it is definitely the best cd they've produced. and i really enjoyed it,

although i don't listen to it that often anymore, when i did, i really enjoyed

the vividly panoramic landscapes it flew me by, and was pleasantly seduced by

the melting flowing softly driving psychedelic sounds that seemed to flush

thru me. 7/10 (with a smile on my face)

Review:

 

I really was attempting a lot from this album of California Sunshine because a

lot of people were saying Nasha was the best one they made.OK, it's probably

the truth, but it's not positive for them because their best isn't

excellent.Of course, it's nice goatrance, typically israeli, with high sounds

and clear melodies, but it's too classic.Nasha is enjoyable to listen to, but

nother more, it doesn' make me fly or trip like some others goa albums.Thus,

it's a medium album we have here, , and excepted if you are fond of israeli

goa, there are a lot of better albums to buy first.Best track Rain. 6.5/10

Not bad, not excellent either. This is some nice israeli trance, but the tracks

are too repetitive for me. I love Last Feeling, which really makes me fly :)

6.5/10

"Great album from California Sunshine, I'd say an amazing CD, probably the best

artists CD of 1998. The father of Goa (Har-Ell Prusky) is at work. My favorite

tracks are numbers 1,2,3,6 and 7.

"Last Feeling" and "Red line" are absolutely fabulous. They are (Israeli)

oriental tunes as I like them.

Rating : 7,5/10

You must get this cd! If you have heard the previous 2 cd:s with CS and didn't

like it, u gonna like this! This is the best album they have done so far. It

starts with

"Other Line" and that track is brilliant done. With some nice bass changing

sounds. Last Feeling is excellent and Never stop is the "big" experience

track, with very changing melodies and one of the coolest cd-riff I have ever

heard! This cd includes only well-producted melodies and every single track

has something special! This is a master piece.. 10/10

Am I the only one who's blown away by X-Wave? Those freaked-out alien cow

noises and the X-Dreamy bass-line [no surprise, it's Rough And Rush].

Otherwise there are some decent tracks and some filler. But if you don't have

X-Wave, Other Line and Last Feeling you'll want this record. And I hate every

other disc CS has ever produced with the white hot intensity of a thousand

suns.

This is California Sunshine's best effort and release. On this release they

have managed to succesfully meld the emotional melodies with the most

beautiful sounds. Every track is so beautifully done, and each succesive track

so coherent to the previous. It's hard to achieve such a Feat The beauty of

this album does not fade, I still find joy and elation when I listen to this

album almost 1 1/2 years later. Don't listen to the other 2 albums including

the latest one because they don't even come close the the majesty contained

within. A classic in the veins of Tandu, Chakra and Edi Mis, Indoor.

Well i think it's undoubtfully California Sunshine's best release and of the

best artists album to the year 1998 (They released a new CD not long ago

called Flying Eye-Land,actually i agree that this album is not what you call

"wicked" goa-trance , the only really wicked track here in no.4 X-Wave that

California Sunshine made together with the legendary X-Dream , There are some

very good cooperations here with some great names (The Muses Rapt-Juan ,

X-Dream , and Boris Blenn). But don't try to listen to this album as a

"wicked" goa-trance , listen to it as a beautiful psychedelic trance from two

great masters Har-Ell Prusky and DJ Miko that know what they are doing and

they do it very well , it's a very complex piece of work and it is very

pleasent to the ear , when i put this album on I listen to it as a something

between chill-out and wicked , in this way I consider it as a masterpiece

indeed. I really like all tracks but my favorites are no. 1,4,6 and the

amazing Rain which is the most beautiful emotional track i have ever heard!

this fabulous melody makes me wanne dance in the rain with a tear in my eye :).

This is the best CS album. Amazing melodies, full of emotions and absoloutely

worth the buy.'Rain' is the most beautiful track to end this cd with, and it

makes you want to wish this album will never end:) X-dream collaborated to

make a pure killer, and jajo will make you think of a crimson sky:) This is a

cornerstone for israeli trance and the real goa spirit!

CS have gotten a bad rap in the

past, but this is one amazing

album. Listening to it, you feel

like you're in the middle of an

action film, with beautiful

cinematography & special effects.

Maybe the storyline is a little

murky, but hey, that's half the

fun! :) Classic Israeli

cyber-trance. 9/10

Goa and feelings rarely mix together... this album is one of these rare

moments... I love all the songs, especially Jajo, but what does X-Wave have to

do with this album??? OK, so it's a collaboration with "masters" X-Dream, so

what? It's horrible! You have a good gabber-inspired synth line, but once you

hear it contantly for almost 9 minutes, it's just plane boring... But 8 out of

9 very good tracks is not that bad... Remains one of my top albums: 8/10

Extremely good album, maybe the best from the group.It is very hypnotic, as

usual with Har Ell...Some very good collaborations too on an album...but the

best ones remain their own...OTHER LINE ( One of the best on album, extremely

hypnotic and utopical ), LAST FEELING, JAJO, RED LINE, BORN AGAIN ( stunning

song, really primal ), RAIN ( great emotional piece with Boris Blenn )...So,

very good album...9/10

not a big california sunshine fan... but this is probably their best album.

it's darker in some places than i would expect. there are a few bad tracks,

some average tracks, and some good ones (1, 4, 5, 6). 7/10

Great album. Melodies and feelings are wrapped up in a great production. As someone stated this is not "wicked" music; it's rather quiet and peaceful, not something you need to blast the speakers with to feel anything. I really like all the tracks here.

 

9/10

I occasionally forget how strong this album is until I listen to it. The one super stand out song for me on this album is Born Again. The opening is great too. Just don't focus on the music so much, be open without thought and you'll better join that psychedelic vibration. It's very present and well composed in several of the tracks here. Other Line is wonderful. I've updated my short review above. This is my favorite album by California Sunshine aka Har-el. I hope he makes another and has Suntrip Records release it, assuming he can pull off a super new school Goa (with old school influence) album.

 

I'd love to hear more wonderful songs from this artist if that's at all possible. I was very interested to see he produced a track for the 2008 Sundrops compilation. :)

 

Update: His track on Sundrops is VERY interesting. I wonder if he still produces strong Goatrance. That would be :wub:

I think it is a magnificent piece of art!

 

in March 2008 i was in a party with Har-ell, Afgin, Sanman and Chakra, and har-ells set took me man years back.....

when he played "Other Line" Afgin and i were in a very deep Karahana!

 

after i vame home i have listened to this album every day during a month or so.. and now i can honestly say that my love to california sunshine had come to me again!

The melody in "Rain" from 3:27 to 5:14 is just :wub:

Also loving "Other Line".

 

Great album overall, but i can't seem to be able to find it.. anyone know how reliable israel-music.com is?

It's the only shop i could find it, but the release date is "2004" - is it a remastered version or just a reprint?
