Let's have an electric universe game

[Penzoline]

So with the cheesy fillers in the last 3 EU albums Silence In Action, Higher Modes and Sonic Ecstasy - 32 tracks in total - I thought of choosing your very favorites(if you have any) and then re-arranging those into a solid full-on album. Making your cover is a bonus!

 

Actually it might even be fun creating the very worst album you can from these 3 albums. Go for it by all means!

 

You can choose tracks from the burning album too, but beware, there's vocals.

Topic nailer. Nutn more to add.

He was just awful live when he performed here a while ago.

[IronSun]

Hehe, fun idea penzo but I too have to admit that I haven't listened to anything by electric universe after cosmic experience

[Penzoline]

Aww

[RTP]

Thanks a lot for this thread ... Electric Universe is coming to play live here and I don't really know if I should go so I wanna listen to stuff to see what he's doing now ... last stuff I heard was many ages ago ... so this really comes in handy for me now

 

I would mention Gaijin Rocker in your best of though. I find that one not bad, first half especially.

I bought Unify (2xLP) brand new. It was good.

 

Cosmic Experience had a few good riffs hidden somewhere in a big barrel of cheese. Didn't buy that one.

 

After that...five seconds of the first sample have usually told more than I wanted to know. I'll pass.

[Penzoline]

Hell, I will make a mix of these tracks for you guys so you can at least check out if he can do anything good these days!

I wouldn't even go that far. As far back as "Blue Planet" the albums started becoming just a couple decent tracks surrounded by mediocre or worse filler. Not even necessarily bad, just boring. "Cosmic Experience" was even a step up from the previous few; it jumped headfirst into the fullon style where the previous few flirted with it, but turned out better for it.

 

Side note, I just took a look at Discogs and discovered there's an entire album among the early ones I was unaware of: "Waves".

exactly. i'd still classify blue planet as good album of old electric universe, but the following 2 were just mediocre. and cosmic experience includes two tracks (morning star and the prayer), that'd easily make it in my 10 best fullon tracks list . but anything after cosmic experience…

[CosmoNaughty]

I think this is a very unfair thread Electric universe still make some great music and as a live psy act are truely enjoyable, which is not something you can say so often nowadays.

There are people here who like some fullon, I do for example.

[IronSun]

I sometimes listen to full-on too... It's not that I hate the genre in itself either, I just don't know too many good full-on acts. To party on it can be quite nice, however for homelistening I just prefer Goa, ambient and forest.

Hah, and that's nothing compared to the (g)old psynews era

[KozmikTentacles]

Listening to Science of Ecstacy now. Good stuff!

i love fullon (not as much as goa but still)! the problem is that there isn't that much good fullon anymore. from around 2002 to 2006 there was a lot of it, afterwards it became formulaic-always-the-same-sounding-with-more-and-more-cheese; nowadays (with some notable exceptions) it's getting more and more "minimal-ized" with bleeps and stupid kick/bass patterns that stop and therefore break the flow every couple of bars. that's not the fullon i love and know, with cosmic melodies that take you to different worlds.

 

this is fullon with soul that puts you in trance and takes you on a journey:

i'd be very happy for recommendations of similar fullon released 2012.
