Artist: Various Title: Tranceformers Label: Yellow Sunshine Explosion Date: June, 2006 1. Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene (Andromeda Remix) 2. Ibojima - Situations 3. Chomosome Vs. Ibojima - Accelerating Into Oblivion 4. S>range - Another Theory (Chromosome Remix) 5. Zekazy - Worker or Whacko 6. Chomosome Vs. Endorian - Midnight Express 7. Endorian - The Only Braincell Left 8. Deedrah - Take It or Leave It 9. Galactika Vs. Alexander Ligowski - Escape From Heaven 10. Chomosome - Genetic Superstar Should I buy this? Hmm...there you go. When the toaster told you what to do did you make the transforming sound? Yeah ya did. I wish this would transform into a better compilation. Optimus Prime should've requested a better soundtrack than these full-on cliches. Seriously they need to get those bass lines under control before someone gets hurt. Two tracks in and I was already firing up the candy crush. I mean come on...Oxygene is already pretty cheesy. It's like you caught the dog peeing on the carpet and just said f*ck it and then pissed on the recliner. There is a time and a place for full-on that has yet to be determined, but I'm pretty sure it's not when we're awake. Track 8 is like the worst superhero movie ever made. Galactika Vs...my mother-in law's cousin's accountant. That was the artist name you chose? One thing I do know...if music was the power the Autobots needed for battle (energon) than I hope you enjoy Decepticon enslavement.

"We'll smoke the pipe and there will be no lies between us." She is so baked. If this is what the truth sounds like I'd prefer you to lie to me. Let's start with the poor sound quality. I own this disc and it's full of crackles and distortion on the kick. That gives it that vintage feel so I'm not getting my panties in a twist over it. What I will quibble with is the music. You can make the argument that this sounds pretty psychedelic. However you can also make the stronger and more correct argument that this is rather minimal or a foray into experimental noise. You wanna say that the Luna Orbit track is the best? Fine. Might as well say that at least I don't have a paper cut on my penis. I suppose the merits of this would be directly proportional to how high you were. Since I'm drug free, I'll scowl at this with withering disapproval. Nothing memorable here. In fact I would almost prefer to fold laundry or do the dishes than have to listen to it again. And I hate folding laundry.

Artist: Various Title: Psychic Orgasm Vol. 1 - Psychedelic Trance Mission Label: Music Mine Inc. Date: April, 1998 1. K.U.R.O - Vision of Mars (Core Mix) 2. Psychaos - Future Rocks 3. Human Blue - Stone Henge 4. Darshan - Mind Merge 5. Elysium - Illusive World 6. Orion - Rooster 7. Ololiuqui - Chitty Bang 8. Talamasca - Tribal Journey 9. The Pollinator - Clone III Just an fyi...that's uh, not included with disc purchase. Sometimes at 4 am you just need some old school goa trance. And this is a solid bit of that. All the tracks are that very good, churning goa. No over the top melodies or spectacular tracks that cast a large shadow over just good ones. Just solid, pumping music. The track names are a little f*cked up, but Discogs will set you straight. Psychaos totally wrecks sh*t with Future Rocks while Stone Henge from Human Blue has that deep throated goa growl. Mind Merge is a high tempo bit of class and Illusive World is a mid-tempo stomper. Psychedelic? Surely. Orgasmic? Might be a stretch. But unless you lost both of your hands in a freak typing accident you can take care of that all by yourself, right? Highly recommended.

