Penzoline Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Fragletrollet is Magnus Støren Wedén (88) from Norway. Origianally born several milennas ago, he has gone through intensive incarnations to harvest different types of perspectives, all in order to be capable of presenting you with a interesting and emotional psychedelic minndscapes for infinite mystical experiences both on the dancefloor aswell as on the couch at home. Fragletrollet is about fantasy, fun and intense emotions all boiled together in a big steamy trollelixir. This makes his style quite innovative, ranging from goa, electronica, hardcore and psychedelia you will probably never hear something quite like Fragletrollet. The music mixes all different types of mindsets, mixing the deepest hell with the utmost bliss... you have to have experienced it all, in order to really understand and appreciate. Have fun listening, and when you have problems making your body sync to the beat, just remember that you can dance with your mind aswell! Peace & Love! Enter the spiritual energy system past the void... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Clg1As8Q3I8 Why is there no more appreciation for this visionary artist? He's made some of the most intelligent goa(psy)trance ever. Releases on a handful of compilation having tracks that trounce the others with it's unique and refined flavour and having a full album released that takes an insanely twisted mind bending dark journey through trippy scando forests. Almost every track that's made by him has such smooth storytelling progression that it makes you wonder how long must he work on the stuff he makes. It's really nothing like other darker psy or goa. There's such intelligence and vision. It reminds me of so high quality acts being merged together, like Pleiadians(Progression/quality), Ubar Tmar(Crazy, yet intelligent sounds), Tamlin (Sheer colourful explosion), Principles Of Flight (Storytelling), Ka-Sol (Scando sound). And whenever he opts for heavy melodic production, those melodies are monstrously good. The future however doesn't seem too bright as there has been no new releases at all.. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL7MFWYytmM Please be open minded and give this wonderful album a chance. http://www.psynews.o...-records-media/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotwang Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Why is there no more appreciation for this visionary artist? To be fair, he did come eighth in the Best of the Noughties poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panoptes Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So whats so visionary about this? ahhhh just not my cup of tea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juril Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I bought this album (back when I was new to psytrance and hadn't discovered psynews yet) because I loved the cover. Definitely one of my favorite albums, I especially love that the whole album tells a single epic story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaISM Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Not really impressed with this to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JISNEGRO Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Playground of Spirit is one of the best darkpsy (if it can be called darkpsy) album imo. I love the fact that the whole album is a continuous journey through the forest and takes the listener to some magical places, the transitions between tracks are very well made using some kind of cinematographic orchestral music. Another thing that I like about him is that he has a very distinctive sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXCbP-erUH0 Just oh my god. Noone else does this shit. This literally feels like it's a real evolution from 90s goatrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophila Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not really impressed with this to be honest. Have you heard this track, no need to be a forest lover to like, quite ingenious if you ask me! Very hypnotic http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc16VhBP0l4 But agree with Penzoline, this guy needs a lot more appreciation! He definitely brings new cookies to the table, and tasty ones I might add Would really like to see him being booked for some of the psychedelic gatherings this summer, I think this kind of music deserves to be heard in a magical outdoor setting, like the one at Ozora... but I doubt the organizers will book him, they are way to conservative if you ask me.... maybe at Boom?!

travbrad1001 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think I voted this as #1 in one of those yearly "Best of" psynews polls, so there are some people who appreciate it. Really unique and highly psychedelic stuff. You can tell a lot of love went in to it, every sound seems perfectly placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
