»Imagi:nations«
V.A. (TIP World) CD
Long awaited and
easily fulfilling
everyone’s
expectations.
What else would
you expect -
when TIP appears
again with the »Nation« series - other
than high quality music done by famous
artists from the never petering-out pool of
artists. Although the line up on my promo
disc is jumbled, I can sort out pearls like
the Delta RMX to X-Dream's »intercorporal
stimulator« or the appearance of Sandman
who seemed to have submerged and fortunately
emerges back to the surface to present
us with yet another masterpiece.
Driving synths, powerful groove and the
use of the possible technical circumstances,
this disc is a must to every lover of the unique
TIP sound.
Die TIP-Familie um Raja Ram beglückt ihre
Fangemeinde mit einem weiteren Teil der
»Nations«-Serie und wird allen Erwartungen
mal wieder gerecht. Unter Ausnutzung der
technischen Möglichkeiten wird ein
Trancefeuerwerk entfacht, wie man es von
TIP gewohnt ist. Ein Hinhörer ist auf jeden
Fall der Delta Remix zu X-Dreams »intercorporal
stimulator«. (Ilse)
Jaia
»Fiction« (Digital Structures) CD
Listening to tons of psy trance CD’s you will
find out, this is not the way love goes.
There are so many producers still going the
usual way. No real idea, no sense. Why do
we discuss living, why do we speak about

saving resources when we rubbish the planet
with boring music and plastic? The
»Fiction« Jaia tells deserves to be part of
your life. Seven epic dancetracks in proggy
speeds but with the full on rush of sound
closed by an ambient tune and all this
mixed up by interesting bridges of sound. A
real story of imaginative music. What can I
say? Album of the year? Best one since
Cosma? Buy fast, close your eyes and have
endless fun. Thanks for this album. (kai)
Sieben heldenhafte Dancetracks, mit progressiven
Geschwindigkeiten, aber durchaus
FullOn-Sounds, abgerundet durch
einen Ambienttrack, erzählen eine fantastische
Geschichte. Was soll ich sagen? Album
des Jahres? Das beste Album seit Cosma?
Kauft es schnell, schließt eure Augen und
habt Spaß. (kai)
Jaia
»Orchestra 2.0 E.P./Fiction E.P.«
(Digital Structures) 2x12"
If you still believe in the magic of these 12
inch sized black slices of PVC you have to
live with only getting five tracks of Jaia's
furious album. The first E.P. is already in
the stores and offers the beautiful
»Orchestra 2.0« with a bonus Minilogue
mix at the flip. Seb's and Marcus' hallucinating
electro distortions destroy the smooth
classic arrangement of the original track to
create a clubby base of deep funkyness.
Something totally different, but also cool.
Second 12" will be the »Fiction E.P.« with
four great dance tracks from the album, of
course without the ambient link ups in between.
The tracks on board are the funky
tribal track »Eyengui«, the trancy »From
Tokyo«, the blissful trance house fusion
»Rouge Marine« and the bouncy stomp
»Out Of Control«.
Für die Vinylfetischisten unter euch kommt
das Jaia-Album auch in dieser Darreichungsform
auf den Markt, leider aber nur fünf
der sieben Tracks, und auch auf Ambienteinlagen
müsst ihre leider verzichten. Belohnt
werdet ihr dafür mit einem Minilogue
RMX, clubby, deep und funky. (kai)
Antix
»Twin Coast Discovery«
(Iboga) CD
For sure Antix' debut »Lull« from 2003,
meanwhile considered classical, is one of
the best progressive trance albums so far.
So their new one, »Twin Coast Discovery« is
one of the most expected albums this year.
»Forever Changing« Barton and Hayden
have done something different and went
down into the deepness of progressive
music. Highend production prospecting in
sounds like FREq's, melancholic samples,
checked out grooves and ingenious buildings
with the right vibe at the right place
will guarantee you an experience of free falling.
It's not that collection of happy tribal
hits like »Lull«, but it's definitely a brilliant
flow in great and timeless music. Since
»Lull« is Antix' everlasting summer soundtrack,
»Twin Coast Discovery« will be autumn's
best friend. Spend some time with
this album and listen to it twice.
Erstklassig produzierter Progressive Trance,
melancholische Samples, groovig und mit
der richtigen Vibration am richtigen Ort.
Wenn »Lull« der ewige Sommerhit von
Antix bleiuben wird, ist dieses Album dein
Freund für den Herbst - bestens zum freien
Fallenlassen in geniale Musik. (kai)
