hello .........
surfing through this section of the forum... i was pretty surprised not to see a review of this album....so i did a search ...
i couldnt find a review ... so i thought id start one off ....
heres the track listing ......
1. Bumping sky
2. A place like this
3. E n flow
4. Pull the string
5. Creating life
6. Do you believe?
7. Electric lady
8. Creep cheeky naughty naughty
9. Electro terrestrial
ok ... since this is my first post in this section ... i'll leave the track by track review to the pros..
anyway ..... i think this album absolutely rocks .....one of my top trance albums this yr
this album has some reallly powerfull tracks in it , yet .... its far from the furmula music thats being churned out as of late ...
so hear are my reviews of my fav tracks on the album :
the first track is a great opener .... groovy bassline with an awsome build... nice percussion work with trippy little squelches flying all around the place ....great use of effects in this track ... as well as a kind mini melody (??) kind of thing towards the end... perfect leaser for what lies ahead
track 2 is my favourite on the album ... very dancy trakc ... with an incredible breakdown at about 5 min ... followed by an awsome melody ...
upto track 5 ... the tracks continue in somewhat the same fashion, i.e dancefloor smashers ... dont mistake this for meaning that they sound the same .. each track on this album is gem ...
from track 6 onwards ... the album gets a little more experimental ...
track 7 is great trance track with lots of wiers noises and has ggreat breaksy percussion work
trakc 8 moves on to psy - breakbeat track ... very inteligent breaks with lots of little miny melodies and sounds swirling about .... awsome
track 9 ends the album with a downtempo track ... nice ambient track wiht a great groove to it ...
all in all... i think this album is a must buy ..\
the great part about this album is that it works as a whole .... meaning that even though most tracks on this album will do considerable damage on the dance floor ... the album still sounds like a whole ... and not just "dance floor killers" strung together ...
repect to hydrophnic and nano.

Great production with nice vibes all around. Electric Lady is a killer track, my favorite on the CD- I never want it to end. |

very chunky and choppy with lots of energetic break-beats and loud emotional melodies, I really like the fact they use so many break beats it makes the songs very driving, this is for sure not under a formula. |

Wonderful album!!  I play it nearly everyday.
I was blessed by hearing them play at the Earthdance and I was trully in heaven hearing most of the tracks from this album on a real good system. Made me love it even more!!
My favs: 1-9!! Best of course is "A Place like this"

But whether dragon tears are bitter or sweet
depends entirely on how each man perceives the taste :: |

yep, a great album
definitely not the average trance album, this one is innovative all the way from track 1 to track 9.
Good work hydrophonic! |

I didn't like it  After listening to their old track Disorient Express and this album... I can only say that they've gone the completely wrong way... but hey that's just my oppinion.
How am I supposed to hallucinate with all these swirling colors distracting me! |

Wow!
This album is one of his kind. A real masterpiece!!
It's rare when i can say that i can play every tracks off an album. that's one like it! except maybe for the last two tracks that are down tempo or have no kick. Dimensional, Extatic and groovy full on sound, this will freak you out! |

Good Music!!
I love Hydrophonic !!
They put some breakbeat element into Psy-Trance music.
I really love this kind of psytrance.
I think this maybe another direction of psytrance.
Track 2,4,6 is my favorite!
Nano record is also my favorite lable!
Hydrophonic GOGOGO!!
