Children Posted January 18, 2000 Share Posted January 18, 2000 Total Eclipse - Violent Relaxation Artist: Total Eclipse Title: Violent Relaxation Label: Blue Room Date: 1996 Track listing: CD 1 01. 07'19" Virtual Terminal Energised 02. 07'36" Area 51 03. 09'01" The Furnace 04. 08'14" Tecknophobia 05. 07'46" Chaotic Circus 06. 07'43" Absolute Zero 07. 07'41" Pulsar Glitch 08. 07'27" Space Clinic 09. 08'19" Blue Galaxie CD 2 01. 09'22" Espanolizer 02. 09'33" The Pendulum 03. 08'21" Black Body Radiation 04. 10'01" Diamond Ring Effect 05. 07'31" Time Drops 06. 08'12" 51 Pegasus 07. 09'40" Gravity Mirage Review: This album is REALLY GOOD, particularly the First CD :-) Best CD 1 Tracks are 1,3,4 and 7 (Track 3, The Furnace, is one of the best Goa Tracks I've ever heard !!!) Best CD 2 Track is 5 ... Why did they choose the name "Violent Relaxation" ? Because CD 1 is violent (pure psychedelic trance) and CD 2 is relaxation (it's more Ambient than Goa) :-) Rating : 9/10 (because there is 2 CDs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted January 26, 2000 Share Posted January 26, 2000 Excellent album ! Good tracks on the first are 1,2,3,7,8,9, and my personal favorite is Space Clinic. I like Blue Galaxy a lot, with a really nice melody, and also this track is a nice transition between the 2 cds : Not pumping goa, but not ambient. On the second cds all tracks are good, I prefer Espanolizer, but I'll never understand why they use an electric guitar in the middle of the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Infected Max Posted February 1, 2000 Share Posted February 1, 2000 One of my best Cd(s)!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PsychedelicGav Posted February 9, 2000 Share Posted February 9, 2000 This is an okay album, but only okay. Sixteen Total Eclipse tracks are rather hard to take in one go. Like a lot of bands, the sound doesn?t vary enough, it gets boring after a while. There?s some good stuff here but you?ve probably heard the good stuff already on compilations or whatever. Good value for money as music goes but a little more variety would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest a_ozi Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 I agree with psychedelic gav... very similar styles on both seedees make listening to either disc in one go a personal issue of contention. Its forgiven by the fact that it is really old now though, and their newer trax have all been much more impressive. My fave track on the whole thing... "espaniolizer". 2 cones out of a six-shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaharl[at]isdn.net[dot]il Posted August 8, 2000 Share Posted August 8, 2000 one of my best goa trance cd's. really liked the differance between the 2 cd's. the first is more energetic and has more andrenaline in it (except offcourse for track 9 which is well... wow!!!). the second cd you can say is on the border of ambient but not quite. my favorite tracks on the first are 1,3,5,6,8,9. and on the second, well ... in one word PERFECT.

Guest Renyones Posted May 7, 2001 Share Posted May 7, 2001 CD-1 IS VIOLENT. CD-2 IS RELAXATION. (9/10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha Posted May 16, 2001 Share Posted May 16, 2001 Well I had to buy this one finally, and oh my god.. it was really worth it! The first cd contains very good, old skool psychedelic trance. Each track is really good filled with melodies and baselines. The second cd is more ambient-like stuff, great chill-out music. These two cd:s make a brilliant album, really worth buying. Score 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wonderboy[at]pandora[dot]be Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Though not so good as their previous as their previous album this one still rocks! Both the violent and relaxational part make you trip away. This is 100% quality GOA with some unforgettable tunes on it. If you hear this you ask yourself how they could make such a horrable album like "access denied". THIS IS A MUST HAVE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cf Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 CD1 is a good TE stuff. On the other hand, the cd2, except the first trax, is really boring and disappointing, a total eclipse of inspiration, bad thought, poor and empty. Fortunatly, they stopped to make Ambient, it wasn't their key point. Thanxx for my ears, TE!!! So I give it 6/10 thanks to cd one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flying-high[at]inda[dot]sky Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 A must have !!!! One of the best goa-trance CD 9,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 On Cd1 (goa, except blue galaxie which sounds more ambient)),i don't like track 4, favourites are:1-2-5-8-9. On cd2 (ambient),only the last track is bad. 1 or 2 more tracks could have been put on cd 2, the running time reachs only 62 minutes. This double cd is very good, rating :8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest j[at]sper.nicetomeetyou[dot]to Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 After halluciniogen, the first goa i've heared. They made me love psychedelic trance. Lost the CD, so i MUST have it again; memories. At Sola Luna festifal in greece this summer(2001), they played one of this album; i thought i was going nuts!!!!

Guest Koirraaah Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Oh-My-God. I always thought Total Eclipse was more or less shit albeit some good tracks appearing on collections, but THIS... Fsckin brilliant! 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lifeformstudio[at]msn[dot]com Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 I was never really into some of his new tracks, and i finally got a copy of this cd just now, and i must say.. I'm VERY impressed. This is old school, and its kick ass old school! No wonder this is mentioned as a "classic". I'm only on track 4 disk 1 ... so you must feel my joy of this cd. 9/10 so far. maybe i'll come back later and review the rest, if necessary.
