Guest Tequila Posted February 16, 2000 Posted February 16, 2000 MFG - The Prophecy Artist: MFG Title: The Prophecy Label: Phonokol Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. 07'28" The Prophecy 02. 07'31" Magnetic Activity 03. 07'21" Alternate Dimension 04. 09'17" Overload 05. 09'25" Illumination 06. 07'32" New Horizon 07. 09'11" Hypnotised 08. 10'48" Shape The Future (Future Rmx) 09. 07'39" Mystic Dawn Review: This album of MFG is really a great one.Nice tracks, good melodies and typic israelian, The prophecy is nearly as good as New Kind Of World.It's a pleasure to listen to the whole CD in one shot, but we can distinguish the best track, illumination(really excellent).Nevertheless, we can see in this first album of MFG that they was not perfectly skilled at this moment.We see that in the too big contrast there is sometimes beetwen some sounds wich are not perfectly suiting together.8/10 Quote
Guest Ubik Posted February 19, 2000 Posted February 19, 2000 Hum, don't know what to say on this one... There are some great melodies (the one in Illumination), but the sound is really to israeli for me, and it lacks the skill of Astral Projection. I prefer the 2 other MFG Album New Kind of World and Project Genesis. Quote
Guest ChrisdeeACiD Posted March 13, 2000 Posted March 13, 2000 I really don't understand why exactly everyone loves "illumination" so god damn much! I actually think it sux! The melodie sounds completely wrong and..!! argh... "Overload" is the best there is! My favourite track by M.F.G together with Why? 7/10 Quote
Guest AtomikElf Posted March 22, 2000 Posted March 22, 2000 pretty neat album. beautiful cover, and lovely music. very enjoyable listening. i'm glad i bought it. 7/10 Quote
Children Posted March 28, 2000 Posted March 28, 2000 Good CD :-) No Bad Tracks, 3 Favourites : Tracks 2,4,5 ! Pure MFG-style, much more melodious than Project Genesis ! I really recommend anyone who don't have them to buy this album and New Kind Of World :-) Rating : 7.5/10 Quote
Guest chu42f[at]bangor[dot]ac[dot]uk Posted May 3, 2000 Posted May 3, 2000 One of the best trance cd's around. Still works as well as the first day I heard it.The Symbiosis version of this cd has slightly different track listing-"Maya Moon" and "space travel" replace "new horizon" and "mystic dawn". Quote
Guest Magic Plant Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 I like to dance and this music suits well for it. It's hard to pick any favourites, but maybe it would be Magnetic Activity and Illumination. The first three minutes of the Prophecy are very good also. Quote
Guest SpaceCowboy2002[at]hotmail[dot]c Posted July 18, 2000 Posted July 18, 2000 Their debut album, and they make quite a good entrance. As ?The Prophecy? goes, ?One will come, voice from the outer world, which will cleanse the universe and bring us out of darkness.? This album certainly brings me out of the darkness. Variant coherence, coherent variation, any way you slice it, the sonic goodness is here. And is that the voice of Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek on track 2: Magnetic Activity? Nice touch. Very nicely put together. They gotz skills. Thank you, may I have another? 9 out of 10. Quote
Guest sysweed Posted October 13, 2000 Posted October 13, 2000 I very much liked this album from the beginning. There was no need to listen to it over and over again to understand it. This is probably because the songs are melodious and energious. My favourites are The Prophecy (T1), Alternate Dimension (T3) and Illumination (T5). Easy to digest and nice to dance to. Score: 8/10 Quote
Honguito Posted November 8, 2000 Posted November 8, 2000 Damn!!! While listening throught this album I really got the impression that this was a message from God! "Overload","Illumination" and "Mystic Dawn are three fantastic tracks!! I give the album the rating 9/10 Quote
Guest tux[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted November 19, 2000 Posted November 19, 2000 I just got this album after been listening to "New kind of world". It is certainly a cool album with lot af great morning tracks. Especially I find the bassline very dynamic and full of life. All tracks are great..I am exicited about their new release "The message"! So, if you are into trance with lot af developed sounds and stomping basslines, go check MFG out!! Rating: 8/10 Quote
Guest swetrancer Posted November 30, 2000 Posted November 30, 2000 wopsie, good one here.. 9/10 Quote
Guest _megatron Posted December 17, 2000 Posted December 17, 2000 VERY complicated album i own the Symbiosis version, with "Maya Moon" and "Space Travel", which are excellent tracks! this sounds like early Astral Projection, but only a lot better, more psychedelic. "Alternate Dimension" and "Overload" are quite impressive. great melodies, wicked psychedelia... 9.5/10 Quote
