Second album from Turkish artist Limiti, following closely on the release of Information Is Creation.

Micronic Calculation is space goa trance all the way, and this nice artwork suggests so!

 

1. Always (9:13) is a slow track that sounds like a mix of progressive and goa trance. Brilliant intro, groovy bassline. I love the fact that the music is allowed to breathe, not too many layers at the same time. Many melodies to open this album. 7:45 nice change of direction to finish in beautiful fashion.

Top notch track I think one of the best I have heard from last year.

 

2. Alpha Centaurian Ways (9:12) will rise a few eyebrows. At 143 BPM we get more power and the atmosphere is weird with some melodies sounding out of tune. Probably deliberately...make your own opinion. It is for sure different and again very melodic, even though the direction is not clear at all. Surprising to say the least.

 

3. Starplan: Ascension Of Galaxies (7:25) is on the experimental side bringing a few vocals to the table. The trance is slow (115 BPM) and somehow sounds melancholic, emotional, some synths are really beautiful. Not sure why but I think of Infected Mushroom by the way this track is built, the key changes at the end create something pretty unique. Lovely track.

 

4. Love Is A Frequency (9:07) is again kind of experimental, this time at much higher speed. Rolling bassline with fast psychedelic sounds all over the place, like a flying saucer travelling at the speed of light. Big thumbs up for the psychedelic part between 4:30 and 5:15. New direction taken at 5:30, even though it does sound amateur with melodies completely unrelated to each other, this freshness has its charm and makes you smile!

 

5. Infinitum Aeternus (vs Sourcerer) (8:24) gets aggressive from the very beginning. Same recipe as the previous track but at 160 BPM, the track really goes anywhere and everywhere though, with not so convincing elements. Not my style and too fast for me.

 

6. Morphodimensional (vs Yesil) (9:06) has a nice melodic intro but the rest of the first half fails to create anything special (with IMO a useless triplet part at 4:00). But past the 5th minute mark it gets much better. Expect some unpredictable synths with fresh goa melodies (some of them are a bit Chi-A.D. like), loving the part at 7:15. Definitely a cool track to end the journey.

 

Nothing to lose here as it is a free release, and it was certainly worth a check. Listening to this album was overall a pleasant experience even though it does sound amateur at times, there is room for improvement but you gotta like the enthusiasm. Track #1 is incredibly refreshing, track #3 is definitely something special, other tracks have nice moments especially tracks #4 and #6. Vital Mastering did a good job too.
