith. My personal favorite is "the system," which is such a wicked

track! I see this album as Ofer's true skills 'cause I know he's not so hot

on other albums... but it's all good 'cause when I saw Oforia, he was just so

ridiculously hard and full-on I had to dance my ass off...and just when I

thought he was done, he came back with even harder and louder kicks... Ofer

you are the man. For "multimoods," I give 8/10.

[Guest Ehsanur]

Dare I say that this beats the shit out of any Infected Mushroom release ?.

I've heard a lot of israeli goa and this is lightyears better than for

instance Infected Mushroom. Oforia/Pigs in Space/Solaris/Indoor/ Inscape/

Tandu is what makes me watch the sky and ask myself: Was this fella abducted

by small green men from outer space?

If yes,then I'm sure Ofer played some of this stomping music for our

spacemates. What else is so energetic, pumping,twisting,turning and burning.

Yes,he is a phatness-guru and melody-wizard. There is nothing more to add:

Ofer is a lean mean beat-machine! Stunning? Yes

Stunned? Oh yeah! 10*/10 *=infinity

 

Flowers for all.... Eshanti Brahman

[Guest Slidingtrancer]

This takes me away after a long day. Very full-on Oferish melodies that will

kick ass at any party, maybe except a few song there

I like the song with the hardcore/gabber bassdrum in it :-)

[Guest slinker]

really good album...an oldish release but it sounds very fresh and futuristic,

the first 3 tracks are mindblowing and then theres alot of variety and

blissful melodies towards the end..i really didnt want it to end!! 9/10

if you can find it..buy it

[Guest Sheshbesh007]

The BEST album I've ever heard........

The System really gives itself a 10/10 !

 

[Guest jsb]

Flawless album, Israeli classic!

10/10

Rodeo, the system and the rest really rocks

[Guest Zyloon]

BRILLIANT! "the system has been successfully used, but people in other parts of

the world need to know about the system. In many places people suffering

tuberculosis take drugs for a short time. The drugs are not taken long

enough." - I love this track and the rest.

[Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA]

Alien Pump is probably one of the best nighttime dancefloor songs ever. It

starts off with a very steady nice beat, slowly starts building and building,

then wham, one of the best head fucker upper, adrenaline pumping totally crazy

kicks I have ever heard. It is the song that Zoo-B played in the Karahana

Movie and you can just see how everyone goes nuts. One of the best tracks of

all time. This CD is worth it for that track alone, and you won't be

disapointed with the rest of the tracks either. All great Ofer style.

[Guest goapsytrance[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Jason, your description of Alien Pump couldn't be more on point. It just gets

you into a hard and fast groove, and then at 2:49, BAM!!! Ofer drops the BOMB

in the form of INSANE DARK ACID CRAZINESS. Then he drops the bomb again at

5:08, and again at the big explosion near the end of the song. And the way he

builds and breaks is just perfect?its just like sex leading tantrically up to

orgasm, holding on the edge of ecstasy as long as possible, and then, when the

buildup has become inexorable, sweet release. And he does it 3 times in less

than 9 minutes! Then one of the best nighttime songs ever gives way to one of

the best morning songs ever. I really like the way the little morning

melodies creep in amidst the metallic acid sounds as the song progresses,

until it explodes like the breaking of the dawn. Naughty Moves is yet another

stomper, with that awesome gabber kickdrum. Then comes New Aura, a melodic

tour de force where Ofer shows us his softer side. This track is really nice

to cool down at the end of a good party. Orca is probably the worst track on

this album, which is an indication of how good it is. Then, things pick up

again with Visually Distorted, hard, acidy, and fast, like they should be.

That song really makes me feel like my senses are visually distorted. Rodeo

has that nice bouncy feel at the beginning and that wonderful melody at the

end. Interstealer Dawn closes the album in proper morning style. This album

is a fucking masterpiece and everybody must have it. 10/10

[Guest Gamma Goblin]

naughty moves is one of the best tracks ever made. the rest of the tracks are

really awesome too. buy this album or stay stupid

[Guest [Anonymous]]

visually distorted:just shut up and listen

[Guest Davidtolsn]

is there something wrong with me? i think this is a bad cd! the only tracks i

like are 1 and 4, and the system is ok. all of those are available on comps.

this sounds like nintendo music. when i listen to most of these tracks, i can

almost see myself playing ninja gaiden. seriously - most of these melodies are

just BAD. and the production isn't the greatest. if you want to test your

tolerance for pain, listen to the last track 10 times in a row... 5/10 (for

alien pump and the cool cover)

The ultra classic album from the Indoor ex-members Ofer Dikovsky and Marco Goren remains one of the best album in Psy history. Classic melodies, power and full energy in a time when Israeli Psy was unbelievable. Few words for the tracks:

Alien Pump: One of the most popular Goa tracks! Fast with airy sounds and jumping melodies and one of the most effective build-up’s ever. It builds and builds and builds until it blasts you with the classic final melody. Kinda old-school full on (not to be confused with the todays meaning of the term). Sooper-dooper-classic!!!

The System: A bit darker but still melodic, totally uplifting with an eastern touch (like the whole album) but not cheesy at all! The last minutes are very nostalgic and beautifully melancholic. Awesome!

Naughty Moves: Simply one of the best tracks of all-time. Distorted kick, powerful bass, power and melodies from another world. Uplifting, energetic, maximal. The climax at the minute 7’ makes me go mad!!! The classic of the classics!!!

New Aura: Slower track but incredibly beautiful. Emotional and deeply nostalgic, all together with smooth melodies and liquid sounds. Wonderful track!

Orca: Again nostalgic track with strange sounds and happy melodies. Not a killer track, but a tune which will touch your heart. Love it!

Visually Distorted: Get me the todays most killer track. Get me a track with a killer bassline, 150 bpm, non stop fx madness and crystal production. It hasn’t a chance against this! This is power stuff, no bullshit. So much energy, so much power and the of the most uplifting melody ever written! Sorry guys but this is the true KILLARGH!!!!

Rodeo: Hard, epic, beautiful and psychedelic. A great track until the moment of 7’40’’, cause after that moment everything is history. An incredible 100% Dikovsky melody hits your ears and shock your mind. The beaty of this melody can’t be described with words…..

Interstealer Dawn: Another great tune in the well known Ofer’s style. Not something superb, but still very good. Very energetic and uplifting again, the bassline is awesome.

 

Overall? A MUST-HAVE for every music lover. An absolute masterpiece. An album that makes you wonder how Ofer produces such average tracks today.
