Guest Deku81 Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 X-Dream - Radio Artist: X-Dream Title: Radio Label: Blue Room Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 09'52" Radio 02. 09'27" Freak 03. 08'33" Electromagnetic 04. 09'25" Telegram 05. 07'59" The Frog 06. 08'00" Psychomachine 07. 10'08" Oscillator 08. 07'58" Out Of Your Control Review: Things are moving so fast in my head that I'm starting to edit like a telegram!!! This is so good!!!!!!!!! Dark, hard stuff with that little extra twist. All tracks are absolutely awesome. From the first minute of 'Radio' to the last minute of 'Out of your control' this album's got you. When it was released back in 98 it set a new standard of trance that many artists try to copy in these days, but so far I can't think of anyone that reached all the way to this high quality dark trance. Maybe it's hard to get your hands on this one, but if you find it anywhere you have no choice but to buy it!!!! X-Dream crew are gods!!!!

Guest dlokerd[at]netscape[dot]net Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 Agreed, fellow xdreamer. This album is a true and different masterpiece from the dude. All deep and dark and twisted, stomping proper dancing trance, blissful to hear at the parties, just so at home just chilling . Has a dark acid edge on top of a tripping travelling upper edge, the best combination of the two that i have heard in years. If ya see it, beg borrow or steal to make a way to buy it, you will get a lifetime of memories and travelling from this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pit-UFO Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 An instant classic. I´m sure in 30 years my children will still be amazed by the quality and powerfull music from Jan And Marcus 90% of the tracks they create are excellent, imaginative and hypnotic. GOOD JOB.

Guest Tequila Posted February 23, 2000 Share Posted February 23, 2000 I found this album really disappointing.OK, the sounds are original and the tracks are rich but i still can't hear the melodies of this album...wherre are they?For me, Radio is just a lot of beautiful sounds with no link beetwen them 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oxygener[at]home[dot]se Posted February 25, 2000 Share Posted February 25, 2000 Masterpiece! Top 5 psychedelic Album ever. Dancable and very listenable!.. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rough and Rush Posted February 27, 2000 Share Posted February 27, 2000 I know why X=Dream have failed to release anything to date is because that they are probably having problems making something comparable in quality to this. I think to this very day no other artist/s have made quite a song like telegram for sheer intensity and general arse-kicking sounds.I do look forward to any new releases by the masters.

