Guest Pit-UFO Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 Psychonaut - Psychonaut Artist: Psychonaut Title: Psychonaut Label: Global Trance Network Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 09'13" Wizard Of OSC 02. 07'40" Starbug 03. 07'46" Whoow 04. 07'23" Derwish 05. 07'34" Earthopper 06. 07'56" Brainshaker 07. 09'26" Elastron 08. 07'37" Spiritwalker Review: The perfect cocktail of melodies, minimal lines, techno, acid lines and experimental stuff. An album that you will enjoy from top to bottom. Superbly crafted with imagination and style by this German duo. This one will work in you room, in the dancefloor by night or at sunrise. It has the ability to offer something special for everyone. Cheers to Psychonaut!!!!!!. 9.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 Not enough variety and some sounds don't progress anywhere... but it is nicely assembled. A decent enough album but I think that this one will prove to be forgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaySatanicHippie Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 I listened to this only at the recordsstore, but i tend to agree with diezynyk, it is very average and forgetable. Not bad at all, just average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rmoench[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 This album is light years away from average. It is amazing for the intros and outros alone. Put on a good pair of headphones and listen very closely between tracks one and two. Holy Jesus! Just awesome. This is very deep, pyschedelic, powerful music. If your ears and mind are psychedelically inclined "Starbug" and "Whoow" will turn you upside down. Don't let the nice-sounding first track fool you. This is serious fucking music, highly original. Well-done to this new act from Germany. This is one of the best first albums I have heard since MOS released their Bug album. I look forward to hearing them develop further. These guys have HUGE potential. 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisdeeACiD Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 hmm.. sounds the same all the way with weak bassdrumms and a silly bassline between the bassdrumms which makes it simple boring trance... ReALLy NoT mY StyLe! Only like 1 or perhaps 2 pretty listenable tracks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smokeBuddha Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 This album could have been so much better. I like it, but there are big problems involving lack of variety. Songs tend to sound the same and the basslines are really shoddy. Much room for improvement. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acidhive Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 It's all progressive style, and most tracks are similar. You have to like their style, which is like X-Dream, only 'squeakier'. Their tracks are always filled with a pounding kickdrum and typical german bassline. On top of that, most tracks contain those squeaky sounds. I think it is not bad, though it could have been better. I still consider that track Mind's Eye on Goa-Head Vol. 11 to be their best track yet, although on this album Whoow and Elastron really do it for me too. A solid 7,5/10 here and I hope their next album will bring us more, but better stuff. Then they can get up to the 8/9 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kikbert Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 I think Brainshaker is worth bying the whole Album, but the rest is also O.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jarth[at]pandora[dot]be Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 First Goa party - Gent Voorhavenlaan - three weeks ago - okay but not great - Moments of irritation because of the non-organic style the music sounded like ... could have been me ... Bought this CD at taboorecords (didn't know then) and liked it. 7/10 . I'm not very thrilled with goa ... yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nemo Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 this could have been a truly great album if only they had worked on the bass-lines more.that 'unter-unter' syle doesn't hold up for a whole cd. as it is, this is merely a very good one[the psychedelic toppings are wonderful!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
