Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 V/A - Transient 5 Artist: Various Title: Transient 5 Label: Transient Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 05'56" Astral Projection And Deedrah : Zero 02. 05'37" Ganguru : Ultima 03. 07'22" Cosmosis : Reality Check 04. 08'38" Slide : The Search 05. 07'54" Radiation : Socaine 06. 09'19" Element Over Nature : The Age Of Cyberspace 07. 06'54" Black Light : Arena 08. 08'09" Disco Volante : 360 Degrees 09. 08'27" Nemesis : Snake Dance Review: This is a rather old compilation from Transient, but it's top quality! Of course, due to the fact that this is old it's quite cheesy at times. It seems that most of the tracks are driven by melodies, but somehow that doesn't make it any less appealing in my opinion. There are no really bad tracks on this, but the opening track by AP and Deedrah and the track by Black Light is not really that great on the other hand. The highligts for me are surely Cosmosis' "Reality Check", Slide's "The Search", Radiation's "Socaine" and Nemesis' "Snake Dance". The rest is average but still worth listening too. So this is just a nice journey back to the 1996-97 sound of Transient, which was quite good!! Good compilation, be sure to buy it if you find it, it should be quite cheap now!

mars Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 Those are top-quality tracks. Or so, they used to be whan this compil was released. It's worth it. At the time of its release, i would have marked it 8/10....but now...if you like oldschool psychedelic trance, it's still ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antic Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 This one is good, but only few tracks are great and they are AP's Zero (I hate AP, but I really love this track - can't do nothing about it ;-), Cosmosis - Reality Check, Slide - The Search, Radiation - Socaine and EON - The Age of Cyberspace. The socond track is not so bad either, but the last three I simply can't listen - they're so simple, childish and uninnovative - especially Disco Volante's one. Overall it's worth to buy it just for 1,3,4,5 i 6, but if you have them then don't waste your money. 7/10 (because of Cosmosis and AP).

Guest Dr G Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 My opinion is that this a cracking compilation. There are no bad tracks on it, all of them good examples of the earlier melodic Goa style. However, special mention should be made of Cosmosis' "Reality Check" which has a tad more octane than many of the others, and of Nemesis's "Snake Dance" which is one of the most sinuous Goa tracks ever, with a completely appropriate title. I wonder what many of these artists are doing today, most of them have completely disappeared off the radar. Highly recommended. 9/10. ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
