Review:

 

My first reaction when I heard that Talamasca was about to release a 12"

on Spiral Trax was that something had to be very wrong. I´ve never heard

Anti play such music before even though it was pretty long since I´ve

heard him dj the last time. Talamasca on Spiral Trax??? That could not

be true? Why would Anti release such music on his label? I don´t

understand this, but I can tell you that if I had my own label and had

the chance to release these two tracks... well... I wouldn´t have to

think for too long before I changed my labelprofile a bit. These two

tracks are the best work Talamasca has made so far in my opinion, even

better than "Drops Of Madness" from his album "Beyond The Mask"

(3D-Vision). "Magnetic Fields" (9/10)... hmm... it´s friday (when I´m

writing this!) and the weekend begins. I´ve noooooooooo problems at all

to use this track to get into some real partymood even though I´m alone.

Soon the neighbours will join me stompin´ and screamin´ , Ha ha!, I´ll

promise you that ;-) "Magnetic Fields" isn´t anything we´ve never heard

before but it´s quality partymusic! If you enjoy the sound of 3D-Vision

and Moon Spirits you´ll then love this. 150 bpm = partymusic! I just

listened to his album to be able to compare it with this ep, and these

two tracks are so much better. "Vacation Time" (8/10) is another

up-tempo partyfriendly track with some cool voicesamples just as

"Magnetic Fields". You all know about 3D-Vision right? So I don´t have

to get into details, do I? If you´re into energetic partymusic like the

kind released on 3D-Vision and Moon Spirits... what are you waiting for?

If you don´t allready own a lot of releases sounding in this fashion

you´ll think it´s great. As I said, this isn´t anything new but it´s

still really good, and I enjoy it even though I own most releases from

both 3D-Vision and Moon Spirits.

Talamasca is without any doubt the best artist so far in this 2001 psychedelic

year. Genetic monster, come on and tribalistic had drop to madness and make

dance more goa heads than any other tracks in all the parties over the world.

The psychedelic trance scene, like any other genre of music, need some big

personality (in terms of music), that could take the scene and make it more

listenable. Since that simon posford has put his brain and talent in other

good, but very diferent music this empty in the scene could been taken now by

many good new artists. It´s time to make changes and reinvent in some of the

must unbreakable and untoucable rules of psychedelic trance (and i´m not

talking about anything of the minimal crappy sound). Talamasca has now the

oportunity to make that the emptyness and no sense of this year in trance

could lead us to something new and good. im not saying that he is the new guru

of this music, he has many way of the road to walk, but im trying to say that

he (like others like cristof or ari) knows what does people want to listen in

a party and that is all about, the parties. 9/10.

Vacation Time very good one! Magnetic Fields lacks of sounds and is more to

Spiral traxx way of writing traxx!

10/10 for VACATION 2/10 for Magnetic

*Sighs* I tried to like this ep, I REALLY did. If it was anyone else but

Talamasca I would probably say the A side is ok, the b side doesn't really go

anywhere...but it is Talamasca and I was expecting more. When the melody

kicks in on Magnetic Fields the song really takes off and there is a good

twist to the song halfway through. I haven't heard this on a loud system but

I have to say I'm a little disappointed. 5/10.
