PURPLE ENERGY 2: GOASIA vs OMEGAHERTZ Before starting my review, I would first like to say that having those 2 artists on the same album was not a good idea, as both have a complete different style of goatrance. Personaly I like oldskool and nu-skool music the most, especially with happy melodies and complexity that tend to bend my mind You WILL notice that my review is quite the opposite then that of most before me in this thread... Track 1: Omegahertz - A Child From Another Planet This song starts of very happy and playfull, innocent like a child with nice breaks and a dreaming lift-of carrying me away all over the dancfloor :posford: Especially the last few minutes of this song are perfect for me... If you don't feel happy after that, I think you need to check your brain (no offense ofcourse, everyone has his taste) 8/10 Track 2: Goasia - Yin and yong This song start of slowly lifting up the trancemood with simple melodic tunes throughout the first 5 minutes (!) of the track. It nicely keeps up the flow, but fails to carry me away into space. I reckon it would have suited better as first track of the album, but in general I find it to be just simple trance without complexity or any energyzing lift-of. So actually this track passes by without even being noticed. Keeping simplicity can be good, but not in this case. 6/10 Track 3: Omegahertz - Primeval Civilization The second song of Omegahertz. After hearing the first one I was quite eager to hear what he'll throw at us this time. The song starts of pretty energetic without any real intro, which can be nice from time to time, if you are able to keep up the change in the song... like telling a story more or less. With a bit more crazyness in the tweeking sounds then with his first song, together with the abundance of noticable breaks, this song definitly got my drift. Like stated before by Agneton, this song almost sounds like Nitzhonot in a new jacket So, classified under psychedelica first class! 8/10 Track 4: Goasia - Spectralis After hearing Goasia's first track on this album, I was a bit afraid of listening to the others, fearing it will keep me in some kind of slumber without actually waking me or giving me the energy I want to find in goatrance. Luckily this time Goasia starts of more active then he ever was in "Yin and Yong" After 3m45s of nice flowing moods he finaly made some decent break, but failed to change the melody after the lift-of... Almost making you think of all those artists telling you there will be an explosion coming up but never do... Nevertheless he manages to keep the flow going in a nice way, so this track had something in it after all, as the last 2 minutes ease the pain of the failed lift-of. Definitly better then "Yin and Yong" but this artist can do better then this. 7/10 Track 5: Omegahertz - Onar The third song of Omegahertz immediatly starts of very activly, flawlessly pulling you into his melody. Again very happy music telling this harsh grey fkd up world to go take a break An entertaining song which will stay in control of your brain untill the very last second, tweeking his -quite long- melody all the way to the end Although I must say the melodies in this song are completly the way I like it, the bassline does remind me of full-on music from time to time. So I reckon if Omegahertz worked as well on his bassline as on his melodies in this song, then it would be flawless through my ears. 7.5/10 Track 6: Goasia - Spiritual Connection Again you hear the difference with Omegahertz immediatly when this song starts. Track 5 & 6 do not fit right next to each other, but I told this before, Goasia - Omegarhertz don't work. The song itself starts of with the tipical Goasia sound we are now used to and again he takes half of his track to build up feeding on his sounds initial trancemood, threatening to lose my interest because of this. If Goasia was able to make landscapes appear like Afgin does, this song would have been way better. Unfortunatly Goasia appears to have very strict lines which he dares not to cross. So conclusion, nothing special, just fills up space, sorry. 5.5/10 Track 7: Omegahertz - A Soul Rising Omegahertz's last song. This one starts of easy, teasing you with a vague melody in the background. After a minute you definitly reckonize his sound and the way he makes his melodies. Luckely for us he can make a story inside his melodies, but it is a "we live happely ever after" melody, which apperently not everyone loves... A nice melodic explosion, a few minutes before the end, only feeds the hunger of my brain on my quest for more more moooore :clapping: Again, when I listen to this song, noone in this world will be able to make me feel bad ever again... euh well at least for quite some time To state at least one downside to this song, its not long enough! 8.5/10 Track 8: Goasia - Totem Final song of this album. Starts of pretty interesting with more activity then the previous songs of Goasia. Finally Goasia manages to put some more change in his song. Unfortunatly he doesn't really has his ups n downs in this song, leaving it rather flat compared to what Omegahertz is bringing. It is kinda missing its psychedelics and feeds more on trancemoods. Nevertheless this song is better then his previous songs as it actually manages to give some kind of story with it, but sadly when the song finally lifts of, it ends. 7/10 CONCLUSION So, to make a long story short, these two artists are not to be combined. For me Omegahertz DEFENITLY made this ablum worthwhile! Goasia on the other hand lacks his ability to make his sound complex and interesting to listen to. His simplicity bores me endlessly, although the sounds he uses are nice, they could be used way better. I reckon making a blend of these two artists sounds would make all of us happy. Vemps
