Guest Vir2alExp Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 This Masterpiece was one of my first goa-trance cd´s (I Call It Goa-Trance becouse i dont like trance music its way to simple) But this cd is my jewel in my colection. this album lives up to its title TWISTED and this CD Is totaly twisted with all those SCRATCHY sounds Simon is one of a kind if you have money enough to one cd buy this one And second make it Infected Mushroom - The Gathering. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Floydian Posted May 1, 2001 Share Posted May 1, 2001 Wow, words cannot express how much I love this album! Can't seem to pick it up on vinyl though, d'oh! Any ideas? Any1 know of any sites that would stock it (even 2nd hand would be good). Definitely 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zeitti Posted May 5, 2001 Share Posted May 5, 2001 Mr. Posford is a true genius of our time. As the guy above says, I too can't express my feelings about this album, I just love it so much. I mean.. you can listen to other producers, x-dream, pleiadians, infected mushroom but whenever I put Twisted or The Lone Deranger on, I realize that they don't come even close to Simon's skill. I've listened to LSD so many times, but still, when I hear the melody at about 1:30 of the song, I just get so much adrenaline in my body it's amazing! If there's someone out there who loves goa trance and doesn't have this album, I cannot recommend getting it enough! Every track is a pearl!

Guest heierli[at]library.ethz[dot]ch Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Not good. PHANTASTIC! One of my favourite CDs (after Pleiadians). Posford is a genius. The CD is perfect, from the beginning to the end, very good mixed (how zeitti say: every track a pearl). Beautiful melodies, acid-bubbles and oriental influences, that's true goa (i like progressiv-goa too, but not so much how Oldschool-Goa). Best tracks? Very difficult to say, all tracks are phantastic, but my favourites are 2,3,5 (!) and 8. The change of the melodies in Shamanix between aggressiv acid-lines and wonderful melodies... i can't describe it. You must hear it self to believe it. Rating: 11/10.

Guest Joemrmeat[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I think this one is greater than the lone deranger. More trance and shamanix sounds. He will make you fly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diepeveen Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 Everyone knows this cd... And everyone loves it... So why should't i? - Pure insanity! Best tracks: 1,2,4,5,8... Rest is also very good... Weakest track, Alpha Centauri, is "just" good... Overall a 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cybergirl[at]thevortex[dot]com Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 sniff sniff... *in the verge of tears* it's really touching to see that other people see in Twisted what i see. no, i've never taken LSD or anything vaguely psychotropical; but listening to this Masterpiece -in its entirity- comes very, very close. the well-known starting phrase "I BELIEVE..." made my heart turn the first time i listened to it. now it turns even more because i know what's to come. this CD is definitely a MUST. it's amazing how Simon (i talk about him as if we were old friends..hah!) managed to put these many emotions in such a little container...an emotional rollercoaster full of surprises; a deep, well-thought, mind-blowing piece of art. My own personal favorites are Fluoro Neuro Sponge, yes, Shamanix, and SOLSTICE. 100!!!'NUFF SAID! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest urdu[at]sympatico[dot]ca Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 A remarkable album which is timeless. Harmoniously textured and powerful layers of psychedelic sounds. Intricate but exquisitely melodic high hats. Totally original, mind-bending and uplifting tracks. I'm appalled that no one commented positively on Snarling Black Mabel - my all time favorite Posford track. My least favorite were LSD (cheesy introductory voice sample) and Fluoro Neuro Sponge (too many video game type sounds at the interlude around 1/3 the way in).

Guest bren432[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 This is the album that made me fall in love with trance...I still consider it the best in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 'CiD Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 Simon is by far the master of psy trance he makes everyone else seem like children. Just listen... You listen to twisted or the lone deranger and then put in any other psy trance group. Can you stand it? I know i can't... I just put in another of my assorted simon cds! ha. 10/10 for ever release he's put out. He's toped twisted with the lone deranger (many dont agree, but lone deranger is VERY VERY HIGHLY PSYCHEDELIC, and that's what i like) and he's toped Are you Shpongled with TOTI. We can only imagine what Hallucinogen III will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_shih[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 beautiful, amazing, unbelievable. such depth, such emotion, such power, such genius. moving, imposing, humbling. every song is outstanding, and when they are combined they make a complete symphony. when i remember that this was made in 1995, almost in the days of windows 3.1 and 486 pc's, i am awestruck and disbelieving. if this album were released today it would be ahead of its time. a timeless treasure and masterpiece. without hesitation 10/10.

