Astral Projection - Another World

Astral Projection's "Another World" was released following the hugely sucessful "Dancing Galaxy",and continues on that tradition of massive, rich and deep sounds of previousAstral Albums. Nine mind-blowing compositions, kicked off by the heavenly and angelic sounds of 'Nilaya' - a floor killer that captures the soul and takes it into a psychicjouney into the chakras.The album theme "Another World"is a pulsting grooveoverlaid with skylining power riffs. "Visions of Nasca" - images of colliding magnetic fields that mold into powerful and mysterious 3D morphing grooves."Searching for UFOs" - a touching creation - a magical light from the galaxy beyond us with excitingmorning sounds. Other tracks include "Tryptomine Dream", "Aqua Line Spirit", Trance Dance and the legendary Mahadeva in a new form "Mahadeva 99". All in alla multidimensional sound scape, breaking new boundaries in Psy Trance.

This album is Astral Projection at their peak in my opinion. While I love all their albums, Another World always stuck out for me. The overall feel and theme of the music is very futuristic and outerspace... Which is something I love in trance music. When an artist or album successfully captures this feeling in their music I go crazy for it. Tracks like "Nilaya" and "Tryptomine Dream" give these space images very well. Its debatable if Astral Projection is still considered goa trance as I write this review, but back when Another World came out, there was no better artist in the genre!

Hearing Another World 6-7 years after its release is a real gem and a beatiful trip down trance & music memory lane. This album holds all the essentials that made me fall in love with trance in the first place and oozes talent, ideas, and a profound love of music. The melodies, the force of sounds, the simplicity & the complexity. It's all here. The boys from Astral Projection really were walking on water back then and this album one of many milestones in their career.

Need I pick one favourite it'd be Searching For U.F.O.'s, but it really isn't worthwhile doing. Everything is 7/5 here.

An essential in any trance collection.
