Jack DeJohnette - Oneness - 28-Nov-08 01:42 PM
Really nice album, the jazz comes from heavily percussive elements and the atmospheres so smooth and mysterious, sometimes it feels a bit too percussive but i guess its the emphasis of the artist. A nice setting for this slow and cinematic groovy experience. With all the jazz and its countless spin-offs there have been its quite a relief to see this came to light in 1997, a year far beyond the high days of the genre and yet again it manages to create its own setting and feel with the known jazz elements. Some tracks are very ambient-oriented and it suits the (current) cold winter days very well. I recommend to listen to it like the first time i listened it, slowly waking on a foggy winter morning.

This album is simply unmatched.

Up to today, never has a duo of music producers delivered such an inventive, unique-sounding, mind-disturbing piece of psychedelic trance. Its not about darkness, its not about a killer drive, its purely about mind-altering experiences to the likes of their own band name. The details are amazing, the textures overwhelming, the musicality, unreal. The whole feel and sound of this album is so unique and unmatched that it just keeps on being my number one and probably will remain. Tracks like Virtual Voyage and Over Mode simply crack open your perception and flood your brain with mystic visions and tribal rituals, as most other tracks do.

Like the soundtrack to the tale of an ancient world somewhere in between this reality and the next or a hymn to a long forgotten civilization, this cd catapultes you into that region of your subconsciousness which most people dont like to experience; the raw carnal nature and mystic origin of the human mind; fear & desire. In many ways, there are lots of experimental touches to this album; there are metal-influenced pieces, goth-piano sections, disturbing synth-infested passages, it all holds together pretty well while delivering a first-class cinematic experience.

An absolute mind-blowing experience which will proudly go down as one of the greatest and most complex albums ever in the history of psychedelic trance. A milestone a mile wide.