Skeptical hippo has been down this road before. Welcome to the first in a five part series called...y'all ain't foolin' nobody! How many times have we seen it. Compilations screaming goa from the rooftops, but upon further inspection we discover the emperor is butt ass nekkkid! But I'm about to get to the, uh...bottom of this. That's right...I'm bout to go deep under cover. Y'all be like "Where Mike at?" I gots 5 volumes of Planet Goa and am on a mission to find out how much of it is actually goa related. My guess? 80/20 the wrong f*cking way. The German portion sounds very German. Clinical and precise without a lot of variation. Simple bass lines, takes forever to get to the f*cking point...you know what I'm talking about. A few observations: Blah has a thumping bass line, but really lived up to its track title. Sneaky Spasm - Blah II...the yawning. Memory Bubbles - Classic from PS with shimmery melodies and alien sounds. The class of the first disc. Hope - As in I hope the Germans don't f*ck up the rest of this compilation. Dated dream trance. Hale Bopp - More Gernan dream trance precision. Timid and harmless. Moving on. Ten Minutes To Sunset - I kinda liked it. It threatened to take off and become bad ass, but then dovetailed into a drunk guido from the Jersey shore after last call screaming "Do you know who the f*ck I am!?!" Uh, no...no I don't. Martian Arts - Zzzzzz..... Galactric - Most of this sounded like he was trying to figure out how to turn his equipment on. It got better, but only just. Evil Playground - You can never go wrong with some industrial and Tim doesn't disappoint with this psychedelic beast of a remix. Power Gen - It's Astral back when Astral knew how to be Astral. Lepton Head (Deedrah Remix) - Absolute classic goa trance. Casio-Paya - Good stuff from CS. And it's not easy for me to say that. Radiohead (Remix) - German masters make psytrance. Not bad. Into the Static - Meh. Hundreds of Sunsets - Stabilise - The track flatlined until nearly the 4 minute mark and then received a 303 transplant to rise from the dead! Fun game...how many times is the word stabilise repeated? Answer...too many. Illucinate - Gets pretty crazy on the back end. The sample "Just how far will some people go...for a thrill?" is awesome. More awesome than the track unfortunately. I Think...that this track didn't live up to its potential. It's actually not a bad compilation with some really good goa mixed in with some not terrible psytrance. Final tally...8 goa tracks out of 18 and I suppose that's being generous. So around a 60/40 spilt. How much you wanna bet that value will increase as the volumes do?

"So...what you're saying is this guy is a total whacko!?!" What happened to him? Dunno, was mumbling something about Lois and an open back door. Wanna draw a dick on his face? Try and stop me! *whispers* Isn't MDMA supposed to stimulate you and keep you awake? This did not do those things. Well the first third anyway. Perhaps it didn't accomplish those things 15 years ago when it came out. But this is an example of a compilation that almost puts yo to sleep and then rouses you from said blissful slumber. The first three tracks are on the uneventful side and sound like unst unst music. Kinda minimal without adequate storytelling. There's a Skazi track here that may tell you more than I ever could. GMS also has a presence here, but surprisingly their remix is one of the bright spots. Acidic psychedelic full-on that also manages to have a dreamy quality. Pitch Black from the Sound Farmers (GMS and Earthling) is powerful and bubbly with great use of delay and reverb with of course some samples from the movie. In:Synch from Future Prophecy is dark and metallic with a rumbly quality. Win for me as I've never really liked anything they've put out. Shakta gets funky and do no wrongs Etnica close things out with the lone goa track which is nowhere near their best yet still manages to be respectable. If you're in the mood for dark techno influenced trance you could do worse than this. Surprisingly a good share of the tracks hold up well today.

Artist: Various Title: Manga Label: Yabai Records Date: October, 2007 1. Dirty Motion - Daniel 2. Damage - Flipside 3. B-55 - Manga 4. Phatmatix - Don't Get Me Mad 5. Outer Signal & Dapanji - El Diablo 6. Lost & Found - Reflux 7. Azax Syndrom & Shift - How Do You Stop It (Remix) 8. Toxic - Lost In Osaka Remix 9. Tube - Eraze The System "I just need to ask you this...how do you stop it?" This is me racing to the sh*tter after a cup of coffee and a banana. Oh Yabai, where have you gone? In a world where gay people are murdered by other gay people struggling to come to terms with their own identity you are needed now more than ever before. Yabai was a label that was the Asian ying to the South African Timecode yang. Dark full-on with a f*ckton of eerie melodies. Perhaps if you were still around he could've been dancing to music like this instead of shooting people. I'm not blaming Yabai for the recent Orlando, FL massacre, but the world is hurting and we clearly need more great music. And there are some really good tracks from Phatmatix, Lost & Found, and of course the pairing of Shift with Azax. That said all is not rainbows and unicorns. Some tracks are full of stops and starts, cheesy samples, and build ups. I'm looking at you El Diablo and Osaka. Overall a good comp with acidic craziness, but it could've been better. I'd link to it, but Yabai has shut down and the only place to find their stuff is on Discogs for ridiculous prices. Save your money, it ain't worth all that.

"We have to see...we have to know." His strength appears to be the multilayered darkness that tumbles over you in waves. More you struggle, the deeper you go. Plenty of lush synth sounds as well as the harsh tones of despair. That's when his music is the most interesting to me. The sample work is excellent, but when he lightens things up it gets a bit too repetitive. It does tend to drone on a bit doesn't it? I'll sum it up like this...I liked it, but it's a chore to get through it.

