up to date Inca-Nations is the last compilation in the seria. It starts with very famous track by Astrix And Atomic Pulse : Scientific Reality, the new popular musicians from Israel. Logic bomb represents a quality and powerfull track.Saafi Connection : Beyond Your World nothing quite inrteresting in this track made in typical morden sound. Two good remixes on two good trax by Riktam & Basni. One of the most known version of the famous Space Cat : Power Up. also made in the style close to Astrix or Psydrop. Sub 6 : Indian Jackpot a refreshing groovy track with progressive house touch. Again very quality minimal by Beat Bizzare. In the end there is a very dissapointing track by one of my favorites band. Infected Mushroom : Electro Panic absolutely standart track, no any new idea or great melody. Littel bit spoils impression upon the compilation. To suummarise everything i think we have anothe quality and melodic comp from T.I,P. World. i think it dezervs the second place in this seria, but maybe later i will change ma opinion.

Probably the best compilation in the "Nations" series. Almost all trax are stuck in my memory. the first track is the best from Ari Linker, and a great remix from GMS. Meathead Productions : The Big Ship great full on track,a littel bit the in old school style. Riktam & Basni again in collaboration with Raja Ram, Slavia Divinorum a powerfull midnight killer. Alien project one more time with quality dancefloor track taken from the fronthcoming album. Funckadelic psychedelic full on from the new Mexican project. Some old and kind classical trance from The Zobra. Logic Bomb & Antidot didn't make any positive impression on me this time. And Synthetic : The Mummy finish you with powerfull durty psytechno at the end of this killer compilation. I think a must have compilation for all GOA freaks.

The 3rd member of the great TIP "Nations" series. It's defently not the best one, but also not the worst one. Once again the series residents GMS & Ofer Dikovsky strike with powerfull full on trax. Newcomers Fussion, Violet sky and Tycho brought here some interesting material. Quite original track by Typhoon Feat Deedrah. A couple of killer trax from Absolum i hot greeks Lotus Omega. Nothing new from powerfull duo Benji Vaughn & Raja Ram. So on this compilation-Nation there is no any single bad track, but also no any masterpieces. One would like some trax more than others, and one would like the other ones. So on my opinion it is a quality middle class compilation.

Well the second release of the TIP's so called "Nations" series is quite good. Style of compilation is variable from night full on sound (GMS,Oforia) and more technogenic sound by ManMadeMan & ParaSense) to more deep (Bus and Shpongle). Some new tendenses for the year 2000 can be heard here and standart material from Riktam And Bansi, Ofer Dikovsky & Logic Bomb. Total Eclipse - 10 Years Of Trance made a pleasant suprise for me, melodic and memorable track. And finally this compilation it contains one of my all time favorites Shpogle - Devine the Moment of Truth. Actually this mix was called "HalLucinogen trance mix" on DMT EP released the same year on Simon's lable Twisted and it is my favorite mix on this thing. So we have a solid compilation here. All trax are listenable and danceable. Not a bad member of the Nation's series.

this compilation repersents quite standart material for TIP for the last 3 years. List of artist are also more or less usual for TIP (Antidote, Total Eclipse, GMS...). I found only two pretty interesing trax on it, they are Process : Blue Moovies & Bus : North By North West 6 (Top Deck Mix). and absolutely trance classic by Atmos. The only ptocess is the greatest trak by such talanted artist as Atmos. Another trax are uninteresting for me despite their quality is not bad. Maybe Phoetus : Sparkling Soup is quite good dancefloor track. I also expect much better material by Voodoo People, but not this time. So my personal opinion, we have nothing special except the trax mentioned above. Listen to it youself, maybe you find some favorites for you.

Well, after learning about the tragic story of Juan Verdera's life, I've listed to The Muses Rapt album more carefully, and i have to say, I've managed to fill the mental strife of this strong man. i think i can fill through his how he loves LIFE, nature, the wishper of wind, the noise of the forest and that he really belives in mystery of our world. How will be nice, if all morden musicians put all their souls into music they are making. i agdre tha mastering of the album is not perfect, and some rifs are not very good. but all this work leaves strong impressions. It makes to become inlove with you and your life, even if you don't like something in it.That's my personal opinion. i really respect such people like Juan Verdera.

