  3. About Solar Fields - EarthShine ^Progressive Psy-Trance Aka. Psygressive np. Various Artists - Unconventional (Horns & Hoofs)
  4. It’s been about a year since we last saw a release from the Norwegian ChillOut label Chill Tribe Records led by ChillOut DJ /reviewer (www.trance.net)/music collector PKS (Per Kristian Slagsvold). Finally, he’s out with his second release in the famous compilation series Relaxed – Last time we heard from CTR we got a more northern inspired chill-out compilation with many big names. This time the names are just as impressive but also warmer in style. Let’s take a dive into the sea of relaxed Journeys.. V/A – Relaxed Journeys (Chill Tribe records) 2006 (CTRCD02) 01 (8:28) Altitudes - Altitude II 02 (8:43) Nada - Earthgarden (Jong Remix) 03 (9:09) Adham Shaikh - Indu 04 (7:34) Digitalis - Noodles 05 (9:09) Jong - Unexplored Depths 06 (7:51) Makyo - Nothing Is Real (Sensual Mix) 07 (8:01) Solar Quest - Tokers Dream (Remix) 08 (8:22) EldarLife - Gone Gong 09 (4:00) Circular - Ambulo 10 (8:34) Saafi Brothers - Multiverse 1. Altitude – Altitude II (Co-up between the dream team Jaïa, Blue Planet Corporation and newly joined Silicon Sound) :: PKS leads us into a track filled with rumbling skittering noises followed by a surrounding atmosphere that will cover your Chakra with warmth and bliss. You are leaded by an exiting sample about destiny while a beautiful synth captures your attention and the beat slowly but lovely kicks in. Here we get the long awaited second Altitude track simply named Altitude II. It’s beautiful, harmonic and peaceful like floating in space while watching your face disappear. Altitude is still trippy and floating like their first release (Featured on CTR debut release Quality Relaxations), and you will get a pleasant guitar sample at the ending of this spacey chilled track. It’s a beautiful introduction to an album that promotes Relaxed Journeys. 2. Nada – Earthgarden (Jong Remix) :: is a track by the sweet melody producer Nada, remixed by the newfound talent Jong which will be presented later on this V/A. Once again dear Team Nada manages to put a smile on your face, feeling your negative energy being swept away by beautiful tumbling effects and twists. You are brought inside a Garden of Eden where peace and joy roams. This downbeat track got what it takes to make you feel like a bag of sugar with ultra sweet synths, beautiful vocals, whispering samples and strange effects. Surly a beautiful track with the heart placed just in the right spot! 3. Adham Shaikh – Indu :: Now, if there is one producer in this world who got a direct connection to it, the holy world, the world of no rules and every rule simultaneously - It is this man, no questions asked. The legend himself presents us here with what can be called the most interesting track on Relaxed Journeys. Here we get all the eastern influences we need with deep hypnotizing vocals and leads. This is a great tribute to the all might Hare Shiva! As always Adham presents us with mind dripping inducing psychedelic chill with tribal Hindu influences. Great drum work that will for sure stop time, space and room on your next holy trip. Super! Beautiful! Smooth! Scary..! 4. Digitalis – Noodles :: After a very inducing track by Adham Shaikh it’s time to wake up a bit. Feel the summer breeze and enjoy the more bouncy sides of life. Digitalis presents to us a more up-beat track with many scrounge sounds and effects taking you inside wonderland of colors and amazement. Here Digitalis gives us a sea bucket of drum works, twisted effects and moaning samples that is sure to create a strange world around you. As the track evolves you will stop to notice an extra ordinary feeling of something…. What this feeling is and represents is up to the listener. Not my personal cup of tea this feeling, to café like maybe? But objectively seen; A beautiful track that will show you wonders and deep thoughts inside your very own head. Good luck! 5. Jong – Unexplored Depths :: As presented earlier with a remix of Nada’s track Earthgarden, Jong hits you now with his own piece of art. It starts floatingly with an introduction sound while the drums and effects will fly around and over you from side to side - Really hypnotizing and beautiful. Jong, a young but experienced talent from France shows us his talents in spiritualized ChillOut. Best part for many will be when the French, or can I call it the Air elements jumps in at 02:30 minutes. This is for me where the track gets really interesting and weird adding many elements that will enhance your trip pleasure. You will also find many Hindu elements and fluids. All that is needed to enjoy this track is a smile and a pinch of amazement in your actions. Let yourself be told a story by Jong! What a journey! What a story! 