    Entheogenic - Flight of the Urubus

    Good review Jon Cocco. Always appreciate the effort somebody makes to write a deep review.

    Funny though how taste is different and I guess this is a good thing. Skullcap would be my "favourite" on this album, didnt make it into yours though.So I guess there is something for everybody on this album.

    It seems like this is a wonderful album based on what I've read. But I don't blindly buy products like most people. Why is this album not on saikosounds and/or psyshop like the others? Can someone post samples? Are their any available? I think that would be a great help for many people who are on the fence about purchasing this from... their site alone?

     

    maybe you write to psyshop and ask, on discogs it says limited edition, what if they only sell those?

    Entheogenic - Golden Cap (CD)

    The first album is probably their best.

    Their second album is their second best. (some say it IS their best)

    I bought their third in 2005. It's mainly a bunch of remixes, some good ones, some okay.

    About the fourth...I most like tracks 3, 4, 6.

     

    In conclusion: It would be very cool if Entheogenic focused on great and superb new songs...masterpieces!...their best new songs ever back-to-back.

    Entheogenic - Golden Cap (CD)

    in 2006

    Posted

    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.

    And a blast release it is!

    Personally I would have liked more new Entheogenic tracks, but the remixes are real good, some outstanding. The cover and booklet is very nice.
