Pleiadians - Family Of Light

[Ormion]

I don't believe that most of the replies here don't add the Family Of Light track in the best of this album.

No offence guys but you need to clean your ears!

 

Family Of Light is the most intelligent, psychedelic and alien track ever made! And this goa melody...OMG!

2. Universe 13 C

Usually agree with you on everything but, here, I respectfully disagree. I think Universe 13 is a fantastic track. I see little details everywhere and the ambience is so alien that it makes me wonder where in the universe did the Pleiadians make this - Universe 13 perhaps?

Whatever is the case, its a very story-telling track.

 

I think this album is in the top tier what goatrance achieved in the 90's, up there with the other classics like Shakta - Silicon Trip, Hallucinogen - Twisted, Crop Circle - Tetrahedron and I.F.O. It's impossible to deny that. I think F.O.L. just got more crap than usually because it was the follow up of the most beloved album in the whole Goa-trance history and didn't completely live up to the hype/name because the style changed a little.

 

Edit: I need to add some of these basslines are so cool. They aren't typical hitting basslines, but dimm and dark that just make the atmosphere that much more darker. Moon In Your Window is just amazing here, the way it rolls and revs like an engine. So cool.

I don't like it. Although, tbh, Asterope is the only track from IFO that I still listen to. I guess the sound must be getting a bit dated.

 

Off topic: what is up with Jon Cocco's out-of-character comments in 2001? I guess it was more than 10 years ago...

[Penzoline]

Ahh this is Groovey.. Gruuvey... Groeuvy.. Grevy... Gravy. Yes Gravy. Graavy. Groovvvveeeeyy.

 

I'd dance the shit out of some of these tracks. Don't even care if the melodies took a backseat.

I like this album but disagree with the choice of the tracklist, Head Spin is full power and launches the album, Universe 13 just follows and is the quietest track of the album (Seven sisters excluded).

I would have liked better this way:

1.Universe 13

2.Modulation

3.Head Spin

for a progressive climax, then the rest. I don't care for Moon in your window and the vocal sample gets tiring (even worst in the 2015 IFO edition).

Favorite track: Modulation, maybe the most accomplished track produced by Pleiadians, and to me the most interesting.

Seven Sisters is great but I would do without the 4x4 kick part. Family of light is brilliant.

Universe 13 is not that bad but like I said, it would have been better if it was the opener of the album IMO.

[Trance2MoveU]

I'm sorry, but this is a very worthwhile follow up to IFO. It's goa through and through with Headspin, Modulation, and Moon In Your Window being my favorites. The only track I wasn't floored by was Universe 13 and even that wasn't as bad as people said. 

And Seven Sisters fools you into thinking you're in cool down mode with a gentle downtempo finish when out of nowhere the screeching acid leads tumble in like a glittery shower. Well done.

Just my two cents.

It's all right, too bad it's unlistenable due to the ear piercing tones. Sadly that's one of the main gripes with etnica/pl/cc. Good music but barely able to listen to it. 

One of my fav pl tracks is zeta reticuli but nearly impossible to enjoy cause that open hihats blasts your ears with piercing frequencies. 

If I were to do psilocybin therapy to that track all I could focus on was that katana blade of high frequency screech whenever the oh hits. 

 

I never understood why they completely obliterated their tracks like that. 

 

Astral, mfg, Simon etc did not. You can tune in to any of their albums without getting blasted in the ears by sharp spears.

Oh, plz do and give a report on it here  that would be highly interesting.

About the Album, I don't have any cents on it. Heard it once some many years ago and never returned

yes, i agree, i don´t find etnica/pl/cc unlistenable, far from it, but the production of a lot of their work is too harsh when you are in a psychedelic state, in another state it isn't a big issue because i like their work (until 2000) so much, and thank you for mentioning the katana's, my next trip is going to be a bad one 😁im going tot have the feeling that the music is going to chop my head of

 

talking about family of light, of course it's a disappointment after ifo because that album was so special and psychedelic, one of the true classics 

family of light has less quality songs, less psychedelic elements and les story telling

its still a good album, still much better than lot's of random goa trance albums, but not a classic

^ im thinking the reason might be in the title, family of LIGHT, that the 'open hihats blasts your ears with piercing frequencies' n' ''ear piercing tones.' & 'katana blade of high frequency screech' creates that LIGHT on a massive trip.. 🤪
