Press Release

 

Well, it has finally happened: the Portuguese aliens have taken what was theirs for several years now – that is, Nikita Tselovalnikov, the producer of Penta, the

 

psytrance project that has been seen live in 30 countries around the world. To commemorate this fact, AuraQuake Music is happily releasing “Portuguese

 

Abduction”, the fourth album from Nikita, now an Azores Islands resident. Packed with next generation sounds, unexpected passages and his trademark

 

sampling, this release is a wicked pentadelic circus carousel that takes you on a wild journey through night and day. From deep and dark “No More Evil” to the

 

funky and unpredictable “BBQ” to the vocal and full-on “Neo Cheesy” this album is for everyone. Drawing from his experience in working at the Soviet nuclear

 

laboratory, Nikita has made sure that every track will detonate properly on every dance floor, - huge and tiny. The mastering was provided by Tim Shuldt at the

 

4CN-Studios, so you can expect fresh and transparent sound all the way.

No comments since October? I just read about this now. I can only imagine Penta began Horn Please? in 2006. How else would this album not have a rushed feel to it. Anything's possible however. I like this fast, furious, melodic, psychedelic, atmospheric, dark and textured style (with surprise elements). As long as Penta can continue it with good and above tracks. My gripe with Horn Please?, as much as I enjoy the album, is that it lacks an amazing masterpiece. The entire album is more or less good and/or great. While that is a compliment to say the least, I know Penta has the ability to conjure up several surprisingly, infectious and rich masterpieces... tracks that just blow the listener away and ascend (or descend) the musical tracks into the next level of impressive, memorable darkness, while remaining danceable.

 

An example of an unforgettable dark Psytrance song that both captivated and impressed me from beginning to end is Structure Failure by Dark Nebula. I like tracks that make me go, WOW, Holy shit!!! Anyway it would be amazing if Penta made two or three extremely next level songs on the next album, (while various others are great too) bringing this style to another climax or plateau, because this artist, should he continue to improve, has the potential to be the greatest artist in generally dark Psytrance. And I will continue to buy his albums, and many others will too.

 

The melody work on Andes is very gripping, the deep, relatively sustained chime sound. One thing I notice however is that the general song has so many change ups in sound and ideas that it's hardly possible for the general song to not remain interesting throughout. Is this a bad thing? Of course not. But does constant change of scenery make a movie good either? First, I'm refreshed to see these songs aren't repetitive, they're constantly happening which is great. Awesome. But I'd love to hear more indentity as almost every song follows the "handful of psy and melody sounds" direction without what seems to be a building in strength character. Stronger leading melody work on some of these tracks which would inspire total bliss, madness, crazyness, climax, would be wonderous. In other words, it would be awesome to hear more complex and stand out, thick and developed, driving melodies as Infected Mushroom used to do, but in Penta's darker, style and songs. The tracks here are like paragraphs with a variety of more and less catchy sentences. How about a story that gets better as it progresses? Or a track that doesn't have alot of cool sound fx and complimentary melodic elements alone, but such elements compliment a building ark, an infectious melodic rhythm-esque structure via Goa-influenced in concept per say, but incorporated and channeled through the talented vision of Penta. Maybe this artist has little interest in letting a good idea develop into a kingdom of streaming (driving, dark, aggressive, kickass) melodies in addition to that great melodic idea and those tunes that often come, sound great, than go. This is just an observation and a suggestion anyway.

 

I'd describe Penta's new style as I'd describe the film District - B13. It's fast, furious, stylish, and races by the viewer in a blur. The viewer may want to watch it again because it's fun, but he or she will often find it less memorable than it feels in the moment because it's so cool to see but not as juicy and developed (or powerful) as a whole. Such stronger emphasis on character development, plot, and story would have a more of an impact on the viewer. The experience would not only be fun but mind-altering, provocative, and smashingly well done past its hip and fun image, badboy attitude, and cool moves.
