I think you have to take this for what it is. This is not a psytrance album per se. Sure there are psy elements in it, but I believe this is more of a general trance album. Not commercial, but energetic, melodic and euphoric. Including the last track it can be cinematic. Hell, he even took a melody from Yanni in the track Gemeni. Now Yanni will never be psychedelic, but I liked the way he strung it together. This was very different and a nice change of pace.

Wow, what a colossal disappointment. If this is where "psy" trance is going, Ill pass. I havent listened to Bio-Tonic since Elektrik Colors, but I can remember them having some pretty good bangers. They have always been quirky, kind of straying into suomi territory, but this...

Its basically a club-trance album, with loads of vocals, that annoying auto-tune function and bad full-on beats. Its hard to get into this music as there are numerous breaks. So I felt there was no flow. The only thing that saves this disc from being a Frisbee, is the off beat "I Know What They Want" and the mover "My Heart is Dancing." This may appeal to the young trancers, but it is most certainly not for me.

This is Lukas Keller from Switzerland with his debut Cd. He also has a website with quite a few free tracks for download. This is how I became acquainted with him. He has a goa trance track that is absolutely blistering called Kalimah. So here we go hoping that the album matches that intensity.

Getting into this album, there is no subtlety. We are in full on territory but what makes this different is almost all the tracks have some vocoded voice adding a cheesy house-like element. If house is your thing, cool. I hate it. You can tell he has talent, because his sounds and kicks are very powerful. Just when you think you are off, the vocoder comes in and I think Im at the Palladium in NYC during the 80s. It kills it for me.

I would call this psy-house, and if that was what he was going for, he succeeded. I think this album is for the laser stick trancers as it didnt appeal to me. I did enjoy the music part of the tracks however. So in closing, if you like full-on with vocoded house like speaking, then this is for you.
