Review:

 

CD 1 is not good, CD 2 is awesome!!!!! Good songs on CD 1 are 1,5&9, the rest

is bad!! CD2... Well, it starts with a great psychedelic song and than it

continous with the best song of SUN-Project ever made... Wonderful how they

use guitars in their music!!

Chi-ad. Show's us heaven and after that we have some WONDERFUL Israeli

Goa-Trance... Song 6 is "something weird..." and there's more flowding

Psy-Trance by D5!!! Song 8 is the only song on this CD that is not awesome!!!

and this magical trip finishes with a good Ambient song... Bom Shankar

As I (almost) always review these compilations track by track, I'll do that

here too. CD1 starts with a GREAT track by Atmos, it was the first time for me

to ever hear Atmos and i had to get used to his style. But after a couple of

listens, I knew Atmos was great. (And he still is). Next up is Nucleus with a

good storming (a bit old style) track. Next up is COP with one of their most

melodic songs. Pretty good, although Bloodsuckers and El Nino are better

tracks IMO. Bumbling Loons deliver a quality track here, which is really good.

Not full On, but still quite uplifting. Etnica delivers a stomping track, with

(again) lots of samples from Star Trek. Phoetus is Tarsis and as such produce

a real pounding hard track full of energy. Klangstrahler Project chills us

down with Deep Thought, which is great for chilling out. Slap is SUN Project

and retains their funky style. Quite good, although not very Goa like. Then

SSO comes up with one of their best songs ever. Washington. Love the samples

in this one and the great groove. On to CD2, which starts really dark with

Astronomikx. SUN Project comes up, funky and with guitars. A great track. Chi

a.d. shows his harsher side here which is not bad, although he's far better at

making atmospheric goa. (Moonart And Exit Eternity for example) Power Source

produce a good remix of a classic track of theirs, although the original is

still a little better. Astral Projection delivers a dark version of Mahadeva

here. (Pretty good, although mix 22 of Mahadeva doesn't interest me very much)

Tim Schuldt Vs Spacecat rules bigtime!! Great. Dimension 5 continue their

usual style. A bit like old style goa, and it's great! Sonic Fusion is more

like techno, although this track is pretty good IMO. You have to 'learn' to

listen to this kind of music. Gabriel Le Mar rounds this comp. off in style

with a great ambient song. Overall, 8,5 from me. A great compilation.

Ummm, these volumes start to go downhill from this volume...this time is even less melodic than before and there are many fillers added, just for sake of as i see, but beside that, there are still some gems : CD 1 : KLEIN ABER DOCTOR, DARK HORSE, FAIRY IN THE DRAGONFOREST, RUMBLING TOON, RESISTANCE...6.5/10 and CD 2 : CELESTIAL, GRANADA RMX, MAHADEVA RMX, SOMETHING WEIRD, LIMITLESS DIMENSION...7.5/10