Artist: E-Mantra Title: Signals EP Label: Melusine Records Date: March, 2016 1. Moon Horns (Re-Edit) 2. Ectoplasm (Re-Edit) 3. Liquid Frequencies (Re-Edit) If you follow goa trance, you know who Emmanuel Carpus is. E-Mantra has been king of the goa trance mountain for a long time. Rumor has it that he is ready to abdicate the throne and move on to other projects. Sad as that may be he has left quite the legacy behind him. From goa trance to downtempo music his sound is unmistakable. Originally released in 2008, he has splashed a new coat of paint on these beauties. The promo actually says, "crafted in a new vision." Don't know if that means new melodies or mastering, but what I can tell you is that the result is distinctly him. The music is floating stairs of melody as they gently carry you to a blissful place. Long and drawn out which submerges the listener into a deeper state of trance. The tracks are the same with the exception of the final one, Liquid Frequencies. Well worth putting into your E-mantra collection. Melusine Bandcamp

Artist: Sky Technology Title: Free Spirit EP Label: Goa Records Date: May, 2016 1. Be Like Water 2. Free Spirit 3. If You Are Not A Human "Be water my friend. Be water." Dmitriy Kolosovskiy is known for his chaotic goa style, but here he delivers something slightly different. Free Spirit is a digital EP that focuses on going deeper into oneself perhaps. The pace is slower with a mystical twist on downtempo goa trance. The title track may have well been recorded inside of a Nepalese temple on top of the Himalayas. It's very spiritual with exotic instruments and intriguing percussion. The other two are smooth downtempo goa in the mold of an E-mantra. Relaxing and melodic. Pretty good ep!

"Time is a great teacher...that eventually kills all its students." So...is Kris...Lazarus? Metaphorically speaking? I think Lazarus rose after four days, but let's call that artist interpretation. Like Antic I love all the people that have chimed in on this. Great to read. Let me be the 72nd guy who will tell you that this is not like old UX. Maybe it's better. You would expect someone's sound to mature after a decade or so and his has. This has more in common with Eon Project than UX. It's very science fiction oriented with lush and grandoise atmosphere. Cyberntica meets Frontline Assembly. It combines strong rhythms with soaring vocal tacets. There is so much to like about this from it's thumping power (blunt force trauma at times) to it's immense creativity. Full-on beats, but like Oforia's Read More well done full-on. Length could be an issue, but each time I listen to it I care less and less about that infraction. All the tracks are stories and they are well told and use the length to allow that tale to unfold properly. With this album I got the same feeling as when I heard Auryn by BlackStarrFinale. It's different yet still incredibly engaging. Dark yet danceable. The Faithealers remix at the end is an exclamation point that had it all. Like everyone else I'm glad he didn't lay a full-on egg with his return, far from it. If it must be saddled with that label then think of this as the superhero of full-on. Maybe a team that just saved the world and now it's time to party. Welcome back to the scene Kris. Can't wait to hear more. And by the way...best artwork I've seen in a while. Neogoa Bandcamp

