This one who likes California Sunshine And this quality melodic style, won't be dissapointed. It all begins with "Dejavu" great track with great mystical guitars performed by Dror Orgard. There's a lot of different sounds of guitar. Second track is a little darker one, with some acid tunes, You can hear there some kind of weird energy "Bhadones" - beginning is similar in style to the previous track, but after couple of minutes it begin filling with lot of energetic melodies, one of the best tracks on this album. "Vertigo" this track, is less melodic And softer one, but it has some hypnotic sounds. 5th track remixed by Oforia sounds a little hous'y (clubby), but has a lot of happines inside. "Wonderland" - remix of an old Har-ell's track track, this version is much better, then original And I love this track, at the moment for me is the best track on this album. "The Future Now" - classic melodic track, also very positive in Califirnia Sunshine style. Summer 89 - also good peace of work , hard beat, lot of melodies, full of sunshine. The last one "Futuro" is harder one, some acid loops, tribal beats, uplifting melody. 2nd mixed CD beginns with the great remix of B.Blenn's "Rain", it's also one of my favourite tracks. Rest tracks are probobly well known from the previous albums of this duo. "Jajo" , "Summer 89" very melodic, classic old tracks. "Black Moon" - hard, source of energy for the party. Very strong And powerfull "Alala", "Avalanche" with lot of screaming melodies, & from well known "Coming Home". So what can I say, those album is filled with energy, paradise, sunshine, happiness... When I'm listening to this album I also remind the parties from early 90's. Another quality album, from one of the most experienced And appreciate trance pioneers Har-ell And Miko, thanks to them. P.L.U R. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeto Posted October 14, 2000 Share Posted October 14, 2000 This album has nice new tracks... The first cd is full of new ones and the Second cd is a mix of all thier old tracks. This one is typical Cali Sunshine style. I havnt heard this CD a lot. But what I hear of it it sounds nice. Its not HARD nor too ambient. its just right... lovely for after the sun has risen. "Day Jammin"! I would rate this 8/10... Nice release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted October 14, 2000 Share Posted October 14, 2000 I think this album of California Sunshine is like its brothers: some old tracks, some remixes, some not interesting stuff all around and we have a great (useless) 2xCD! the Astral Projection syndrom ? good: there are some ideas, bad: the sound is out of date. If you don't know California sunshine: 5.5/10. If you know California Sunshine: 4/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carahana Posted October 14, 2000 Share Posted October 14, 2000 Well i havent heard this album too much..but from what little i've heard it sound quite good,all very melodic and nice. Special attention to 'Bhadones', 'Deeper the Bluer(rmx), 'Wonderland' (rmx). Sunshine fans will be happy with it for sure:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoyogi.com Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 Pretty good album (disc1) and ok mix album (disc2). I am kinda sick of this type of trance though. Like to listen to it on a ride after party. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim[at]Raveworld[dot]net Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 Listened to this record yesterday and i would say it sounds like the usual melodic israeli goa stuff. Nice melodies but way to soft for me. I think it gets boring after a little while and there to small differences between the tracks..

Guest sensitive heart guy Posted March 2, 2001 Share Posted March 2, 2001 A great album from california sunshine I think the clasix disc is beter 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Magus Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 This is wonderful melodic morning trance. I wouldn't play it before 7 or 8 am though. People may have lost sight of what morning or sunshine trance is. I don't want to get bombed out all night and day. If you are a coke head, you won't like this. Or if you are a pissed off guy who only wants to hear hard sounds all the time. I give it 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johan.koivunen[at]surfeu[dot]fi Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 "All the people on this earth, are truly one." Wonderland is very, very good album. 10/10 Buy this great album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sw_V Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Great album once again from CS. Just love the remix-part (disc2) ... No one will sitt still to this album ... 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Pretty good album...California Sunshine simply can't miss. I like them staying faithful with their sound and didn't change...I like it with Astral Projection, Electric Universe and MFG...I like tohose old school masters not caring about the fashion...CS remained hypnotic and pretty psychedelic with this album...Best tracks are : LUNATIC, BHADONES, VERTIGO ( ! ), THE DEEPER THE BLUER, WONDERLAND ( ! ), FUTURO...Second disc is practically their best of...8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I don't like most of the tracks in both cds, especially in cd1. Yet, it's a must buy for 2 tracks. The Deeper The Bluer (Oforia remix) and Coming Home. All Time Favorites! The Passenger remix of Summer 89 is way too clubby, almost normal trance, but damn I like it a lot! 5.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A truly great album, both CDs, if I had to recommend a CS album it would be this one, even if some gems like Green sky are missing. Perfect sound for people enjoying a hybrid sound between trance/morning trance/goa trance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
