Review:

 

Long awaited 2nd new album from B.Blenn aka Galaxy And Electric Universe.

The stuff on this Cd is not so fresh, some of these tracks were written

2 years ago, even more. I thought that'll be chill out album, but not

only. "Solar Synthesis" contains also classic trance tracks. "Higher

Frequency" very good track, nice chilli electro melody, sounds like a

long intro. "Golden Crown" experimental one, nice melody in the

background And very fast broken rythm. "Liquid Sky" also breakbeated, with

samples similar to these from "Meteor". "Dreamland" first trance tracks,

sounds like electric universe stuff, light And with Ibiza sounds

influences.

Also "The Island" (this track is known from the album EU "Waves").

"Connected" also very good trancy piece of work. "Freezer" is rather

minimalistic

breakbistic one , very interesting. "Lowen Im Regeu" electro mad one.

"Big Blue" - great, really great downtempo track. "Fragment" this one is

lite

ambient music from Ibiza nights.

Blenn is known that he can create great tracks with original melodies,

also

this time he doesn't disapoint us. I think "Angel" was a little better,

but

"Solar Synthesis" is also good quality stuff. I recomend. It's original.

8/10

Hum ? Average album (I precise I don?t have the first Galaxy album, so I?m

discovering the style) ? it should be a peaceful album, but I think the

samples used, drums And some melodies are too agressive ? Track 4, much more

psychedelic than 3 first Tracks, is pretty cool ? Track 5 is interesting too ?

a good psychedelic Track with peaceful melodies ? maybe the best here with

Track 4 ? Track 6 is sometimes psychedelic, sometimes more peaceful ? pretty

interesting Track ? Track 9 is more Blue Planet Corporation oriented in some

of its sounds ? but not peaceful enough to make you relax ? Track 10 is much

too short ? other Tracks not mentionned are reallynot outstanding in my

opinion ? in conclusion we don?t know what?s the aim of this album : make you

relax or make you dance ? Really don?t know ? too psychedelic to make you

relax, not enough psychedelic to make you dane ? sounds professional, but I

don?t think I?ll listen to it often in the future ? I was waiting for more

from a Boris Blenn album ? Rating : 4.5/10

Pretty BAD release from the master....I wasn't expecting this at all...Housey,

funky and totally IBIZA is definetely not my style, especially in trance and

ambient...pretty boring structures and extremely dull songs...Only few that

are worth of some attention : DREAMLAND AND CONNECTED....

4/10

Hmmm... first of let me explain how this album works and what makes it so

great. Its essentially a heavily based trance album. It has very long cyber

melodies which are layered on top of nice drum sets (not your standard 4/4 and

nothing else). Its very relaxing and spacey and at the same time its got a

life in it when you listen to the beats. There is no funk in it; as a matter

of fact its a clear definition of what trance is. There are no complex goa

rhythms, nor will you find any commercial ibiza vocals. All in all its a

beautiful collection of trance sounds. Strongy recommend it.

I'm agree with Children, some samples are too agressive for the style, we can't

set up between a chill out or a trance album...The ambient tracks like "liquid

sky" are excelent !! But psedo-chill-out tracks like "the island" are too

noisi, with the tb-303 sounds...I thinks tb-303 is not a chillout

instrument...anyway, the entire album is kind of interesting... 7/10

I have to correct myself....I don't know where my head was when I was first

listening to this album and even having a bad critic over it...yes, it is more

light and smoother than his other releases, but, to hell, it isn't bad as I

said...It is more mellow and light trance music...It is not nor psychedelic

nor goa trance...After realising this album I like more songs now : HIGHER

FREQUENCY ( ! ), LIQUID SKY, DREAMLAND, CONNECTED, BIG BLUE...7/10
