The A-side features one of my favourite progressive tracks ever. A deep DEEP trance track with a huge mystical atmosphere. Just check out those perfectly fitted vocals at the breakdown and not to mention the massive main melody. Goosebump material, no doubt!
I can't help but notice how much this one reminds me of "Ra - To Sirius". The similarities are many but they're quite different at the same time... "To Sirius" had a more massive spacey vibe while Corolle has a more eastern/organic touch to it. Ra's album is one of my favourites and I must say Corolle is not far behind.
From the lovely intro track "Listening Winds" to the full-blown goa stormer of "Ganesha Pramana" this was one of the most fresh surprises of 2005, without a doubt. Highlights: Listening Winds - What a great way to start of this album, this one truly sets the mood. Ganesha Pramana - 160BPM straight out of goa and with an epic EPIC melody! Reminds of the huge melodies of Rezwalker (the Live mix) and Lepton Head (the Deedrah remix). Mind blowing track, maybe a little too short... Indian Attic - Best track of the album. Wonderful hypnotic sounds floating back and forth all the time, it never gets boring. And when those melodies at 6:05 start all you can do is close your eyes, mmmm. Amazing!! 
An interesting note for this release is that my favourite tracks 1,4 and 8 were all produced by Matthias Rumöller himself (the other tracks were produced by Menichelli and McCoy).
Space Dwarfs and I Feel are two awesome tracks packed with a lot of twists and turns and a huge amount of goa energy. Guaranteed to stir things up on the dance floor. Don't miss the incredibly intense build up of I Feel followed by this amazing climax! The other stuff by McCoy and Menichelli aren't really to my liking, heavy pounding beats and guitar rifs.. Yes guitars, you'll probably either love 'em or hate 'em. And even though I'm not that fond of them but I must admit that Dance of the Witches is a very good track. 
"Night Flight Through Babylon" definately makes this one worth tracking down but don't get overly excited about it! It's basically a remix of Infernal Machine's Loin King, but nevertheless a very good track. Much better than the original in my opinion.
Probably one of the best releases from the so called goa era. Welcome To The Future and Ant Invasion are pure perfection, extremely psychedelic! The last track is a loooong trippy space journey with an incredible final climax: Dreamy melodies floating on and off before the final explosion hits you, I can't even describe this in words. You simply have to listen to it!
Chi-A.D. - Infinitism
May 20, 2004
One of the best melodic trance albums ever made in my opinion. All tracks are great except "Sub-Atomica" which is "just" good. The tracks are quite different in style too but still manages to maintain that Chi-A.D touch. Beautiful, atmospheric, epic all the way through.
I can't pic a favourite out of these, so I'll name three that I especially like... Beyond The Singularity - Awesome track, great atmosphere Eye Am The I - The perfect dance floor track Animatrix/The Flame - Great build-up and amazing melodies | ||||
