Etnica - The Juggeling Alchemist Under The Black Light [DAT Records]


Recommended Posts

Quote

The Juggeling Alchemists Under The Black Light is Etnica’s first album, a seminal release in the history of Goa Trance music. It was first released in 1995 and has been sold out for a very long time now, so DAT Records searched the archives of the band and found some incredible tracks from the era which had never been released, including some very early demos and test tracks that the band has kept for all this time, since its inception and their first productions of 1993.

This spectacular triple digipak will satisfy every fan of the band, and the music contained is really floating, magical, and very special. It also includes many trance and proto goa tracks that will be loved by everyone who danced in the 90s but will also be very appealing to the new generation, since every track has now been mastered for this epic release.

We do hope you will support the hard work behind this release that took over 2 years to prepare for release. It is with great pleasure that we want you to once again dance and trance to the magical music of Etnica.

I wonder why none of these were included?

DAT 4 “Etnica Test 95”
1995 / Source: Etnica archives, Ibiza

1 – Etnica – Elevator  7:34

2 – Etnica – Axid  6:37
Maybe there is a connection with the track ‘Acid Shell’, released the same year. [kwulf]

3 – Etnica – Ecnart  6:54

4 – Etnica – Liquid Brain  5:53

:rolleyes: finally... and a 3CD bad-boy... omg!!!! :o almost too good to be true.

I'm looking forward to hearing the album in remastered version, I have never been interested in buying the original (for other reason than rarity of it :lol:...) due to the sound quality...

@OopieBecause we don't think those tracks are on par with the rest of the album.We might release them somewhere else or on another reissue (maybe alien protein ?) but for now they will remain unreleased. Believe me, we chose the best of the best and speaking of which, the release is coming soon, pre orders will start next Monday, also on bandcamp for all the fanatics :D !!

The original album is one of those releases which were screaming to be reissued one day, first for rarity and matching prices accordingly and second for remastering issues - something which High Society apparently never did -  not at least before '98 since it's by then that the CDs started sounding good - then again by then production had done great progress. All releases before '98 seem to have been transferred directly from DAT to CD. Only the Kinder Der Erde album sounds great, probably the author was good in finalising tracks. Paradise Connection is also good though not at par with KDE in terms of production.

Mastering credit never appeared on High Society releases, no wonder.

In all fairness, the original does not sound (that) bad - it only needed a punch - volume is low for example. However I seem to remember that the last track had different dynamics, and that definitely needed a fix. Used to have the original - bought it for €40 - sold it for €80 - still was happy ;)

Looks like tracks 3 and 4 aren't going to be switched anymore on reissue :)

Etnica are legends in the Goa and Psychedelic Trance genre, and they should be known to everyone who has partied in the last 25 years.

DAT are immensely proud to reissue their first original creation, "The Juggeling Alchemists Under The Black Light" album, including rare and unreleased tracks the band produced between 1993 and 1995.

Cover:

Released into a triple deluxe Digipak, it features a 16 page booklet with the history of the Etnica group.

It is a stellar edition and a real collector’s item for whoever wants to own the first and incredibly beautiful album of the Italian Maestros.

About mastering: yes the original album was transfered from DAT to CD on high society, thus it was mastered for the first time on this release.

Pre-ordered! Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Etnica / Pleiadians but I really appreciate Frederico's work & dedication to unearth and preserve that music. And who knows, maybe I'll be surprised like I was with Live In Athens '96 :) Especially because I never heard Juggling(...) since I couldn't find a - reasonably priced - copy :D

Great work as always, looking forward to next week! <3

same here. some very interesting unreleaseds and the remastering really makes the classics shine bright again. the only negative is that i'm inevitably comparing it to dat's version of ifo (and it's extremely hard to close even close to ifo) ;) .
