Review:

 

This album is different from the ordinary psy trance album. At first I

didn't like it all but now I have listened to it

many times and I find it very good. This is the third album from the german

guy Daniel Vernunft (I think it's the third), and

it's different from Spicey Moments, but it's the same sound as Positive. It

has even got the same samples on some songs.

All the tracks reaches from 137 to 143 BPM except the last two tracks that

are more ambient style. I was in Copenhagen once when

Shiva Chandra played live but that was not a great experience. He played

almost every track from this album so I noticed

that the songs are not very enjoyable on the dancefloor. Maybe at the start

of a party but not in the middle of it. If you

liked Positive I think you should listen to this album. Best songs are

Cotani, Reorganic, @-om and Electric Blue.

Sky diving is a nice ending that's great for chill-out.

Damn, this album is actually stunning! Definitely not the usual psytrance

sound, but after some listening this is one trippy experience!! And I have to

mention the last two dub/chill-out tracks, they really stand out. They're just

fucking excellent. Damn I was blown away by those two tracks. If you're

looking for something a little different, then get this NOW!!!

This is the higher state of Daniel's works.There is not a bad song inside the

album.Mathematically programmed beats and sounds,hidden melodies and other

mellow tunes -I think that "Lunaspice" is almost perfect!I can even say that

D.Vernuft is one of the most Intelligent music producers I have ever listened

to.Among my favorite tracks are:"Cotani"(quite a good

sample),"Reorganic"(funny vox),"@-om"(super melody coming

suddenly),"Animalectro"(that's a fine exemple of electro) and the

others.Listen to it and get in Eden.For this is a psychedelic lesson!

I've just bought the vinyl version of this cd. The cover is EVEN cooler than

the one on the cd, but the cd contains more tracks. The (double) LP only have

6 tracks, but is still rocks!!

 

PSYCHEDELICATESSEN! :o)))

I have buy this Cd without knowing Shiva Chandra. Now, I really love this

artist. If you like mutant sounds that come from nowhere in the middle of a

trax, you will love it.

One of the best covers but not that rich album though...I expected more hearing

couple of songs from SPICY MOMENTS that were that, spicy and juicy and

liquidy...This is more progressive with some very good psychedelic moments but

all in all not that interesting unfortunately...Best moments : 1,8,9...5.5/10

one of the fattest, most pounding psychedelic wonders avaliable! Only problem

is he has lost his way - the live performance I witnessed early this year

(2002) sounded like a totally different artist - very boring :(

shiva chandra is one of those artists that seems to constantly evolve. each cd

gets closer to the refined, atmospheric pounding minimal sound. however, this

isn't close enough to it yet to be very good, although it's getting there. the

psychedelic sounds are generally boring and repetitive, and the beats usually

aren't hard enough to interest me. best tracks are 3, 6, and 7, and the only

bad track is 2. 7/10
