Josephschembri, Aug 13, 2006

The first album by one of the Godfathers of the genre. Alongside artist like Hallucinogen, Astral Projection, Man With No Name and The Infinity Project, Total Eclipse with releases on labels like TIP Records, Blue Room Released and Dragonfly Records are the creators of the true Goa Trance sound from back in the days.

Delta Aquarids contains eleven tracks which today sound a bit dated unfortunately, but one has to appreciate the quality of these tracks. Amongst the best tracks some highlights are Free Lemonade, Le Lotus Bleu, Can’t Do That, The Crucible and Blade Runner. Tracks are simple in texture when compared especially to their second album “Violent Relaxation” in 1996; but all tracks are nice, and each track has that unmistakeable Total Eclipse unique mark in it.

What bewilders me in this album is that it lacks their best track ever, the 1994 “Waiting For A New Life”. This also happens to be the second release on the legendary TIP Records. The said track is 10 minutes long so most probably two tracks would have had to be chopped off for that to fit. Still it’s a shame to me that it didn’t make it on this album.

Luckily this album has been reissued in 2005 on Inpsyde Media, so it’s very widely available on major Trance shops online. Don’t let it go away. If you don’t have it, buy it now. Delta Aquarids is one of the highlights of the genre. To point that like a majority of Blue Room Released releases artwork is horrible but don’t let that put you off.
