I reckon that the bass/kick combo is the least important thing in a song imho it's just for keeping the drive and the dynamics on a constant level.

well he is not just a good piano player, but he is one of the most talented composers in Europe right now. And i'm not talking only about psytrance music, but about the work beside the psy scene. He is the composer behind many fameouse bands, from pop, hip hop or house music to rock & jazz.
I know he compose also symphonic music and he worked some movie soundtracks. I've heard some time ago a track from one of his movie soundtracks, made with soprano voices, orchestra & stuff...it sounds unbeliveble !
I think the psy scene really needs professional artists like him right now !
And about the kick and bassline, i am sure he use it with a reason. It doesn't bother me, as long all his basslines sounds diffrent, and he didn't used the same bassline one 2-3 songs like many artists does today. I think that the notes played are more important that the type of instrument he used.

Andrei Oliver Brasovean from Romania was a pioneer of electronic music in the Eastern-Europe region. In the early 90’s he would create Techno and Trance music only to start producing Goa-inspired trance tracks in ‘95-’96. Here he would start the creation of psychedelic fest communities with small parties for the trancevestits in his area. He quickly achieved recognition for his splendid music and live performances around his own country and globe.
Atma’s music is in the vein of pleasant FullOn beats with charming melodies, nice samples and party to the groove. His approach on making a nice ride for the listener with sprinkling flow and heighten observation is what makes his debut album, Beyond Good and Evil so enjoyable in the first place. Granted the album may become fast uninteresting as there isn’t much depth and complexity to sought after, but with charm he definitely manages to make up for his own flaws and boredom.
The best track is easily the title track with its beautiful and longing melodies, and pleasant tempo. I should mention that Fragletrollet/Unknown Cause did an unofficial edit to this track where he actually managed to raise it a couple of points towards the high sky. It was supposed to get released but never happened and today it seems this track is lost beyond rediscovery. Another nice track is the 4th with its hypnotizing and subtle way of entrancing the listener/dancer. It has a good drive and the effects used tickle the heart. Overall this is very nice Full-On album with loads of charm and drive. It is unfortunately too boring in the length to keep me occupied with its dimensions because it contains few surprises and is very predictable and imagination less. But, it is for sure a nice release to have in the collection for times to come and moments to be enjoyed.
Besides his psychedelic trance project, Andrei also works as a music composer and sound engineer for more commercial music bands within House, Dance, Pop, Rock and Hip-Hop, and is frequently involved in original film score productions, theater and orchestral productions. This way he is able to fully use his skills and put food on the table and clothes on his back. There is a reason of why people like Andrei manages to have a success, and the reason is that they, or he manages to expand his own horizon, never letting his skills go to waste in only focusing on one style, one style of music. We all know that to make a living out of producing Psy-Trance is a very difficult thing, so the smart ones uses their talents in varies projects to stay afloat.
The cover art is very beautiful with it's circle of Zodiac signs and lime green variations with cool blue flooring. Kudos.
Almost 3/5 stars
Favorite tracks: 2(!!), 4
