    Entheogenic - Flight of the Urubus

    in 2008

    Posted

    8.5/10 thats a top rating compared to most other releases in the past year.

     

    I never expect too much so I am never dissapointed, this one has some unexpected tunes and some in the line of older Entheogenic stuff. There are probably 3-4 great tracks on the album, worth having it just for those, the rest is pretty cool.

     

    All in all it has to be in any chillers collection

    in General Psytrance

    We had it playing here for the last 24 hours, we means I bought it and my friends have it, figure it.

    Why am I always the one who has to buy the stuff?

    Conclusion we love it, maybe we smoked to much last night but we were there and back and there again. we had Araras on loop for probably 200 years, dont remember what happened next but dont blame me.

    Fuc... amazing experience.

    Great album, particulary like that Microcondian track, but most of it is awesome!

    New Entheogenic album

    in Artist News and Labels announcements

    Posted

    After having ordered I've been hyping myself up. Why all this silence, no tracklisting (just noticed it was released earlier in the thread), no samples nothing. Not even the slightest preview...maybe this album will hit like a BOMB. I really hope so. Now I'm thrilled!!!

     

     

     

    My thoughts too.

    Its like the silence before the big one.

    The anticipation befor the Bomb will hit.

    Review:

     

    I can't find a review ANYWHERE else on this site. But this is such a great album I had to tell you all about it anyway. :)

     

    This is the second release from Entheogenic, their first being the self titled album that was released in 2002.

     

    Let's skip the background and go through the tracks, shall we? ;)

     

    1. It's a dark and mysterious journey, full of reverbed chants, crows crowing and overall a gorgeous atmosphere. The melodies take you somewhere else - most of them delayed arpeggios. The rhythms are hypnotic and infectious here, sucking you in. Nice start to the album! :)

     

    2. Starts off dark like Ground Luminosity - this track feels a lot more mechanical and industrial in the beginning - eventually finding floating melodies. Again, we have plenty of singing and scalic melodies. Cool track.

     

    3. Probably the best on the album. Begins with some ethereal voice and straight into the synth weirdness. This track is beautiful, extremely peaceful - I can't count how many times it's been played on my stereo. It does sound very pagan too, lots of monks chanting in the background. The entire song keeps building up and up until the amazing string break around 6:00. Sensational!

     

    4. Nice Shpongley flutes in this one. Faster paced than the others too. Great acid lines and the song is full of textures. Again we have the characteristic ostinato like bass, vocals and atmospheric pads with the strong percussion. Nice track!

     

    5. Great track. The McKenna sample really fits this one - "...Life is a problem to be solved, it's a conundrum - it's not what it appears to be - there are doors - there are locks and keys - there are levels..." - The vocal drone is hypnotic, and again this track is very atmospheric. I like the way the track 'explodes' into a 4tothefloor groove before some percussion breaks. Again, this track features a beautiful string break around 6:30.

     

    6. Haven't really listened to this one much. It's very spacey and again we have McKenna in the background. The choir at the end of the track is very surprising - gotta listen to this one more I think.

     

    7. "And then I promise you, you will dream a different story altogether". Very floaty and space like. The first two minutes could have easily passed as from Star Wars - with the pads playing fifths. Again, very atmospheric.

     

    Fantastic album. Just put it on and relax. Only criticism here is that some elements are the same in each track (the hihat pattern is the same in 3 + 4) - which isn't annoying - just that's me being fussy as a musician! :P

     

    Favourites: 1, 3(!!!), 4, 5(!!)

    In my opinion their most psychedelic release.

    A classic right nest to their first one.
