Lamat Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 SINN TEC RECORDS Neelix - No Way To Leave 1. Side B 2. The next 3. Think on me 4. No way to leave 5. Complication 6. Follow 7. Of nine 8. Rien ne va plus 9. The second I'm not a long reviewer and review track by track is imo not that necessary well with some cd's it is, other releases it isn't this one isn't Neelix brings us here a perfect concept, the concept that I like, more and more are different genres coming together, most people will experience neelix as progressive but I see many fullon elements in it, this is very uplifting and continue walk in the woods bass line, the sounds are very atmosphere and well used, everything fits at the right place and comes when you want it to come, it feels like surfing on the psy bass lines, only the vocal samples are a bit disappointing, off course experiencing the new melodic progressive wave lately this release is not filled with dark pumping sounds but has got nice crystal clear psychedelic flying sounds coming from everywhere, this is perfect for home listening and super to for driving in the car, although it's minimal comparing all the morning fullon it keeps you busy second after second, not one minute you get bored, this is a release when you want to enjoy, not get excited but just flow, the vibe is humble but still positive and then again very serious, Neelix creates perfect the feeling that they know what they are doing and have 100% control of each sound they create, and that is what I like, a goa artist who knows what he's doing. the baselines are sometimes more progressive and change into fullon formula once & while, compare it with another artist I would say yotopia, the bass lines ticks very good like the good old Shiva chandra ticking what keeps it all motivating. well conclusion 9/10 absolutely Progressive lovers who want some stronger progressive Fullon lovers who want a change and slow down for a while but still needs that little power This is the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0fane Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Overall I didn't like it. I especially have a major problem with the incredibly annoying voice-samples and vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatsu Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I got this CD from a friend and I have to say I really like it. The style is, as described above, a blend of progressive and full-on elements together with some voice samples. For me this works perfect, I even appreciate the samples! It's not the "boring" (no offense please) psyprogressive I can't stand but it's also not one of the full-on clones that allready exist more than enough. A really nice album and I'm soon going to buy it for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tox Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Just wanna say that the cover is awful. 411745[/snapback] I thought it was one of the cooler ones I've ever seen & the music is just pounding German quality. The vocal-samples definitely add a clubby vibe, but who said that's a bad thing? Neelix is a real cool guy btw, no star-attitude what so ever: he's a real party-animal & always dancing in front of the speakers when he likes the dj...

Manuser Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Just wanna say that the cover is awful. 411745[/snapback] I have no clue what is awful in this cover. Perhaps a vampire or a dark forest is cooler for you, i don't know... The album is nice, it's easy listening to and i recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The samples ruin this one completely... 50+ time repeating a vacuous phrase is liable to do that. I like Neelix but his sample usage drives me up the wall sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it looks more than Hip hop cover than pop IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I don't care about covers, if the music is good it's good, and I like the concept, the more fullon minded progressive, the progressive with power, not overloaded, but still keeps you busy all the time, but indeed one thing, the sample repeating sucks, too bad, big mistake, continue repeating the same sound or sample is just not goa, goa is about varation and rolling like a machine, the machine repeats ok, but that takes a while, that sample really breaks the atmosphere and makes you wanna skip to the next track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I think it's the degree of repetition that becomes an issue for some listeners here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooko Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 we don't need covers with women faces in Psy trance. 434709[/snapback] continue repeating the same sound or sample is just not goa 434991[/snapback] let me guess: you guys have a list with all things that are indeed "goa" and of the stuff that is needed in "psytrance"? too bad neelix doesnt have that list too!

traveller Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Since some uneducated phools don't know.. Neelix is the chef of Voyager: and 7. of Nine is reference to Seven Of Nine (aka annika hansen) she has mighty big tits.. The album.. I haven't heard yet. But I will.. this thread got me interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 After listening to this album some more I can tell a bit better why I like the samples in most of the tracks (especially track 1 and 2): As Basilisk allready has said the same samples get repeated on and on in the tracks. For me this is very hypnotising and intrancing. I understand why it is anoying for some but for me it works perfeclty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the album is really enjoyable, "Follow" track for example is worth listening to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_kolibri_ Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 this album is as a whole a good album. Many good tracks he has his own sound and style, and I like it. Also have respect for it. Have played "think of me" and "no way to leave" on gigs and they worked very well. I have also listened to this album alot at home. As for the cover. If he liked it and wanted it, it probably had an idea behind it. Imo this cover really connects with the album as a whole. But that is just me and my look on things.

D3lirious Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 This album rocks I think. I get a bit of the same feeling as when I listen to Shiva chandra (the older albums). I think the cover is pretty nice too. They could have done some adjustments to the cocaine sans font tho. In my eye it´s not really spot on but hey, what the heck... It´s nice anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveller Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Fuck I'm in love with this album.. long enough time for mp3s.. going to include it with my next order This strikes me as somehow very intelligent groovy music If I was a dj I'd always start my set with complication.. perhaps loop the intro part once.. make people really wait for the "if you want to dance.. now is the time!" sample and then a short breath.. and BOOM! enter bassline I think there are still many many things left to discover in this album. Doesn't seem to age like most new releases.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 nice album! Funny thing is, he looks just like Neelix! Only a human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm listening to it for the first time right now. I just got thru the 1st track and it was pretty good. Like others have said there is a lot to keep your mind focused on. The repeated samples (aka track 2) are maddening. It's just not necessary. As for the cover, I like it. It gives me a Grudge feel, you can just see the name and title of the CD flickering in and out. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 THis is probably one of my least-played prog releases... I really get tired of Oompa basses... And those repeated samples.. Man... Great sound, just too typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
