Sideffect... Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Oh well, whatever. Mastering (as it's done these days) makes a lot more difference than bitrate+10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melancholyman Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 After having listened to this album quite some time now I have a kind of mixed bag. To me Filtertraces and Big Blue are the best psytrance tracks I've EVER heard. This beats anything, there's so much joy, power, just cheer amusement, and the feeling of traveling at hyperspeed is so amazing. It's a shame none of the other tracks appeal to me for some reason, but this album is worth buying solely for those two tracks. I just want to give Filteria all my thanks for creating two of the best psy-tracks ever made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastomer Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just for "Eyeless Observatory" I would've spent the money. Acid thunderstorm! I'd say the same, but for the "In The Heaven's Eye", tho all tracks are great. I also went to Helsinki to the album release party and it was really trippy + got the last CD from there:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 IMO the absolute best two (uptempo and downtempo respectively) electronica albums of 2009 to date are Filteria - Days of Our Lives and Solar Fields - Movements.Superb achievements by both artists.And Earthrise is very nice! The Pleadian+Hallucinogen influence combined with Filteria's fusion is magic, especially where it all culminates in the final act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.54 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Earthrise is my favorite track in this summer :drama: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunksan Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I just finisshed my first album and all I can say is: IT'S SUPERB As much I like the previous 2 albums I feel this is much more mature and more well-thought... The previous 2 I thought everything was just too loud, I liked them but this is just AAAAAAAA!!!! I love it!!! I see the Hallucinogen, Pleiadians, Prana and all ther other old-school artists influence all nicely packed and! Haven't been excited about an album like this in years!!!! I think it's much nicer than sky input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisBSF Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 They do sound similar yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 There's a lot of similarities in here to other tracks(I've found 3) but eh, what does it matter in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisBSF Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 It's only normal in my opinion that this type of things happen; similar styles of music using the same scales will inevitably end up in some melodies also being similar, plus when a melody works in your head there's a chance you're subconsciously remember something you've heard before. In my short experience this has happened to me twice, luckily someone noticed this before it was too late so I could make amends. Not a big deal at all.

Jon Cocco Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nice review Jon once again, always a pleasure to read. Btw.. it's the first time you give a full A to a "newschool" album isn't it? Thanks you. This is the first time I have given a full A to a new school album. It's nice to see readers who follow my reviews over the years. After three main albums over 5 years, this artist was determined to produce an album that according to many people throughout the world and myself, is wonderful. So he should probably take a break after this, but not quit producing. Surprisingly, my favorite Suntrip Record's release to date remains RA - 9th; I just loved the down, mid, and uptempo variety on that album, though I gave 9th a lower score. Nonetheless, Daze of Our Lives is awesome, beautiful, superb. While Sky Input has an intensity and sheer sensation unmatched, Daze of our Lives is more fluid, mature, intelligent, evolved, and varied with sounds, melodies, and atmospheres. It's enjoyable to listen to from beginning to end, far more than previous Filteria albums I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Updated my review a little if anyone cares. I should also comment that now that time has passed since the release, I don't find myself coming back to this album as often as I'd hope to. I'm not sure why that is, but when it comes to Sky Input and Heliopolis, I listen to them both weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzi Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 This is the album, which should be played to everybody who thinks, that trance music is the same. Sorry, but Merrow or E-Mantra could sell their music as eurotrance and there would be no difference (no offence, but please compare their melodies to melodies from ATB or Gigi d'agostino or Triesto - ehehehe do you see the difference? well, I'm not). Filteria "Daze of our lives" and the track Earthrise are for me, the fan of pure darkpsy but also hallucinogen and the early days goa albums, the best what could happen. Seriously. "Daze..." is great album, and I challenge everyman, who says, that it's not true:))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 I haven't listened to this album in a few months, but then again I haven't listened to Pleiadians I.F.O. (or most albums) in a while. I rarely like overplaying stuff, but decided to take it out again. There is a more color (refreshing elements via sounds, ideas) in this album than his previous two. I'm not fond of the over-reaching melody segments (that appear twice) in the second half of Infinite Regression. The end of Wormhole gets a little messy (less clarified) and could have been tightened up a bit. Lastly, the Float Away and Dissapear's intro and outro seems as if part of another track; they don't correlate as well in their transitioning, and the altered voice bit is a hit & miss IMO; it sounds like someone flipping a switch up and down manipulating the voice. Float Away's middle beat-driven Goa section is excellent, but could have gone on a little longer (the substantial part is only 3 minutes roughly) with more development, considering the intro/outro uses so much of the song's duration. It really is a great song! I realize nothing is perfect too. We'll occasionally find something less "ideal" to our ears, and I mention these things simply to put constructive feedback in the open for improvements in the future. The overall album has a fluid, smooth and delectible sound and feel, for the most part that few Goa albums reach to this degree. It's outstanding. This is, I feel the best Goatrance album of the last 5-10 years, though I realize not everyone will agree. It's far more evolved than the first two albums which I rarely listen to anymore. Jannis opened his sound up. In doing so, I find his work so much more enjoyable to to listen to. Thank you for this terrific release, Jannis/Filteria and Suntrip.

Tennant Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 This is an excellent album. Finally some innovation from Filteria. I was worried that he'd produce another album of just melody after melody, but this is really maturing.... the first track in particular. One album of powerful melodies is okay, but he's done well to respond to the feedback and criticism he got. If you're starting with filteria, I'd pick up Sky Input and this album, Heliopolis didn't give away much new in my opinion and was largely inferior to album #1. Keep producing Jannis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redington Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I think I've really taken a liking to Float Away & Disappear. It makes me smile everytime I play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neurogen Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I love this album. I think Filteria is the best goacore producer out there atm. He even surpasses Pleiadians when it comes to production value and "hit" songs. With this album he just crossed that line. What can I say.. Wormhole for instance.. BRA JOBBAT JANNIS!!!

Aspartic Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Earthrise and Wormhole are my favorites, for sure. But when I re-examined Eyeless Observatory upon Jon's review, oh my shit! It leaves bruises on those feet. Yes, this is Filteria's best. By far. It's a ruthless goa ass kicking you get and won't forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 *Filteria - Daze of Our Lives is on my list of Top 10 Goatrance Albums 1. Pleiadians - I.F.O. - A2. Hallucinogen - Twisted - A . . Filteria - Daze of Our Lives - A Edited to ensure these are Goa albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amithaba_buddha Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Omg. So many mixed reviews about Jannis music and 'new skool' and eteceteras... Much respect to Jannis & his music (because that's all i can think it is). Great inlay cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healium Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 *Filteria - Daze of Our Lives is on my list of Top 10 Goatrance Albums. 1. Pleiadians - I.F.O. - A 2. Hallucinogen - Twisted - A 3. Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger - A 4. Filteria - Daze of Our Lives A For some reason I think of Hallucongen's 2 albums as psytrance rather than goatrance - Hallucinogen and Koxbox both sound more psy than goa to me, for that time period.. Though I understand that those years were before psytrance per se.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Unit Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Gotta say I never was a huge fan despite owning all his music including digital. This album is pretty good for what he does but Suntrip has release much classier work like E-Manta, Artifact303, Mindsphere, Goasia & Afgin. Never got the fuss over his first two albums.
