S-Range - 2001

We're talkin' pulsing morning frequencies, and psychedelic effects... SRange

opens with Re Entry, a pure morning pulsing beat machine, nice and melodic,

also a small guitar sequence is hinted at various points in the track. Yellow

base is just very repetitive, steady beat with some twisted effects, get's

better in the end. Reality Check is more psychedelic, nice soothing background

melody sequence in the end. Complete delete has a calm beat mixed with some

nice psychedelic effects. DOS is one of the better tracks, calm melodies with

some pretty nice effects. Darwin Project starts morning and stays that way

throughout the whole track, really nice and melodic. Morning star's got a

heavier bassline, has some nice vibes going. 2001 quicker and more psy than

the others, has some very nice melodic sequences. Maser is a slow mover, nice

groove, chiller... album ends with OFF, an effect packed epilogue... "download

complete" 8/10

Again we see people dissin' perfectly good music.

I say fuck 'em all... This one is just cool. 9/10 here, and so what it is

melodic and minimal at the same time...? It's just a great mix of styles on

this album.

And.. Sonofmankind is right here... Each group has it's own style.. So this is

S-Range. Take it or leave it!!

Well people,thanx for allkinds of reviews.

If everybody liked the same music it would only be room for one artist.

For the record:I dont have a Nordlead,but all analog modulation syntheziser are

able to make almost the same sounds.

Merry x-mas and happy new year to everybody:

Fan or not !!

yes, SRange rocked San Francisco last year. It was among the top 3 acts we

had(imo), and despite a minor technical difficulty, he went out in style

playing till the lights came on. It would certainly be wondeful if he came

back, but with some new material

Fantastic stuff! S-Range is very much like Human Blue. Not as good, but

definitely close. This is recommended to all Human Blue fans. Progressive

minimal psychadelic tunes...

So what's the bullshit about the cover? Who cares. These are supposed to be

music - not art reviews.

As for the album, it's really great. Tracks range from deeper and darker ones

to absolutely wonderful morning tracks that work just as perfectly on a dance

floor as at home. I'm not the biggest fan of the progressive sound, although I

do appreciate some stuff. But this must be the most perfectly balanced

progressive album I've heard. So soft and dreamy and still very dancable. I

love it.

Well, having owned this album for one year now, only today I sensed all its

potential in its complexity. Its subtle, simply as subtle that every time I

listened to it before it granted me fresh flow of emotions, but every time its

spinning stopped - simply no memories retained in my head, just the magik

wearing off... It was great & disappoining at the same time - my logik part of

brain by no means could pigeonhole it, and that was an abuse, perhaps! But

today I finally managed to break the vicious circle, having given it

triple-spin in my player while living the city life - don't know how could

this gem get slipped past my interest for the last half-a-year! Yeah, thats

pure classics, for it incorporates influences from several musik cultures into

one distinct stream - stream of pure joy, GOA trance alway tried to deliver

us! So, the means may differ, could evolve, but who cares - this album, along

with others, demonstrates the spirit's still alive. But the key to

understanding that lies beyond its structure (which I stumbled upon, too) -

just let the sound push your freed mind towards new horizons you never thought

of... And the ultimate reward won't take long to follow. Each single track

brings its own new elements on the foreground while staying true to the common

concept of this album - that fact speaks for itself for "the visionary

quality" of the trip you, fellow traveller, are about to take: get ready for

the steady flow! I won't pick any favourite tracks here: they all proven to be

successful under certain circumstances. So, to sum it up, this one gets solid

8,5 from me. Tchankov I.V. (civ604@mail.ru)

I really like this album and think it deserves its recommended rating. I can

see that some people (like some of those above) think it a bit manicured and

dull, but I think that it appeals in a very different way to a lot of trance.

Rather than full-power, seize you by the throat, intensity, this is a gentle

record with a different kind of psychedelic experience on offer: hypnotic,

wafty, floaty, delicate; more mushrooms than acid, if you like. In a way this

album works best if you are in a quiet mood, and can just surrender yourself

to the music and float off. The production quality is excellent, with groovy

3-d sounds. I think it would be great in a forest somewhere at sunset. 9/10 ~*~

This album is undoubted brilliance but it is amood album & the mood has to be right for me to fully appreciate that brilliance!

That has happened on a number of occasions with this album, always at night, always looking at a city landscape! Don't know why but that's me!

Reccomended but stick with it if you don't initially love it ;)

For me this album was always one to listen to in daytime during warm spring rains when there isnt much fog.

I don't know why either..

In any case its a beautiful album!!
