They were expressing the 5th dimension, I'm sure! Knowingly or unknowingly. Sometimes we do things subconciously, before we become concious. I've also never been religious, at all. It's interesting how goatrance, has always had themes of spirituality scattered throughout - like right in front our faces. Be it samples from movies, or just the atmospheres the producers have created. For me, something happened at the start of the year, and I started to feel the energies that surround us. At that point I saw what goatrance really was for me - and probably for many others. It is our collective soul, expressed in specific patterns of vibrations. I believe it is a way to tap into the greater. It is love. Let's keep supporting those that express it for us. Be it verbally, mentally or monetarily. We who consume are as important as those who create. Let's keep reminding everyone to keep at it. For some reason I just had an urge to share this and I'm happy you guys seem to get it! 🖤

Dimension 5 - TransStellar (2013) 1. Iron Sun Rmx 2. Temple of Chaos 3. Blue Pyramid 4. Ganymede 5. Phoenix 6. The Zarkon Principle 7. Intastella 8. Tribes of the moon This is a limited print (SUNCDLE02), only available on Suntrip website! http://www.suntriprecords.com/news/ Here we are again, with a new album of Dimension 5 between quotes. We already had "TransAddendum" just released with some great tracks. But "TransStellar" tops it imo. This release contains very good tracks but has a continue of quality from the first to the last minute just like "Transdimensional" and "Second Phaze". Compared to "TransAddendum" that had a longer build up, "TransStellar" provides direct full blown melodic tracks that inspire me and it keeps going on and on until the end. I really like the "uptempo" atmosphere of Dimension 5 baselines and fast spirals, 303 lines and floating melodies. This is music that will do it's work on parties but is also great for listening at home. I haven't found any dull moment until now and I don't think it's going to happen. "TransStellar" contains a lot off tracks from 1996 - 1997. Most of them rare, some of the track are remixes, and some have been released before on compilations, But I would prefer to review this release as an entire new release. I'll review track by track but try to only highlight what is good, different, remarkble. I'll try not to describe every sound if that's ok. 1. Iron Sun Rmx Iron Sun rmx is good start. We already know this track as the first track of "Transdimensional" and I like this rmx better. It's more serious, less fluffy, faster and filled with varied sounds. The uptempo atmosphere what I mentioned before is directly there and it won't go away. 2. Temple of Chaos Temple of Chaos has a great intro. A good mystic atmosphere coming together with a spiral that dominates the beginning off the track, shaped and reformed. Dimension 5 chooses for a full melody as next to come that grows bigger and bigger and strengthen along the track. Faster and more aggressive, euphoric. Certainly one of the best tracks on this release... 3. Blue Pyramid Blue pyramid is a pearl. This is defiantly in my top 5 best Dimension tracks all the time with the new remastering which is a gift. The 303 melodies is more then inspiring and has a little "psycho psychedelic" touch. Something which we are not familiar with an artist that has always endeavored for subtle, warm trance. It's just perfect and mind bending. You don't have to be a dimension 5 fan to love this track. Any goatrance listener could find this amazing (with some exceptions off course, but the rating will be much higher.) 4. Ganymede Is again not new but still does it's work fine. Lost of you guys probably know this track. The baseline is again uptempo but the melodies and spiral are bit slower compared to the previous track. A good break for a further journey. 5. Phoenix Is a regular Dimension 5 track as you can expect from Dimension 5, nothing special but it contains all the elements it should contain and you won't be disenchanted. it's again more uptempo in it's melodies and fit's perfectly in the uptempo atmosphere we are experiencing. 6. The Zarkon Principle. is the same as Phoenix imo, no need to repeat myself... 7. Intastella Has a more varied built up, more original melodies. I was kinda waiting for this, hoping the rest of the release won't all be regular tracks. I have this continue feeling something great is coming and I'm really hoping it does. And than it happens at exactly 4min 16sec. Excellent! What a warm melody, what a turn out of events. This nostalgic neverending feeling what attracted me so much to goatrance when I discovered raids me. Just in time 8. Tribes of the moon has a totally different baseline pattern but I'm glad it's not an ambient track they are closing with. Again a dominated melody creates bliss. Conclusion: This was one of the hardest reviews I ever written. Although I'm Dimension 5 fan I don't know all the tracks. Some I have in lousy mp3 because they are to rare to find, so it's like discovering a new track because I don't listen to low bitrate for years. This initiative is great that we can experience those rare tracks in perfect quality. Great job Suntrip,Dimension 5 & Tim Schuldt. If you are new to goatrance and you like morning trance this will be money well spent. If you are one of those lucky guys that already gathered it all through the years, and since I'm not one of those. I don't know, your call I have been listening to this release almost daily and never skipped a track or stopped halfway. Keep it coming Grtz Koen!
