You are the man! thanx alot!!

come on people.. there must be some real heads here on psynews who can help me out..

Heard this superb neo-goa track this superb sunny saturday in stockholm at a 1000 man strong innercity day doof, a party with a timewarping vibe of India or Byron Bay 1995, not Sweden 2005. A party of the kind and vibe that I never thought would happen again.. Anyway.. Dj Morg or someone else played this amazing track with these oldschool munjiga (Jew's Harp) sounds. The sample went "Post Traumatic Disorder" or "Post Traumatic Syndrome" maybe.. Guys Help me out!!!

True Freedom. Everytime one of my old techno-partners in crime comes over to my gaff he starts going on about this song and always demands to hear it. Now this track is pure trance escapism at its finest moment. Now, if this is not a KILLER, then what else is. And no I can't agree with the person above who says this track could have been better. Don't bother with the drone IIV track. It's like a monotonous prototype track of the true freedom track, without the kicks, the breaks, the samples and the hooks. Similar to doof's old monotonous "trance-mixes" on the flipsides of his ep's, however not anywhere as good as his.

Best track "Code - Parsifal (The Grand Architect Mix)" I have Feed your Head 1 & 2 on cd. But the one you really should get is "Feed your Head 3 - Accelerating the Alpha rythms" which I only have on LP. This album kicks some real ass. One of my favourite ambient collections.

When we are talking oldschool trance you can almost put Platipus in third position after the larger-than-life imprints Eye-Q on first place and Superstition on second place. Clanger - Seadog is one of my alltime favourites in this sunny happy style. I think it is stupid to not call tracks such as "Technossomy - Electon Bender", "Salamander : Tempest (Union Jack Rmx)" and "Union Jack : Two Full Moons And A Trout" goa-trance even though I can't speak for the mixes exept in the case of Salamander (also released stuff as Moonweed). This stuff was played at the parties together with goa at the time, and if you wheren't down then maybe you should keep your voice down a bit.

Now this is some classic timeless stuff. Absolutely essential. I have had so many great moments with this music in my ears. However calling it morning-trance is to take it a bit too far. Great Ethnic Ambient-chill. track 3-8 are the best. It's that damn good that I want a cd-copy of it too, I just have the vinyl-version.

Well Christian Llopis is one of the forerunners of the newschool progressive techno-trance sound here in the south of the north hemispehere. Originating from Örebro and now living in Copenhagen this guy have at several occations made a great impression on me and given me a wonderful time at the dancefloor a few years ago. So naturally I was very eager to hear his own productions since I was a big fan of his sets. The two tracks I've downloaded this far however didn't stand up to my expectations. But just as Nois here above says, Llopis is best heard on the dancefloor of a big outdoor system, and his songs probably don't go well for homelistening anyway. So until I've heard more from Llopis i'll rather prefer to have him behind the decks than on the disk.

And go straight to the flipside.. Full On is the one. Say no more.

Ugly cover, great happy trance from the Biot guy from Bochum Ton Manufactur (BTM).

I had incredibly high expectations when I first heard this album since the cover is absolutely beautiful, needless to say I was let down since I had extremely high expectations and thought this was an all-out goa album, and in the end I din't buy it. Since I got the Gods Eye 12" I started to change my opinion about the poppier album version of the song. I actually really like it and especially the lyrics. This might seem really silly to some but for me the song seems to convey a message of how the band went to goa in order to find enlightment but instead became desillusioned by the promise goa couldn't keep. Prepared to leave the surreal spiritual world they experienced in india for the ordinary world's rainy streets of Copenhagen. "Sayonara cowboy, you can take my place", leaving the mission to someone else to try to find the enlightment promised by the now rather shattered naivistic dream of the goa revolution. So now I really regret that I didn't buy this album when I had the chance. Thanks for the exellent review Inukko. For more oldschool action from Ian Ion, try to dig up the "shiva's edit" version of "Wow mr. Yogi" on the dusty old Coma Records compilation "Mermaid Trax" along with the track "Crystal" by "Koxbox"

The psychedelic-sounding stuff never was Massimo Vivona's strong side. However Just as Sebastian and ukiro says, this man is a legend and have made various at the time incredibly groundbreaking and creative killer-tracks released on his two own imprints that always will stay on my alltime top-list. Respekt. However if this sounds anything like the really crappy jinglebells ep on flying rhino then keep away and instead try digging up some of his progressive stuff on some of his old vinyl-releases or get the massimo vivona - 001 album.

Just as the person above wrote before me: Massimo Vivona is the original innovator whom everyone have copied. Massimo is to techno what timbaland is to modern r'n'b. Respect where respect is due. Check out his old productions on his labels headzone and groundgroove if you still can find anything lying around. Too bad that a lot of people into the scene today know hardly anything about the past. Everyone's raving about the digital structures boys (no diss, love your stuff boys) but no one has heard of massimo vivona. Check our fansite at www.kluster.org/headgroove/

Guys. This Album is freaking exellent. Bought it from the second-hand boxes at at techno store. This sounds just as fresh today as then. maybe people didn't get it back then but I've always liked Jens Valdebäcks style. (Is he swedish btw?) Wery interesting and well-produced sounds, all tracks are good enough according to me. Sensitive and beautiful music. But what is the album-title and the text "get one now - soon it will be illegal" refeering to? 8/10
