Children Posted January 18, 2000 Share Posted January 18, 2000 Miranda - The Northern Lights Artist: Miranda Title: The Northern Lights Label: Goldhead Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 02'04" Intro 02. 07'45" Anaesthetic 03. 07'36" Gnocchi (Rmx) 04. 07'09" Lynx 05. 06'18" Mantra 06. 06'58" Guitars And Tatoos 07. 07'40" Eyedentify 08. 04'39" Mars Needs Women (Antiloop Album Version) 09. 07'41" Earth And Space 10. 08'39" U Are Alone 11. 08'40" Feel The Effect Review: Another GOOD Miranda's album :-) I would prefer there is no Track 8 (because it's a too short Track to get into it, but it seemed good), but that's a good album anyway !At the beginning Miranda will explain you what are Northern Lights, then the album starts slowly ... Of course, if you don't like Miranda's style, you won't like this album, but if you like her style you'll think it's her best album ever released :-) Best Tracks are 7 and 11 (Track 11, Feel The Effect, is by far her BEST Track) !

Guest oberheim[at]home[dot]se Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 Oh, I liked this album a lot after some time. I guess I like the Miranda style. My favorite track is however the slow track 10, U are alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Infected Max Posted January 27, 2000 Share Posted January 27, 2000 Sorry...i don't like Miranda I'm fed up with her boring style! No innovation...but anyway i talked to her when she played here (Bordeaux France) And she's quite cool..but her live was wrong...she only plays DAT. Not a real live like Total Eclipse do...it's a bit disapointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jax Posted February 1, 2000 Share Posted February 1, 2000 I think the whole album is perfect and I don't really think it's boring! Hear track 4 or 7 with some pot and you will understand what I'm saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

implant Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 blah...very poor album from miranda...no innovation...and fuckin' boring with the capital B...but after all "eyedentify" is a cool song...and the worst song here is "Mars needs women"...she shouldn't put that up on cd...it sounds like some shitty tune from viva music channel...argh....;( ...oh i almost forgot another shit tune, "Mantra"...WE DON'T NEED HOUSE TUNES ON PSY-TRANCE ALBUMS!!! Miranda i hope that you'll read this...If i want house i would buy some shit morales or something like that...but i don't feel like throwing my money away;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest djonanis[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted May 11, 2000 Share Posted May 11, 2000 I agree with max. I dislike mirandas style and I noticed no evolution on this album, and I found some excesive pride in it: "My music is all you need"? what the **** 1.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F-AcTivE Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Don't be so hard boyz ! she is only a girl =) , a swedish girl buy the way , This shit is working on the dance floor ...that's for sure , I think it's an Ok'ay album , 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Miranda tend to repeat herself, and because her style is not my favorite in PsyTrance, it gets boring after a while. And WHY oh WHY did she put the god-awful Antiloop remix on the ALBUM? It simply does not fit in. She has a couple of nice melody lines though, as usual (***) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eppers Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 On my way to Lapland, I bought this CD, only because of its name, for only 10 Finmarks (a bit over 1,5 Euros). For that price the album is ok, but I think it will be boring after 5 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psykedelik-Fredik Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 I think this album is very good, Mirandas songs are so cool!!! She is the best swedish trance-artist there is. Gnocchi is the best track but I miss the original remix of Mars Needs Women (one of the best songs I´ve ever heard) which had made the CD complete. Why has the arch-onions Antiloop their shitversion on the album, is it a try to make more people buy it, by working with a more commersiel group?

