Okay, so here is the review that I promised, it is kinda long in its original form, so I will try to cut to the chase in this version. If anyone wants the original (yeah, right :) ), you can e-mail me for it. "It is VERY hard to OBJECTIVIZE music reviews! But we must strive for it. Later, though." CD1--70:06 1)Perry & Rhodan--> "the beat just goes straight on and on" 6:07 Has a semi-house feel. It is smooth in composition. For those of you who like trance and house, this is a great groove to dance to in that genre. Label: housey hard trance 2)OBX--> "eternal prayer" 7:53 great hardtrance with vocals reciting the "eternal prayer." Good, solid, distinct basslines layered. At a rave this would be a "stomer." Label: hardtrance 3)Influx--> "vs128" 3:37 The bass line sounds like a breakbeat, but isn't always played. If it were, it would put one into a "dancing trance." Label: breakbeat trance 4)RD1--> "eclipse" 8:28 You'd be dancing to this song, listening to the ambience while you didn't know what the bass was doing with your body. Label: ambient/acid/trance 5)Escape 3--> "escape to neptune" 6:10 This song just seems like it is a little monotonous (but what trance song isn't, right?). It IS a good song though. A contradiction? I don't know. Label: hardtrance 6)Transform--> "transformations (the irresistible force mix)" 9:16 Silky smooth female voice making a melody. Good "morning music" for after a rave. Label: acidic ambient 7)Syzygy--> "organik" 7:30 Good, well orgainzed, hard trance. It has a lot of breaks. Maybe that is why the name "organik" sticks to this song. Label: breakbeat trance 8)Influx--> "tiny green spots" 4:51 This song would give a fresh breath after a set of exhaustive hard trance. Label: acid trance 9)Tranquilizer--> "tranquilizer" 8:37 Would "light psycho trance" be a label? Has an almost cheesy rap bassline from that song "It takes two to make a thing go right." Label: ambient breakbeat 10)Balil--> "parasight" 7:32 Very good light acid trance. I could listen to it forever. Label: light acid trance. CD2: 70:30 1)Syzygy--> "discovery" 10:46 Interesting wavering sound, acidy, ambient naturistic sounds, sonic bass. Label: slow, ambient, hard trance (whatever _that_ means) 2)Dreamfish--> "school of fish" 18:20 Pure ambient bliss Label: ambient 3)Sequential--> "everything is under control" 6:47 Label: good ambient/trance 4)New London School of Electronics--> (I forgot the frickin' name, didn't write it down) 10:51 Vocals like Deep Forest-better though. Great tribal trance. Best song on the album! Label: TRIBAL TRANCE!!!! 5)The Irresistible Force--> "flying high" 15:30 Very sonic ambient! Good. Label: ambient 6)Cybertrax--> "drifting (throught the galaxy)" 8:14 Cool bass, you feel like you _are_ drifting on waves! Label: ambient. Comp. as a whole, VERY GOOD! A GEM in any collection of Trance!
