Reviews
Released in 1994, Implant by Eat Static remains a standout in the realm of psychedelic music, as reflected in the enthusiastic consensus from the Psynews.org community. This album is celebrated not just for its innovative sound but also for its timeless quality, making it a must-listen for both old fans and newcomers alike.
The album blends intricate programming with ambient textures, creating a sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Many reviewers note that it's perfect for relaxation, often suggesting it as an ideal soundtrack for moments of introspection or altered states of consciousness.
Standout Tracks:
"Survivors" - Frequently highlighted for its driving rhythm and captivating flow, this track sets a powerful tone.
"Dzhopa Dream" - Praised for its dreamy quality, it offers a wonderfully laid-back listening experience.
"Area 51 (Nucleonic Mix)" - Recognized for its deep, immersive sound, capturing the essence of the album's psychedelic journey.
Overall, Implant is regarded as a classic that showcases Eat Static's pioneering spirit and continues to influence the psychedelic trance genre. Its ability to evoke rich imagery and deep emotions makes it a timeless addition to any music collection.- Regarding Goa Trance, this one is a pass for me.......
- It’s being reissued in October 2021 with EP bonus tracks, and compilation tracks
- Edited 5 years agoA classic electronic album, never standing still, going from ambient to full on goa trance and back again.
40% of it is top of the league Ambient/Ambient Dub: Abnormal Interference, Panspermia, Area 51 (Nucleonic Mix)
Uforic Undulance is like the leveller on the album, it nods both to ambient and trance.
Implant and Survivors are born of the same mould/riff, for the listening experience/journey it would have benefitted to sequence them together: Implant preceeding Survivors, building from trance/goatrance into full on goatrance.
Dzhopa Dream features a lovely uplifting mid-section prog house/trance, sandwiched between goatrance on either end. A stand out track, the build up to the funky melodic mid-section is worth the wait!
Cydonia is similar, but not as interesting a track as Dzopha Dream, but it has a bit of tribal thrown into it to set it apart.
All in all, one of the standout electronic album of the 90's. - Amazing acid noises, twisted samples, bouncing techno, nutty breaks... this album's just magical. It really is the kind of thing you'd imagine aliens to listen to while out cruising in their flying saucers.
While they can certainly do the whole psytrance and acidy techno thing brilliantly, hypnotic downbeat tracks like 'Area 51' demonstrate their amazing skill with sounds and atmosphere. And the acidy gurgle noises - whooooah! If only they still sounded this good...