Artist: Oforia Title: Read More (2 CD Limited Edition) Label: Zion604 Records Date: August, 2016 1. Incognito 2. Vivid Dream 3. Corona 4. The Blue 5. Locos 6. Oasis 7. Re-Transmission 8. Mad DMA 9. Pink Floyd - Welcome To The Machine (Covered By Oforia) 10. Unnatural Oforia - White Holes 11. Solaris - Extra Mundane 12. Oforia - Dimensional Exploration 13. Indoor - Vertigo (2016 Edit) 14. Oforia - Special Offer 15. Phreaky - Over The Moon (2015 Edit) 16. Indoor - Nothing Like A Good Friend 17. Tandu - New Aura Hmm....I've been meaning to read more. And now it seems that Zion604 has made that book appear more interesting. Musically speaking that is. Ofer Dikovsky is one of the pillars of the goa and psytrance community appearing as Oforia and Pigs in Space, but also in groups like Indoor, Tandu, and Phreaky. But honestly I haven't really paid much attention to him since those releases. I remember hearing Arcadia and thinking, "Well, there goes another veteran into the abyss of full-on. Say hi to MFG while you're there!" This album has been getting a lot of hype (great review by Manuser) so when Zion604 offered a limited edition 2 disc set that included not only the album, but also previous tracks from the happy days? I think my Paypal account ordered it for me. This is an artist that not only brings goa elements into his psytrance, but makes goa tracks. Vivid Dream is deliciously long and complex with percolating 303 pops and a large melodic backdrop with an innumerable amount of changes. Oasis takes the best of both worlds with a sinister goa vibe fronting a pumping beat. He uses these tricks throughout the album and even if you're not a fan of full-on, this is some pretty well done stuff. All the tracks are long and perhaps that's where some of the shine might come off of the diamond particularly if you treat full-on like our favorite cheeto faced, ferret wearing sh*tgibbon. "GRRRRRR!!!!! I Love Mexicans! And the gays!" While the original album is very good, the selling point for me was the second disc that contained old tunes/remixes from him and his projects with fresh mastering. I'm not one for Pink Floyd so that track didn't raise any eyebrows, but White Holes from one-off project Unnatural Oforia hit the goa sweet spot. Extra Mundane was a track that was made on the back side of goa, but still holds firmly onto some dark psychedelia. Dimensional Exploration (only found on the compilation Goa - Tel-Aviv) isn't his strongest effort it's worth a listen. When I saw the classic Vertigo was remade my shoulders were already set to cringe position, but the newer version had more punch while leaving most of the track alone. Gotta be considered a win right? Special Offer is just generic psytrance with nothing really special to offer. Worst track on both discs according to me. Just like with Vertigo, Over the Moon maintains it's psychedelia with a greater bottom end. Nothing Like A Good Friend is a decent track, but is deeply ensconced in the shadows of the much better ones. The final track is one of the most fluid and sinister mid tempo smashes ever. Everything just feels right. So with the 2 disc version you get some detailed full-on mixed with goa as well as some great tracks that Ofer had a hand in. I don't think it's essential as most of you reading this probably already have those extra tracks, but it's a nice tribute to one of the greats of the genre. Pre Order at Zion604 Bandcamp

Dreamy. This has aged really well.

This was very mellow and soothing. Enjoyable.

I wish Nano would get back to this style instead of the empty copy paste stuff they're releasing now.

Ha ha! I accidentally hit the return button before I finished it! Maybe I shoulda left it the way it was.

Artist: Various Title: Stompers Agony Label: Acidance Records Date: January, 2007 1. Menog Vs. Audialize - Mental Reproduction 2. Random - Bifurcation 3. Khopat - Come Closer 4. Tryambaka - Stroke of Luck 5. Toxic - Mofos In Da House 6. Sick Addiction - Today's Madness 7. Delsyd - Stompers Agony 8. Wicked Wires Vs. Brain Hunters - Mr. Mars 9. Brain Hunters - Genetic Poison 10. Meta - Boing! "Instincts play a very important part here so trust them." You didn't trust your instincts. Needed more Nadia Comaneci and less Kool-Aid Man. So when I think of melodic night time psytrance I think of labels like Timecode and Nexus Media when they were at their zenith. This collection of tunes is a level below that. There is plenty of acid, but there are also plenty of samples. It's better than full-on, but there are too many breaks in the action for any momentum to accrue. Mental Reproduction is the biggest stormer for me, but I also liked the groove in the 10 and a half minute Today's Madness. But there wasn't enough great stuff in that 10 and a half minutes. I mean, you had 10 and a half minutes...you couldn't make more than one f*cking basket in 10 and a half minutes? If you're on the hunt for really good dark melodic music I feel you might be let down by this one. A few good tracks, but there are a lot better albums out there. Psyshop Beatspace

Artist: Various Title: The Next Generation (Compiled by DNA) Label: Phonokol Date: 2006 1. Psysex & Rocky - Japanese Awa (DNA Remix) 2. X-Noize - Rock It (Psy Craft Remix) 3. Melicia - Running Out Of Time (DNA Remix) 4. Domestic & X-Noize - Flaming Dart 5. Wizzy Noise - Behemoth (DNA Remix) 6. Quantum - Need For Lead (DNA Remix) 7. DNA & Melica - Magic Stick 8. Space Cat - Kreak Take 2 9. Injection - Massive Attack "Boys, what the f*ck is wrong with you?" I apologize if their grandmother is reading this, but DNA (Eitan Tanami and Zeev Kardonsky) are pretty much patient zero when it comes to the pandemic known as full-on. An insidious infection, it has spawned many copycats and taken the psychedelic out of psychedelic trance. They are far from the only perpetrators, but they must take responsibility for their role. Looking at their Discogs account it seems they have released the same album 5 times. True this isn't their artist album (even though they are involved in over half the tracks), but they compiled it thereby dragging all the artists represented into the swamp with them. It's unabashedly full-on full of rolling bass lines, hyper sample use, and glow stick melodies. Running Out of Time by Melicia is a blistering track and the only way DNA could screw it up is if they changed the synth sounds to dog barks. Low point has to go to the deplorable remix of Rock It which reinforces why people make fun of psytrance. Music we have heard a million times that really should have the psychedelic label removed post haste. The stops and starts, the guitar...Oh, the agony. Full-on can be done well and can be descriptive and detailed, but a bar set this low...well, that takes some doing. Not the worst I've heard, but man...just throw it on the ever increasing pile of low-mediocre releases. "Full-on as home entertainment, this cannot be the future. Can it?" May God have mercy on our souls, Kurt. Beatspace

