Why is it that people think it's so evil? What is it about it that is scares people so deeply? Even ... and if one is ... because they are afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because, if we go in, we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.".

What does one say about one of THE most important and well loved albums of the genre? Twisted is the album that really defined psy-trance. LSD changed the face of the psy-music world and its never been the same since.
Every track is excellent and the album works as a seemless sonic journey. From the mood setting LSD to the crazy full-on climax of Fluoro Neuro Sponge, to the gentle landing of Sosltice, it is one of the genre's most perfect journeys, topped perhaps only by Simon Posford's follow up effort, The Lone Deranger. Owners of the Twisted records rerelease should be sure to keep playing after Solstice to hear the bonus ambient version of another Hallucinogen great, Angelic Particals.