Guest pogi[at]shpongle[dot]com Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 First album of master.. Respect LSD+Shamanox+Snarling Black Mebel+Solstice are still great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kim.ake[at]nic[dot]fi Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 I think that the amount of comments here shows just how utteringly special this album is. I think that pretty much everything has been said about this already. This is just so beautiful. There are no words to describe the multitude of emotions and visions this album always manages to conjure. Even now I'm literally trembling with excitement, even though it's been months since I last listened to this. The same kind of adventurous excitement that can be felt on a beginning of a long journey, unsure of the outcome and all that can be seen and experienced on the way... The holy book of Goa Trance. The only really symphonic and coherent album ever in this genre, really. It's all so connected and alive... Just like living organisms and the whole fabric of live and consciousness that is Gaia, the planet and the huge matrix of mystic being that is the all of us. I can say no more. I'm not sure if anything quite like this can be made in the same style. It's just so sad the technotrance has killed the benevolence and goodness, the solid light and holyness that used to surround psychedelic trance. Luckily people still strive for the godhead through their music, but the parties, the official label releases etc have gone quite astray lately... Let there be light... Time will show what endures and what is doomed to oblivion. These vibes will endure, I believe, and hope. Love. -Kim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickp00[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 "There are doors, that they're afraid to go in." And that's exactly what this album does: enters unexplored doorways and dimesnions in psychedelic trance music. The melody from 7:27 till 8:07 in Shamanix really finishes off this track with a BANG! But not as much as the hidden track does for the entire album!!!!!! Just one more question: where can I find more of this guy's work besides The Lone Deranger????? If anyone can help please do.

Guest MG Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Don't you just love how you can hear what Simon listens to in what is regarded as futuristic music? This album is insane! Buy this and put it on & you will hear that this isn't purely recreational music like a lot of trance is these days! I wish there were more music being produced like this today, the attention to detail even for such an 'old' release makes my jaw drop to the floor everytime I hear this. Better than the second album for sure ***Perfect Score*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 This album is a 12/10 in my opinion. Probably the best album ever in psy trance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nelson, Colombia - South Americ Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Although I'm very fond of trance music, i've been experimenting with psy trance and other kind of substances, I gotta tell you I kinda bumped with this track, LSD, but you can´t imagine how good it is, where i live i doubt i can find the CD so i'll just have to download the entire album, it's nice to see how many people have an interest in this type of music and how this music can change their lives, lots of peace to all of you ... "relax and enjoy" !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DARK DRAGON Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 I agree with Nelson and the rest of you too, I've known of Hallucinogen for about 3 years, but only recently have I got more involved in Goa after I re listened to some old classics by Hall. What can I say "LSD" is perfect for tripping. Dark Magus is just pure dark and "Alpha Centauri" is simply out of this world. I give this album a Perfect Score not to mention the Artist. I look forward to discovering the world of Goa with eager wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big D, Phoenix Arizona Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Incredible sound. No other type of music seems to express what Hallucinogen has packaged for us. Samples, beat changes, unorthodox sounds. This album, and Deranger, are the epicenter of Psy-Goa. Hallucinogen was the beginning for me, and it helped me discover the others like Infected Mushroom. I'm glad someone out there had an idea to create a sound that was completly original and it worked perfectly. From someone that never uses any hallucinogens I can say thus album IS a trip by itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NFalke666[at]aol[dot]com Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Years later, its still the best... drop a couple and let simon take contol (seriously!)... it really is missing angelic particles though. maybe he wasn't finished writing it at the time. I think thats what the hidden track turned into... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffan Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 It´s the best psytrance album ever. All trax extremly well made. Buy this one or stop listening to psytrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stmwho[at]mail[dot]com Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 L.I.Q.U.I.D. This cd IS the standard! Still not beaten, not even by Simon himself, lone deranger is crap compared to this. Imagine this will be the best goa album ever, scary ha? You live now, you heard it, maybe goa will never get better than this, touching isn't ? Well, it hits me like hell, tears in my eyes. Best tracks: 5 and 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