Artist: Various Title: Psychedelic Electronica (Psychic Deli Volume II) Label: Psychic Deli Date: 1998 1. Messiah - Ghost 2. Resonance - New World 3. Lumen - Out of Memory Too 4. Ectomorph - Trilobite 5. ECT - Catapult 6. Battle of the Future Buddhas / Fripic Bounce - A Handful of Tricks 7. Aether - Sentient 8. Nevasystem & Aether - Kinetik Space Dilation 9. Lunar Asylum - Twister 10. Bonky - 10 Percent "These are the seeds which will sow the destruction of the human race." Believe me. Sometimes I like to tackle a fairly unknown compilation. If it turns out to be good it's like hooking up with a friend that you never thought of in that way. If it's bad nobody has to say nothing and life goes on. This album has a doppleganger. Psychic Deli seems to have made an album in 1999 with the same name, but different tracklist. Weird. So what you get is a mixture of psy and goa from a bunch of the lesser known artists of the goa age. All of the tracks are psychedelic with strange noises and the goa avoids the melodic tour de force which defined the golden age. Trilobite has loads of juicy sounds and I loved the break in Kinetik Space Dilation. The Buddhas don't disappoint with their brand of swampy psychedelic goa trance and Ghost is quite the journey. I wouldn't say any of these tracks are spectacular, but the compilation is a safe bet when you want lesser known psychedelic goa trance.

Artist: Various Title: The First Pulse Label: Pulsewave Records Date: 1996 1. Dormant - Auspex (Intro) 2. ARTificial - Origin of Species 3. Asiodiziac - Skinn 4. Mnemosyne - Six Feet Over 5. File Operation Error - Manhunt 6. Clockforest - Systems On 7. Subconscious Aurists - Astral Interference 8. The Signus - Robot Zone 9. Juicehead - Anything Is Everything 10. Clockforest - Sun Mark 11. File Operation Error - The End 12. ARTificial - Lunimous Lullabye (Outro) Keep your distance ladies. I know what you're thinking. "Jesus tap dancing Christ this guy will review a f*cking ham sandwich." And to that I would say if I had the time. But back on task... With the exception of Mississippi and Alabama everyone knows that this is a dated look. The only thing missing is a member's only jacket and a pair or acid washed jeans. And that's what this compilation is like. I don't know where I got it, but I think it was a throw in when I bought some stuff off Discogs. Two decades old and man it sounds like it. Think of a smorgasbord of electronic music that will bring you back to the early days. I put it here because it has some goa sounding tracks in it. Origin of Species comes to mind and it wouldn't have been bad, but those crash cymbals! A lot of the tracks just sound like dated 90's techno and electro. Complete with rave sounds and orchestra hits. Throw in a little dream trance and gabber and it's really the total package of no thank you. Perhaps this will make you feel nostalgic. Not me though. Just made me want to delete it.

Israel, best known for being the Holy Land and also having one of the deadliest armies in the world. "Shoot it!!!...it's a steel belted radial!" The second volume in this series from Israeli HOM-Mega provides IMO three tracks that are must hears. Martian Civilization is really good even by today's standards, and Double Doper is a powerhouse full of dynamite. Process Irreversible (Passenger Mix) by MFG is a chunky full throated goa track with 303's run amok. I liked the IM track just not as much. The rest I could take or leave.

