Guest Mescalinium Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 With this release Spiral Trax continues its astoundingly high quality output. (To acidhive above, I say that Spiral Trax is by far the "best label in the bizz" right now, IMO). While yes, it could use a little more variety, it succeeds very well in what it is: a storming exposition of modern Scandinavian trance. I think credit should also be given to Noma for putting all unreleased tracks on his album, an increasing rarity in today's market. Oh, credit to Spiral Trax (again) for so many superb releases. I mean, the albums from Human Blue, Atmos and Logic Bomb were all great, but we get treated to more. Can't wait for the S-Range album. Well I'm getting sidetracked... 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaySatanicHippie Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 I already reviewed this above under the name anonymous ( forgot to put my name)and gave it 8/10. I just wanna say Track 2 "Trouble" is an absolute masterpiece, it gets better and better with every listen and deserves 10/10. Noma is essential for every psychedelic music lover, the ultimate Tunnelvision trip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MG Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 I think they are good tracks, but it is almost a demo CD rather than an album, as albums are usually more varied in the sounds that they explore, which is the same with Auricular's 1st Album on Spirit Zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5dolphins[at]web[dot]de Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 ahhhhahahah!!! yes!! that is my vision of the future of goa trance . i can not find it really minimalistic. a lot things happen in this sound. its the right music to play on open air when the sun rises ! 11/10 !!

unit_ Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 This must be one of my favorite minimalistic albums. Noma is a master when it comes to building up the tracks, in the end you'll go absolutely crazy. My favorite track on this album is Boese but I like all track very much. After reading above I saw that some people think this album should be more variated. I don't really agree since I can actually play this album over and over again without getting tired of it. My conclusion: Superiour album from Noma!! I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Prex (S-Range + Noma) album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VBRunner Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 This is one of the few progressive albums that appealed to me instantly. Just about every track is insanely driving, going on and on until your feet can't make another stomp, and probably beyond. Great atmosphere! Looking forward to the next album with high expectations!

Guest vernon sullivan Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 just a quick word for those who call this "minimal techno", if this stuff turns you off, I would advise you to never listen to any REAL minimal techno, which would make this sound like hallucinogen =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 This is good work in the new-school Swedish vein. It's not quite as deep as Vibrasphere, but it mixes well with lots of stuff and delivers a vibe from a lovely atmospheric cloud. It doesn't lean towards a commercial finish (a la Ticon or Necton), and it doesn't break into hard kick-drum head-bangin' abandon. I hate to describe music in terms of what it's not, but it seems appropriate for this CD. You can use this as transition between Swedish and German/minimalist sounds, or just smoke a fatty and let it wash over you. It's versatile yet ephemeral: two tracks later they'll forget what you played, just that they enjoyed it. It took me a while to get into the right frame of mind, but tracks #4 and #6 still strike me as special. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pantro Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 the songs starts very dark, then it keeps growing in sounds and complexity, what starts very minimal gets to a high energy hypnotic stroboscopical run, it has the kind of secuence that when it suddenly stops u feel like thrown with the inercia and think -huh? what was that?...other times u run from the begining with the progress of the song and feel how it gets very fast and super TRANCE... must say that noma's style is very different from other minimal, scando, morning, progressive, etc... trance, its more darker and hypnotic, but it isnt heavy phat bass kind. i really like this albun even that i cant hear the whole cd.... must get it...should be in everyones collection.

Guest Stimpski Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 This album is goood! It sounds like minimalistic with a psytrance-flavor (or psytrance with a minimal touch, whatever) . Ideal music to dig up your basement durt!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest herbie[at]hyperreal[dot]pl Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 It's the best LP I know for hot and stuffy summer days. Ice-cold sounds will definitely make you feel much colder than normal. I was once listening to it on my way to work, standing in a suit on a bus stop, July, 35 degrees, everybody was sweating like hell even in T-shirts, while I didn't feel the heat at all - it seemed to me that it was warm, but not hot at all. On another occasion, in winter, on a relatively warm and sunny day I played this CD and what happened? No more than 10 minutes after I started listening to it it started to snow! I think there's sth more to it than a sheer coincidence Anyway, I strongly recommend this LP for hot days. Otherwise 7/10. And you'd better not even touch the CD when you feel cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I really enjoy this album at night.. especially track #1 (Broetekoelserud). When I listen to this track, I feel like I'm Lola running in the german movie "run Lola run".9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidfatugly Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Deep, dark and hypnotic. I love it. The tracks may sound similar, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when they're all great tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Underground non melodic psychedelic trance. Very well produced album, dark and agressive (atmospheric at times) the tracks are built in a slow and smart way. It might sound repetitive for some but I like it this way - no rush the tracks progress... but slowly. 7.5/10 - Recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
