Skyloops – Insane. I didn’t like the project name nor the album title. I didn’t think the cover art was good because it looked kind of cheap with the font and the sky from above. The very first time I rushed through the album I thought it sounded unprofessional and immature, it sounded to me like some Ok music made by a couple of teenagers with loads of good ideas and a thing for pitching up the music speed - It didn't sound good enough to be released on a physical format. So I was sure the Skyloops project would die faster than a banana fly and go in the deep and eternal pile of forgotten artists. These where my thoughts about the album and I didn’t return to its sounds until a month later …

 

Skyloops, with its suiting name as the music goes in wonderful loops while flying so high up in the sky it touches space where gravity seem to be nonexistent – Its almost a tad insane to fly that high, above the sky. This album is about hyper fast energy with a lot of classic trance feel to it covered in loads of charm and retrodelic shine wrapped in a comfortable blanket covered in beautiful glitter. The tempo is hasty and the vibe is rioting for peace and liberation from our own stupidity. Granted that it seems to sound a bit amateurish with a lot of acid doses but when you listen closer through the album you will realize how complex and delightful it sounds with multiple layers in the true Goa-Trance spirit with a sweet acid touch in their astral precisions. This album is highly addictive and you will for sure like and appreciate the effort put in by Skyloops more and more for each listen. I totally love this debut for its mad raving energy, innocence in feel and its power to make you fly like a hundred million missiles filled with love and star-dusted flowers. As the album progresses to its Outro track the BPM’s are lowered down and you also get a fun filled track with a sample from the Ramones. Hey ho! Let’s Go!

 

Skyloops is the psychedelic Goa-trance project of the lovers Sebastian Strazza and Mariana Zarankin (Sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G since the year 2000 he he) from Buenos Aires, Argentina. They both had a musical interest from an early age so in the end of 2004 Sebastian started DJ’ing with great success and Mariana started to produce psychedelic trance parties called Under Attack. Later they started to produce their own psychedelic trance music which means the good couple is living their dream, because dreams like these deserve to come true, the dream of expressing what is in the soul.

 

 

Recommendation: Expect a hybrid sound of dirty retrodelic electro Goa-Trance pumped up with hard raspy acid-techno and drenched with layers of psychedelic trance’n’dance vibes at its finest. Their debut album Insane gives us a full range of sounds and BPM’s that kisses the 150 + mark. They are truly pushing the edge of what one would expect from a FullOn morning project - Yes a morning project with high as a kite Beats Pr. Minutes ready to make you escalate above the earth-ground. Take a leap into the stratosphere and beyond and you will be propelled into orbit whizzing by satellites and questioning aliens alike! You like to trance, you will defiantly like to Skyloop!! Insane is recommended with all of my heart. If I were to diss this release it would be by my initial words of this review and the fact that the album has a couple of fillers and some cheese samples from Transformers and X-Men, and I fear that this release will go fairly unnoticed around our corners - Shame. But give it a chance like I did and enjoy life, dreams and love. And remember, get high, it’s good for you.

Nice album. Sounds a bit amateurish in both arrangement and production, but it's pure fun.

 

6.5/10

Hey, nice and honest review.

I sometimes catch myself in the same situation when you hear some release and you really don't like it the first time, but time passes, you change and everything changes around, you go back to that same release, somehow... start liking it a lot.

 

Will definately grab this one. It rocks.

It's a good album but I think "Predators - Cosmos" provides a better space-flight with less chedda.