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted February 21, 2001 Posted February 21, 2001 This is a true classic in every perspective. I just got this at a local cdshop. As goa is a no real big scene in Holland he wondered what cd he had in store. He looked kinda suprised he got it. Anyway, as for the cd, pure 96 mayhem. This goa is still my favourite stuff, melodic and soothing. ' Alternate Dimension' is nice and so is every other track on this cd. Consistency-level is very high here. I got New Kind Of World and really like this better, though it's maybe less interesting productionally. It has more spirit i reckon :-) 9/10 Quote
Jon Cocco Posted May 19, 2001 Posted May 19, 2001 Good for a first MFG cd. Some parts get VERY psychedelic, e.g., Illumination. Some songs are noticeable weaker than others. Track 8, for example is too drawn out, and quite uninspiring until the end. The album's PROS far out weight the CONS though. Tasty, psychedelic and easy to digest combinations of catchy, driving synth melodies and strong development make this debut a cult classic in Goa Trance! That said, their following THREE sequels are superior to The Prophecy IMO. Though to be fair, even The Prophecy has tracks that top a few songs off EVERY MFG sequel to date. Believe that. That said, MFG built on this AP-inspired style (that does many things of its own) debut. But they REALLY broke away with their sequels... the dark and edgy Project Genesis (!!), the elaborate and cosmic melody fusion New Kind of World (!!!), and the unique combining ideas from all three plus a few new tricks and a few less masterpiece tracks The Messenger (!). 8/10 Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 11, 2001 Posted July 11, 2001 This is so far the best MFG album. I admire every song on this disc and it still makes me wild when I hear it. A MUST HAVE ALBUM! Quote
Guest www.andrewelick.com Posted October 18, 2001 Posted October 18, 2001 Worst album for MFG. All melodies the same. 'Frog' melodies. 1/10 Quote
Guest loozaq[at]swinoujscie.com[dot]pl Posted December 16, 2001 Posted December 16, 2001 in my opinion it'a a very good album, a classic one, MFG rox! 9/10 Quote
khogg Posted February 2, 2002 Posted February 2, 2002 Overload! What a track. This CD is classic. It has a few wicked tracks and many standout moments but also some weak ones. The whole CD has got that classic melodic goa-trance sound. I don't think it's as Astral copy (like some have said or implied). However, it does have a similar effect on the listener. It's in the Astral genre, no doubt. If you only get one MFG CD, get New Kind of World. If you get two or more, get this one too Quote
seraph Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 This album is up there with essential Goa Trance albums of all time. It is the ultimate classic. MFG are with Astral Projection melodic masters from Israel and it shows. This album is one of the most psychedelic melodic works ever. This doesn't need longer review coz by now most of you know about it. ESSENTIAL ! Favourite tracks are : THE PROPHECY, MAGNETIC ACTIVITY, ALTERNATE DIMENSION, OVERLOAD, ILLUMINATION, SHAPE THE FUTURE, MYSTIC DAWN....10/10 Quote
Guest spy3[at]freemail[dot]hu Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 I can say that GOA is one of the best things on our Earth, and MFG is one of the best - or it is the Best - GOA Live Act!I like or i would i love it very-very much.I say that the Prophecy is the best album but the message is the second.I like its style, and the harmonies which they use. The best tracks on The Prophecy are: Magnetic Activity, Shape the Future, Mystic Dawn, Overload Quote
Guest Davidtolsn Posted November 11, 2002 Posted November 11, 2002 i think this is a bad cd, but i don't like mfg much to begin with. overload is ok, and so is new horizon, but i really don't like any of the other tracks, some are just annoying. if you like asia 2001 and ultra-cheesy simple goa this might be for you.. i'll be generous and give it 3/10.

SkeletonMan Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Label: Phonokol Catalog#: 2049-2 Country: Israel Released: 1996 Tracklisting: 1 The Prophecy (7:28) 2 Magnetic Activity (Total Eclipse) (7:31) 3 Alternate Dimension (7:20) 4 Overload (9:17) 5 Illumination (9:22) 6 New Horizon (7:31) 7 Hypnotized (9:11) 8 Shape The Future (Future Mix) (10:47) 9 Mystic Dawn (7:39) From my discogs review. Some music is worth waiting for. I discovered this album 10 years after its release and it brought me directly back to the wonderful days of the mid nineties trance. Wow! This is why I got into trance and this mess altoghether. Israelian trance anno 1996 making us all go crazy at home during the week and mayheem on the dancefloor at underground parties in the weekends. Listening to track 7 Hypnotised is like being taken back to a me 10 years younger in a trance somewhere ... somewhere in a field in New Hampshire. Alright. This track and this music has all the edge, psy elements and insisting bass necessary to move the truthful melodic goa trance follower to new heights. If you don't know it, get it. If you know it ... you know what I mean Quote
Time_Trap Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 best MFG album IMO and one of my favourites... The Prophecy Alternate Dimension Magnetic Activity great tracks Quote
