Anoebis Posted February 9, 2000 Share Posted February 9, 2000 Jaïa - Blue Energy Artist: Jaïa Title: Blue Energy Label: Cross Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 06'46" Sommeil Paradoxal 02. 09'26" Anawa's Paradise 03. 07'25" Breathing Ocean 04. 08'13" Brainstorm 05. 09'44" Nasty Angel 06. 09'21" Maï Maï 07. 08'59" Spiritual Drops And Eternal Ices 08. 09'25" After The Rain Review: Very pure cd... All songs are very well balanced and they all have a long building-up with lots of nature or tribal sounds...!! Because of the long building-up the most songs are really good... They have spiritual influences but song 2-6 are also pretty hard!! Song 1&8 are Chill/Ambient-songs!!! Best songs are: 1,2,4,5,6! I hope you enjoy this magical trip!!

Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted February 9, 2000 Share Posted February 9, 2000 An absolutely stunning, musical experience. The album is one perfect journey. Starts out with an ambient track that leads into the funky and cool "Anawa's Paradise". From there on 5 awesome melodic, atmospherical and uplifting pieces of goatrance follows. It all ends with one of the most beautiful ambient tracks I've heard. Breathtaking. Get this ASAP... P.L.U R. Psylent Buddhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted February 19, 2000 Share Posted February 19, 2000 I totally agree with the 2 above me : the album is a real journey. I prefer the faster track Brainstorm, but all tracks are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Children Posted February 27, 2000 Share Posted February 27, 2000 Pretty Good CD :-) My Favourite Tracks are Tracks 4,6,8, and I don't think there is any Bad Track on this CD ... another CD made to be listened to in its entirety :-) Rating : 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rough and Rush Posted February 27, 2000 Share Posted February 27, 2000 My energy for Jaïa has been renewed after seeing them live. Musically they must rate as one of the more together and uplifting duos around and this Cd is no exception. Can be a little bit GOAish and could be classified as new age trance but still posseses the severity and power of great psychedelic trance. Mai Mai must rank as one of the most beautiful songs ever and Anwars paradise just blows me away everytime. A definite must have for those who appreciate intelligent music and look forward to ANY new releases these guys are going to put out. More like this please.

Guest andrei Posted May 9, 2000 Share Posted May 9, 2000 Blue Energy is the closest Man will ever come to The Perfect Album. This is a sonic masterpiece. Rumours are that it will be re-released sometime in the second half of 2000, on a different label. Start praying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joel Kronenberg Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 This is the most complete, well thoughtout, and composed CD i have ever heard! Not because any track on its own is amazing, but rather because the whole CD in a whole works perfectly. Every track is wonderfully mixed into the next. Blue Energy is a true voyage. Starts out almost new age-ish (tho not as commercial), and then gets more aggressive, to a point near the end when it completely mellows down into the most beautiful sound scape you could ever imagine with "After The Rain." The dancefloor tracks would have to be "Mai Mai", "Nasty Angel", and "Anawa's Paradise." 10/10 =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LaGoaTrance Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 I agree with everybody here, this album is magic, a real dream...between Goa, Trance, ambient and techno. I hope there will be a next Jaïa album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my wife, psychedelia........... Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 NO WORDS, JUST FEELINGS....10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hagai Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 No words can describe the feelings that comes in my mind whenever I hear stuff from this album , actually I don't have this masterpiece , but I do have some stuff on MP3. I'm gonne erase all those MP3s and buy this album , all those gems blended toghether in a one of a kind album , indeed this is one of the most beautiful , unique , special , magical , straight from the heart kind of Trance I have ever heard (and I heard alot). This is Trance made from the heart and the soul , if I could cry i would do that (it's really ashame I can't cry...) , whenever I hear Jaïa one thing comes to mind:Peace Love Unity Respect.

Guest psytrance1[at]excite[dot]com Posted October 13, 2000 Share Posted October 13, 2000 This has just been re-released by Yellow Feather Records out of Japan, available NOW (10/2000) from Spectral Psychedelia at www.spectralpsy.com. And better yet, it comes as a 2CD set, with Blue Energy the first CD, and Blue Synergy as the second. Have only listened to it once, and I do like Blue Energy as a chill-type CD. But Blue Synergy is even better! It's more upbeat, faster paced, every track is suprisingly GOOD! My suggestion: GET IT NOW while they have it... you won't regret it!

Guest [Anonymous] Posted October 28, 2000 Share Posted October 28, 2000 Jaïa is sensational, groovy but at the same time beautiful... if blue energy made you guys lose it, then well you have to hear blue synergy (the new one)... the new album has certainly made this group as one of my favorites... way to go Jaïa...