Guest DarkSeed909[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 Wow. Tough crowd here. This album is great. It sounds like the majority of people who reviewed this album don't like melodies because that's what Miranda is best at. This album is much better than Real Rush, and has a great flow. Nice hard hits in the bass, sweet harmonious melodies follow. And so what if Antiloop has a mix on here? I should remind everyone here that just because you listen to goa and psy doesn't mean that you're too good for regular trance anymore. The Antiloop remix is very catchy, and I played it the other day at a club I have a residency at, and it moved the floor like you wouldn't believe. Great album, great soundz. Enjoy this one! 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest silver_1[at]telia[dot]com Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Hmmmm.... Well....Hope the next album "Asynja" will kick more for you,guys.Anyway.... Trance is for peace and keep up the good spirit and bla bla bla..... And dont forget to practice more in the studios,boys. ¤¤¤ C Y Miranda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aqualine[at]home[dot]com Posted December 13, 2000 Share Posted December 13, 2000 If you like the newstyle minimalistic stuff (and it seems a lot of people on here do) then you probably won't like this album. However, if you prefer the oldstyle melodic Goa, then I would highly recommend that you pick this one up. Some very nice tunes on here, including Anaesthetic, Gnocci(rmx), Lynx, Mantra and most especially "Feel The Effect", which is her best tune to date. The only one I didn't particularly go for is "Guitars and Tattoos". Anyway, it's nice to see that Miranda hasn't switched her style and is still making nice melodies.

Guest Zodiac[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 I like the dark minimal and heavey psytrance more but I must say that this is a great album release by Miranda...the swedish girl... Track 2, 4, 6 and 7 is just fuckin exellent...but T8 is so bad that I just want to puke...Antiloop sucks so bad that they should be down and buried along time ago...fuckin euro club disco....but the rest of the album is good...8.5/10. Im from the north of Sweden...so I have seen the Northern lights some times and it is sooooooooo beautiful... Trance for peace.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted May 16, 2001 Share Posted May 16, 2001 (Track 1) Intro- very interesting, unique way of explaining the Northern Lights. 3.5/5 (Track 2) Anaesthetic- This kicks ass for a driving song, but what the hell are those mixed lyrics? They suck, get them out! 4/5 (Track 3) Gnocchi- Quite cool, nice beat. 3/5 (Track 4) Lynx- Some really nice acid sounds but nothing new. 2.5/5 (Track 5) Mantra- Now this beat reminds me of her last album, decent at best with a pleasing ambient background. 3.5/5 (Track 6) Guitars and Tatoos- Miranda has such kickass beats, but then you hear that FUCKING electric guitar. However, it will grow on you after listening to this several times. This song builds up and levels off nicely. 4.6/5 (Track 7) Eyedentify- Yes, oh yes, just wait for that climax break after 4:30! Finally, a track most people will love. 3.5/5 (Track 8) Mars needs woman- Uplifting, fun dance song is WAY TO FUCKING SHORT! Still, it is not as bad as you all say it is. 4/5 (Track 9) Earth and Space- Much more spacey, a lot more psychedelic. What is that tune being played? It's awesome. 3.5/5 (Track 10) U are Alone- Some very beautiful ambient sounds mixed with less intense percussion, gets a little repetitive towards the end. 4.9/5 (Track 11) Feel the Effect- ARE YOU HAPPY NOW! THIS TRACK IS FUCKING AWESOME. Powerful sounds, wicked layers, sweet voice mixing, and it evolves! Listen to this track with the volume up, UP, and you will FEEL THE EFFECT! Final score:: 4.1/5 and/or 8.2/10. Track 7 and 11 own the cd and the others are very cool depending on the mood that you are in. Worth buying? Listen to track 7 and 11 and you answer that one.

Guest the ANT Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 GUITARS AND TATTOOS is THE BEST TRACK on this album!!! Hands down, i have NEVER heard anyone utilize a guitar sound the way she did. Guitars have no place in music like this but this is an exception. Perfectly executed. If your looking for innovation in this album its this track. At one point she creates a couple of, what sounds like, 'bird' sounds with a guitar. I was on XTC when i heard it in my room. I have big ass speakers, and i was compelled by this song to lie down right next to one of them with my ears right against it. Oh yea....the rest of the album is HOT too, although nothing compared to Guitars & Tattoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
