Guest Globalsteez Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 V/A - Movers & Groovers At The Temple Of Dawn Artist: Various Title: Movers & Groovers At The Temple Of Dawn Label: TIP World Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 07'73" Millenium Light : Millenium Light 02. 06'26" Zorba : The Deep 03. 05'52" Cyberbabas : Cyberbaba 04. 08'38" Tranan : Moody 05. 07'33" Ticon : Ass Tronaut 06. 06'50" PFN : Filter 07. 08'00" Total Eclipse : One World 08. 07'05" Qlap : Peu Ohm Peu 09. 08'31" Logic Bomb : Two Brains 10. 06'06" Tycho : Recluse Review: One of the problems that I find with some psy-trance albums is that like scratch dj albums, they can be too much to listen to in one go and that you usually have your favourites that you skip to time after time which if you've paid full price for the album can leave you feeling a bit short changed. This for me is not a problem with this here CD. I suppose it must be what TIP have been talking about when they say that our music deserves a new name be it New Form Music or whatever. They believe that in order for our scene to get the recognition and respect that it deserves and to allow it to expand and grow free and forward into this new Millenium, we should recognise that terms like 'Goa' trance only help to class us, for some observing people, along with rich hippies travelling on daddies money and disrespecting foreign people's land and who's music is full of generic repitition and pseudo-spirtual, drug referenced hipocritical nonsense. That sentence was far too long I know.! We know better than this of course because we're properly into the music and parties for all the right reasons like most people actually are. Surely though if music is claiming to be psychedelic then it has to be multi layered and always changing and evolving. This album is a great example of how in fact that is what's happening and how it will always. I'm not going to pick out any particular favourites for me as I'm sure that they're all potential favs and it would really be within the ears/minds of the beholders as to which tracks shine out most. There's not a weak track here for my money and you should fuck anybody right off with this and the Shpongle album who tries to say that all trance sounds the same and is dead. Names will change but good music never dies and this is bloody good music. It's not all full on mind but it is very nice without being chill out and is definately psychedelic enough and you can shake your ass to it, so eh...9/10 TIP's found a nice balance!!! ps. Has anyone actually seen Logic Bomb and are they any good live as I notice they're playin at Boom. I liked they're 'Two Brains' track on this album too. Cheers troopers...

Guest goa_2000[at]mail[dot]ru Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 Perfect compilations. Even one of the best from T.I.P. rec. I especially like the first track. It contains different kinds of sound. As for others, they are very good too. 9,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seb Mullaert Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 The Ticon track is my absolute favorite ... the rest ... hmmmmmmmmm maybe sometimes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pit-UFO Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Amazing album, its hard to say but is even better then Hallucinations. This is the kind of record you will enjoy for a long, long time if you really like electronic music not only infected drums, wizzy noises or S.U.N. guitars. There are more ideas and innovation in every track tan in most normal psychedelic releases. Respect to psychedelic house music. Gracias Kid Robert!! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest octopotamus[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Above they mention 'growth' and that's something a lot of goa-psy fans seem to distaste...they like the one sound that drew them into this scene, even if these psychedelic artists are ready to expand or try something new. Well, this album is in a different direction, and in my opinion a very flagrant House direction (I'm surprised no one made a fuss about that so far). That being, I really don't like House music, but I very much like this album! This is a great outdoor sound, morning sound, whatever you want to call it, but it rings true and clear with a positive and refreshing vibe. I'm from America where House is huge and Psy-trance is largely misunderstood or disrespected, and this is a fantastic album to draw more fans into the scene...not because these songs sell out, but because it's a solid compilation and it's accessable to virgin ears. I think this album also has a bit of feminine flair to it, as the ladies seem to enjoy it Special props to Ticon, who really has their sound down...they are releasing killer after killer, and "Ass-tronaut" is no exception. Right on the mark! This comp is a "must-have" for your collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dead74 Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 I know that a lot of people will dismiss this compilation because of its unique sounds, but I think it's really fucking good! It's goa, but it's house at the same time. It's a mix between trance and deep/progressive house. It has organic drums, progressive melodies, and at times, funky grooves! When I heard it a few months ago, I wasn't open minded enough to listen to it, but now, I can't stop listening to it. Okay, so it's not "Divi-nations" and it doesn't have full-on stormers, but the sounds are just so pleasant and the groove is so easy and laid back. Almost all the tracks are high quality and they all have unique characters. It's really good to see that the scene is expanding its boundaries because you know, the trance beat is the beat of the universe! Anyways, I recommend this for all the trancers out there 'cause I know people need "chiller" trance albums, and this is it. Listen to it with an open mind and don't shy away from "progressiv-ey" sounds 'cause they're not cheesey...just really beautiful and ambient. Thanx to TIP...and oh, I really hope that they start putting all their tracks on vinyl. Somewhere between 8.5 and 9/10 for this beautiful compilation.

