Har-El Prussky - Pagan Moon Child - 25-Aug-08 02:27 AM
I'm wondering why this CD gets such bad rating actually.
To me this is one of those albums that is the manifestation of the first goa sound produced in the early years '91 - '95.
Real ancient goatrance on it's best.
To me this is an album that is representative to real old skool sounds.

Oké, it sounds old, but who cares? It was the trance that is important and still should be. Maybe because it is not a rare album the rating is not so high? I don't know. But to me this is what goa is really about.

The tracks are very linear, still floating and very deep of sound, although the equipment of those days was not what it is now. So I can never give bad rating for this CD because it sounds old or "not finished" and really crystal clear of sound!

I think I'm going to play some more of this (real) old goatrance in my dj sets. Make people hear this stuff again. I know many of the new generation want real more fast and up tempo baseline pumping psychedelics and melodies, but I think this music has also what it takes. Maybe they are harder to get into, still, I know when I hear tracks like this I just can't hold myself of dancing very very hard although the tempo is not really that fast: but is it that what trance is about?

One of the best early goa albums so far. I think I reviews every track with this comment: all floating universes taking us into a vibration of trance! I wish there were more youngsters making this old crap :) Really, I do mean that! Why? Because this old stuff was made from the hart, and to quote Har-El here "arranged and produced under extraordinary circumstances."

Certainly, I'm gonna put this album more than onces, strange I just bought it recently. But better late than never! A must for a trance lover and collector!

Bypass Unit - Dropz Of Obscure Eclipses - 30-Mar-08 08:03 AM
Well, I just have met René, and I can only say his music is just like his personality - laughing: wicked mixed salad ballade dancing music vibes!!! Only made in a few weeks time; well this is a bomb!!!

Zibling Zwirl is that track name that cover the entirely what the songs is doing here: taking "zwibling" twists and let your body wanna see all corners of the room. A fluent melody, twisting and turning you around. Like a whirl wind take control of your feet and hands!
Frozen trance, but still fluent is a strange sort of way. Making you wonder if the ice is melted or not!

Spectral Collapse is more trancy than the first track. Especially the brake on 4:10 shows how skilled René make the trance come back into the song, from here the songs takes a leap forward and makes a happy end to the ending! Slowly building up and making you flow on weird kinda trance trip.

Liquid Prisma, haha, a more happy start here! Com on and dance to this cheerful melody, but still very Bypass Unit, a bit frozen, still fluid enough to dance!
I feel that this track has more layers and spiral twists in it. More of a song to think about. Kinda rough and deep melody line switch from one to another. Taking one direction after another.
On 2:55 you can hear how nicely those layers all fit together. Again a masterpiece to me.
Not high peeking music, but still great enough to trow your self in!!! Spinning , spinning and twirling!!! And from 7:55; just dance!!!

In Mesmer Drops the cd takes another and more trancy twist! Taking you on a more melodic journey trough the Bypass Unit soundings! This track more is long ans spinning around; no high peaks, just infecting your brain with some nice layered goatrance!

Lunar Senses is even more going up the trace way, but still, we have that delicious Bypass Unit undertones and baseline, just love it actually! From the start this songs is strong, not really time for a slow motion building up, go with the flow, tis is like the first songs twisted and taking all directions.
This track bursts of energy, from the first to the last moment of it. It has no time to let you come easily in it, just take the ride, that's my feeling here!

Distorted Frames, I think this track is the masterpiece of the whole cd! This is the songs where every aspect of Bypass Unit and much more comes together!!! The whole is vivid, strong, deep, powerfull and very melodic!!
I have no words for this track because it is just a very great ride to my opinion! Nothing to add.

Again, we have in Nanosphere Courier a strong and vivid track! Less melodic, but also deeper than deep. Check out the part around 6:20, genius at work! He makes us twirl and twirl, maybe even more than is his first track! A pearl, no a diamond doze!
Nothing to add here too!

I think the last track, Frozen Symrex, is a nice melodic finishing tough of the whole album! I goes very gentle and easy going from the beginning to the end; still it has (hidden) power in it layers! The more I listen to this one I dive deep in it! Become crazy with this - first a like gentle but freaky deep - melodies!

I guess this is the best album of Bypass Unit, less trancy than the second one, but o so strong and well thought!!! His music makes me dance and think at the same time; very enjoyable goatrance with a unique sound! Every collector hears this is Bypass Unit! Great, greater, greatest!

Etnica - The Juggeling Alchemists Under The Black Light - 26-Aug-07 05:32 AM
Wow! What is this? I guess goatrance went here on a higher level!

Music that is sweeping, clear and bright; and certainly very trancy! As all the tracks starts very gentle, their ending always makes me crazy and "dance like nobody is watching"!

As Etnica made this CD, I have to admit, they could not do a better job to define goatrance in a better way! Every tracks is very outbalanced, fluently and takes a psychedelic twist, guiding us to the ending of the track!

To me it seems that this way they are capable, as we are used of them in that period of time, to tell us a complete story where one can not only just dance on, but also sitting and relaxing in a comfortable chair and just listen to the geniousness and refined sounds.

It surprises me, every time I listen to this masterpiece, that the exact timing of their compositions is what makes this album so strong. This goatrance is not made in a few days, it needed some thinking to me. It can't be done in a few hours. That's why I must admit that the guys who wrote this album where very intelligent goatrance designers!

When will they release more off this? Hope to see that happen soon!

Filteria - Sky Input - 24-Aug-07 05:54 AM
The more I listen to this album, the more I like it!!! The revival of the Etnica/Pleiadians style is a fact!

The craziness and psychedelics of this music reminds me totally of the old skool masters in the old days! I gues jannis is the biggest talent we can find is the goatrance scene of these days; off course there is other great music too, but I don't seem to find another man who is capable of making, on such a short notice, so much and such nice mùusic without let it seem boring to the ear and mind (laughing).

I can only say, the more I get to like Etnica and Pleiadians the more I like Filteria! The more I begin to understand Etnica/Pleiadians the more Filteria is getting to me! It seems Jannis is the modern version of the old sound, cristal clear and vivid, his sound is actually never boring me!
The only thing I will never understand is were his inspiration is coming from! I can only say I can be glad he is this good in music and that I could already welcome him on one of my parties here in Belgium!

Fluently, liquid and spacious, Filteria makes the mind feel goa, it makes the body dance and tremble by goa!