Beyond The Infinite i think is the hardest Juno's album. Most trax have powerfull busslines with strong kicks (except Magnetic, Ice Cube & Silver wich are not so fast) and original tribal precurisions. In all trax there are great melodies and trippy samples which you can here nowhere else. A lot of different live instruments are used for creating them along with very quality sound engeniring. It may seem that all material sound simmilar, but each track have it's own energy and arise different feelings. Unfortunatly there are no traditional ambient track on this album. but it is An essential etnic GOA album as all Juno Reactor's creative work. Deffenetly listen to it.

Luciana by Juno Reactor is a brawe idea to creat one-track album. One of the longest compositions ewer made. It's style is darck deep ambient. It sounds like a long mystical trip. Beginnig with strong noises that form some kind of dynamic structure that lasts during the whole track. Then some syntetic effects are added. Aprox. on the 16th minue of it are wonderfull vocal part appears, then it will be repeated on the 30th minute. And there is no any changes during the time betwen them. In last 20 minutes some spacy electonic sounds and voise samples dilute the same noise structure. Then noice volume become lower & lower and trip finishes. Standart dark ambient trakc,but too long. Creats mystic & spo0cky atmosmphere in the place where this album is playing. Littel bit not in Juno's usual style, but quite interesting & quality composition. Respect to them for thier many-sided talents.

Juno Reactor : Transmissions is one of the first succefull trance releses; recorded on proffesional studio. Ofcourse it dose not sound like GOA trance in morden understanding of this music, but it's GOA by nature. Especially tracks like High Energy Protons , The Heavens, Man To Ray. It sounded completely different from ewerything that was published at the beging of 90-s. Maybe there are some acid house influence in tracks like Luna-Tic, Acid Moon, Laughing Gas. There are also a good cill out track Landing, and some experemental material Contact, 10000 Miles. (that stuff will become traditional for Juno's albums). Album was supported by two singles released the same year Laughing Gas and High Energy Protons. The last one contains wondrfull remixes on The Heavens and High Energy Protons itself. This track I think is should be considered as one of the best GOA classix ever made. Transmissions is the turning point in development of trance music and first step of unique Juno Reactor's style that won't change much during the following 10 years. It's great from time to time listen to this record just to feel real GOA iside you!. P.L.U.R

Lunar Asylum is for sure a twisted album. Pure full-on psytrance, i think it can be considered as a cult album for this style. This sounds are not common for isralian musicians, but their are real madness. In all tracks there is hard strong bass (except We Know Nothing, classical Tr-909 precursion alnog with good rifs. Also all tracks are full of various acid melodies that damage your fisical brains, but make you feel rock. In some tracks there are good metall samples for more effect. On the base of this general description all tracks can be devided into two grups: MAD and ABSOLUTELY MAD. First ones are Iron Age, Goldendawn, Meltdown, Depth Charge, We Know Nothing. And the others are Twister, G_lock, Van Halen. Vanishing Point is my favorite, its not a characteristic track for this album. It has great spacy melodies, jumping bassline and is closer to GOA-trance. To summarise ewerything i will say that this is strong quality full-on album. and every crasy psyman should defenetly listen to it sooner or later. P.L.U.R.

"Immortality" debut album by Domi Pastor. This album is quite dark, but there are also good melodies there on it. Most of the taxx here are dancefloor oriented. Cada Dia, Immortality are fine representetives of morden GOA trance. Fantastic melodies , rocking goa samples and classic kicks. Alltogether that defenetly rulez. Big Balla Boom (Rmx), Fa Fret, Aha are hard & dark full-on psychedelic kikkers. Some very good samples. Great for midnight hot. Eisbluemengarten, Ahim Has, El Fill D'El Commandan(Rmx) are so-called progressive psytrance trax. Quality sounds, progressive rythm and good moledies. Especially for mourning sets after long night on psy pool. The Fly Of The Phoenix slow progressive track with magical but so sad melody starting in the middle of it and till the end. While listening to it, so much thoughts come in to your mind. Simple,but great track. The impression of the music on this album is different, but mostly this is dark music. Maybe sound is not quality enough. A couple of new ideas and felecitous samples. I think Domi Pastor should continue to develope its own style. Good luck.