6. Makyo – Nothing Is Real (Sensual Mix) :: is next, a track of oceanic feelings. You can feel the cold breeze coming in from the shore while the heavy downbeats and jumping synths play. After a small travel through a relaxed universe you will encounter a female voice telling you beautiful words and feelings. She will grab you and take you down inside your mind leaving you with a sense of stability and understanding. The beat will carry you back up again while it shows you how fun a mouthful of breath can be. This is defiantly a sensual mix made to caress your soul. But for me it seems a tad boring, nothing to really grab my attention. Not entirely my style of heart, but oh so beautiful it sounds while floating around me. 7. Solar Quest – Tokers Dream (Remix) :: Ah, the legend, the untitled ruler of acid techno of the 90’s! After a couple of more up-beat chill tracks by Jong and Makyo, Solar Quest brings us in to a world of sitars, trippy elements and beautiful vocals. Just the way we like and adore his creations! Here we are taken inside the world of peace, love and unity. Solar Quest brings us a truthful track of much wisdom and prophecy. If you adore sitars, come closer, close your eyes and fly inside his visions. If not, then push next –but hey, give it a flying chance. Either way it’s a respected artist with a respected track. On a side note, it must be one special experience to see a piece of art like this being performed live. Awesome track! Maybe a bit too much sitars for some, but hey, this is Indian spiritualism in its finest coat! 8. EldarLife – Gone Gong :: Away from the far east of Solar Quest, we find ourselves standing inside a Nordic vision, a track with hard falling spikes, strange atmospheres and deep and rough baselines. Here we are presented with a track from EldarLife who also has a saying in the great Norwegian Progressive Psy-Trance duo PhasePhour which also presented us with a nice downbeat track in the first series of Relaxed compiled by PKS. This time he went solo. I’m not entirely sure what mister Essen is trying to achieve or show us with this track. It’s a strange one, I’ll tell you that. It has many elements of instability and falling sounds. All I know is that I want very much to stand inside his creating moping at all that is passing me by. Good track – Unclear in message. 9. Circular – Ambulo :: Is an oldie when it comes to the ambient scene of the 90’s. If you’re fanatic about Biosphere (both Norwegians) you should be able to recognize this name. Circular gives us a heavy track, a strange and fluid place he is presenting us. Swishing sounds twirl by while echoes and sharp sounds make my body hair stand up. Circular presents a track that can be considered more of a creation and a thing then a music piece, well, its art. Circular displays you a special place with joy and play. Smiles and wonders. Peace and relaxations. Nothing is real, and real is nothing. What a strange trip .. For me this is a pause track since its only 4 minutes in length. None the less it’s a great track to raise your curiosity. 10. Saafi Brothers – Multiverse :: Last, but Oh not least we get a track by the well known Saafi Brothers. These brothers from other mothers present a mysteries piece with a floating but playful atmosphere. Stars glitter and space evolves as it takes it time to build and lead you on, it reveals a deep trembling base that will make the ground waggle like the sea itself. Here we get waves splashed up in your surroundings. Colorful, playful and hiding - What lurks in the deep sea is to be explored by you, the listener. This is a beautiful standstill track that ends another nice Relaxed Journey by ChillOut DJ, PKS. Sweet explorations of the mind! Overall I would have to say that I’m just as, or a tad more impressed by PKS’s compiling skills on his second compilation release on Chill Tribe Records. As one can easily hear this release contains a much more summer vibration of life and wisdom - A new era of human civilization. Where the first release Quality Relaxations was more cold and western (in a good way), this album is much warmer and eastern influenced all over. A BIG FAT bonus to PKS, because he needs to get BIG reconditions for what is the AWSOME booklet featured inside your new bought Relaxed Journeys. A big pile of respect to PKS and his small budget to include such a well informed booklet with pictures and goodies. If you enjoy life, and you enjoy psychedelic ChillOut music at its finest! Then do not hesitate, get yourself a copy, sit down, light up and enjoy! I would trust my trip in PKS’s hands any time, that’s for sure! Recommended!

  5. Moonlight Prono The first line of the text.. with Moonlight Boy who -- I think, but I got to listen to the original track. The youtube is crap. Yes, you cought me big boy, Im a homo-sapien
  6. dont worry, its just Diaks homosexual defused brain that thinks like that. The track still ROX! But not the versions Ive heard on youtube, they sux. The only version Ive heard that is perfect is the album one.
