Skytrancer Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 They say today : "Joy" is from another project for another album which will be called "The Astral Project". hopefully this album will be out after "Open Society" some time the end of this year or the beginning of next year, but dont worry you gonna get a killer Astral Projection album with Open Society in the next few months. with many singles before then (we finally won the trial with BNE so finally we can release this martial and much more) Cheers :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb820 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 That's a big relief. I'm happy for Avi and Lior. While Joy doesn't sound very interesting, the album is finally being released, not to mention a large chunk of their works have been uploaded to their store.

ion1zed Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Man, it's AP. I'm glad that things seem to be settled. Well, just about 1 month 'til the release...can't wait for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom! Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 hmm I would say I can't wait, but a lot of APs new material hasn't really been big for me. Humans will play for Robots was awful imo. Hoping some of the other stuff on the album will be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I hope they realise that Open Society sounds way too progressive. What they really need is a 145 bpm with rich melodies and a new approach to Goa trance. I am their fan, but honestly I didn't like their last releases.

ion1zed Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Admitted, the last releases were not that great, except for the 2009 Remix of Jarre's Oxygen, I absolutely loved that one and it was by far the best on that remix album. I mean, when I was a child, I listened to JMJ because my parents listened to it back then. Maybe that was even my first contact with electronic music, and now AP made such an awesome remix. In my dreams I can see JMJ and AP perform together in La Defense...man, it would be unbelievable. Thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"You want a release date ?, In april the first two weeks" Is this really -- finally -- going to come true? First half of April? Hope it's not another hoax ... there have been too many already concerning this... I'd buy it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted D*U*O Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Waiting for a full album sucks... But the Blissdom EP is pretty damned good, IMHO. Yes, it's chock full of Israeli bounciness. So those who are prone to not liking such thing, sorry. I've got to give AP props for sticking with what they know. Unlike their counterparts, Infected Mushroom, whom continuously insist that the garbage they are putting out is psytrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malevol3nt Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'm totally giving up hope. This is their new EP: Joy Ep Click on each track for a preview. 6 versions of fail. Bah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Gaah! it seems they thought "hey, let's sound like Depeche Mode, back in 84?". that's what JOY is all about: ultra-retro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2kx Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Guys, "Joy" has nothing to do with their upcoming album. This will be part of another project that might materialize in early 2011. Actually Astral Projection try to go back a bit to their earlier style while combining it with modern culture and technology. Also many of the tunes that have been heard over the past few years won't feature anymore on the new album, but newer work will take their place. Also because of some reasons that are for the positive, the album won't be released in early April as originally planned but it will happen within the next two months. I for one am more excited for this project than anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am more excited for this project than anything else! d2kx speaks the truth here... But since it's been brought up, would you blame them for going this route? Look at the "success" of Infected Mushroom over the past couple years. Up to about 2006, seeing Infected play live in the states took a miracle from the Goa Gods. But then they changed their sound and now are marketed as the "ambassadors" of psytrance. Even though what they play now isn't "psytrance." Yah they sold out on their core fanbase, but now they're playing arena raves at $50 a ticket and headlining commercialized festivals (like Coachella for three years straight). After seeing the "success" of this marketing plan, it makes sense that Astral Projection would want a piece of it. But I digress... This is a SIDE PROJECT not the evolution of Astral Projection. Oh... and I like 1984 Depeche Mode (much more than the newer stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 @ Twisted: don't get me wrong. I LOVE Depeche Mode and the likes. New Order, all those wonderful tracks of the mystical 1980's. What I meant is that JOY is surprisingly 1980's - and if we want to hear tracks from the 80's, then we have so many real good songs. We don't need AP doing that. What they do really well is Goa Trance. Oh my! Strangelove just came to my mind, I youtubed it and now I feel nostalgic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb820 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 It doesn't get more electro/romantic/industrial than Music for the Masses. Depeche Mode made synths and drum machines sexy to the general public. About the new AP album, I sincerely hope it has new material on it. An older tracklist several years ago had all the tracks they have released since then alongside remixes of Open Society, and The Prophecy.

I think AP should stick to making great Goa/Psytrance. Maybe if they wanted to go a more abstract way and explore new sounds, some nice psybient!!!... All I was stating is that in comparing to Infected Mushroom, whom changed sounds and found a much broader audience (and an insane amount of bookings/record sales), it would make sense for AP to follow that model. But hopefully, they still have their integrity and they don't sell out like IM did. As for Depeche Mode... They're my all-time faves. My first concert ever was at the Rose Bowl for the Music for the Masses tour in 1988. The same in which they did the 101 Documentary and live album for. It was a pinnacle moment for me musically.

mars Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 For me it's very simple: I can wait 5 more years if I'm guaranteed to have a sublime album in the end. I know they can do it, so I'm gonna wait, full of hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
