  1. Great stuff from Entheogenic.

     

    Has been stuck in my CD player for two weeks in a row.

    Much delighted by the new trucks and vibe.

     

     

     

    Good tunes for summer to come.

  2. I find it strange that when highly talented acts like Ott or Younger Brother make follow-up albums, people are very critical and think it is kinda so-so, because they perhaps don't meet all of the enormous expectations that people have built up..

     

    But when someone who has disappointed a lot of people with two so-so albums then makes something a bit better again, then it's suddenly Teh Best Ever.

     

    It doesn't really seem like a very fair way to judge the artists and their creations..

     

     

    I dont agree at all, Entheogenic´s - Dialoque of the Speakers - is one of my all time favorites, also Golden Cap was a pretty good album. They never realy dissapointed me.

  3. 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.

    You so nailed it down!

    Amazing album!

  4. Ok so my patience ran out and I downloaded this album since it never seems to arrive in my mailbox. After 2 listens I cans ay to all of you who thinks they have gone back to something more like their old sound will be greatly disappointed. If Golden Cap tried to do something different this is even one step further in that direction. I don't know what to think about this album, sometimes it's very psychedelic other times not at all. Sometimes it sounds almost as lounge music, and I come to think of the Mar.Y Tierra compilations. There are indeed very good tracks and also som lesser good, still it's obviously a great album.

     

    It sure is different then their earlier stuff, but way better then lheir last release. Different for me in this case to the better more mature new. I mean tracks like Trara, Microcondian, Skullcup are the best "ever" in this genre imho. The album has great difersity and no more indian samples as so many complaint.

     

    Taste is Taste, but this is a great album.

  5. 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.

    I like the album, some of it is very good. One of the better chill albums this year. It has more beat then their earlier releases.

     

    8.5/10
