Guest skincom[at]mullum[dot]com[dot]au Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 SUN Project - Paranormal Artist: SUN Project Title: Paranormal Label: Nova Tekk Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 08'39" Computer Breath 02. 07'41" Luna 03. 07'58" Out Of My Brain 04. 08'07" That's A Trap 05. 08'21" Under Control 06. 07'42" Simplicity 07. 07'35" Paranormal 08. 07'14" Chaachoolka 09. 07'29" T8 10. 08'31" Solitude Review: The 4th release from SUN Project the metal group turned trance.The cd begins with a track also available on Goa Head 10 Computer Breath.This theme continues until the middle of the cd by which time the guitar samples arrive and the tone of the release changes. I can,t help thinking that the guitars seem out of place at times as this style is better left to Cubinate or kmfdm type outfits but having said that its still ok as they dont contiue through out the whole cd.Not as dark as say the Delta or Spirallinz but cool , good builds and some nice sounds. Computer Raider aider aider aider. Cheers :-) Richard from Syikom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricky D formerly X-Dreamer in NY Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 Not as good as the last album but it is not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goa_2000[at]mail[dot]ru Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 I think it's differ than SUN's first albums, but it's still very good. This album is more psy than Zwork or Drosophila. My favourite trak is "Luna". 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tristan from goa Posted August 14, 2000 Share Posted August 14, 2000 i`d say, too clubby sometimes, too monotone sometimes and those guitars really come anything but pleasing.. guys come on.. hook yourselves up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest the_chair81[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 i think this are the best album Sun project have done... They have another style on this album and it sounds very good... good work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexG Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 out of 4 sun albums i like this one and "macrophage" the best. in my opinion, this is better than "zwork", and i don't really like the early goa style of "drosophilia". so, with a nice mixture of hard-bassline-driven and guitar-driven tracks, this gets a strong 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexG Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 btw, i recently saw these guys live here in san francisco, and i can say they rock the house! and (surprise!) they actually do really play live! the guitar player was working great with the crowd and doing amazing solos, they had a real drum set which the drummer was using, and the third guy was playing along on the keys. you could even hear the bassline drift off-beat a little bit sometimes, but i'd take that over dat's And effects (which is what most acts do) any day! keep on rocking guys!

Guest HHund[at]gmx[dot]de Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Computer Breath has the coolest sample ever. COMPUTER< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest astral universe Posted October 11, 2000 Share Posted October 11, 2000 Great album from s.u.n project. best in my oppinion. "That's a trap" is really awesome. mmmmmm, 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikrozomme[at]bgvirtual[dot]zzn[ Posted October 15, 2000 Share Posted October 15, 2000 When I heard the album for first time I said-what a shit it is.But the next listening I said-fucking great!The best track is "That's A Trap"-exclusive samples and great atmosphere.There is one bad track and this is "T8".But I think this album is worth buying,although I like the "Macrophage" style even more with brilliant tracks like "space Dwarfs".Ah,the last track is pretty good ambient.so I give it 8/10.

Guest jacues_thiart[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted October 24, 2000 Share Posted October 24, 2000 9/10 I really like their stuff especially track 2(luna)and7(paranormal)its a morning-time rocker!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aricz Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 nice album, i like this better than the other three albums they've released. a whole new sound, though some of the tracks still have the guitar. "that's a trap" is a real killer followed tightly by 'computer breath'. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Per Sterud Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 You know how you sort of get attached to a band's earlier albums before the new ones come out? Like I.F.O. for instance? Same thing here. Some really good tracks, with clear signs of innovation, except I thought Macrophage had much more energy and a sense of enthusiasm and adventure than either Zwork or Paranormal. But again, there are some seriously good tracks here. Computer Breath is one of the best ever - great intensity, build-up, and very sexy sampling. That's a Trap is full-on Psy. I don't know why they chose the mix of T8 they did, but the original mix is superior and should have made it to the album. The last track, Solitude, is a great ambient track - normally I find Psy-Trance acts don't quite know how to do ambient well because they tend to use the same aggressive sounds only with a slower tempo, which generally doesn't work, speaking for myself of course - but this one is functional, again with sexy sampling. Whereas I'd rate Macrophage a 9.5/10, I'd rate Paranormal somewhere between 7.5 and 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Great Album... Am freshly back from GOA itself... I heard a lot of their tracks in GOA this year.. I must say i am very impressed :-).. full on power tracks from the germans.. i even loved the guitar samples.. tracks 1,3, 7 and 4 are my favorites.. in my humble opinion the best by sun project album so far... just put on 'out of my brain' (track 3) and you'll know what i am talking about,,, 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kikbert Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 I think this Album is a little bit better than Macrophage which was my 1st Goa Tape. ´Out of my brain´ and T8 kick ASS. 8,510 ´cause the guitars are too often and too monotone.

Guest ZARAKNON Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Paranormal is my first S.U.N. Project album but I have also some of their older tracks, so I must say that in this one there is less 'Psy' than in the other albums, though this is not minimalistic. Nevertheless it is still very uplifting, even if it sounds somewhat stupid and banging in some places. The old rock band spirit is still there, so if you don't mind that and want some wicked rocking stuff that just smashes the dancefloor, you can't do wrong with buying this. I like especially Out Of My Brain, the ultimate guitar burner in here. Oh yes, Solitude is also a pretty good closing chill track. For the whole thing: 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GoBliN Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 I think it's a great album of sun project. out of my brain , paranormal are awesome tracks. i was in a SUN project live yesterday and they played a couple of tracks of that album. these crazy guys came to the stage in Alien suits and started to make their thing. it was fucken amazing , 10000 ppl were driven crazy in the Independence party in Beer-sheva in the south of israel. you could feel the energies in the air. these guys gave a very good preformance with guitar melodys. i think that was my best live act so far....!!!!

Guest rx7style Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 This album is bad. It's not goot technically, and at most I can MAYBE count 6-8 layers of sound. Usually it's less. This album is boring, lacks musicality, and sounds just a little TOO weird sometimes. Not worth the listen if you ask me. SUN Project is FANTASTIC live though... don't know what happened. 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 The least of all their CD's in my opinion... Only Out Of My Brain is a really great son, the rest isn't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest minit55[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Luna is so great and computer breath, out if my brain. I saw them live in copenhagen and i mean LIVE.....really cool experince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
