Guest rough and Rush Posted March 7, 2000 Share Posted March 7, 2000 Classic goa stlye with those long melodic intros (not cheesy) with long build ups. deft morning stuff or building up. Kinda same style as dimension 5, not bangy like a lot of trance being released today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloeken[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted March 7, 2000 Share Posted March 7, 2000 This CD only contain three good tracks: 2,4 and 6 but these track alone is worth to buy this CD (The Flame Of Eternal Life is GREAT!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted March 7, 2000 Share Posted March 7, 2000 Mediocre CD, some good and some bad tracks, just as the guy above mentioned, there are 3 good tracks on it, but none of them is awesome!! I really don't get it, CHi-a.d. makes so fucking good music on compilations (Exit Eternity, Celestial, Eye Am The I => One of the best Goa-songs EVER...)!! But on his own albums he never has that kind of Goa-Trance and that's a pitty because I love it more than what there is on this CD!!

draeke Posted March 13, 2000 Share Posted March 13, 2000 in my opinion the album is great and you have to get the whole messages from it. "I have been there..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 Very, very solidly planted in the upper atmosphere. This is my cup of tea. Gorgeous voice effects. A bit samey sounding towards the end, but not annoyingly so. Yummy laconic housey voice in Pathfinder. It could be about 5 BPM faster, but that's a niggling quibbly detail. Get it.

Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 I can't really understand why so many people are "dizzing" this album. It is by far the best stuff Chi-ad. has produced so far! I mean, just listen to the title track "Anno Domini", it's so intelligent and so beautiful! And "Pathfinder" is definitely not as bad as everyone says! It's more percussive, but still his usual, beautiful and hypnotic style! The only bad track is the last one "Redivider". But this is a definite recommendation, to everyone that still enjoys melodic, indian-influenced goa-trance!

DJBrucie Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Thats weird because Pathfinder is my favourite tune on this. Ah well, one mans biscuit is another mans potato. Or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lemon[at]mail.bip[dot]net Posted April 28, 2000 Share Posted April 28, 2000 ebruce, I agree fully. Pathfinder rocks, it's really hypnotic. This album is darker and more tribal than Chi-Ad's previous stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit_ Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 This album is very good. Try listening to for example Anno Domini, Pathfinder, The Flame of Eternal Life, just to mention a few, while trying to releax or sleep. Hopefully you'll discover the deep peacefull mood created by all the diffrent layers. I agree that this album is a little more tribal than the previous Chi-Ad releases. It's so filled with life and soul due to all the diffrent sounds and layers. I think you really have to _listen_ to this album to fully understand and appreciate the tunes. I hope you try since it's a wonderfull experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest filip[at]att[dot]net Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 I think this album is fantastic. Here is what it is and here is why... First of, all the tracks are very long. They don't super peak but they do have peaks. The tracks are not stompers. They are more like artforms. Very beautiful melodies with a lot of meditterenean influence. The beat is normally 144bpm but the melodic influence and the overall atmosphere that this Cd creates is very peaceful and very emotional. Each time you listen to this CD you get a newer perspective on the sounds and on the overall feel it tries to create. If you expect something explosive with tweaky sounds left and right, don't get this. If you want something emotionally and intellectually experimental then this is it. 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 great stuff! 9/10... not dark and stormy, great melodies, good atmospheres... pathfinder is my favorite!! its crazy and stomping and takes me somewhere... as do most of the songs on here, thats missing on a lot of CDs nowadays, this is good ol GOA (if u remember what that is) trance, and it will take u places definately worth the buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brasil Psychedelic Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Big shit.I think it´s a big,big shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phase2 Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 my opinion 8/10. very nice , different stmospheric trance! Some of the tracks are solid 10/10's, but there are a few kind of noisy and disharmonious tracks that spoil the overall magical atmosphere. I have recorded this onto MD, and deleted two of the middle tracks...and it is fucking EXCELLENT this way. It is definately quality work, and worth the buy....

Guest Goa Sage Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 This album IS pure shit (in my humble opinion of course)! I'm annoyed every time I listen to it. It feels like I want to throw the disc against the wall or something. Not a single decent track. Some of the melodies are nice, but totally ruined by the foggy atmosphere. Everything is so calm and boring. I love Ambient, so I'm used to chilled out vibes, but this is just so lame! Bad production, awful sounds and no real bass punch! I'm afraid this is one of my worst record investments ever. Some of you seem to like it, however... I just can't understand why... Sorry.

Guest Baboon Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 don´t really understand you guys who don´t like this album ??

Guest mikrozomme[at]bgvirtual[dot]zzn[ Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Hmmmm...Sometimes I like this album,especially in the superb morning hours.But I find it very boring and repetitive.This is made in average speed that annoys me as well."Eye Am The Eye" does a lot more for me.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pretty__poison[at]hotmail[dot]co Posted October 21, 2000 Share Posted October 21, 2000 O.K. Eye Am The Eye is great but Moonart is ,I think even greater. You just want to hear this again and again. I mean I want to hear this over and over again. 1 is O.K., 2, 2 and the rest except no 4 offcourse is Good. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FelipeLysergicProBrasil Posted October 22, 2000 Share Posted October 22, 2000 This is a strange trance. I really don´t liked this album...if you listen to artists like infected mush,darksoho,yumade,domestic,little blue man,para sense, don´t buy this. Faster,please...

vOrTeXdReAm Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 I used to hate it, but nowadays I kind of like it. The best tracks are "Anno Domini", "Shadow Spirit", "Myopic Utopia" and "Moonart". Calm beat, ethnic melodies and a dreamy atmosphere. Not perfect, but still good.

Guest None Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 This album is good, but as one of the guys said Chi-A.D. can do better. it gets 7/10 from me. Anno Domini, Pathfinder and The Flame of Eternal Life roxx. And i don't understand why all people write "Eye am the Eye", it's "Eye am the I" nothing else, by the way it is one of the best Goa-singles in history. // goa | way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonkers[at]phys.rug[dot]nl Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 This is a true masterpiece! The first 2 are very melancholic, it sends chivers up and down my spine. The third kicks ass! Definetely not a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ravemail10 Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 This is close-your-eyes-and-float-away music. Not full on at all, but then who says everything must be full on? Not downtempo(yet) but chilly. This is what "Enigma" would sound like if he was making psytrance. And that's not a bad thing! 7.5/10 Because it's good but there is still room for improvement.

Guest MasterGoa Posted December 16, 2000 Share Posted December 16, 2000 Good allaround music. Great stereo effects, good beats and lots of imagination. Pathfinder is really good with a soultry sexy voice sending shivers down your spine as your listen. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
