Review:

 

CD1 Track 8 (Astral Projection Dancing Galaxy) is very good, other Tracks are

quite boring ... Bad Tracks are CD1 1,2,3,5,7 and CD2 1,2,3,5,6,7 ... You

should not buy this Compilation ... Rating : 3/10

[Guest Psylent Buddhi]

Don't quite agree with you there children. CD1 contains some pretty ecclectic

tracks. Especially Sandman's dark "The End of The World", Cosmosis'

"Moonshine" and also the tracks by Elixir And Oforia are damn good. The

opening track on the CD2 is an absolute stunning track by Psychopod. The

entire compilation is worth getting just for that track. But Process also

delivers a fuck-off-weird-psychedelia stomper. Lotus Omega's Lighthouse is

weird music at it's best. And of course Hallucinogen's track Spiritual

Antiseptic is fucking awesome. A truly Mindblowing stormer!! Get it if you're

into some awesome psychedelic-scapes! P.L.U R.

This CD is one of my best compilation cd's ever! it contains loads of

electrical darkness, to make ur skin crawl and ur soul dwell deep into dark

and ruined temples, top of psy rating 99% BUY IT!

[Guest PsychedelicGav]

Not the most exciting of compilations but some pretty good stuff on these two

CDs nevertheless. The first CD gets off to a kicking start with Sandmans

excellent ?End Of The World?. Things don?t really reach the same height after

this opener, though, sure it?s nice to hear Cosmosis do ?Moonshine, but most

people have already heard it a dozen times or so on compilations. And why do

Astral Projection keep popping up on these compilations - am I the only person

who thinks ?Dancing Galaxy? isn?t really all that good?!!! CD2 is probably

better although I?m fed up hearing the opening track - Psychopods ?Universal

Mind? - you can do better than this for an opening track!!!! Being fair, CD2

has some good tunes a la Green Nuns, Space Tribe, Quirk and Hallucinogen.

Despite this, I think most psychedelic trance fans can safely live without

this compilation!!!!!

One of the best ever compilations

Just look at the artists

8/10

[Guest ZARAKNON]

This one took a little longer till I liked it, than TT 3&4, but it's

still just as good. Best tracks imo:CD1 tracks 1,2,5(!),8(!); CD2 tracks 1,9.

Compilation series like Tantrance introduced me to psytrance and I

recommend them to everyone who does not have the tracks, without any

particular rating. P.S.: I don't really dig Quirk's Ping, don't know why some

people are so fond of this track, just sounds stupid to my ears…

[Guest My email which im not placing he]

children, u are too isrealized or something... blah nevermind Tantrance 6 wil

rule forever... ( i have such memories on this one )

[Guest ryan[at]canberranet.com[dot]au]

yeah but one has mentioned how good track 3 CD1 is.......woooo baby....this cd

is best listened to on a dark stormy night with lots of lightened and turning

off all lights in the house and then listening to this CD on an extrememly

high volume.....apparently the kids were crying next door what i did it

last.......

[Guest [Anonymous]]

probably one of the best volume of the serie with the first Tantrance.

 

All tracks on cd1 are good except Orion with Nezca Spider

 

Cd2 has a lower level quality, very irregular tracks here, good ones are

2-3-7-8, bad ones are 1-8

I have found this compilation to be very exciting and interesting. This was

the first techno compilation that I ever owned, and it had been one of my

favourites ever since.

I find that thebest tracks on cd 1 are:

1. Sandman - End of The World, this track has a very dark mood about it,

containg a lovely sample that is wellplaced. The bassline is excellent, and

the artis has obivously putin much hard work to this track.

 

2. Cosmosis- Moonshine - - A nice track, delightful use of sample and effects,

lovely building up thoughpout the hwole track. I have note seen this track one

other compilations, but I gather that it is quite popular within the scene.

 

3. Elysium - Trancelestial Psychobabas. Weel, what can I say?? I am a big fan

of this artist and this track has been no.1 for me for a long time. A feature

of any tapes I make for my car, and quite often the song I play for people who

ask me what psytrance is. Lovely melodies and effects, excellent bassline, an

all time class ic in my books!!

 

4. Oforia - Why Not Mars? This song convinced me to buy the album Delirious,

which hs nice tracks but none compare to this. I love the sample in this song,

contains nice melodies and is at a speed that really makes you wnat to dance

your ass off.

 

5.Astral Projection - Dancing Galxy. Another fav. of mine, nearly all of you

must know this track by now. An absolute classic that has handle the test of

time veyr well.

 

CD 2:

 

not too many popular tracks here,

1. Lotus Omega - Lighthous. I can't explain why this song is sopopular with me.

I think it is tha fact that is tells such a nice story, leading you thorugh

diffrent paths to a beautiful ending, this one is a real journey into your

mind!!

 

2. Prometheus Project - Clarity From deep Fog. The start is very nice, gets the

blood rushing every time!! Many find this track fluffy or to static, but it

contians everything I enjoy, originality and production skills.

 

3. Quirk - Ping This is not so much a favourite, but it interests me withthe

originality behind it. It takes a simple idea, using samples, and creates and

entire story aroud it. Though not a trak I listen to all the time, when I do I

always enjoy it.

 

Cheers,

Mike D!!

[Guest [Anonymous]]

Lotus Omega is the best track on this comp..sandmans track is

also a reson to buy this nice comp.injoyy.

[aliendna99]

Holy crap some of the old members here were pretty strange.

 

This album is top 10 va and it's beautiful.

So many different but awesome tracks here.

 

 

End of the world is the best track by sandman and it's one of the most doom and gloom type tracks I ever heard.

Masterpiece once you get to know it and feel the subtle genius of the track.

 

 

Moonshine my favorite cosmosis track. So spacey and dreamy, yet extremely dancefloor friendly with incredible goa sounds.

But the atmosphere is really what makes this one over the top.

 

 

Nazca spider. Again the artists best track. Full of old school goa wonders.

 

 

Lighthouse. AGAIN artists best track. Masterpiece!

 

 

There are many more excellent tracks on this VA and frankly I think the reviewer had some bad acid the night before this review.

Really crazy music on this one and my fav tantrance for sure. I never understood why this didn't get such positive love at the time, but I think it is a very dark & introspective journey compared to the previous ones that had much love and light injected in to them. A true psychedelic trip through sound. Pure love for this release.
