Koxbox - Dragon Tales

Must be one of the most psychedelic albums ever!

Koxbox (aka Psychopod) have released two albums in 1997 – the Headlines EP under their Psychopod alias and Dragon Tales. While the Headlines EP is more for the feet than for the mind, Dragon Tales however tackles both. One can hear the similarities between the two albums but Dragon Tales has a unique sound which creates a unique atmosphere which probably no other album manages to create. This is an incredibly hypnotic album from the beginning to the end with an infinity of sound layers and multiple psychedelic effects making all tracks a fantastic trip into the deepest realms of psychedelia. Sorry, but picking up a favourite is impossible!

There’s a very attractive cover art complementing this release, would liked to have seen this in digipak format.

Another essential ninety’s psychedelic masterpiece from the Danish masters. Start hunting it now if you don’t have.

Welcome to Psychedelia mayheem from Danish act Koxbox in their prime! There is no other way around it. If you are into psychedelic trance this album is an absolute must (together with Koxbox' previous album Forever After) setting a milestone of psychedelia for years to come.

I really should go through these tracks one by one as they all deserve a comment; D.M.Turner for its psychedelic twists, Electronic Brainwash for its melodies, Doktor Mesmer for its cool, Life is ... for its killer beat etc. Words will not justify, however. You just have to hear it to realize that Koxbox never got better than this.

Beware that Dragon Tales does not sound like your average nineties psychedelia, though. Both sound and qualitywise Koxbox was in league of their own. Their sound on this album is more of a laidback type of psychedelia and more for drifting away than head-on dancing.

So kick of your shoes, open your ears & mind and let the prime of ninety psychedelia take you in. Mothership bordering now ... ;o)
