mahoney Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 12 Moons - Northern Star / Blind Man's Vision Artist: 12 Moons Title: Northern Star / Blind Man's Vision Label: Dragonfly Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Northern Star 02. Blind Man's Vision Review: Michael Andersen, the guy behind 12 Moons, has released a loooot of stuff the past year. His project 12 Moons seems to be ranging between very beautiful/sunny morning trance and more dark and hard progressive trance. This release is off the sunny kind. "Norhtern Star" has a very loud, bright and short kickdrum and on top of that really warm and sunny repetive melodies and effects. It progressess with different layers of these warm elements and it ends up very beautiful and touching with some very bright choir-like sounding ingredients put on the top. The b-side ("Blind Man´s Vision") is in the same style as "Northern Star" but this one is not as touching and you can find much more groove and actually some funky elements in this one. Two very beautiful progressive tracks and very nice production I would say. The best atmospheric release from 12 Moons so far for me and it´s fun to hear that not all the releases from the Gothenburg area sounds a bit similiar. Take care!

Guest kzi Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 PROGRESSIVE isn't my kind of psychedelic music!... but this release is something else! maybe its just the "cream of the crap" but whatever heart was squeezed of its juice to produce this must have been rich in vitamins. northern star is a beautiful tune full of subtlety and works with skill to send you into a blissful trance... the flip is not as memorable but its nicely produced and perhaps with time i shall see its charm as well... havent heard anything from 12 moons that is nearly as good but its not so different from the rest... you know the thing with progressive is that sometimes everything CLICKS and there you have a masterpiece full of life and art and all the good things in the world... but most of the time what i hear sounds like experiments that should have been left in the slag heap... not this 12" tho, nosiree! big points, we have a winner! northern star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