How can so much black act so white? Is that a f*cking gas mask he's wearing? You realize by "dancing" under a bridge you're reinforcing every fairy tale definition of trolls, right? These kids need to stop cutting and start getting some hugs from mommy and daddy. Sigh. Black. Other than Black Forest Cake the color black seems to be associated with negative things. Mmmmm....cake. Don't wanna get caught in a black hole. Don't want to be beaten black and blue. In the Catholic church I was taught that sins were represented by a black mark on your soul and God was keeping score. And you definitely don't want to be stopped by a cop in the US if you're black. Broken tail light? You might catch a few slugs for dat. But the color black is still one of the most popular colors out there. It's the absence of light and as Hollywood has taught us we need to fear the dark. Thing is we love the darkness and we love being scared so it's understandable why we gravitate towards the blackness. So Flying Rhino brought us the dark side of goa trance and I for one love it. Even the track titles evoke dark themes. The whole album maintains a dark atmosphere with eerie sounds sometimes demonic sounds. It's a musical nightmare that will make you uncomfortable at some point with screeching leads and hallucinatory synth riffs. Psychedelic as hell and I agree the first time you hear it you might not like it. I think this is also the only place you can find the BPC/Slinky Wizard collaboration as Planet Slink.

Goa Trance starter kit. It has some of the classics from a few of the greatest names in the genre. It's the same as Dragonfly Classix so beware on that front. Most people reading this forum probably already 1) know about this album and 2) have these tracks. But it is a super primer into what made this music so great. I also like that it isn't mixed so you get the full tracks. Classics like LSD, Double Dragons, Teleport, and Optimum Creakage jump right out front and are always great, but let's be honest we've pretty much beaten them to death. Personally I love the less heralded stuff like Space Midi from supergroup Omputer (Ofer, Raja, and T. Suzuki) and the screamingly intense Tornado by Phreaky (another supergroup). Utopia by Mandala is a smoldering shot of sunshine with ripping leads of its own. There are a few duds in there, but the compilation itself is well worth your while.

15 years. That's an awkward teenager with no rhythm getting her learner's permit. Perhaps a dog enjoying his golden years. A compilation that old that has tracks that still sound great is one you should own. Don't go hooking up the bong, cause I ain't the one to blow smoke up your ass and tell you that this is a classic. It's not. But there are some gems found here. It's dark and raw psytrance from a time when goa was in the rear view. Big Balls from Semsis has just that and Darkling Baby from Noise (aka Wizzy) is straight forward pounding psytrance. Om Shiva from legendary Tim Schuldt is a gothic stomper as well. April Fool's from Cydonia is like a soundtrack to the torture movie Saw, dark and full of despair and angst. Not their best work, but there just is no reasoning with a psychotic like that. And lest you think there isn't any goa to be found MWNN brings Retox to make sure you didn't forget. I really liked Dark Horse as well for its psychedelic intensity. The rest of the tracks delve into a darker tech-trance direction that weren't great, but weren't terrible. Take 'em or leave 'em. It's a worthwhile addition to you collection if you don't have it and you can get it on Discogs for almost less than whatever the f*ck Starbucks sells.

Artist: Various Title: Alien Paradise Label: Fungi Records Date: 2005 1. Boogieman - Haunted 2. Natinel - Irritaded 3. Concept - Sequence Activate 4. Suria - Super Dooper (Menog Rmx) 5. Ananda Shake - Purple Heaven 6. Killer Buds Vs. Cosmonet - Consequence 7. Ananda Shake - First Rain Rmx 8. Cosmonet - Dreamland 9. Odyssey - Madrugada "Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers?" The final release of this label and I feel like I hardly knew ye. That's cause I didn't. Not really, but there are some pretty good tracks to be found here. The first two tracks tend towards the darker side of things and are pretty good rumblers. Sequence Activate is the true stormer here with power and liquid synths oozing all over the place. Menog's Remix of Super Dooper isn't bad and Consequence by Killer Buds is good for some acidic madness. All in all not bad for something that is over a decade old.

"When you dream there are no rules People can fly, anything can happen Sometimes there is a moment As you're awaking but you're still dreaming You may think you can fly but you better not try" Perhaps one of the greatest and most used samples in our music, no? Still love it. I sh*t on the music by Alien Project pretty frequently, but his remix appeals to me. Full of power even if it lacks the spirituality of the original. There are parts in some tracks which are worth hearing (like the break beat drums in Abunai) and it's nice to go back and hear some of the music that first introduced me to psytrance. Hollow by Panick is really a great track with some apparent techno influences and C.F.U. by Alien Project was warm in an almost minimal way. That said, it's still a collection of 2002 full-on. Which ironically (and shamefully) was miles more psychedelic than a lot of the full-on that came later.
