Electric Universe - One Love

SkeletonMan, Dec 10, 2005

One cool and classic 1995 ride! For those of us that aspire to the original Psytrance of 95-98 this is one of the musts.

Is say the album has an overall typical mid-nineties trance sound. Not very complicated so if you like todays progressive youll probably also enjoy this album for its quiter parts that, I think, works quite well as deep trance. Very simple, very repetitive, very mindwidening. If you like deep trance you know what I mean and this album will not dissappoint you. Check out for instance the last two minutes of Out Of Time and tell me you dont get hypnotized. Or the middle part of Galaxia. Or Equilibrio or all of Electronic Pulsation. Im sure you get my drift. This is pure bliss for deep trance gems. The melodies EU rips out for you are so happy and mind uplifting and filling its impossible not to follow the flow. And once on the ride, this is a 1st class ride.

Well, there are parts of this album I am not too crazy about. A song like Orange Night, for instance, has a mid section where not much is going on and the same goes for a couple of the other songs. Also I am not crazy about the heavy use of the acidic synth sound that is used throughout the tracks. Dont get me wrong. At the right time it workes wonders. I just like that there is not an acid lead to pave the way so much of the time. Well, I guess any good album needs to also contain a challenge to the listener. It cant be all about seconds ;o)

So in conclusion, if you like 95-98 Psytrance this is definitely an album youd wanna check out. As your can hear, I am not crazy about all the parts of all the tracks but I hear no fillers and if put on at the right time, Im sure, each and any of these songs would rock my butt off! Dance or die.
