this is very VERY minimal. my favourite: "Witch Bed?" which has an excellent groove. The rest is too minimalist for me... 5/10. Album really for minimalism lovers...really.

Yes it's experimental. No i wouldnt even try to compare it to a Shpongle album...no no no.

Indeed that is bad. same mark.

This is a bit....too much. i heard this album once and it was difficult to bear it till the end...its main flaw is that it's a bit of anything that makes it a big nonsense (portnawak). With more work it would have been excellent..."as it", it's too unmethodical/disjointed. I must add that some other albums there were reviewed with a better mark, while they were worse. 3.5/10

Asura - Code Eternity Artist: Asura Title: Code Eternity Label: Infinium Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 10'18" Like A Summer Day 02. 10'07" Trinity 03. 10'24" Simply Blue 04. 08'07" Phoenix 05. 09'26" Code Eternity 06. 04'27" Territories Part One 07. 09'12" XP Continuum Review: -THIS is Ambient- I have tons of Ambient at home, and honestly this is one of the best ones. The style is not pure chill (with waterfalls or butterfly flutterings , this is what you can hear during a party's warm-up, when there is slow rhythm, but its still not time to dance, but Listen. On the first Three tracks, you have slow rhythm, ambient background, simple instruments on the front, surrounding hypnotic acid loops. The 4th is total ambient in some parts...relax...and powerful & kicking in some parts. ok. The 5th track gives a lot of energy thru lots of hypnotic distorted layers above lots of other smooth layers & cool kick. Territories is pure ambient with voices & flows...mmmh XP Continuum is another cool track..it makes me think about a heart that beats in a dream. What we got here is a nice nice nice album. 9/10 for Ambient lovers.

S.A.M.E ! 9/10 overall. Watch the next releases of this little genius.

I didn't like this compil. ok most of the tracks are quite cool, that's all. But there is nothing really attractive in those 2 cds; The tracks are not according with each other very well; The mix is bad; You really don't feel anythin while listening to it; No soul, a psy-commercial thing. Only one good thing: XVKilist - Kante gives a good funny ending. 5/10.

that's not psytrance. there's a lot of work ok, and that 'sounds' like UX stuff, but this is only breakbeat. 3/10.

Well...this is good & bad. To my mind the tracks have no soul: they are quite goodn but they pass & you feel nothing. ANYWAY I really like tracks 7 & 8 (the Analog Dream & the Suntec). If you like melodic trance this should be ok for you. 5 or 6/10.

I DO agree. My baby is minimal but not as senseless as the rest of MOS stuf. Timing is MAAAD (bass & kicks dangerous for your sanity). 7.5/10 too.

I don't agree. This is cool, ok, but it doesn't deserve the maximum mark. no no no. I agree with the review but i'd only give 7/10. As a matter of fact if you liked the others flights, it's for you as it's better than latest flights. If you never managed to like the flights, don't buy.

...without forgetting Fluorostani Transcendance which is a "hard & fast speacial nervous dancefloor" track, and Accelerator & Internal Horizon which are classics (a bit too classic?). This compil used to be rather good, could have been better. But there are tracks for different tastes...that's why delli likes the tracks of the first half only and I like some tracks of the 2n half too. By the way I prefer AirBorn (AFR too) rather than this compil.

At the begining, I didnt like this compilation very much....but i've changed my mind now. Beware: this is only Israeli stuff. Remember the name: Full On! So imagine this compil is really conventional psychedelic music...and I think this is really good. tracks 1-2-3: great great great!, 4-5: always the same for those artists..., 6: excellent!, 7: nice try, 8: good, 9: too oldschool but okay. My favorites are 1-3-6. overall: 8/10. for psychedelia lovers.

No no nooo i don't agree at all !! This is no shpongle..this is much simpler breakbeat/electro. Remember this album has absolutely nothing to do with the first Deviant Electronics one!! Anyway i must admit that -for a breakbeat album- that's good. But that's NOT psychedelic. That's what BueRoom has been providing us with for more that one year. That's probably for those who don't like full on and that don't like minimalistic psytrance either !!!

Those tracks must be listened to in a party. They'd be just part of the deliria. Each time those tracks were played in a party, everyone would dance without trying to understand. Yes, at home this wonderful mass-effect isn't there, as Anoebis said. But do you think Ricktam & Bansi prefer seeing people dancing in their flat? eheheh nooo! Party is part of their mescalined-DNA. Anyway what we have here is a set of true killers. don't expect anything else than GMS GMS GMS & GMS style. So if you don"t like GMS, please stop reading. Every track was probably done out of hallucinations...Los amigos han probablemente traido unas pequeñas ideas. Everything is very fast with vibrating rabbit sounds on several layers, and those killer breaks & re-entries! My favs: 2,3,5,7,8,9. party mark: 9/10 & home mark:7/10

Very very good EP. The first time i heard it I was in a shop and some girl was dancing on it... Awesome.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E a MUST have !!!

Absolutely great EP...kicking, moving, twisting...an old bomb, but...a bomb anyway. 9/10

Yes: this is morning trance. After a moment it becomes really boring for your ears And your brain. Moreover, the album is all the same. It's too....morning for me. 4.5/10.

I agree with dieznyik: one track is ~rather bad, and the other is really good!! 6/10.

Due to its authors, Vacuum Tube looks like a X-Dream production on some tracks (eg 1, 4, 5), and a Planet Ben Prod on some other tracks. Basically the tracks are good. I really like Amplifier with its powerful sounds all along. And the whole album is full of energy; don't expect multiple overlays or twisting sounds all along. That's more underlying, more mental indeed. The BIG problem is that nearly all the tracks were released before. So there is no mystery, even at the first listening. That's a brilliant record, ok, but it seems to be more a collection than a brand new production. So, 6.5/10.