Children Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 This is the FIRST compilation which gave me the impression I was listening to an ALBUM ! Indeed there's no Bad Track (hum maybe Track 3) and all have a quite similar style, close to the one of " Total Eclipse : Violent Relaxation : CD 2 " ! I think it well shows the QUALITY of this comp ... absolutely NOT minimal trance like other current TIP comps ! THANKS T.I.P, I think this is the BEST comp you have ever released ! My favourites are Tracks 2,4,5,6,7,9 (best ones are Tracks 7 & 4 : have you ever listened to a psychedelic " Secret Of Monkey Island " music style ? That's very crazy on Track 4 ;-)) Rating : 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ehsanur Posted October 24, 2000 Share Posted October 24, 2000 Beautiful compiliation with many groups that I've never heard of. Oki, Cyberbabas (mit Raja Ram:killer)! The style is very refreshing and it is definately worth a listening,because it doesn't fit into the ordinary trance-label. This is just beautiful music for beautiful people. Musically,some of the songs are housy. Not that its a bad thing,but it spiritually takes me more to Ibiza than to Goa certain times.And I have always rejected the Ibiza-hype (even though I know that Etnica/Pleiadians ,GMS and other mindbuggers live there) However,a very sunny and warm atmosphere in the tracks (track 2 was a bit cheesy) and the songs are well linked together. This is not that ordinary minimalistic dark european trance,no this is the positive music perfect for playing in the summer, in mid day,on a beach,in a country far far away... Its not ambient,but groovy relaxed,vibrant psychedelic house. 10/10 Bom Shankar- Ehsanti Brahman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SYN Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 One of the best ALBUMS this year. Simply beautiful!!! What can I say? Buy it and let the sun shine in your cooked brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 Yeah, I surrender, this compilation kicks some serious ass! Nice to hear that T.I.P.World doesn't follow the trend in these dark ages. Light, uplifting music for those mornings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mescalinium Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 My first impression of this comp (in part from what I read above) is that most everyone really digs it, but doesn't think anyone else will... It is extremely different from everything else I hear coming out these days, but therein lies its charm; freshness, imagination, and originality. The "Psychedelic House" label applied to it is somewhat accurate, but there remain key differencs from track to track. Some use housey beats and percussion, some use more houselike synth and bass lines. In any case, the combination definately works. This comp stands as the proverbial kick in the ass to more conventional releases. Respect to TIP for putting out this comp, and to all the artists who were willing to experiment with psychedelic sounds and create such a quality product.

Guest Dr Rhythm Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 I surrender as well!! Didn't think much of it to begin with but realised that it's been a regular in my CD player for months. Apart from the first track (horrible) and the last (misguided) this is really excellent stuff. I'll give it an 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diepeveen Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Beutiful... Beutiful comp... U can't imagine my happines when i first listened to this comp... Favourite tracks are: 2,4,5,8,9... Unfortunatly i had the great Zorba track on the Tsunami comp... But it's still GREAT! - 8,5/10 for the pure killers on this cd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zeitti Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 A really good compilation. All tracks fit on it nicely and they form a wonderful listening experience. No bad tracks! My favourites are 1,4,6,7,9,10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 I seem to be the only who thinks it's garbage. It's just too soft, no hard kicks, nothing daring, nothing musically remotely interesting. I can't and will not see why people consider this a classic. Nothing to get euphorical about, mediocre stuff with bullshit house-sounds that half of the time don't really fit in. Must be real TIP-lovers around here or something 4.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Indigo spice Posted September 14, 2001 Share Posted September 14, 2001 This is a damn good album! Quite different from all the other "Goa" albums i've heard. Don't expect any hardkicking "Psy-trance" though! This is more soft and laid back. A real uplifting album to listen to on a Sunday morning! And that's a 8/10!

Guest Zardoz Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 It's very rare that an album like this is released. Very up to the minute. Nice to hear something new!! This album is definitely in a league of it's own. The only thing close is Movers and Groovers 2. I just hope there's a third release.

Guest FinnHawk Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I'll admit the first couple times that I listened to this CD, I wasn't overly impressed, but the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. Usually, I prefer more full-on high energy music, especially when it comes to Goa/Psy Trance. I think most of these tracks are especially attractive to DJs since they are somewhat more "Intelligent" and "Progressive", than most Psy Trance and could easily be used in a "Progressive" style Psychedelic DJ set. At least as an aspiring DJ, that's what came to mind when I listened to this CD. Most of these tracks are also easier to mix and actually beatmatch, unlike most Goa/Psy Trance which is not very DJ friendly. One of my favourite tracks is #6 PFN - Filter, which is quite Techy and would be killer at a party on a HUGE sound system. I'll have to look into more Psy-Techno of that style...

Guest Tchankov I.V. Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Me considers it like conventional MINIMAL trance layered on house core. No offence is intended, but in my case the result is rather uninspiring, with almost no staying power. Year ago I thought it was a gem, now only disappointment it gives. It was a right time to release this "refreshing" stuff then, but one of these days it turns out to be exhausted. And The Temple Of Dawn is definitely located somewhere deep beneath the Divine land, attended by Shpongled folks. This comp lacks complexity to my mind, I'd rather it being something all about Cyberbaba's track style, but this is not the case here. I also appreciate Logic Bomb influences (ts 4 & 9), but this is not enough. Well, while this issue was needed to set the new trend, judging it closely, one like me can find nothing really stunning here. That's only my opinion, however. Tchankov I.V.

Guest kadafi Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Bloody?? nahh... I'd call it J.G.M. Jolly Good Music I believe this is one of those cd's where the cover says it all, and especially the title on it: moverzz and grooverzz at the temple of dawn... couldn't have chosen a better name for this compilation... favorites are Millenium Light with its nice percussion, flutes and groovezz...mmmmm...and of course Ass-Tronaut (definately thé best one here and also one of my favorite Ticon tracks:) Qlap and Logic bomb are J.G.M too... so J.G.M: 5!,1,8,9...G.M.: 2,4... global quotation 86% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Borken Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Not my thing at all. Cheesy melodies, housey and not very psychedelic. Only buy this if you like morning trance and even then give it a good listen first. The PFN track is pretty good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BournianMel Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 I've had this album for a couple of years now, and I still give it a 9/10. Quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tchankov I.V. Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I've had this album for 2 years now too & I give it 5,5/10. Now only Ticon track works for me - it's great, whereas all others just grate on my nerves, in except maybe those 2 LB tracks which are still quite listenable, but nothing special too... In other words, this vibe is simply not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
