I was pleasantly surprised when i stumbled upon this artist recently, and i was even more surprised when i discovered that he is giving his music away for free on various netlabels. In my opinion his music is on par with - and even better than alot of electronic musicians, which music is not for free. His style is mainly deep & delicious spacy (bassy) dub techno, sprinkled with minimalist clicks & cuts, and layered with pretty ambient pads. I can only recommend this artist, and my deepest respect goes to him for sharing his beautiful visions - and that all free of charge *hats off* ...

This is THE album, the album that made me forget all about goa trance with joyfull bliss! The first time i experienced the tracks on this album was at a raveparty at amagerbio in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the first time i heard it i was not thrilled ... at ALL!!! I had to leave the rave almost imediately as they got on, this was not the kind of music i was prepared for at that moment. It was just too dark & hard, being used to melodic uplifting tracks like the classic Zebra etc. that they used to make. Ok to my defense it was early in the morning when they got on the stage, but anyways. Needless to say, i was very dissapointed in them the next couple of days. But then i stumbled into their latest record in a shop, and as they had been my favorite goa act for a long time, i had to buy it even though i didn't like it at the rave. Then i got home and listened to it, one thing i remember clearly and will never forget was the impact that especially 'Psychomachine' did to me at the first listen. The start of the track is really low-key, something i was not used to from the goatrance around at that time. So i cranked up the volume since it was so low, and then the beat kicks in ... unforgetable! I also remember clearly when i listened to 'Telegram' i was watching a program about hammerhead sharks on the television. The track and images from the TV completely entranced me, the constant pulsating bassline, the innovative pattern of the bassdrum, and the ingenious progression of the track is unmatched to this day in my humble opinion, and it is still my favorite track. Another classic on this album is the overly hectic 'Electromagnetic' , you better fasten your seatbelts because this is one aggressive piece of work. Ok this review is getting quite lengthy, but needless to say this album has a very special place in my heart, and is my favorite album to this date. These guys were before their time when they made this album, and completely reinvented the trance genre. Surely some people will fall of and be dissapointed by their change of style, like me in the beginning. But god am im glad i gave the album another listen, because it sure is worth it, it just has to grow on you. To me 'original' goatrance is hollow compared to this, once you get used to this style. A perfect 5/5 for an unmatchable thoroughly original and innovative album years ahead of its time ...

This is one of the best techno/trance albums i have ever heard, but people looking for lightheaded full-on israelian inspired goa-trance for the dance floors probably should look elsewhere. This is the thinking mans trance, more of an inward laid back experience. Don't get me wrong here, i think this is great for the dance floors, but people used to full-on israelian psytrance, might find this boring at first listen. This is an album that you have to let grow on you to make it work, but believe me ... it's worth it!. It's slower, it's more minimal, it's more experimental, it's darker ... i could go on, than your average 'psy' release. It's very obvious that Planet Ben has been inspired by X-Dream on this release, but he does a great job at it and adds something new to the style. All in all this is one of the best releases in the genre in my opinion, almost on par with the unbeatable 'X-Dream-Radio' album. So if you like the darkside of German psy-trance, give this one a listen 4.5/5 ... Unfortunately the lack of releases like this is what have driven me away from the genre :( ...

Wow ... What can i say! Im really impressed by this album. It makes all the prior Biosphere albums seem like pop music. This is deep, this is dark, this is minimal, this is actually disturbing. Some of these tracks makes your ears hurt, even though it's ambient music, but still you can't help listening. I have never heard ambient music as deep as this. Biosphere on this album, really experiments with the extremes. The bass is so deep that you can only really hear it with headphones, otherwise you'll just feel the rumbling below you ... it's really that deep ... And then we have the disturbingly high pitched monotone sounds, that almost makes your ears bleed ... wow! ... This is the deepest ambient i have ever heard, makes everything else obsolete ... I hope Biosphere will continue this style in the future ... Respect! ...
