mars Posted March 23, 2000 Share Posted March 23, 2000 Tarsis - Melt Artist: Tarsis Title: Melt Label: Global Trance Network Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 04'51" Brighter Than The Sun (Bullsrun Rmx) 02. 07'10" Interzone 03. 07'43" Zombi Cocktail 04. 05'33" Guilty 05. 06'51" Pure Energy 06. 06'00" Spacetrain 07. 04'45" Life (Instrumental) 08. 07'06" Deadly Deep Kickin 09. 08'15" Tomorrow 10. 05'37" Broken 11. 04'58" Mocean 12. 07'44" Melt (Vocal Edit) Review: On this album Tarsis provide us with an interesting approach: the first track had lyrics! There is also a good groove, a good bassline & rythm, guitar... This is an excellent intro. The next tracks are more usual, but each time, they remain cool. They keep in phase with the german style with the Tarsis touch, but there are always little cool arrangements & innovations that makes each track a good one. Uplifting tracks And calm tracks are alterned. this enables the listener to breathe..cool again. The last third of the album is really more atmospheric. The fast tracks always reflect an excellent expertise on rythmics. There are: - either long waves that puts tour mind on a good journey (02) - or buzzy sounds that makes you dance (05,08) - or repetitive samples And rythmic, that induce a kinda-tribal mood (03,06,09) The atmo-tracks (04,07,10,11,12) are really trippy, perfect for listening to them on the sofa. In fact the whole album has been prevented grom being overloaded with all sorts of sounds: the style is clear And intelligent. Eventually, it seems that Tarsis have reached their own style - not really psytrance-, but I easily imagine the killer session it would be in a live performance!! My favourites: 1,3,5,8,10. Mark: 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted March 26, 2000 Share Posted March 26, 2000 Ehh. I didn't like this one nearly as much as Vacuum. Since I very much still enjoy Vacuum [esp. Atomic Children], I really tried to get into this one too. Can't seem to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Infected Max Posted March 29, 2000 Share Posted March 29, 2000 Track 8 is my favourite...100% party track , lots of layers. Big work on rythms... In one word...The track worth the album 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tb[at]biogate[dot]com Posted April 2, 2000 Share Posted April 2, 2000 I can only find two songs very interesting - no 5 and 8. They are really worth the whole album. Great party music. (The first track is one of the worst I've heard, lyrics and progressive trance doesn't fit together at all!) - TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest raveblade[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted April 5, 2000 Share Posted April 5, 2000 Hum, I was a bit disappointed by this album, I only like 4 tracks...5-6-8-9. After the releases 'Into the Static' on Chaishop comp., 'Millenium' on Pulse 8 and the one on Vibrations 2, I was expecting more energy from them. Too many boring tracks with slow bpm!

Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com Posted April 7, 2000 Share Posted April 7, 2000 Damn, i really enjoyed this CD, much more than vacuum, vacuum was way more boring, this CD actually has melodies in it, the vocals on the first track dont work at all, but the last track is an excellent ambient track to say the least, i enjoyed this one, 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ovegrov Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 Pretty good album, I found a whole new side of it when listening to it at home than in the store. Good tracks are 5,8,9,10,11. The rest is pretty good. Track nr. 1 is very strange with vocals and stuff, not really my style. Tooo much talking in the track according to me. I'll give it a 8/10.

Guest Ehsanur Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 What ya guys screaming about? This is music for body And soul. Ok,some times they tend to become a tiny spiny niny little bit monotone,but otherwise I reckon them to be more innovative and professional in the making of tomorrows psychedelic trance than other "not so green" men from this globe (like Man With No Name,Mystica and the rest of that crap ). I will give it 8/10,there is peace in my soul ;- ) Bom Shankar Ehsantrium..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tarsis wa sayaku desu neeeeeee? Posted October 14, 2000 Share Posted October 14, 2000 OK. I read these reviews and they sounded pretty good, so i got the album. Then I listned to the first track, heard both gituar AND lyrics, and tossed this shit out my window. Sorry, but Tarsis gets no second chances from me after pulling that shit.

Guest aricz Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 never really got into this album, maybe i should listen to it much more. anyway, found two tracks i liked, 'spacetrain' and 'tomorrow'. 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest liveafterdeath[at]hotmail[dot]co Posted November 16, 2000 Share Posted November 16, 2000 This album is up and down... 3,5,7,8 up, and the rest no go. And to the person calling themselves "Tarsis wa sayaku desu neeeeeee?"... sounds like your english must be slowly evolving; the first review mentions the vocals and guitar in track one... hmmm x2.

Guest njanja99[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 I like the album a lot... It's differnet in styles, not a boring, standard type of an album which are produced these days... 7 "dance" songs and one ambient. This one has something for all kinds of listeners. But, everyone likes something else. My recommendation is: Buy it... Don't listen is just once, or even just parts of it, but listen it on your own for a while, and you'll certanly like it.

Guest Per Sterud Posted January 23, 2001 Share Posted January 23, 2001 One of the best albums of 2000. Tarsis has really spun a diverse web of styles with Melt. The Psy tracks are fast and hard-hitting. The ambient tracks are surprisingly smart and musical - some of it even reminds me more of Warp than NovaTekk. Track one is regrettably poor and misplaced, though I must give them credit for trying something new. There's really a feeling for artistry, and even narrative, that is missing on a lot of albums these days. It's certainly a leap from Vacuum. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cnt97 Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 No innovation just boring... Sorry Tarsis, other stuff by Tarsis Ive heard was MUCH better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spineless Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 Hey,kiddies-isn't it a joke?That's a perfect album with a great atmosphere.The tracks are not repetitive but remain interesting from the beginning till end.Tarsis provide us with a different approaches to the psychedelic music and their experiment works.I will mention that the exquisitly excellent ambient track "Mocean" is a pure gem.One of the greatest tracks I've heard in my life.Great work,Sebastian&Linnus.Go on!!!!My opinion:9/10.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Repetitive and No Innovation. Need much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The dank man Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Very spacey!! and very, very good. Great talent; perhaps, a bit experimental on several tracks, but hey -- nothing wrong with that (pushing the limits, ;-) :-) What kind of drugs is this guy on, and if so, should I try them?! A great philosophical question.... Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest God Money I Did Everything 4 you Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 First one is pure shit, second kicks ass, next one is too long, then comes a chill out track and next one`s pretty cool and track 8 kicks ass again, but overall this was a waste of money. I thought that tarsis would be atleast same as it was in Vacuum, but Fuck You guys, hope someone burn your machines. You`re like a Rednex did one hit and then you gone.
