I ordered FAHRENHEIT PROJECT Part 6 PLANETARY HOUSE NATION Y2KAOS From Ultimae & Koxbox - U-Turn from Twisted's website. Hopefully they'll be with me soon I am also waiting for saiko sounds to send me the disc that was missing from my ganja beats order! But now they are out of stock

If the live stuff is good, there's a good chance this album will be decent too. I'm looking forward to it all the more now!!

Dangerous thing to do! I've been dissapointed many times. Hey, it can't be as bad as the bamboo forest dissapointment Physically impossible!

Cheers Echo! Just ordered mine. I was thinking of waiting to by it in the shops but I just didn't want to wait!!!

Astral Projection - Flying into a Star reminded me of a star trek episode where they try & fly into a star!

Did anyone else get this? There seemed to be a lot of hype when it wasn't being released & by the time it came out, nobody cared.

Butterfly Dawn Soundtrack to the Warp Experience

Soccer Trance

I picked up the Ganesh rerelease a few years ago & have the vinyl too. The vinyl has a better version of Atomic Armadillo (The Fluffening) on it.

Saiko is how you read psycho phonetically in Japanese. Maybe that's where it came from?

Well I thought you were the guy with the knowhow to champion Fax!

Glad you liked it

He had a track in an advert right? His first album was a big hit & his second had a famous famous track used on a car advert but this album I have never heard anything about, which I find very strange because it is definately Michael Cretu's finest work. It's a real journey of an album, in parts it's quite lethargic & in other places it's quite upbeat. A lot of the tracks have a dark melancholic edge & all are very atmospheric. Lets take a look! 1 Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! A short atmospheric opener. Beeps in the background & astronaught type mutterings make it sound like a message into outerspace Things are changing, but nothing changes, yet still there are changes. Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi 2 Morphing Thru Time The beat comes in, in this track. It's very slow & lethargic. Gregorian (sounding) chants give a very trippy earthy atmosphere, whereas the vocals make it sound like the track is flying through fog. Great stuff. 3 Third Of It's Kind A 19 second track, more of a transmission. 4 Beyond The Invisible A Slow tribal beat & dreamy female vocals set an ethereal atmosphere which is then imposed upon by a powerful male vocal. The vocal sounds good though & it adds ummph! to the atmosphere. 5 Why!… The lyrics are a bit cheesy but the beats & music are good & the powerful chorus carries on the ummph! from the last track. Once again the vocals (sound not meaning) add to the atmosphere rather than detract from it as do the very faint trippy chants in the background. 6 Shadows In Silence The pace has increased now & this one has a nice melody, no lyrics & very minimal use of vocals. The one vocal is a very long drawn out cry. It sounds very dark & melancholic. I like it a lot, it's dreamy. 7 The Child In Us This is my favourite Enigma track to date. Female tribal chanting sandwiches more gregorian sounding chants which then leads into english lyrics. It all creates another melancholic sound that makes me want to fly away & makes me feel like I can. The beats have quickened again & are more complex here. I love it! 8 T.N.T. For The Brain This follows on very well from the previous track. Tribal beats, a nice simple melody & a dark sounding voice half sings Smell your skin, feel your breath. you on my side, I couldn't resist. I hope I'll understand someday, what's the meaning of this crazy game. It is real& Pure... T.N.T. for the brain. The rest of the lyrics in this are kind of muffled as are the male vocal here which is more explosive in the chorus. 9 Almost Full Moon Another melancholic monster. Like track 6 the chants are very long & drawn out cries but these sound more twisted & almost painful (like they are in pain, not painful on your ears). The track has nice beats & a melody that manage to make the track sound both quick & slow at the same time. 10 The Roundabout Thi strack makes me imagine a shaman stood at the top of a small mountain, surrounded by fog trying to shout a message to the spirits beyond the veil of mist. A great chant, the synths & some very very faint spacey noises create that atmosphere. 11 Prism Of Life This track slows theh pace down for the finale. We start with a beautiful sounding voice saying I am hunted by the future, will the future be my past? Or is time a fade out picture of my everlasting cast? Loving is fazing, love is moving to the rhythm of your sight& we get closer to the crossing point of life. This leads into a very slow chant which conjures images for me of memories of another time, long ago in another life 12 Odyssey Of The Mind A spacey outro sums up the album & takes the message away into outer space This is a great album to have in my chill collection. It's trippy & dreamy & completely different from all my other albums. Some people might be put off by the lyrics but the are usually so unclear that they do not becoming annoying after repeated listens. And I usually hate lyrics. Favourites #2 #6 #7! #9 #10 #11 Giveit a try. You might like it!
