  1. It's dub, it's electro, it's downtempo, it's ambient techno...just a good listen. The music goes off in so many different directions. You can most assuredly hear how their sound has matured and I would think this would be a great CD to listen to while at the beach. However, all taste is subjective.

    It is multi directional, shows lots of talent and a huge potential for future releases.

    Great CD to travel with or without body.

  2. This is a real good release from Entheogenic, I missed their last one and wasnt too much impressed by the reviews, but this one was all over the internet. so I went for it, and I am glad that I did.

     

     

    Excellent material all the way through, some tracks good, some outstanding, if you are like me and like some psy and some allrounders then dont miss this one!

     

     

    9/10

  3. Thats what I call a great review

     

     

    --------------------------

     

    How make an easy psy-trance or chill review?

    Choose a cd & prefer an album, for example the new Enthéogenic 'Golden Cap'.

    Insert the cd in your player, sit down & listen, you can do something else while listening if you want.

     

    Now let's check if the release fits with the 3 next points:

    -It's possible to experience a non-stop complete listen of the cd without any stop or skipping passage.

    -When the cd is finished, your time perception is alterated : your major desire is to launch again the cd as you think it's just imposible you've just spent around 70 minutes so quickly.

    -More you listen to the tunes & more you find out elements that were hidden to your initial awareness's state.

     

    Verdict, Enthéogenic - Golden Cap matches with the 3 previous statements.

    What else could be added about this album?

    Some general remarks & one anecdote.

     

    Let's begin with the anecdote, unfortunately only french or people who can receive french tv channnels & could verify this. Midnight Eyes could appear to your ears as familiar sounding, why? Because the core of the track comes from a jingle from a midday game 'La Cible' on France2, which i suspect to be produced by our dear loved Helmut & Piers. Actually it's the same short melodic layer developped, agremented , embellished by a whole structure that leads it to become a full tune.

     

    For the musical content, a main idea focuses my attention about Golden Cap.

    Entheogenic has decided to operate a risky musical turning in their chill-out productions, they wander off the Psychill like the early Shpongle for driving us toward more electic & original soundscapes but still melodic & making you feel out of your home.

     

    Let's mention that Golden Cap has the most indian sounding. Zero Plus propulses you through a weightlessness's control perdition way in a cosmic configuration. Kashmir Day Trip coulb be, contrarily to what suggests the title, a fresh floating trip through the oriental night ponctuated with muffled percussions. The Solution Machine covers more the hypnotic ambient area. Absphinx takes his bass from the Jazz & borrows his rythmic to the Broken Beat the whole thing dredged with an indian flute melody. Secret Tongues is crossing Drum n' Bass & Funkadelik. Ju closes the album on a climatic downtempo vibe while Sideways is more Dubby & Midnight Eyes appears to be the closest to the former Enthéogenic's sound.

     

    If Enthéogenic productions have today very few in common with their first compositions nevertheless i don't hesitate a single moment for claiming that this album is as essential as the previous ones & even surely more.