  7. Can anyone tell me what track is being played on this video from 02:30 and 04:20? Its crap but mywarrior brother wants to know. http://www.klikk.no/produkthjemmesider/vim...ticle362950.ece thanks
  8. When I buy toilet paper I often buy the less expensive poor quality ones. It’s healthier for my wallet and on the pack it reads 'Made of Recycled Paper'. As long as it wipes my ass clean without a rash I'm satisfied. What I'm saying is that for you (the label) and for me (the consumer) it shouldn't be so much more expensive. Who is the one to ,,blame" at the end of the line? For sure not Suntrip.
  9. This sucks so much ..
  10. Its very PCD PsyCheDelic *Awsesome reaview! Its about time someone brought this one out to light.
  11. Herz An Whatn'natt ?
  12. Overall yes, its pretty groovy and exiting. Got so many elements that Ive been missing in my pie trance. Still havent learned all thetracks yet, but that track is easily my emotional favourite. And the Aqua Boga Djerba track (np.) is kool. Some of the tracks misses something to make it 100% complete, but compared to a lot of music out there, it's flawless Overdream is one dOOd and one LaDy. Its nice to have both sexes to create something like this.
  13. Easy, you can post it to me as a friendly gift I only got a DL'ed version And it's psytrance. np. Overdream - Sacrosant Toucan :clapping:
  14. *blitz* *blitz* NO COMMENT *blitz* *blitz* A part of the deal is to get attention over to the main Isratrance.com page. Fair enough if you ask me. One weeks wait, and I push it out on this forum and Psymusic.co.uk (I include a link to the original review). Abasio is also in on the same deal
  15. Solar Fields - EarthShine.. I think this is one of the most beautiful albums Ive ever hard
  16. Hi, was just reading a review of the 'Daheen - Green Chillies' album by Timetwister; .. and I was pleasantly surprised about a line where he writes; Quote: The album comes in the form of an ecological friendly package What does it mean exactly, and which other artists and labels do you know of that uses environmental friendly products in their releases? When receiving a album in cardboard material it would be nice to know it came from recycled paper. It would be nice to know that the plastic used in the jewel case is made from recycled plastic and the booklet and so on. What are the distributors, labels and artists doing to make more eco friendly releases except Digital Downloads? I don’t care how boring this subject is or how senseless some will find it to be. In my opinion it is morally important. And I know the downside about this in the capitalistic profit marked for us consumers is the heightening of prices. Want ecological food, you better pay more you stinking hippie. THIS IS WRONG!! The profit game is forcing us to pay more and it isn’t right. Question: Why does anyone bother with releasing physical media anymore? There is defiantly something about having the physical format in your hands/shelf that digital downloads can never replace. And I don't think people who buy the physical format will throw it away that quickly. To produce CD's does damage our environment I guess, but they will not create after litter/garbage which is thrown on garbage dumps to rot or to be burned. In most cases, we’re talking collector items. Regen Records :: I think it's great to see labels like Regen Records, a branch of environmental festival organization R.E.G.E.N. who releases environmentally concerned physical CD releases that are produced completely Carbon Neutral. I think more labels should make this a P.L.U.R. approach trendy, more labels should jump on the wagon (SUNTRIP RECORDS?). I think it would be very suitable and appropriate if a scene like ours that are supposed to be earth loving would do more effort to complete the whole P.L.U.R. package we so often proclaim.. http://www.isratrance.com/cd-reviews/treec...d976.html"</a&gt'>TreeCreation Review By Abasio Quote: On 2009-02-27 16:35, Basilisk wrote: The packaging uses recycled material and vegetable-based dyes in the cardboard shell and the tray itself is some kind of foamy potato starch material. Of course, the CD itself is a regular CD--there's no avoiding the impact of the disc itself--but Regen plants trees for every CD sold, which is a very nice gesture. Can someone list up all releases that was printed in a Eco-Friendly fashion? Surly this has to be a older concept then Regen Records?

