The best of Avi Algranati

[Basilisk]

I've seen polls like this for some other producers... so here's one for the great Avi Algranati AKA Space Cat. Vote for your fave! :posford:

[Goa Bill]

Beam me up is a classic. Everything afterwards has been a free fall decline. I expect him to produce dark psy any moment now. :wank:

[Blaze]

+1 to what Pavel said. Indoor is nice, but Beam Me Up is on a completely different level (even though it's a Hallucinogen ripoff)

[Insejn]

Gotta go with Beam Me Up. What a classic!

[Tatsu]

Beam Me Up is for sure a classic and a great album, I still have to vote for Mechanical Dream.

 

Nice idea for a poll btw, Avi is among my favourite producers and it's nice to see him get some appeciation.

He lost all his credit long time ago though.

Tough battle between Progressive Trance, Beam me Up ! and Shapes Of Sound. While Progressive Trance is his best melodic work, Beam Me Up ! and Shapes Of Sound are better on production and twisted level. I still have to think about it before I vote it.

Why, because you don't like the music he produces nowadays or is there more behind it?

It's not only me Tatsu. I'm not sure if I know anybody except you who enjoys his music. It's the same thing that happened to IM but whereas Infected became rich and famous Space Cat didn't. You are welcome to compare Beam Me up against his recent output in terms of complexity and thought. You have to be deaf to disagree with me here... Let's see what the polls say.

I'm not sure but I think this means you answer my question with a yes then? So all artists who make now full-on have lost their credibility? Because nobody really likes full-on and everybody is just making it for the money? Of course I can not really tell if Avi actually likes his new music but since you say he is not rich and famous I take it as a hint that that it's at least possible. Also considering that I actually like full-on so it should in theory also be possible that the artists like it to (some of them at last). Just in theory: if he enjoys his music how can he have lost his credibility?

 

Either way: yes, I'm enjoying his latest outputs and yes they do sound different than his old stuff (at least the tracks on several comps I've heard, haven't listened to the latest Alien vs. the Cat album). Considering he still releases music I think there are others who like him too. And even if not and even if the poll would end up with people hating his new stuff, so what?! I would still like his music, also if he would be only in it for the money. It's the music that counts for me and not an image or what some people who listen to the "right" kind of psy think about the music or the artist.

 

Oh and I'm not saying that you have to like his music or full-on or whatever, I'm just a bit curious what that credibility thing means for you.

Progressive Trance by far!!! Only Phreaky tracks can top that!

Beam Me Up is great, but yeah a totally Hallucinogen rip off.

Shapes Of Sounds is great too.

Power Up is bad.

Mechanical Dream is trippy, but too clubby.

I take it you want to spread some gossip from the israely scene?!

Yeah, kind of.

Except if it's really psychedelic full-on, like Logic Bomb (who always played 'full-on' style, but not cheesy clubcrap) or at least has some decency, like some recent Cosmosis stuff.

[Oopie]

phreaky tracks are the best I reckon...

 

There are a few solid ones on beam me up too, I voted that.

[lumpi]

I expect him to produce dark psy any moment now.

Actually, that'd be awesome, I want to hear that...

 

As for his albums, I join in on "Beam me up"

[Goa Bill]

I have no problem with Full On per se. I have a problem with stagnation and degradation which is the case with Avi's music recently. Ok, he hasn't lost his melodic edge and he farts a good melody here and there (same as Talamasca basically) but he totally lost it on the trippiness factor. Listening to Scorb at the moment and while it's a good full on album it doesn't really grab me as good as his previous did.

[seraph]

Most definitely Progressive Trance. :clapping:

[DeathPosture]

+1

Still trippier than most fullon though

[Goa Bill]

Still trippier than most fullon though

No question there

[Maxx]

beam me up owns i still listen to that album now and then,this guy also produced one of the best uplifting full on tracks there is today imo Power up.!

[Blaze]

Forgot Phreaky, it's better than Space Cat, but Avi is like 1/5 of Phreaky so it doesn't count

[Blaze]
