Review by Josephschembri Jun 17, 2005 (edited 24 days ago)

One of those albums which combine the full on psychedelic madness with “Indian”, “Tribal” and “Ethnic “ sounds.

The album starts with the 1 and a half minute “prayer”, then slips into the beautiful drumming by Kakatsitsi and the euphoric melody of Mandragora.

Next comes Siouxpernature. It starts with the sound of a forest in the background. I don't know if the chant sampled in it is that of the Sioux Indians, and there seems to be some drumming in it too. Anyway, great.

Next comes Slipstream, featuring an ethnic chant, wonderful melody and a more laid back beat than the previous two.

Wizard's Brew is the fastest and loudest track of all. This track has no tribal and ethnic sounds, instead it is a full-on trance track from 1995 and is my favourite.

Alpha Return is a breakbeat track, featuring guitar and a very soothing melody to “relax” a bit after Wizard's Brew (the track is not slow anyway)

Water starts with the gentle sound of water flowing, then continues with a gentle and smooth beat but it's still a moving track.

12-12 closes this album in great fashion, altough the most laid back of all it still has great addictive melody and still will move you.

Recommended to Breakbeat Trance lovers and to Tribal Trance lovers too. Oldschoolers shouldn't be without either ;)
