Airwave – Trilogique

One of the albums that will never leave my wall. Even thought i like "I Want To Believe" more, i think this is Laurents biggest masterpiece which showed what a creative genius he was and that he could do it all (even thought some tracks were inspired by another masterpiece album Sasha - Airdrawndagger, Laurent gave them his own twist). Its impossible to pick the favourite track for me, love almost all, but there is something about "Beam" that awakens this feelings of nostalgia and gratefulness to have been feeling and understanding this music and how much beauty music can give.

Angelica reminds me a LOT of James Holden - Nothing (93 returning mix).. Im surprised nobody here mentioned this before.

Arguably the great Airwave's magna opus, Trilogique is a towering effort of swirling progressive trance. Not much more to add to comments below, the first disc is sublime, with every cut being excellent. The first two tracks are particularly good. The immortal Sunday Break is a landmark in trancey-progressive breaks and the Markus Schulz and Antidote collabs are an absolute pleasure. The ending track, a 14min+ monster, is also a superb track without the slightest sense of bloatedness. I tremendous first cd.

Disc 2 is a slightly more aggressive approach but nevertheless a pleasure to listen to. Intrusion is a lovely tech-tinged progressive tune, jumping into the cool breaks of Appletonz. It makes its way through some growling progressive cuts and some more laidback cuts. Basically all tracks are strong! Disc 3 goes out with a lovely ambient/downtempo playlist. Definitely get your hands on this if you like progressive trance in any way, shape or form!

By far the most perfect trance album there is.

This is by far the best album by Airwave, and the cd 1 is the most powerful and amazing. In cd1 we have strong and touching musics like "Sky blues", "Hello sunshine", "Angelica" and "People just don´t care". The cd1 is perfect for the Summer Season: the sun, the heat, the blue skies, the natural landscapes and the hot chicks. The cd 2 is unfortently distressing, i´ve listened to this cd several times and i can only enjoy "ubiquity" and "Mice", the two last tracks are really a pain to the ears and mind. The cd 3 brings relaxing and beautiful atmospheric musics, with mystery, love and other touching experiences. My favourite music is "CCCP Genious". This Album is one of the best Trance releases ever, its pitty that the cd 2 does not satisfy, but if we ignore it we have a perfect experience with the cd 1 and 3.

This is the best album I've heard in a long time. Airwave shows how versatile he can be as both a producer and a DJ. He presents his three specific styles on seperate discs, starting with the distinct but familiar Progressive Trance we all know and love including such gems as "Hello Sunshine", "Sky Blues" and the two-parters "Summer In" and "Summer Out".

The second disc follows on similarly from the first, if in a more Techno and Electro vein, the recognisable anthem here being "Progressive Agressive". Some of it sounds quite reminiscent of work from Global Underground DJ Sasha, specifically the works from his Airdrawndagger album.

The third and final disc is all Chillout, which I for one am very glad about! Chillout is one of my favourite genres outside of Trance. A lot of what I love about Chillout can be found on this disc. It's calm, sometimes dreamy, atmosphere and it's worldly influences from places like the far-east, for example. Heck, you may even find Sasha-inspired material on here! I can really hear it in songs like "Gong Zu" and "80211GOD".

I think that even people who aren't specifically Trance fans can find something to enjoy on here. Personally, the first disc is my favourite, though over time this could change, particularly as the Chillout side of Trilogique is really growing on me. I advise all listeners of Electronic music, no matter what style to give this album a try. It's inspirational.

Another massive album from Airwave. This is a brilliant album with 3cds with different styles. Cd1 is airwaves typical style that we all know him for. Cd2 is progressive and deep tracks and cd3 is downbeat/ambient. This album is a beautiful journey thru trance to ambient and you can hear that Laurent has put his soul to this album. This is an album that i cant live without. Airwave has done it again...