Guest Goa Spirit Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 What an album!!!!! the new release on the japanese label, is awesome. It contains the old Blue Energy and 6 out of this world bonus tracks... Just put the Blue Synergy (bonus one) on and get ready for a psychedelic journey... this is trance at its best and after a really long time too... this album just simply blew me away.. I went for their live show along with space tribe in New York and I must say they rocked the place. Their style is simply fabulous and multi dimensional. they play a wide variety of music, my favorite tracks on the new cd are 1,2,3,5..,. bom!

Guest chu42f[at]bangor[dot]ac[dot]uk Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 Fantastic cd. There isn't a bad track on the album. The bonus tracks are wicked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tequila Posted November 3, 2000 Share Posted November 3, 2000 With these very trippy sounds, and its very melodic ambiance, Jaïa gives us a damn beautiful album.The sounds are so freh, and pure that I can't stop dreaming during listening to this album. distinguing the tracks wouldn't be interesting, what you have to know is that this is superb, magic, and uplifting and its entirety.It's always the perfect meeting point between goatrance and ambient,-goatrance because of its power, ambiant because of its unwindness- wich make this albim being a pure killer.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted November 9, 2000 Share Posted November 9, 2000 I got the Yellow Feather 2CD version (Blue Energy/Blue Synergy). I wish I'd got this in 1998, before I'd got tired of the melodic movement so I could appreciate it better in its proper context. The first disc is nicely constructed, but still shows its age. Mai Mai is probably the best track on there IMNSHO. The second disc sometimes sounds a bit old-school (pre-3D Vision) French (supersaturation with cheesy Greek-style melodies with very overused high-hat, think 'trance on a Vespa'), but also features the gorgeous tracks 'Sentences to Heaven', 'Kannibal' and 'Meditation'. The record is worth buying for these tracks alone, and the rest you can play for your kids if they wonder what the good stuff sounded like back in the 20th century.

Guest Ubik Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 I change my mind a little and now I prefer the slower tracks, like Sommeil Paradoxal, Breathing Ocean, Maï Maï and Spiritual Drops. And Maï Maï has become one of my all time favourite song : just listen to it and smile Beautiful Melody. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted December 25, 2000 Share Posted December 25, 2000 I love this, pure goa spirit. Old melodic elements and a nice production. This sounds old but in a good way. If you like oldstyle psytrance/goa and don't like minimal shaznat, buy this. ( it makes you go mental). It's also very dancable and contains some real melodic elements. THIS IS GOA 9.2/10. I can't name a bad track. Nuff said, listen for yourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AtomikElf Posted April 1, 2001 Share Posted April 1, 2001 from start to finish, it's a psychedelic journey....the whole structure of the cd reminds me most of x-dream: our own happiness. this is ofcourse very different, and truly psychedelic.....should be placed on your mantle piece. these guys are brilliant, putting together this masterpiece is unbelievable, it's so well rounded and encompasses so much. my favourite is track 3, then 4, then 5....this is the mayhem part of the cd...well not mayhem, but this is IT.....it's what u look for, and when it comes...hmm...just hang in there, u'll make it, hehe. 10/10.

Guest rx7style Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Such absolutely beautiful melodies. Jaia always brings a HUGE smile to my face. I don't think I've ever listened to a CD that is so uplifiting, and harmonious. A fantastic blend of ambient music, and trance. Every track is an absolute joy to hear. This album touched my soul - I've owned it for 2 years, and I still listen to it regularily. Absolutely beautiful album, buy it NOW! 11/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rx7style Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 I forgot to mention. After the Rain has to be one of the most beautiful tracks I have ever heard. You can't find sweeter melodies, or more soothing and relaxing sounds. This track is the essence of your soul. Jaia is truly one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. How does he dream up such beautiful sounds? I won't ever understand. He's been given a gift! PLEASE MAKE MORE JAIA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cosmic Brotherhood Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 hmm,well well well... Jaïa sounds much more New Age than Psy Trance to me. You know, the kind of comps you find in your regular recordstore to help you meditate, with nature sounds and the like. Nice, of course, but no trace of the insane distorted melodies which make me love Psy Trance. New Age Rating : 8/10 Psy Rating : 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danperso[at]swipnet[dot]se Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 This is the best CD I've ever heard. If u like Goa and especially the tribal and atmospherical goa. This is the record for you. My personal favourite is track 6, Mai Mai. Really good. I'm really looking forward to their new CD. Get it ASAP!!!//^Vidget^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
