01. Nothing But Music
A great opener. A killer quitar line (played by Alon himself) begins the track perfectly. A very seducing female voice, and then BAM! Bass hits. This track is powerful yet intricate. The guitar throughout adds a romantic touch. Killer opener.
02. Angels
This track starts with a blend of disturbing news headlines, giving you the sense of wickedness this track is going to bring. A non-cluttered bassline holds down a throughly fuct track.
03. Extreme Moments
Funky yet stompable. The perfect way to describe this track. A funkadelic side to this track makes it a perfect dance track.
04. New Move
Probably my favorite track on the album. A very eerie female voice leads you into a very spacy sounding tic toc. Utilizing heavy guitar rifs, it is a somewhat ballsy track that is yet pretty. Almost a cross between Johann Bley and Doof.
05. Memory Flash
Imagine yourself sitting on a beach, staring into the sunset, enjoying your favorite drink and relaxing when you are interupted by the site of a meteor crashing into ocean in front of you. A very gentle calming ambience opens this track which hits hard into a strong bassline. This track is somewhat monatanous but still danceable.
06. Beat Craft
A very mechanical track. Almost like...machine trance. A haunting aroma and fun bassline give this track a headbobbing mentality.
07. Electric Charge
This track is almost a continuation of 'Beat Craft'. Bassline is similar and so is track structure. Not too much different.
08. The Secret Of Sound
A hearty track. Full of melody and rhythm yet quite powerful and moving. A good dance track.,
09. Bizarre Remake
Once again, Alon adds his touch of guitar which add a nice element of 'prettiness' to the track. This track is quite stimulating. The variation of tone in the bassline keeps it interesting.
10. Outro: The Final Move
My Rating: 9/10 An overall hearty, strong, floor stomping album that adds a touch of intricacy.

psytrance is made by people who have never been to goa
-
My collection is broken up into Goa and then Trance/Ambient & Chill. I know my music collection and that is all that is important.
-
Mi Loony Um. For some reason I have had it in my head for the past few hours. It is just intense.
-
I would have to agree. Although I never liked his house projects, both this album and artifakts are premeir minimal chill albums. Very nice.
-
Fantastic. I need to start buying some albums. I have been on a dry spell for awhile now, and it is good to see Dragonfly releasing good material.

Feel free to use any of them.
-
For sure. An example. I have a buddy of mine that produces/dj's. He is always recreating what genres, one day is producing progressive melodic morning trance and the next is minimal dark ambient house. It's ridiculous
Same here. I will describe the music in depth, but I won't organize my collection into 25 sub genres of tranceFor me it is usually difficult to categorize music, my main categories are "works for me" and "doesn't work for me".
Still I appreciate, when people can describe the sounds they like, or don't like with some other words than "killer" and "sucks".
I think not every description of sounds should become an own genre, but it gives people a better idea about a certain track or artist.
"dark intelligent psytrance" for example got me interested, because I thought that fit's my taste, but I don't call it a genre really.
-
Is anyone with me that thinks there are FAR too many genres of trance nowadays? I just saw a topic "dark intelligent psytrance". What the hell? It is becoming ridiculous. What about the days when goa was stadium house? I understand that everything doesn't sound the same, but for there to be sub genres of sub genres is becoming a bit ridiculous. I can't even review an album without being chastised because 'it's not melodic goa' its 'minimal progressive funky breaks with a hint of melody'.
Anyone with me?

Mac > PC
Linux > Windows (not so much for audio, video tho)
I have just used too much other stuff to even consider Windows an option anymore

Entrance is a REAL nice production.

Amen to that.Worst?

IMO, Koxbox is some pretty funky trance, especially The Great Unknown.
-
Has anyone found a place to buy it?
-
Real nice. Just need to paint it up
-
Enjoyed it. Very interesting mixing style but it works very well. I usually prefer the entire tracks, but this was wondeful
I really liked that last track, never heard it before. -
I recognized acid=house. Haven't heard acid in about 4 yearsAcid for me is: 303 606 808 909. Acid trance is another dimension though, and as I stated above there are a lot of examples for me. Rob Acid would also be classified as nice Acid. I have been listening to Acid since the late 80s (well, back then it was called Acid House) (88/89). Acid has many directions and styles hehe.
-
What are you guys classifying as acid?
-
Damn. I really enjoyed both of those.Most over-rated chill-out: Abakus: That Much Closer to the Sun. Worse than even OTT: Blumenkraft.
-
Hah. We had those on our AutoCAD/3d Studio machines at school about 5 years back. Always getting stolen,
-
Shiva is such a beautiful track.
