Guest Mescalinium Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 The best Vibrasphere 12" release, by far. "Nowhere" (also on "A Progress in Trance") is the first track here. Very fast and upbeat with those oh-so-lovely scando-style effects swirling around on the midrange. "Autopilot" is the real gem here, IMO. Starts out with a long intro, begins a bit slower than the first track. Quickly traverses into epic territory once the hi-hats and chorus effects kick in. Sounds somewhat like their song "Lava" on the Echo LP, only slower and darker. In any case, you can really see Vibrasphere progressing from some of their earlier releases (e.g. "The OpenSphere", "Roadtrain", "Crystal", all great tracks btw), and finding their distinctive sound. "Autopilot" is one of my favorite Vibrasphere tracks. As such, this EP gets a 9/10 from me, for two great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baboon Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Vibrasphere - Nowhere Artist: Vibrasphere Title: Nowhere Label: Transient Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. Nowhere 02. Autopilot Review: Vibrasphere are Robert Elster & Rickard Berglöf from Sweden, and they keep on impreassing me. This EP is very similar to their album who was released later on. The style on the first track is maybe somekind of mix between Atmos and Ticon sound (?), they've used their own typical "vibratic" sound [as I call it;)], heavy baseline, a wonderful break in the middle with their swirling, "vibratic" echoing sounds, and it then kicks of to the maximum, wonderful... Track 2 is the darker journey on this EP, and it's a bit slower then first one. Starts building up with an heavy bass and some creepy horrorlike sounds, and pretty much keeps on going like that to the end. First track is without doubt the better one here, as it is more of an typical Vibrasphere morning tune production, allthrough this is an great EP, worth getting!

Guest masada[at]trance[dot]net Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 One of the best 10 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akindo Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Yes, this EP is NICE! When I first heard it in a record store, I thought, wow, this is really some new sound. But maybe it wasn't so new compared to other semi-minimal releases, dunno. "Nowhere" is more progressive in my opinion. Very nice bassline and soundscape. Autopilot is a bit slower, but also very good. I don't have a favorite, I like both tracks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
