Trance2MoveU Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Artist: PharaOm Title: Awakening Bodhisattva Label: Underground Alien Factory Date: November, 2009 1. Awakening Bodhisattva (8:09) 2. Yamantaka (8:40) 3. White Tara (8:15) This is the 3rd release from netlabel Underground Alien Factory headed by Imba. PharaOm is, well...I don't know who he is. French I believe and this is his first release. Once again, this gem is available for free on the Psynews artist news section. The cover is of 3 ancient temples deep in a jungle against a purple sky. This let's you know what type of music you are in for. A trip back to the glory days of Goa, where melodies were king and sunshine was the standard. The synths are nicely tweaked and they rise and fall under his control creating a fluid landscape of dance. "Yamantaka" gurgles its way to the surface giving way to a hugely spacious pad as the native drums gather momentum until another lead dominates. My favorite, "White Tara" starts of with a native plucked instrument and a pensive tabla over a barely perceptible deep bassline. Very rich! By the 4th minute the synth is twirling high above being held only by the ever present tabla. Truly a tune to get lost in. This was a wonderful visit to the goa of yesteryear and I enjoyed it very much. This netlabel is quite proficient at putting out quality EP's with artists that are very competent. It has me wondering what is next to be released. Definitely one to watch. Highly recommended. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
