Guest Acidhive Posted October 8, 2000 Posted October 8, 2000 Der Dritte Raum - Wellenbad Artist: Der Dritte Raum Title: Wellenbad Label: Harthouse Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. 03'01" Uberreichweite 02. 06'31" Vier Megahertz 03. 06'56" Wellenbad 04. 06'25" Raupe 05. 05'35" Alienoid 06. 06'10" Trommelmaschine 07. 06'46" Geister 08. 07'09" Narkose 09. 07'06" Slapstick 10. 07'08" Wind 11. 07'28" Tiefschlaf 12. 04'08" Unterwasser Review: Beginning quite softly with Uberreichweite (ambient track), this evolves into really electronic and quite minimal goa. I'm not really sure this is real goa, but it sounds similar to Son Kite and other minimalistic groups. (der dritte raum is one of the groups who started the minimal sound) If you have ever heard Trommelmaschine on tantrance 3 for instance, then you will know what this sounds like. The album is put together quite nicely, all the tracks are mixed into each other, so it seems like it never stops! Highlights here are the two ambient tracks (track 1 and 12) and also Trommelmaschine and Slapstick. This album is never full on trance, most of the time it's even quite peaceful. After this album, der dritte raum changed of style somewhat, becoming a little more melodic. I give this 7/10. This album is recommended if you're looking for a bit minimal, but quite peaceful trance. Quote
mars Posted October 8, 2000 Posted October 8, 2000 To my mind this s too minimalist..by far! And there is nothing to enlight the songs. Der Dritte Raum disappointed me here. 4.5/10 Quote
Guest squeaky[at]goatrance[dot]com Posted October 8, 2000 Posted October 8, 2000 i don't think that der drite raum was ever goa their doing great music but in my eyes is it more techno Quote
GaySatanicHippie Posted October 9, 2000 Posted October 9, 2000 Its funny, this is how far it has come, people say Der dritte Raum sounds like Son Kite. I remember when Son Kite first came out, everybody said that sounds like Der Dritte Raum. Der dritte Raum has been around since 1993 i think and has always made very technoish and minimal trance, not really goa at all, but still lots of people into goa liked and still do. Wellenbad is at least for or five years old and it still sounds young, especially Trommelmaschine, which ( i think) influenced a lot of the new progressive producers, like Son Kite for example. Anyway, i really like Wellenbad and anyone into progrewssive would, too Quote
Guest Nogenlunde[at]forum[dot]dk Posted November 10, 2000 Posted November 10, 2000 Clean sound. One of the best electronic groups ever. I love their sound. Try and listen to their other albums. The new album Distanz takes so getting use too. I dont think this group should be classified as Goa. This Album 10/10. brillant! Quote
Guest agibson684[at]earthlink[dot]net Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 9/10 Of the three full length alubms, this is the most mature. It is segued extremely well and every track is very well arranged. It belongs in any electronic dance music lovers library. Definitely not Psytrance/Goa. Quote
Guest ArchNemesis Posted January 4, 2001 Posted January 4, 2001 Music like Son Kite, Atmos & Der Dritte Raum is not goa. It is Deep Trance. Full on bass and percussions Quote
Guest Renyones Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 Very good work but, IT'S NOT GOA OR PSYCHEDELIC!!! This is a mixture betwen Technohouse, Progressive House & a litle piece of acid. I don't understand the reason because the three albums are included in this GOA/PSY TRANCE page (oh my good WHY?!). The best track is "Trommelmaschine" Quote
seraph Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Stunning album ! Der Dritte Raum's second album and it immediately put them in a trance hall of fame. It is mellow and smooth album with unique style and structure only Krueger can make. I like all tarcks but the best ones are : WELLENBAD, RAUPE, ALIENOID, TROMMELMACHINE, GEISTER, NARKOSE, WIND...9/10 Quote