  20. V/A – YggdraSounds II (Yggdrasil Records) 2009 (YGGCD003) 1. Konkylie - Bikini Lagune (8:34) 2. Loke - Expand Horizon (8:16) 3. Helan & Halvan - Gnomen (9:57) 4. Krussedull - Whiskeyjack (9:22) 5. Hutti Heita - Indianer (7:49) 6. Purosurpo - More To It (Version 2) (8:27) 7. Troglodytes - No Isolated Archetypes (8:09) 8. Freeform Syndicate - Roar Like Thunder (8:31) 9. Kanka - Supreme Beings (9:39) Bouldering thundering roars can be heard deep inside the forest, bears lift their head in questioning awe, dears run for shelter, the squirrels gather their flock to party down and the Moose, King of the forest, shakes his head, smiles and asks; what’s up with these crazy Norwegians? YggdraSound II is undoubtedly a strong, thick and bold release with nice clear sounds running all over deep inside its forest bubble. The tempo and grooves are stable, the feelings are in constant wonder and it aims to comfort you, relax you and create an amusing show of bleeps, piips and meeps. What is most impressive and standardizing about this release is its sound of haunting atmospheres, creeping and squeaking effects and a sense of being inside a world manipulated by party trolls. Because of the strong groovy baselines in most tracks you feel like you’re riding a Safari truck from the other dimension, riding along an adventures mystical forest trail of dark trees, unsettling fog and some colorful frogs and insects. Most of the album is a gathering of tracks made by Yggdrasils core members Alf, Kim and Frode. These guys have scattered them self out in varies projects where they collaborate with each other or stand alone in their solo projects. They all sound pretty much the same which is the foundation of why this compilation gets a review like it was a album instead of a V/A release of multiple artists and impressions. YggdraSounds is a focus on making one unique sound that will represent them with deep rolling baselines in a superb sound quality with thick/soft grooves and a production that is extremely pleasant on the ear – It deserves a massive sound system to be recognized for its audio genius. I think you either love this music, or you think it’s nice with some value as it has a certain cool factor about it. It doesn’t excite my pants much but shows a lot of impressive promise in sound and production. At times they seem out of ideas of what to do, how to thrill. Loke is for me the track with the strongest baseline grooves though it has a stupid melody being repeated to create that strange factor, while Krussedull, Purosurpo (One half of Derango) and Kanka is the ones giving the smartest tricks and hidden melodies. Konkylie is presented as the opener sound on both compilations and is the one act I expected the most from since their track on the first YggdraSounds was impressive. It represents a killer opening and a good sound, but as it nears its end it gets extremely boring and it would help a lot to have the sample removed as it is hyper annoying, ‘for the last time’. The down tempo track in the middle by Hutti Heita pauses the repeating feel through the first half of the compilation but unfortunately it ends up sounding as a slow version of itself and becomes boring too fast – none the less a smart move to place a breaker in the middle of the compilation. After the break we get a couple of acts that heighten the tempo and provide us with some much needed fresh air with faster beats and snappier effects while they still deliver true YggdraSounds but in a more Swedible fashion where the atmosphere is thinner and more in your face. The compilation ends with Freeform Syndicate which is the combined project by Alter Egon and Loke, and Kanka takes us back to the introduction realms of chubby vibes, but delivers a trippier touch to finish off a mediocre but interesting release. On a positive note the artwork by (Are) Marmelade on both YggdraSounds releases has been nothing but pure beauty and the mastering is done by the honorable and repeating name within mastering, Tim Schuldt. Recommendation: I think a major problem for me personally on my taste is the vary trials of making strange moods and melodies. In my opinion they fail and sound strangely uncomfortable or boring and not pleasantly strange and exciting. If we take away the strange trials of making something sound strange, and we take away the at times random but nice sounds floating around we are stuck with a strong sound image that delivers in all its glory a humping and pumping compilation which is soft and relaxing like a huge sofa. It’s the way the sound walk, the grooves and wiggle that saves this shit from being flushed down along to a forgettable puddle of sounds. After multiple listens in different moods and on different sound systems I feel it’s wearing a strange cloak – maybe it has elements that I can’t see yet, maybe. But I strongly feel that this album is giving me all it can give and contains very few surprises. Yggdrasil Records is a fairly fresh Record Label still trying to make their ground and sound. I think that with some more work and imagination these guys will be able to deliver us some of the more impressive work heard, no doubt. The strong foundation has been laid down so it does sound good, but YggdraSounds has a potential to sound even better and more interesting. With these words I congratulate the YggdraCrew with their massive success seen round the globe and especially in India, because needless to say they are praised as being something fresh and innovating. This second release is a step up from the first release so we should expect something extraordinary from the third release in the YggdraSounds series. In short: If you’re after something new, fresh and strange maybe something you haven’t heard before, seemingly deep in emotion and impressive baselines that sounds cool and feels relaxing while being played, this may be a winner.
