Mauro Picotto Aug 07, 2003
I am a great techno lover. i like many different deejays like umek, chris liebing, kramer to name a few....but still my biggest inspiration would have to be this guy...mauro picotto!!! I think he is the biggest artist to hit the electronic scene. His works are very original unlike other artists which just grab one particular style and keep on dragging with it. This man started out with great trance which i think cannot be classified as any type of trance. I mean listen to like this like that. Can u ever classify that as tech-trance, hardcore, hard dance or even melodic trance?? That's what i like about this guy. He's bloddy original. Then take other artist like chris liebing for example. His songs are great but always on the same style!!

His lives are terrific! i never heard anything so good. His mixing is simply artistic. What i really like is his ability to mix hard techno with trance! Name me one other deejay which can do that in an awesome way like mr picotto!
I think the peak of his work, in which he shows his full talent, is awesome ep. It's just great. All the tracks sound different and all on a techno style. Just perfect.

This producer will remain my biggest inspirarion. I think he is the guy which got me hooked to electronic music! :)
If you like strong synths, funky voices, good routine and your trance pretty much hard......this is the album for ya! I think this is the album, every trance lover would like to have but can't seem to find!!! The music is vivid making anyone want to dance throughout the whole album :) Personally I cant come to terms why ap haven't become succesful like paul van dyk, carl cox or tiesto etc but anyways!
The music in this album varies from psychadelic, goa and even progressive trance! The best track in my opinion(the best track of ap as well) is without any doubt liquid sun! A true classic! The song makes you go crazy whilst at the same time makes you relax! The routine of the song is perfect and the strings.....just well garnished! The synths are great and hell I think there are other tracks not of ap's, which are imitated from liquid sun's synths!
Another good track is track 1 - dancing galaxy! It's melody is great (although not given that much importance) and the sample from dune.....yyyyeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
It's major problem is the beats! Don't get me wrong, they are very good, but the whole album makes use of the same kick and open hihat! That might become lame and uncreative!
Track 8 is the least track which i like! It starts pretty well, but as it continues developing it gets really boring! :(
Anyways I strongly reccomend to anybody who's into electronic music to buy this album! It's a true classic!! Mind my words! ;) I give it a 9/10
