    5. Omegahertz - Onar

    6. Goasia - Spiritual Connection

    7. Omegahertz - A Soul Rising...

    8. Goasia - Totem

     

    Purple Energy 2 just released, and of course I had to get it, seeing that half of the tracks were contributed by Goasia, a very promising act that I first discovered on Pure Planet. Enough intro talk now, let me guide you through the tracks..

     

    1. Omegahertz - A Child From Another Planet: I had never heard any Omegahertz track before but since he was allowed to share an album with Goasia it should be good.. How wrong I was. The basic components of "A Child From Another Planet" are plastic fullon elements and loads of awkward 'goa melodies'. It's so annoying that I'm sometimes having a hard time listening to it.

     

    2. Goasia - Yin & Yang: What a contrast to the previous track! Something that actually has an atmosphere and melodies that actually are beautiful and not ultra cheesy tinkling. Thank you Goasia. The track itself is quite a smooth journey and it has a certain repetiveness that not all 'new school' goa artists dare to have, and I sometimes feel they are hiding behind the constant melodies pumping out. Not much to complain about, maybe it should have had a longer more mellow intro?

     

    3. Omegahertz - Primeval Civilization: Ok, let's give Omegahertz a new chance to proove himself. Primeval Civilization is the next track and damn, we're talking fullon nitzhonot here. After the first breakdown we get this terrible melody that sends my gag reflex out of control.

     

    4. Goasia - Spectralys: Instant kick, no intro. And when the first melodies are introduced it's 100% Goasia sound. The complete track sounds quite similar to Yin & Yang but slightly more intense and powerful.

     

    5. Omegahertz - Onar: After a short intro we're treated to a very unwelcomed Com.pact kiddy bassline. Not good, but perhaps a bit more listenable than the previous Omega tracks. I'm not going to waste words on telling you how bad or sometimes semi-OK this track is so let's move on.

     

    6. Goasia - Spiritual Connection: Yeah! Track name straight out of Generic Goa Term Maker , and it starts of as the usual Goasia sound. The repetiveness of the melodies gives it a nice progressive-ish build that I really like. As the first melodies that built up a nice drive fades out I can hear some vocals that I swear I've heard somewhere else. Is that Michelle Adamson? The buildup is quite subtle and results in a massive intensity of swirling melodies and echoing female vocals, AMAZING!

     

    7. Omegahertz - A Soul Rising...: Final chance now Omegahertz.. And yeah, it starts of quite OK but the ending is just... sigh.

     

    8. Goasia - Totem: Starts of with a silky smooth intro with some nice acid bubbling in the background. I'm quite impressed how he manage to sound very 'goa' with a more modern touch. A lot of the other 'new schoolers' just sound too plastic but this is just great. One thing though.. you're kind of waiting for it to explode but unfortunately that doesn't really happen and that actually makes this 8 minute track sound a bit short!

     

    I'm not sure wether the Goasia tracks sound more amazing than they should just because Omegahertz is so bad but I've quite settled for that that is not the case... The Goasia tracks are amazing and reason enough to buy this. The production of his tracks is quite samey but as long as it's this high quality stuff I don't mind..

    alright!

    I'll be landing at Stansted 22:10, yeah a bit late but there were no other option because of an exam ending at 18 :o

    Question now is, where the hell do I go from there :)

    OD, you said you live near the venue, is it 100% confirmed that it is the right venue? And how do I get there as cheap as possible, buss, taxi, train, rickshaw.. ? :)

     

    And what's this nasty rumour about pushing the dates? :huh:

    this is what Carl (one half of ethereal) said a few months ago:

     

    We're both quite busy with school etc, we do have some new stuff going, but progress is awfully slow due to time constraints. Right now it's difficult to say when we'll have something to show you, but we can promise you it will be worth the wait!

    The upcoming "Fluorotronik" -compilation will be out in September/October [2004] and it's going to be a bomb

    "Fluorotronik" -compilation is currently being mastered and prepared for release. With all probability it'll be out in August [2005].

    A dynamite compilation filled with full-power melodic nighttime blasters

    Release date: January 2006.

    :(

     

    hope they get it released at all, at least one totally mind blowing track

    best fullon of 2005, tried it and it worked really well on the floor :D

    this is SO massive and it has loads of very nice melodies rarely heard in other fullon. Don't miss the climax on track 5, WOW :o:D

     

    Fav's: 1, 3(!), 5(!!), 6, 8, 9(!)

     

    Thank you Japan, for bringing us Phi & Slum :)

    Psyko Disko - Psycho Disco (Flying Rhino)

    http://www.discogs.com/release/3722

    Weird, australian music (originaly released by Psy-harmonics). It sounds similar to Ubar Tmar's "True", has some breakbeats and strange noises - should be good. And it's Flying Rhino. And it costed only 10EUR shipped ;):D

     

    Chi-A.D. - Anno Domini (Velvet Inc.)

    http://www.discogs.com/release/74353

    It's OK, but at the moment I like "Infinitism" more. Maybe will grow on me

    Psyko Disko - Nobody... the ending is one of the best moments in psy :)

    Chi-A.D. album is good, it'll probably grow on you.. Anno Domini track is amazing
