Guest Baboon Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Ubar Tmar - True Artist: Ubar Tmar Title: True Label: Matsuri Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 09'12" Rhythmism 1 02. 07'46" Rhythmism 2 03. 09'07" Rhythmism 3 04. 00'45" Rhythmism 4 05. 05'54" Rhythmism 5 06. 10'50" Rhythmism 6 07. 06'59" Rhythmism 7 Review: Well... hehehe. This album is very wierd I think. Ubar Tmar is Takeshi Isogai, a japanese producer who also composes with the great Tsuyoshi Suzuki in Joujouka. Anyway... this album contains 7 tracks with the same name, Rhythmism 1-7, wich I don´t know why, but it´s for sure a cool idea. The album is very good in my opinion, very psychedelic tunes in a bit dark way and also a twisted touch wich I like very much, this music works very good on the floor. Track 1 is not the best on this album but still good, some nice tunes and a good beat. Track 2 is a bit faster and very psychedelic and hard. Track 3 is much like track 2, very fast tunes. Track 4 is some kind of intro-stuff, 45 seconds of typical spiritual intro vibes, soft and nice. =) Track 5 is one of the best, it´s a bit more tribal track, cool groovie, tribal jungel tunes =), wich I think is very good. Track 6 is the best track I think,fast tunes and it´s sooo psychedelic and really hard and evil! wich I just LOVE to freak! out to on the floor. Track 7 is much slower then the rest of the tracks, very nice track to lay down and relax to. I give the album a pure 8/10... for sure one really kick azz album, if you don´t have it I recomend for all you aliens out there to buy it.

freak51 Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 I hated this a lot. Even the cover art is boring. I much preferred Fusion, although much of that too now sounds dated and/or like video game music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pit-UFO Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 An album for people who have the guts to listen instead of pushing eject. Either you like or not, you have to admit several things about this album. 1.This guy is from another world. 2. He knows how to fry a brain. 3. It has some good moments, specially on the first track. If you are into bizarre stuff or you love Japanese culture you?ll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMan Posted December 2, 2000 Share Posted December 2, 2000 Simply a fantastic album, the only track that i don't like is Rhytmism 5. Rhytmism 3 & 6 are two of the best songs ever. 2 is also very good! I don't know if anyone already noticed but if you look at the cover art it says Entheogen & DMT. I think Takeshi has done a bit of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ralih[at]hongkong[dot]com Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 you simply have to be a genious to create this kind of music.. It's so good and so unlike anything else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Munky Business Corperation 2001 Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 I wish more artists have to guts to release such unlinear stuff. After a few listens I got completely hooked on this absolute and moreover original masterpiece. It's like Japanese ambient artist - Makyo -(try it out)on Speed and LSD. I think this ranks as one of the most psychedelic trance releases ever. Try it if a song like - Dark Magus - is your favourite - Hallucinogen - track. Best tracks: Rhythmism 1 and 5. Rating: 9/10 because it is so OUT of this WORLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ralih[at]hongkong[dot]com Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 It's still growing on me... I'm discovering new things everytime i listen to it... If you have an open mind towards music get this piece now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaeton Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 whoa! definitely one of the most psychedelic and twisted albums ever made! like the last reviewer already said, it never stops growing on you ... btw in some tracks, if you check the numbers of the titles and count the beats in the tracks you'll notice that the numbers aren't randomly chosen this stuff is very experimental and original so at the first few listens it will sound a bit overwhelming, but keep on listening! this stuff has gotta sound out of this world while on hallucinogens (haven't had the chance to try it myself yet though .. i wish there would be more artists that dare to experiment with such cool polyrhythmic tricks and adventurous sounds and structures, i've never heard anything like this .. can't pick any favourite tracks, but it's definitely in my all time favourite albums top 3, 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashleypadgen[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 i bought this when i waz into industrial & didn't really get it... now im into psy-trance too and i understand! its very rhythmic (der) and somewhat confusing... alot of effort put into it, definitely not standard by any means. altho from my point of view its not all that dark or intense compared to other industrial/trance crossover stuff. will surely f*#k with yr head 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahoney Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 This is for sure one of the bests´releases ever! Love all the Japanesee artists out there.. ! 10 / 10 without doubt,,,!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joemrmeat[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 This is one of the most fuck up Cd that I've ever heard. This cd is great because he sounds very different than the other goa/cd. But this cd is not for anyone, because he sound so strange and unusual... anyway, if you like it, you must have Ubar Tmar Live at equinox festival...Whoa, if your brain survive the trax 4,5,6... You will survive anything... Ubar Tmar know how to fry the brain!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemonkey Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 This man can not be born out of a normal human being, but was probably painted out as a manga warrior in shark blood and brought to live under a full moon in some kind of horrifying pagan ritual. OK sometimes it sounds like nintendo music, but then again mayby such a machine was used to provide the live-energy to awaken him. Fact is that this man can do things with sound that most people cannot, and that must be respeceted as a psychedelic music lover! I must agree that a sometimes even I think that if he would stick a bit more to the understandable I would enjoy the album much more, but for now it's a hell of a trip!! Just close your eyes and let the angry manga man work your brain!! 7.5/10 for the music 100/10 for the complete sickening non-understanding of where this man came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 You must be really deranged to like this absolute crap. Badly produced, too damn weird, a horror for my ears. Can't understand what people like about this. Vampire back on the fairy, that's what this sounds like, what a drag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 To make things simple: If you like four-on-the-floor beats, you will hate this. If you like polyrhythms, you will love this. That simple. (...and I love polyrhythms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest he Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 i guess i must be different because i fail to see the musical genius... in any case i got rid of this album virtually immediately since it was so boring.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stereoid[at]gmx[dot]de Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 this album really works in my brain... really cool... on of the best psytrance albs i've listen to.... but be warned, it's nothing for people that like simple four-on-the-floor beats ha ha..... after you've listen to it, your life will never be the same, like before...i give them defenitive 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knack[at]hotbrev[dot]com Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I have had this album for about 1.5 years now, but just have to say: this is still one of the greatest albums I´ve heard. All the sounds are so nice, clean and you can hear that this is someone making music with the brain and not just throws things in like to many people does who´s trying to make something twisted. I can´t stop listening to it........10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemonkey Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 i am up grading it to a 10/10, after extensive listening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Musashi Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 A piece of art, and i think it would be GREAT to remix all of the tracks with newer sounds, i mean same structure, but more psychedelic sounds, it is a jewel of the experimental psytrance.
