Human Blue - misStArRyAs Xperience ( Transient, Oct. 2006 )

Track List:
1. Womb - 9:21 - 138 bpm
2. Black_Valley.org - 8:30 - 143 bpm
3. Therpsichore - 8:38 - 142 bpm
4. Zero_tonic passion - 9:49 - 143 bpm
5. Disco Code - 9:11 - 143 bpm
6. Das Fingerwaltz - 9:17 - 136 bpm
7. Galactic Fire - 9:16 - 140 bpm
8. Weightless Waitress - 9:44 - 138 bpm


Human Blue is Dag Wallin, an experienced producer that released a lot of tracks on different mediums for a long time. I think it's safe to call him a veteran in our beloved psyscene, after all it’s his fifth album. This is the second release of Transient Records after its resurrection. Transient is a London based label that was inactive for about one year, but now it seems they are back. There is no mention to the tracks' time or bpms.]
The mastering was made by Charles Michaud (Triptych/Solead/Motion) and everything seems to be at the right spot.
The artwork was made by Fredrik Oscarsson (mblem) and shows a plane from Human Blue Airlines, a fictitious trip company that guaranties a non stop service for your ear.

The album begins at 138 bpm with Womb, a long melodic journey with a proggy touch, this clearly exposes the album diversity. Right now I just forgot about all those killa full on tunes, this is deep, involving psychedelic music. The next 4 tracks oscillate between 142 and 143 bpm, and the last 3 tracks are slower ranging from 140 to 136 bpm. The music does not hit you and run, it approaches you slowly and talks to you, allowing you to answer in your own introspective language.

Maybe dropping some words about my favorite tunes will give you all a better picture of this stunning release. Black_Valley.org was the first one to really catch me, it happened the first time I heard the online samples. It's a steady track, with a pinch of that old Goa atmosphere, focused on structure and melodies. Zero_tonic passion's melodies haunt me these days, it stays in my mind, not to mention it's wonderful to dance to. Disco Code is the first track with spoken samples, a little bit more energy and maybe the most dance floor friendly track in the album. Das Fingerwaltz is another favorite here, it definitely sounds like progressive psytrance to me, and it’s one of the most psychedelic as well.

I’m sure a lot of people will fall for Therpsichore and Weightless Waitress (excellent track name) as well, maybe even me in a couple of weeks.

This music is exceptionally good for home listening, maybe because all tracks have a well worked intro, and develop slowly, giving the impression of a continuous flow. Congratulations to Transient Records for releasing this amazing album.

As a trivia I’d like to add that Therpsichore means “delight of Dancing” (some Greek muse or something), and I would like to ask what/who is SARA X, a name formed by the caps lock letters on the album’s name misStArRyAs Xperience.

Recommendation: I recommend this release to everyone, specially if you like full on music based on structure rather than on build ups and explosions this was developed for you. What we have here is 74 minutes of carefully engineered and previously unreleased music. I'd mix most of these tunes with some Neurobiotic and Nano releases, and I think a couple of them can fit smoothly into a progressive set. That's the new Human Blue album, check it or be square.

Favorites: 2(!), 4(!), 5, 6(!), 7, 8.

Therpsichore and Weightless Waitress are my favourites - overall a very good album, bringing back some of the oldschool scando-progressive sounds. Maybe the album is a bit faster than expected though, but works very well.

I agree totally, very well structured tracks, the album gives that feeling of being back in the oldschool kitchen again...reminds me a little of the tracks on System7's SeventhWave.

Unfortunately the production could have been better...imho.           Imagination is more important than knowledge...

A superb album. I can't say anything more about it really. I had my doubts about it initially, especially after his rather standard chill release. But the execution of the tracks is marvellous. We start with a rather easy-going track 1, then track 2,3,4,5 are stormers, melodic AND psychedelic at the same time. Track 6 is a break with more easy listening and then we round off the album with 7 and 8 which lean more towards a mixture of old Human Blue style mixed with newer influences. A stellar effort IMO. No bad tracks and flawless in every aspect. Good going for a 4th album, so let's hope for more of this           "Subconscious unravels at the point of death, and all time it has known erupts into a moment. As death extinguishes us, so we become it."

groundbreaking cd!!! top of all tops. all trañks are very trippy, involving, structuralistic, hypnotic and... they have volume (dont know how to say better: they are like 3d pictures where you need to re-focus your eyes to see them)... fuck! just great!

Business as usual for Human Blue. When other old timers are too busy sounding like the youngsters, this guy continues to develop his own style. The trademark progression and the euphoric melodies all are here. At times they sound a bit too much and not subtle enough but most of the time it works just fine. Extra Kudos for the Lost sample on Disco Code
