Most of the artists are french (POF= Product Of France), but some artists are from elsewhere. Though this is a compilation, the style is generally the same throughout. Most of this is morning trance and a bit like Prana, but much softer and with worse melodies and sounds. The in addition the tracks don't evolve enough. As most of the tracks aren't good, the samey-aspect makes this compilation even more boring than it would be if the tracks were different.The only good track on this compilation is CD1, track 9, which is nice uplifting trance (not spectacular, though). CD1 track 1 is also ok, but the rest of CD1 is very boring. Tracks 5, 6 and 8 are average, the rest are bad. CD2 is a bit better than CD1, with tracks 3 (the track nearest to Prana-style), 4 (which is nicely different in style) and 9 (with nice breaks) being ok to almost good and tracks 2, 5, 6 and 8 being listenable. Tracks 1 and 7 are really the only bad ones. The more I listen to this comp, the more it irritates me and when I listened to this again to write this review, I had to refrain myself from turning it off. 3,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrsyed Posted March 30, 2000 Share Posted March 30, 2000 I disagree. This is a superb compilation. During the time it was released, POF offered a unique collection of tracks that separated itself from most of the other British and Israeli release. There is absolutely no crime in being melodic and even less so being highly emotional. Track 1 on CD1, is the prime example, for once you are bouyed into believing that it's a new age track before the mind numbing display of synth fury embalms you. This is what I look for in most psy trance tracks. The emotional content, a far cry from the minimal and cold psy trance of today. Music like this are a dying breed, sure you get the usual crap of melodic trance out, but gone are the ethereal qualities, the emotional turmoil the angst that prevailed in the pioneering tracks that exist in this comp. Savor this comp, enjoy it like the release from Digital Sun, Doof, Hallucinogen, Xdream's early album, since you will no longer enjoy the music like this in months or years to come.

seraph Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 This is such strange compilation of many great goa tracks and some rather mediocre pretentious and silly psy attempts. I like this french psychedelic trance, it is highly melodic with many oriental melodies and harmonies and good spacey effects. CD 1 has stunning tracks : THE PLATFORM, LADY NEUTRON, SULPHUR SPRING, INTRIGUE ( ! ), DAY OF THE DEAD NIGHT, LUMBUMBASHI...CD 2 contains some trash but the good ones are : COLOR OF MY DREAM, DAISHONIN ( ! ), ASYMPTOTE ( ! ), CTHUGHA, TRAIA, AURA GENOVA...8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