Alien Project - Dance or Die is not a fully new album by Ari Linker. Some of the tracks on thi album were already released, but despite that album is quite good. Most tracks are very welll logicaly organized and mixed, quality digital & analog mastering (it should be because famous Lior Perlemutter took part in produsing this album). Also there are some interesting collabiration of Ari Linker with other artist & djs. Dance Or Die & Ice Is Nice were written with Jean Borelli and mostly dancefloor oriented. These trax have fat besslines, good kicks and lots of psyeffects and sounds. I would like to recommend DJs to use Dance or Die as an opening track for their great sets. Modulator & Genetic Eyes are more fast and psychedelic trax, close to GMS style. They were already published on EPs. Midnight Sun (GMS remix) - a hit first by Ari. In GMS remix it became even greater. Wonderfull track. Teotihuacan with Cell Firmi peacefull mourning trance,with sunth melodies and TB rifs. Anti@Alien with Serge Souque from Antidote is perfect dancefloor track that contains wounderfull melodie somwhere iin the middle. Deep Spirit& Dust are deep progressive psy trax with original sounds and good basslines. Dance or Die i can say is an intelegent psytrance album, maybe not the best for dance floor, but defenetly worth listening to it. And i will repeat, that track are wery logically built and perfectly mastered. Listen to Alien Project's new albumm published ths year on TIP world.

PSYDROP - The Miracle Man is a fresh drop full of pumping beats, uplifting melodies & original psychedelic sounds. Great debut album for new isralian artist Yoni Salah. Angels Dust, Mind Refund, Perspective Sound shows how morden full-on psytrance should sound. Quality traxx with good samples & precursion. Radical Command, The Power Planet, Online Opus alltogether is a special stuff by Yoni Salah. Uplifting full-on sound with brilliant psychedelic effects and emotional melodies along with pumping rythm. Perfectly suits for dancefloors to make people dance and feel free. Higher Destination outstanding track. Every sample in this track sounds great (guitar, bassline, synthetic melodies). This is real jewel, that makes you high. Imaginary Reality is deep psychedelic track, a littel bit not in the mood of this album, but still quality track. I think PSYDROP have great chanses to become a best new commer of the year 2002 with this album. Real competitor for GMS & Alien Project.

Morphem - Out of Focus is a classical GOA album. But it is not full-on midnight GOA, but soft & moody trance, with lots of pleasant melodies that make our immagination work to achive closer connection with our psychedelic surrounding. Quality sound for the time when it was published. Most trax have good bass lines, a lot of psysounds, proper usage of TB 303 and ofcourse magical melodies, which can be rather flutes, guitars or thast synthetic. Brigers Of The Dawn is think is quite out of focus of this album. This is slow psychedelic track, that suits as background for deep space expeditions. Closed Sector is written in Jean Michel Jarre style and is very short (1:33). Love Is An Ocean is the most interesting and impresionable track on the album. Luquid bassline and acid riffs are mixed up with beatifull guitar melodies and trip-hopping precursions. That is all. Listen to this album in mood.

The politics of Simon Posford's record label Twisted is to publish only quality music, despite not to do it often. And Cypher - I music is thast this kind of release.This album consists of such differen trax, that they are required to be discribed detally, before owerviewing the whole album. 1. 7 Theories Of Human Nature is a night killer, not to fast, but very dark and scary. Great sounds and effects. 2. Dubientish - is excellent psy-dub track, peacefull and hitting at once. Great pice of work. 3. Anaesthesia - experemental trippy psy-trance, something new in industry. 4. Do You Wanna Do It? starts with groove that comes to funky-house, then evolvs into uplifting acid trance. To long I think. 5. Riding On A White Rabbit - first steps in psytechno, but not very hard. 6.Are You Near Death Experienced? - psychdelic breackbeat with good guitar, strings and drums. 7.Starting To Feel Very Weird - again a slow trip to psy-trance, with a lot of interesting samles and unexpected sounds. 8.Alternet - sound like soundtrack on a background of some detective movie. But again a very interesting instrumental track. 9.Opium - just magnifecent. This melody, this strings, this drums. Universal music. 10.Alternet (Deedrah Rmx) - absolutely different from the original version. A masterpice in mourning psy-trance. The best track on the album. Wondrefull album we have in the end. Great work made by Dido (ex Transvawe) in collaboration with his friends from France. We hardly need albums like that to appear more often for developing psymusic industry and culture. Expect to hear more from Cypher group.

All trax written by this french musicians are very intelligent and innovative. Maybe there some other projects in wich members of Spectral are involved? Please, provide us with some information about them. P.L.U.R.