The sounds the hard drums everything is just great. radio, telegram, psychomachine and out of your control are my favourites, out of your control is a slow and very nice track love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted March 27, 2000 Share Posted March 27, 2000 Yummmmmmmmmmm. Was reading somewhere else that some guy had loosened the bolts of his ski rack by playing this cd in his car. Not lightweight, not for the faint of heart. Very bassy but if you must play in the Dark, this is the disc. Oh yeah, sounds way better over a big system: not for the computer / sound card / headphone combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest X - Dreamer in NYC Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 This album is truly one of the best ever and I don't know if they can top this. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cnt97 Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Top 10 album ANY genre! A MUST HAVE! 9.8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted May 13, 2000 Share Posted May 13, 2000 I just saw these guys live in Toronto, eat your heart out. "Holy living fuck!" is all I've been able to say for the last 2 days. Not good for the Mother's Day phone call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GlobalSteez Posted May 14, 2000 Share Posted May 14, 2000 I should have really reviewed this album sooner as it has to be an obvious contender for being the best psy-tech-trance album of all time. The energy and power in it at times is just incredible to behold. Starting with one of the best intros ever taking you dragging And screaming into its' opening tune - 'Radio' through to superb pulsating, timeless classics like 'The Frog' And 'Telegram' untill finally, releasing its' grip with the suitably named 'Out Of Your Control' outro. How the fuck do they do it? Who cares? Just keep doing on doing it!! This album will have your mind rattling off whilst your feet try to catch up with it...and they will!!! How on earth they are going to top this effort, God only knows... 10/10 Hurry up and release the sequel please!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Sage Posted May 26, 2000 Share Posted May 26, 2000 Minimalistic Psytrance (almost Techno) with juicy, fat bass lines and many nice electronic sounds... I tend to like it more and more every time I listen to it. In the beginning, I really hated it, but after a while I started to like it. "Psychomachine" is the best track, but "Radio", "Electromagnetic", "Telegram" and "Out Of Your Control" are cool too... I've even started to like the monotonous track "The Frog"!?! Great innovations and a pure energy package (not many melodies, though)! A record well worth buying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeffe[at]freesurf[dot]fr Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 Mindblowing !!!! This record is a hit : you MUST have it !!! Hard to find but so good ...Electromagnetic is so great ! You also must see those guys live !! I've saw them twice...only good memories Slow/dark psychedelic music! 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest damoneves[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted July 18, 2000 Share Posted July 18, 2000 I've listened to this album 1000 times since i bought it and still manage to hear new sounds each time. I heard x-dream live in 99 at Rainbow Serpent Fest in Aust...i'm still f...ng mumbling top 5 albums ever 9.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Children Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 Pretty good album ! But not as good as "We Created Our Own Happiness" in my opinion ... someone said above it was minimalist stuff ... certainly NOT !!! That's less melodious than their 2 previous CDs, but very psychedelic And various ! Best Tracks are Tracks 1 And particularly 7, and I don't think there's any Bad Track (hum maybe Tracks 5&8 which are quite monotonous)... funny thing in this album : each transition between Tracks sounds like if you were searching for a new radio channel by scanning the frequencies on your radio :-) Rating : 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dead74 Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Okay, I would have to say that this is my favorite trance album of all time. I can't say it's the best, but I've just had so many crazy and real experiences with this album...Evolution! First, the concept of this album is so on point. It's set up like a radio where each track is a different radio-station. It doesn't end there, though. It tells the listner that our minds are like a radio and we're tuning into different frequencies! Pretty far-out, eh? Their sound is fast...so fast that it's almost out of control! oh, and the kicks? soooo sick. They just slap your face with their beats! The entire album flows really well and there are no bad tracks, but if I were to pick the essentials, it would be "radio," freak," "psychomachine," and the ultimate "telegram." "telegram" is not even that sick of a track if you just paid attention to the beats and the melody, but that sample.."things are moving so fast in my head...it's starting to edit like a telegram" is soooo sick!!! I give this 9.5/10 to be fair, but it's really my favorite trance album to this day. Mad profs to X-dream for this amazing album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest psytrancer Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 X-dream have really succide making goa psy trance without melodies. It´s dark and hard, and at the same time beautiful... 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexG Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 one of the best albums of all time! probably the best quality of production ever in trance; and it's so beautiful! "telegram" and "psychomachine" are my favorites, but i love them all (except "the frog" maybe). i saw them live last weekend (for the 2nd time). first time i saw them (last summer), they really blew my mind. this time it was also pretty good, and of course all the classic tracks rocked, but the new stuff (yea, they made lots of new tracks) sounded way too minimal. reminded me of Three Point Turn, but with an x-dream twist. it was like they forgot to bring their synthesizers =) sadly, i was not very impressed. hopefully they'll have a new cd out soon, so i can listen better. but this album gets a scale-topping 9.8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cnt97 Posted October 12, 2000 Share Posted October 12, 2000 If you don't love this album you should STOP listening to "goatrance"... because this is the most beautiful album ever released.... SO FUCKING NICE PRODUCTION that you want to rip your heart out... I mean.. everything else is boring compared to this.... AWESOME. I mean... If you're making music yourself... you certainly want to kill yourself after hearing this album. You will never be as good as this.. .. geeesus. The production is WONDERFUL, intense sound but also relaxed... 10/10. This is THE perfect album. Melodic but still very monotonous, PERFECT trance. If you dont like this album, then your probably a moron who cant understand good production and quality.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slinker Posted November 8, 2000 Share Posted November 8, 2000 Fat bass lines ..beautiful squelchy noises spiralling into a glorious landscape of technical bliss, every track is unique in its own sense...definately sets the standard for the highest quality of psy-tech-trance you could imagine..tune in and trip out!!! 10/10 that telegram track is a fuc*ing stormer =^,^= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tequila Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 I definitly love this album.yeah, it took me a certain time, but now, it's truely one of my favorites in my collection.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
