Now I wonder, having seen a partial tracklisting for his new album on this site, if these tracks will end up filling in the gaps...? While they weren't totally mind-blowing, they certainly didn't disappoint. In fact, they're what made this purchase worth it, as the rest of the selections were either mediocre or already elsewhere in my collection (Ololiqui & Morphem mainly). Akasha Project's contribution is very reminiscent of early Total Eclipse (albeit with less of their intensity). Biot dishes out some seriously funky tribal trance with "Higher Level" while C.O.N.Sequencer follows suit with a more down-tempo house groove. Electric Universe supplies breaks on "The Space Dimension" (courtesy of his 1999 "Blue Planet" album), which adds up to a modest amount of variety for this more mellow collection. I could go into further detail, but I'm more interested in what others will say about this compilation. I've salvaged what I could from it.

ukiro Posted February 24, 2001 Share Posted February 24, 2001 This compilation has Human Blue: "Sandal Wood" on it. That is all you need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robdadd[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted February 24, 2001 Share Posted February 24, 2001 I was actually pretty happy with this comp; I agree that the chi ad tracks aren't that amazing but they're not bad either. The first one (sol-ice) reminded me of old Dead Can Dance albums a little. The cover calls it a morning trance compilation so if you're looking for something hard-hitting this isn't it. If you like light and spacy with just the right amount of drive to it though you'll like this stuff. Track 3 (Alegria) is somewhat repetitive but sounds like it would fit well into a Dj mix as a good transitional track. Akasha Project has a nice winding twisty track that incorporates what sounds like a sax into it - it actually works quite well. Gabriel Le Mar and Con sequencer both appear with tunes that manage to fuse dub, deep house, and trance into a nice organic whole. My favourite is definitely Sandal Wood by Human Blue though - this has appeared on a few other compilations but if you haven't heard it it is practiaclly worth the price of the discs alone - best I've heard from him so far. Electric Universe track has a good futuro-electro kinda feel with a non-cheesy sounding vocoderized voice (wish I could figure out what it was saying though...something about the future of humanity and flying through higher dimensions - good subliminal messages). Morphem-Hypnotone is also here - as it seems to have popped up on many other compilations too - I prefer the melodies of the original to this Cydonia remix. All in all though it is worth the money if you like morning tunes - good artwork on the inside too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Extremely good compilation....lots of real morning songs and very quality ones...Lots of big names too that just gave best fro themselves : CHI - A.D ( mellow and confused at the times but pretty good ), ATMOS, ELECTRIC UNIVERSE ( one of the best on compilation, simply great ), HUMAN BLUE ( very good melodic song ), MORPHEM ( stunning song, great rebulit by Cydonia ),AKASHA PROJECT....really lots of good artists gathered to make good sun tribe....This volume is much , much better than the second one....more melodies and less guitars so if you like more melodic morning music then go and GET THIS ! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The first half of this comp bored the crap outta me, but you have to put it into context. 2000 was a time when goa and their beautiful melodies were passe and monotonous droning was all the rage. Some tracks were good, like the Morphem one and the feurehake track. EU's track was a nice one as well. Not one of my fave comps.
