mars Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 This was considered as very psychedelic trance 3 years ago..now it sounds too melodic and oldschool. Moreover it's really not the best from Asia2001 and it doesnt deserve the mark i can see above. In 1997 it would have deserved 6.5/10...now...

Guest chu42f[at]bangor[dot]ac[dot]uk Posted November 9, 2000 Share Posted November 9, 2000 Asia 2001 - Psykadelia Artist: Asia 2001 Title: Psykadelia Label: Trans'Pact Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 07'22" Anafuzz 02. 07'28" Orion (Rmx) 03. 08'12" Eolis (Rmx) 04. 07'29" Kalimba 05. 08'00" Replicants 06. 07'23" Sherkan (Rmx) 07. 08'15" Reykajvik 08. 09'02" Flirt Filter Review: Another incredible album by Martin Cooper.In a similar vein to his other releases but this contains some of his best tunes. The remix of orion is as good as the original mix featured on Dreamland. Eolis is fantastic as is Sherkan. If you can find it- get it (unless you don't like his other releases). Lets hope there are plenty more tunes to come from this guy as they will all find a place in my cd collection 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 This is good Asia 2001 album. It is his most psychedelic one as the title suggests...Martin Cooper makes pretty solid psy goa trance and even many people dislike it for being over melodic, I like it cause it is done with the spirit...Best tracks : ORION RMX, KALIMBA, REPLICANTS, REYKYAVIK, FLIRT FILTER...7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeredelic Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I don't do many reviews but I wanted to do one of this ablum because in my opinion Psykadelia, along with Live, showcase the best of Asia 2001. Psykadelia truely is a great album with the utterly fantasitc track Flirt Fliter, so good every time and my personal favorite Asia 2001 track off any of their albums. Other good tracks are numbers: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7. I personally thought track 2 (Orion 2) was awful and track 4 wasn't bad, but forgettable. Overall though, Psykadelia is an excellent artist album and has quickly become a treasured member of my cd collection; especially because of the Flirt Filter track once again, just find this album and enjoy. 9/10 overall and a five star for Flirt Filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qa2pir Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Unbeliavably creative and visual, especially compared with the two other albums i've heard (strange world and amazon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazard Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Its good Asia 2001. I love track Orion 2 - very powerfull goa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopie Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Take Kalimba, which is really good (the only track where Asia 2001 lives up to his potential), aside, the rest of the album sounds dated. Can't agree with the cult status this album has achieved - and to continue, would only recommend this if you enjoy collecting old school and have the big classics already.

sneila Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I agree that Flirt Filter is his best track, but Live is his best album. They're both about equally as rare. Orion 2 really sucks. The other tracks are all good. The production here is fine and it doesn't sound dated at all really, other than maybe the types of synths used.

Trance2MoveU Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 This is a kick ass old school goa trance album. While I don't think the album itself is dated I will agree with Sneila that the sounds he uses may be. Blistering in places and bubbling over with 303 liquid in others. I don't believe there are any epic melodies that make the tracks exceptional, but just good straight ahead goa. If I could find a copy of this I would buy it in a second.

Celaripo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 actually some tracks are very good - that being said there are also fillers but i guess it is good enough to be worth a buy since it was released again recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Reviews of the re-release: https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/70333-asia2001-psykadelia/ Excellent album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I remember the first time I listened to this album, at Lyon airport before taking a very long flight to Australia, the situation is great memories (yeah never listened to anything from Asia 2001 before year 2011) I was stunned by the first tracks and how good and old school it sounded. That being said, this album does not really stand the test of time for me. Every time I play it, I enjoy the first three tracks a lot, then comes Kalimba , I was a big fan of this track and grew tired of it. And after Kalimba, there are 4 tracks that sounds more or less the same. This album lose its magic after track 4 IMO. I should try playing it backward some day to see.
