Element- Full Moon (Spirit Zone, 2002)
1. Full Moon 140bpm 8:02
2. Dakota 136bpm 7:29
3. Rise 138bpm 7:35
4. Magic Flow 143bpm 7:55
5. Rocket Exciter 140bpm 7:51
6. Just Dream 140bpm 7:15
7. Turn to Me 140bpm 7:25
8. Outside World 142bpm 6:50
9. Can You Feel Me 133bpm 7:54
First of all, I gotta say that Element hit me hard when they released Transform (and if the bastard that borrowed it to listen and still haven't returned it is reading this- you better return it or when I remember who you are, you'll be sorry!). So even that my policy is that I write only about what I like, I really tike Element so this review, while not positive, comes from a positive place.
This is nothing like Transform. Some very good musical moments (though not comparing to Transform), but very very bad lyrical moments. 3 songs have lyrics, done very well production-wise, but the lyrics, ppl... Anyone remember Modern Talking? That's what it is- Modern Talking. What on earth these guys where thinking? Spirit Zone? Did you listen to the lyrics? Wakey Wakey! Anybody in there?
Here are some quotes:
"baby baby one more day
let me wash your tears away
you take my heart you burn my soul
you blow my mind and I lose control
babe..."
And everybody together now:
"I wanna feel your magic flow, yeah yeah yeah..."
or the real strong one:
"baby baby one more thing
I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring
and if the diamond ring won't shine
we're gonna do it one more time, yeh"
And it goes on. Funny stuff. But also a bit sad for element. Is this what you have to convey to us??? Is that your vision of the full moon experience? I hope that's not the case- I still have Transform in my head, and I can still feel it here in some excellent powerful musical moments like Rocket Exciter.
Bottom line: That's just not it. Some deep musical moments and very shallow embarrassing lyrical moments. Great production, of course. Element- please come back!!! Favorites: 1, 3, 5(!), 6.

I think the problem is:
we was expecting MUCH MORE from Element after the incredible "Transform".
Maybe next will be better...

I don't think so Patient, I'm not into expecting, I try staying surprised at all time. Here I was surprised alright, but in the wrong direction...

Well, expectations is something that any human has about everything.
In this case, after an amazing work like "Transform" (one of my favourites Albums !!!), i think it's natural to expect from Element similar quality on their next productions.
Unfortunately, it didn't happen on "Full Moon" 
I enjoyed the first times i listen to it but after a while the Album loses the initial curiosity and becomes uninteresting.
It lacks inspiration, i guess.
Anyway, Element are Element so i will keep follow, with expectation, next releases from these guys.
Just my opinion. - BEing mySELF |

Very nice music from Element. Great progressive music and top production. I think that their first album (transform) was a little bit better than this but this is great too My favourite tracks here are:Full Moon, Magic Flow and Rocket Exciter. 9/10
