Anoebis Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 Yep, I have this CD since yesterday and I have to agree, it's very nice!! It's the typical D5-style!! ))) The only bad point is that all the songs sound almost the same... I won't say it's bad cuz I like his style, but still... It's maybe not véry good to listen to this CD at once!! Anyway, the véry best songs are 1,3,6,9 Especially 6 is a killer but like I said, good Cd overall!! I'll give it 9/10!! (héhé from now on I'll give ratings too!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest filip[at]att[dot]net Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Dimension 5 - Second Phaze Artist: Dimension 5 Title: Second Phaze Label: Bluemoon Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'17" Moon Cake 02. 07'39" Limitless Dimension (Gate 3 Mix) 03. 08'28" Beyond the Stars 04. 07'48" Bombed Out 05. 08'48" Transformation (Rmx) 06. 07'33" The Z Principle 07. 08'35" Polaris 1 08. 07'57" Polaris 2 09. 08'16" Mind To Mind Review: This is without a doubt a brilliant full on cyber-melodic album. Dimension 5 has picked up exactly where they left off with even thicker and more evolved sounds. This is without a doubt one of the hottest albums to ever come out. Each track is beautifully developed with multiple cyber melodic elements that were carried on from their previous album. Consistency is definetly visible here. If you liked their first one then you are in for a triple treat! Perhaps the nicest thing is that the whole album is told like a continous story. A 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 It looks like the older album they did in 97. It is quite cheesy in some parts, and the tracks look the same... I love the Z principle (track 6). Ok for you if you like melodic trance that is not ptzatzot. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alerkohman[at]freezone[dot]net Posted July 18, 2000 Share Posted July 18, 2000 Smokin' smokin' and more smokin' Its definetly them but I think its lacking that extra melodic step their previous baby had. Regardless its a super keeper. All their melodies and all their layers are so well intricately developed. Its super good but if they could only put a bit more melodies on top of it, that would really make it a super sequel to their first one.

Guest mrsyed Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Thank god for D5 not changing their style. It's quite the sequel to their last album. And in this time of minimalism and cold, emotionless trance dominated by beats here comes a wonderful thick, dense melodic album. It is by no means free of cheese, but it's quite forgivable. Still reeling from Beyond the Stars track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 Very , very nice... full on melodies from d5.. I personally love their music.

I really enjoyed this album . great for the mornings at parties and even to just listen to at home.. d5 have their own great style and I am hooked.. buy this album and welcome to the world of d5...

Sixmoons Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 This album is the nicest I've heard for a long time. I'm very impressed and am scouring the CD stores looking for Transdimensional. I think D5 have that 'magic' touch. Thanks Dimension 5 for bringing me back; before Second phase I was becoming a little tired of Goadelic music. But now I', inspired. Track 8 is the greatest.

Guest goapsytrance[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 Yeah its quite the same style as Transdimensional, but it's a good style. It's almost cheesy in some parts, but nevertheless its good. A lot of sounds are really similar to those in Astral Projection and Hallucinogen albums, nothing really new here, but the music as a whole has a unique style. The dense, uplifting melodies really take you to another planet. D5 really know what they're doing. I love oldschool music that don't sound dated, like this and Toi Doi's album "Technological."

Guest goapsytrance[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 As I listen to this more and more, its definitely beginning to sound worse. The melody at the beginning of track 1 is ripped off of Cosmosis' Howling at the Moon, but at least its a well-done rip-off in the vien of the Beatles' rip-offs of Presley. Despite the fact that D5 relied too heavily on those that went before them for inspiration, somehow they managed to avoid making a totally derivative piece of crap. Despite my disappointment at their lack of originality, I somehow still can not help liking this album, and this is meant as a qualification rather than a refutation of the above review.

Guest kerry[at]trance[dot]net Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 I would say and I am not one for beating around the bush is its not as good as the first album Transdimensional but its not too bad and has one or two moments that made the first album magic. I have complete confidence the next one will surpass the quality of the two previous albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eden.solaris Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 Finally, a Y2K release that doesn't make me sick!!!! In fact, it's very good, very melodic (too melodic???), but slower than Transdimensional, and has less psychedellic sounds... But, a very good album, nonetheless!!!!!!!!! 9/10 for being the ONLY year 2000 release I know of that I could actually listen to!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 Those flute synth orchestrations create the the flow from the heart and those fun lazer gun symbol replacements make me cum. I fucking love this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simonjenkins2000[at]hotmail[dot] Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 The version of the album released on Novatekk ( after the sad collapse of the Blue Moonies ) has better artwork.

Jon Cocco Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I don't consider any of this cheesy at all. I wouldn't consider it dated, as this doeshave a fresh, unique sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diepeveen Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 There are good tracks, but there is also some forgetable stuff. But it is for sure a good release, and there are some killers! Best tracks are: 1,3,5,6 and 8! - Rest is still okay, but not really good - a solid 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cocco Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Moon Cake is beautiful. That is real night time melodic stuff. There issomething very interesting about the rhythm in this song. I can't explainreally, but I have great thoughts when hearing it. The Z Principle isgreat too, but I expected more after reading the reviews above with theoverall album. This album took me years to find so ifyou have the opportunity to buy this, I would do it beforesomeone else does. 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rx7style Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Great album. I'm a meleodic psytrance nut, so this is my cup of tea. I would most closely compare this album to that of Ra - To Sirius; unfortunately this album has a little less direction than To Sirius, and the harmonies don't always go in the "best" direction, but all tracks are good on this CD. I also think the production could have been a little better, as in track 6 I believe the beats become slightly synchopated with the rhythm of the high-hat. A few samples seem a bit oldschool in sound, but that's alright -- it gave this album flavor. Anyway, it's very high energy, melodic, and well done psytrance. Scoop this one up while you can, crank it up, and you're going to smile. Isn't that what it's all about? 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I heard RA is a side project of Dimension 5. Is that true? I haven't heard the RA album yet, but heard it's great. I'm not really into the melodic morning stuff too much any more, but I have to say this one takes me back. One of my favorite melodic songs is Antidote. This CD doesn't have a song that stands out like that one did to me, but all in all is a great album. The melodies flow together nicely. I give this one a 9/10 for melodic trance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mushi77 - Oslo :-) Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 RA is the one half of Dimension 5. This album is great (7/10) but RA's is a little bit better (7.5/10). Best song on this album: #1: Moon Cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 RA is not a side project of Dimension 5, but the main composer in RA joined Dimension 5 in late 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
