Some of the tracks, like Kashmir day trip for example remind me of the feeling I get with Are You Shpongled. Not that the music is similar at all really, but there something in that soundscape or something..

How make an easy psy-trance or chill review?
Choose a cd & prefer an album, for example the new Enthéogenic 'Golden Cap'.
Insert the cd in your player, sit down & listen, you can do something else while listening if you want.
Now let's check if the release fits with the 3 next points:
-It's possible to experience a non-stop complete listen of the cd without any stop or skipping passage.
-When the cd is finished, your time perception is alterated : your major desire is to launch again the cd as you think it's just imposible you've just spent around 70 minutes so quickly.
-More you listen to the tunes & more you find out elements that were hidden to your initial awareness's state.
Verdict, Enthéogenic - Golden Cap matches with the 3 previous statements.
What else could be added about this album?
Some general remarks & one anecdote.
Let's begin with the anecdote, unfortunately only french or people who can receive french tv channnels & could verify this. Midnight Eyes could appear to your ears as familiar sounding, why? Because the core of the track comes from a jingle from a midday game 'La Cible' on France2, which i suspect to be produced by our dear loved Helmut & Piers. Actually it's the same short melodic layer developped, agremented , embellished by a whole structure that leads it to become a full tune.
For the musical content, a main idea focuses my attention about Golden Cap.
Entheogenic has decided to operate a risky musical turning in their chill-out productions, they wander off the Psychill like the early Shpongle for driving us toward more electic & original soundscapes but still melodic & making you feel out of your home.
Let's mention that Golden Cap has the most indian sounding. Zero Plus propulses you through a weightlessness's control perdition way in a cosmic configuration. Kashmir Day Trip coulb be, contrarily to what suggests the title, a fresh floating trip through the oriental night ponctuated with muffled percussions. The Solution Machine covers more the hypnotic ambient area. Absphinx takes his bass from the Jazz & borrows his rythmic to the Broken Beat the whole thing dredged with an indian flute melody. Secret Tongues is crossing Drum n' Bass & Funkadelik. Ju closes the album on a climatic downtempo vibe while Sideways is more Dubby & Midnight Eyes appears to be the closest to the former Enthéogenic's sound.
If Enthéogenic productions have today very few in common with their first compositions nevertheless i don't hesitate a single moment for claiming that this album is as essential as the previous ones & even surely more.

I would say they created a new style - chilly dance.
All the songs are dancable, psychedelic and beautiful.
The production is first quality.
10/10
Very recommended!!!

If some of you would've thought outside the box for once and explored other genres as well, you'd know there is a man named Ulrich Schnauss out there who makes kinda like this chilly dance you're all referring to, although without the horrible ethnic chants. Ulrich is the man. His albums 'A Strangely Isolated Place' and 'Far Away Trains Passing By' are pure genius.

i dont hear any simularity between ulrich schnauss & entheogenc...they different sub genre's...i'd say entheogenic has more in common with Kaya Project/ Angel Tears, Shulman & Cell's-phonic peace...which are 'chilli dance' acts...Golden Cap aint no crap!! |

Tastes differ. I hate chanting so it's obvious I wouldn't like this album. And it's a shame too because it could've been so much better without the chants. Maybe someone should remix it. Entheogenic - Golden Cap Revised.

I LOVE the use of ethnic hymns/chants. However, I had high expectations for this album, which weren’t entirely fulfilled; there are great moments in this album no doubt, yet, if I evaluate the album as a whole, I rate it as 8.5/10. IMHO, this album lacks experimentation. Or alternatively, I would’ve appreciated epic sound landscapes throughout the album. I’d hoped for a perfect masterpiece. Nonetheless, tracks like; Golden Caps and Kashmir Day Trip are very original and tremendously exciting to experience.
About chill-out and dancing:
Chill-out is IMHO, by the far the easiest psychedelic genre to dance to.
I forget myself when I dance to chill-out, that period of time which passes by once I start to dance, before my eyes shut and, I stop thinking about how to dance and my sub-consciousness takes over guides my every move, without thought, is greatly accelerated when I listen to chill out. Moreover, I can dance much, much longer and much crazier because of the tempo of the tracks, and the large amount of space available at the chill out zone (most people only go to the chill out to relax).

An album to my taste, somewhere between chill and dance. Most tracks are original and very well produced.
An essential album to have, for all chilly dancers.
Recommended!

i have been tired with this kind of psy-chill using boring ethno-dance samples..it could be better and more innovative for sure!!
i must agree with acidive that ulrich schnauss is a quality & respected artist
p.s check also the new stuff from Kettel
