Love Dove is the winner on this EP as it dives deep before heading off into acid heaven. Nice vibe in this track and very well done. Astral Community is also a nice track for those into the kinder side of acid.

A2 Astral Community seems to be inspired by the track "Suffer the children" from Tears for Fears , i think too
VINTECH Feb 19, 2020
B1 Plutonia seems to be inspired by the main melody of tubular bells from mike oldfield i think

As you would expect, the Trance and Hard Trance from Noom Records in the mid 90's is of the highest quality. This is entirely applicable to Instant Zen's Fjord EP. Four amazing Hard Trance tracks that still sound really good. As someone who is into Hardcore, it is Synthetic that grabs my attention. Beautiful Hard Trance that employs a Hardcore kickdrum in the second and forth quarters of the track. Great record!

excellent trancer in my opinion one of the very best melodic tunes from this age liking astral commuinty

Excellent 4-tracker from Noom. All cuts are excellent, but they all have the same tonality, and are quite similar (being the exception "Plutonia", with a nice piano tune). My pick is "Astral Community", with a happy and cheerful tune over a serious and menacing 303 riff! Essencial for all Noom collections.

Great EP from the Noom Label. All the tracks rate high. Nice 303 sounds in each track. I think "Love Dove" captures the sound of '94 trance music in Germany perfect. Well done Samuel Malm!
