A classic for goa trance. Koxbox dropped this album in 1995, and it got them immediate attention from trance fans. The tracks were fast and psychedelic.. There was nothing quite like it at the time. Something the listener will notice is that most of these songs have a very distinct and memorable ending that often adds a synth or sound that was not used in the song before hand. This make the tracks so much more rewarding after you're done listening to them. Its impossible to pick favorites here, because nothing stands out more then the other. All the tracks are great. Point Of No Return is a standout though simply because its the beginning of something great... Forever After!

If you are just a bit confused about what the definition of psychedelic trance is about then you will know listening to this outstanding album by Koxbox. Forever After is a sound universe consisting of pure psychelic tracks that no other has managed to match yet (second album from Koxbox Dragon Tales does not count... ;-)) With "Point Of No Return" (perfect title for this track and the whole album as such) Koxbox takes us on a journey into the most fantastic and diversified psychedelic sound trip you can imagine. At 4:59 you will need tunnel vision as Ian, Frank and Peter will rocket you right into what psy trance was all about and still is about: loads of enlighted sound tunnels made of multi layered as well as multi fragmented sounds throwing you in all directions at the same time getting you to a higher state of mind ! Now Skip on to track 3 at 2:17 and follow the track on and you feel you self surrounded by a rock solid structure of complex psychedelic sound waves ensuring that we are on the track to yet another level. Yes this album is a cornerstone for Koxbox as well for much of what has been made after..and hopefully what has to come. Even if I wrote a thousand lines more I would'nt be capable of expressing all the details of this stunning album from back then. Instead go and get it you won't be disappointed. And if you do get disappointed then Crack on because now you can be proud of having one of the very classic albums of Psychedelic trance in your collection.
