Guest AtomikElf Posted March 9, 2000 Share Posted March 9, 2000 it is definitely the best cd they've produced. and i really enjoyed it, although i don't listen to it that often anymore, when i did, i really enjoyed the vividly panoramic landscapes it flew me by, and was pleasantly seduced by the melting flowing softly driving psychedelic sounds that seemed to flush thru me. 7/10 (with a smile on my face) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tequila Posted March 10, 2000 Share Posted March 10, 2000 California Sunshine - Nasha Artist: California Sunshine Title: Nasha Label: Phonokol Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 10'28" Other Line 02. 08'05" Last Feeling 03. 08'09" Never Stop 04. 08'51" X-Wave 05. 07'13" Jajo 06. 07'41" Tokyo Underground 07. 07'27" Red Line 08. 07'47" Born Again 09. 08'27" Rain Review: I really was attempting a lot from this album of California Sunshine because a lot of people were saying Nasha was the best one they made.OK, it's probably the truth, but it's not positive for them because their best isn't excellent.Of course, it's nice goatrance, typically israeli, with high sounds and clear melodies, but it's too classic.Nasha is enjoyable to listen to, but nother more, it doesn' make me fly or trip like some others goa albums.Thus, it's a medium album we have here, , and excepted if you are fond of israeli goa, there are a lot of better albums to buy first.Best track Rain. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted March 12, 2000 Share Posted March 12, 2000 Not bad, not excellent either. This is some nice israeli trance, but the tracks are too repetitive for me. I love Last Feeling, which really makes me fly 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest patrick.balboni[at]ping[dot]be Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 "Great album from California Sunshine, I'd say an amazing CD, probably the best artists CD of 1998. The father of Goa (Har-Ell Prusky) is at work. My favorite tracks are numbers 1,2,3,6 and 7. "Last Feeling" and "Red line" are absolutely fabulous. They are (Israeli) oriental tunes as I like them.

Guest jperzzon[at]telia[dot]com Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 You must get this cd! If you have heard the previous 2 cd:s with CS and didn't like it, u gonna like this! This is the best album they have done so far. It starts with "Other Line" and that track is brilliant done. With some nice bass changing sounds. Last Feeling is excellent and Never stop is the "big" experience track, with very changing melodies and one of the coolest cd-riff I have ever heard! This cd includes only well-producted melodies and every single track has something special! This is a master piece.. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted March 27, 2000 Share Posted March 27, 2000 Am I the only one who's blown away by X-Wave? Those freaked-out alien cow noises and the X-Dreamy bass-line [no surprise, it's Rough And Rush]. Otherwise there are some decent tracks and some filler. But if you don't have X-Wave, Other Line and Last Feeling you'll want this record. And I hate every other disc CS has ever produced with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.

Guest mrsyed Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 This is California Sunshine's best effort and release. On this release they have managed to succesfully meld the emotional melodies with the most beautiful sounds. Every track is so beautifully done, and each succesive track so coherent to the previous. It's hard to achieve such a Feat The beauty of this album does not fade, I still find joy and elation when I listen to this album almost 1 1/2 years later. Don't listen to the other 2 albums including the latest one because they don't even come close the the majesty contained within. A classic in the veins of Tandu, Chakra and Edi Mis, Indoor.

Guest Hagai Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Well i think it's undoubtfully California Sunshine's best release and of the best artists album to the year 1998 (They released a new CD not long ago called Flying Eye-Land,actually i agree that this album is not what you call "wicked" goa-trance , the only really wicked track here in no.4 X-Wave that California Sunshine made together with the legendary X-Dream , There are some very good cooperations here with some great names (The Muses Rapt-Juan , X-Dream , and Boris Blenn). But don't try to listen to this album as a "wicked" goa-trance , listen to it as a beautiful psychedelic trance from two great masters Har-Ell Prusky and DJ Miko that know what they are doing and they do it very well , it's a very complex piece of work and it is very pleasent to the ear , when i put this album on I listen to it as a something between chill-out and wicked , in this way I consider it as a masterpiece indeed. I really like all tracks but my favorites are no. 1,4,6 and the amazing Rain which is the most beautiful emotional track i have ever heard! this fabulous melody makes me wanne dance in the rain with a tear in my eye .

Guest F-AcTivE Posted September 27, 2000 Share Posted September 27, 2000 This album is OK, not more ..not less , The album starts really good.. i like the first 4 tracks , X-Wave is a killer ! ..probaly the only killer track on this album , If u are a CS-fan u ..will like this a lot , if not... u'r like me .. and i give this 6/10 =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carahana Posted November 25, 2000 Share Posted November 25, 2000 This is the best CS album. Amazing melodies, full of emotions and absoloutely worth the buy.'Rain' is the most beautiful track to end this cd with, and it makes you want to wish this album will never end:) X-dream collaborated to make a pure killer, and jajo will make you think of a crimson sky:) This is a cornerstone for israeli trance and the real goa spirit!

Guest Snow Dog Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 CS have gotten a bad rap in the past, but this is one amazing album. Listening to it, you feel like you're in the middle of an action film, with beautiful cinematography & special effects. Maybe the storyline is a little murky, but hey, that's half the fun! Classic Israeli cyber-trance. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Goa and feelings rarely mix together... this album is one of these rare moments... I love all the songs, especially Jajo, but what does X-Wave have to do with this album??? OK, so it's a collaboration with "masters" X-Dream, so what? It's horrible! You have a good gabber-inspired synth line, but once you hear it contantly for almost 9 minutes, it's just plane boring... But 8 out of 9 very good tracks is not that bad... Remains one of my top albums: 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Extremely good album, maybe the best from the group.It is very hypnotic, as usual with Har Ell...Some very good collaborations too on an album...but the best ones remain their own...OTHER LINE ( One of the best on album, extremely hypnotic and utopical ), LAST FEELING, JAJO, RED LINE, BORN AGAIN ( stunning song, really primal ), RAIN ( great emotional piece with Boris Blenn )...So, very good album...9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidtolsn Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 not a big california sunshine fan... but this is probably their best album. it's darker in some places than i would expect. there are a few bad tracks, some average tracks, and some good ones (1, 4, 5, 6). 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2pir Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Great album. Melodies and feelings are wrapped up in a great production. As someone stated this is not "wicked" music; it's rather quiet and peaceful, not something you need to blast the speakers with to feel anything. I really like all the tracks here. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cocco Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I occasionally forget how strong this album is until I listen to it. The one super stand out song for me on this album is Born Again. The opening is great too. Just don't focus on the music so much, be open without thought and you'll better join that psychedelic vibration. It's very present and well composed in several of the tracks here. Other Line is wonderful. I've updated my short review above. This is my favorite album by California Sunshine aka Har-el. I hope he makes another and has Suntrip Records release it, assuming he can pull off a super new school Goa (with old school influence) album. I'd love to hear more wonderful songs from this artist if that's at all possible. I was very interested to see he produced a track for the 2008 Sundrops compilation. Update: His track on Sundrops is VERY interesting. I wonder if he still produces strong Goatrance. That would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaman of sound Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I think it is a magnificent piece of art! in March 2008 i was in a party with Har-ell, Afgin, Sanman and Chakra, and har-ells set took me man years back..... when he played "Other Line" Afgin and i were in a very deep Karahana! after i vame home i have listened to this album every day during a month or so.. and now i can honestly say that my love to california sunshine had come to me again!
