  1. I think they should try something new. Perhaps it can't be done after all these years?

     

    The new album will likely have the fullon baseline which is sad.

     

    Their old releases had such great melodic energy. Often imitated, rarely, if ever, duplicated.

     

    They have such great talent and experience. I would love to see them make a chill out album or a melodic progressive album... or whatever.

  2. Just randomly checked the Saikosounds homepage. Scanning scanning... oh look some more full-on, oh I see pongle finally released another one, oh look some weird obscure flash in the pan label released some poo, more full-on... wait! What's that? Jaia? ... JAIA!!! :-) :-)

     

    Listening to samples right now. Guess it's time for another order.

     

    Very cool. I'm really into this kind of sound these days. So much more refreshing and mature sounding.

     

    Kinda a bit like the latest Antix.

     

    Anyway. Sounds super.

  3. Tandu - New Aura <---- great oldschool track, perhaps my fav. with a starwars sample.

     

    You would think there would be bunch of cool starwars samples in really awesome songs, but I just don't think there are that many (well few really well know ones). Perhaps it's too obvious. Back in the day, there were many Dune samples, and more recently, there were so many Matrix samples.

     

    Start this thread: tell me all the tracks with Matrix samples. Would go on forever :D

  4. I prefer old sound because it had two persons functioning on perfect levels, making amazing blend between tweaked british humour and uplifting dutch acid lines that were making perfect state of trance.

    COSMOLOGY and various singles released in 97 are still my proper state of trance where after Jeremy left I miss those acid uplifting lines but I don't mind the change yet.

    SYNERGY was great album with better production than Cosmology but weaker in melodic way. Moonshine and Higher Access are the only two songs on album that have old style melodic madness and the rest was very freestyle psychedelic trance.

    INTERGALACTIC was pretty smooth experiment between funky, groovy beats mixed with psychedelic tones focusly arranged. I loved that album but it was still much more chill for such passionate artist he used to be.

    CONTACT went into more chilly realms but I mind some immature samples and almost no melodic strucutres except in Inner Space. The guy obviously stopped using acid completely and stayed only on weed cause that's how this albums sound : conceptual, funny, immature and dubby, perfect album for rolling joints. :P

    TRANCENDANCE I haven't heard yet except of one song Dead Or Alive which was much more energetic and Synergistic alike. I expect that album will be good comeback to the old new style which i missed somehow since those days...

    I could not say it better.

     

    The results of this poll are conclusive.

  5. Hippie: Excellent review man. Your passion for the album really shines through.

     

    As for me, I listened to the samples and was very impressed. Can't wait for my copy to arrive.

     

    This style is what moves me lately. So much fresher than all that music with that baseline. Where do they get that baseline from anyway? Do you get one with each BigMac you buy or something?

     

    La di da...

  6. I can hardly wait to get it no matter cause it won't be as thrilling as his first 2...;)

     

    COSMOLOGY - 10/10

    SYNERGY - 9/10

    INTERGALACTIC - 8/10

    CONTACT - 7/10

     

    I truly hope this won't get 6/10...;)

    I would mostly agree with this.

     

    My rating would be:

    9

    10

    7.5

    6.5

     

    Hmmm.... not hyped about this at all. Wish I could be. The samples don't inspire... me.

  7. Never been a big fan to honest. Melodies are too obvious and the samples are... lame and irritating.

     

    Yet you can see the potential. Almost like they are so close to a masterpiece album, but not yet there.

     

    Those remixes might be good though! I like all the artists mentioned above. The combo could produce just the right mix. I will check the samples for sure... whenever that is available?
