CD 1 starts with a great track taken from UX album but Master Of The Universe (I know some of you hate it) I like still better. Next is a rather peaceful morning track, the title says it already, from an artist I don't know anything about. Then Manmademan with a véry good track, very psychedelic and with masterminded melodies. Lumbumbashi by Stern von Afrika is a quite simple and average one. Warriors Of Light is a real stormer, but it sucks when you're not in the mood for it. The Blue Planet Corp. delivers quite an uplifting track full of their unique positive energy, next one is short and simple but OK, Snake Dance is very nice, I love the singing in this one. Last one is another positive sounding standard goa track. First half of CD2 makes the comp really worth it as it begins with a trippy twisted tune by Laughing Buddha (aka Cosmosis), continues with standard track by Digital Sun and peaks with an awesome killer from O.O.O.D., this is not the original Silence, but the live version I think, which is just like the original but contains even more sounds and wicked melodies, that make it the best track on this comp, it's a real bomb and also one of the fastest (155 Bpm). Then we have some great work from Shakta and another killer from a group which consists to 50% of Ciaran Walsh (aka Deviant Electronics), you'll recognize his style immediately. Next is Tristan with a pretty strange tune, followed by two must haves for fans of Tim Schuldt: Mono Substance is Tim on his own, who delivers a phatt tune without guitars but instead with strong melodic patterns. After that Tim in collaboration with Gilgamesh, rough & wicked, and at the end an average downtempo track by Hara Gobi. Conclusion: Though there are only few mindblowing tracks, all tracks are at least good, so it's a good addition to any goa trance collection.

Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 When i discovered in second hand this compilation, i have regreted not buying before some others Pulse. I particularly appreciate that there's some artits which don't appear on other compilation or a bit less like Wasabe, Evolution, Ravebase,Nemesis, Laughing buddha , Digital sun or OOOD for examples.I like all tracks on cd1 except Delirium and favourites are 1,2,7,8. On cd2 some more dark and hard stuff(from mok systems till 4 carry nuts),the last track is a borring slow tempo.Globally there's less quality than in cd1.Good ones are 1,2,3,7. rating :7,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Pretty good compilation...it is very psychedleic and first disc is psychedelic goa trance where the second one is rather harder...Pulse serie is to me one of the best compilations, with Goa head and Tantrance but they stopped being that good until the volumes between 8 and 10..All of them were really good towards GOA and PSYCHEDELIC Trance until the era of progressive, minimal and agressive goa entered...I like all tracks on both discs but the best are : CD 1 : DOMINION, PEACEFUL TURBULENCE, DELIRIUM ( !!! ). INTRIGUE ( !! ), SNAKE DANCE ( ! ), THE ANSWER ....9/10 and from CD 2 : EARTH MEDICINE, SILENCE ( !!! ), SILICON TRIP ( !! ), SENSORY DECEPTION ( ! ), MIDNIGHT SUNRISE ( ! ), WEIRD EGG...9/10 SO pretty stunning compilation..
