Ghostwalk Review: This album unfolds another chapter in Jens Paulsen's tale.The walls of sound he created are incredible.With every album his style becomes more complex and intelligent.So,"Diorama" can't be defined as a psychedelic album-because it is a blend of drum'n bass,trip hop,house and experimental ambient with psychedelic touch.The landscapes in every track are really beautiful but a bit melancholic.So,listen to this album and you will feel the frost of the big bad city.I can't say which tracks are good because they are all very unique and the sound picture is different.But my favourites are "Drum'n Glass","Out Of Tunes","Prefade Rmx" and "Q-Faktor".Jens,you're a genius!I'm unable to think about my life without your music.9.5/10 I'm awaiting for the next masterpiece!

Guest ir0nm0nk3y Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 I had not heard of Patchwork before I bought this album. I bought it entirely based on the label Spirit Zone and yet again, they do not disappoint. This is definitely more ambient than psychedelic but, its so nice. Btw, Freak51, if you're reading this, please go give your reviews to everything on this board that you haven't already. You and I appear to have the same taste in psytrance/psytechno/technotrance. I need to know what else I should buy. This one gets 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak51 Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 This is another excellent cross-over chill-out album. Influences here range far and wide, he even incorporates some cheesy old-euro-trance stuff and manages to make it greasy-good, like musical fish & chips. It takes several spins to grok all the details on this record, but because of all the influences, there's almost guaranteed to be a track on here you can work into any point in a chill-out/post-everything kind of set. It works well as a whole album, too, if you're feeling lazy. I still prefer Marsmellow, but in a few months I may change my mind. 9/10.