Total Eclipse / Resurex - BFLT 64 Artist: Total Eclipse / Resurex Title: BFLT 64 Label: Dragonfly Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 06'37" Total Eclipse : Bimone 02. 07'21" Resurex : Copine Review: The Bordeaux mad crew is back to the roots on Dragonfly, but the sound is far from being roots: The Total Eclipse track was written by Serge: no problem, you can recognize the Total Eclipse touch, but the sounds are more "in fashion", that is: more dark. Fortunately, the track itself is good, really not monotonous....this is what you can expect from TE ! The Resurek track was written by Stepane/TE And J.Sogabe. The track has also inherited more recent souns. It's kicking, there's a lot of energy in it, the sounds all around are just in the good place to give the listener a break...moreover I like the little sounds at the end. What else? Buy the black BFLT64 with the green sticker ! 8/10.

Very oldschool very psychedelic trance. The album is a bit all the same. Globally worth buying if you like fullon psy music. 7/10.

Jaïa - Blue Synergy Artist: Jaïa Title: Blue Synergy Label: Yellow Feather Date: 2000 Track listing: CD 1 (Blue Energy) 01. 06'46" Sommeil Paradoxal 02. 09'26" Anawa's Paradise 03. 07'25" Breathing Ocean 04. 08'13" Brainstorm 05. 09'44" Nasty Angel 06. 09'21" Maï Maï 07. 08'59" Spiritual Drops And Eternal Ices 08. 09'25" After The Rain CD 2 (Blue Synergy) 01. Sentences To Heaven 02. Sillenium 03. Time Machine 04. Kannibal 05. Factory Of Mind 06. Meditation Review: The first CD is the reedition of Jaïa's album released in mid-1998. To have an idea of it, just take a look at the Jaïa : Blue Energy review page. The second cd is a compil of tracks released -or not- at different ages, and on different labels. Sentences to Heaven....a typical Jaïa track, fast and cool at the same time, charming voices. There is also a powerful break! ok. Sillenium was written with Deedrah. This is a true killer with psychedelia everywhere...a total dancefloor tune. Once again, the break near the end is perfect and it's difficlt not to dance on that track. Time Machine also used to be a very good party track. It rolls quickly over a guy saying 'le temps....' all the time...then there are voices, a break, and it restarts to roll again and again! Everything is very well studied. Excellent track. Kannibal is new: it's fast and more minimalistic than the rest:mainly rhythmic. There is a good work on the drums. Near the end, there are a few waves And people shouting. The groove is OK, the track is OK. Factory of the Mind is also (nearly) unknown. It has a powerful bassline, the track runs fast, there are shy little sounds dealing with other drumworks And quick plastic sounds over that. sure the effect would be excellent on a dancefloor ! Meditation is a very emigmatic calm track, with voices. It's cool And still really good ...something to calm you down after 2 hours of powerful energies. If you've never had the Original Blue Energy, or if you don't know Jaïa, here is your chance to repair the offense!

Kiss The Future 2 - Procyon Artist: Kiss The Future 2 Title: Procyon Label: Atomic Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 08'27" Saiko-Pod : Pling Pong 02. 08'25" Psychaos : Creative Anomaly 03. 08'20" NTSX : Dreamshot 04. 06'37" The Antidote : Chewbacca 05. 08'39" Tortured Brain Vs Steriliser : The Dealer 06. 08'25" Morphem : Zwergensaft 07. 07'00" Man With No Name : Deep Trouble In Outer Space (Original 94 Mix) 08. 07'03" Nucleus : Hovercraft (System Mix) 09. 08'26" Etnica : Simulate The Future Review: First the Saiko-Pod is a cool pumping dancefloor track with 2 parts. The first one is mainly rhythmic, and the second one is more psychedelic with synthetic sounds going from one ear to another quickly ! The Psychaos track is for sure a Psychaos track: usual rhythm And sounds. A pretty repetitive tune but various enough not to be bored. The NTSX thing is like a hardtekno track: big beat, industrial-like sounds...ok track on a dancefloor i guess. Antidote (Total Eclipse) guys are definitely mad with this angry track: Techno influences again. everything is fat on this tune. Don't expect psychedelic waves, the deal is mainly a beat-summonning-dancing-zombies track !! Dino Psaras And sterilizer piece of music starts with the usual running rhythm of tortured brain tracks...a guy talking in the background tells us the story and after 3 minutes, the madness begins: the track makes me think of someone running away, stopping, running again, getting out of breath. The drums are used with expertise and there are big breaks with wizzy sythetic sounds and a rain of kicks! Morphem track is very fast...pumping. Some patterns are filled with a cool recurrent theme. the end is more melodic and the whole result is very good! This MWNN track as released by Oforia 2+ years ago...Typical MWNN music, very psychedelic, good groove, good rise...but i dont like the break:too fluffy. The track is good anyway but i prefer Pigs in Space remix. Nucleus provide us with a monotonic track...waves of smooth sounds over a rhythm..nothing else. Eventually the Etnica track is very good! It vas written a long time ago and it's a pleasure to see it on a compil. So it has a truly groovy kick/bassline, the psychedelic sounds come after 2 minutes, increase after 5 minutes, more psychedelic sounds come after 6 minnutes the track is like a cool story. The rhythm is really perfect. Overall we have once again a very good compil from Atomic. The best tracks are 1,3,4,5,6,9 to my mind. New sounds...very interesting...8/10.
