Aaaaaaaaah another release who caresses my ear, well the album is called morning glory so I think you can expect what kind of trance this will be…
This album is indeed concept morning fullon, but indeed morning, very good when the sun is rising @ an open air festival, happy melodies and smooth climaxes…
The fact is comparing to other morning fullon artist ibojima isn’t that super fast at all… it’s very subtitle morning fullon in baseline and is melodies, softly surfing on the sounds, enjoying each sound, the formula is still the typical morning fullon formula like we are experiencing it as mainstream psy trance the latest 3 years…
Although it’s very morning it’s imo not cheesy at all, ibojima manages to keep it just under the level of being over the top and subtle creates each sound over and over…
The patterns of baselines change a lot, not in the tracks, they usually use the same pattern they choose in each track but suddenly create another pattern when a new track starts…
Like most morning trance tinted this is very one layer, one happy sound after another,
The advancement is a combination is little rastaliens speaking sounds combined with atmospheric synths…
The whole concept is morning, this is trance created to ‘touch’ you in a specified way…
I like them, I prefer artist who don’t want to score to be the fastest or to be the most melodic on the market but just create their own concept… the baselines are sometimes very hard, a bit progressive minded but then again in other tracks pure morning fullon as we know…
What is typical, well they created their ‘sound’ and some different sounds for there advancement and use it over and over again in each track but reformed, consequence is if you don’t like the sound you don’t like the cd, what is often with morning fullon…
Well I like the concept, it’s very good for home listening, totally not nervous, not overloaded but satisfaction at the right moment…
Well done ibojima 
as debut release (if I’m not wrong) you score pretty good imo,
Can’ wait for the next album

1. Alkaloids from Here
We start off with some water running, some electric farts, a flute, and that's it for an intro. Bring in the bassline! The flute makes an appearance again, after which there's a break with someone trying to give this tune an ethnic feel. Fortunately it is kept to a minimum so it doesn't ruin the track. We're now halfway down the track, and only now it really starts going. Lot's of FX giving this a psychedelic pinch, great flow, and the atmosphere definately has a morning feel to it. Another break where the ethnic vocal makes a re-appearance, and then it's into morning heaven with a little melodic part thrown in for good measure. All in all it's a very formulaic tune, but it works. Not a bad opener.
2. Morning Glory *
Ok, I kind of had it with all the ethnic vocals used in tunes these days without them adding anything substantial. Well, they're back here, though like track one, fortunately not used too much. Bassline has a bit darker atmosphere. I must say I definately love the amount of groove in here. This will definately kick up some dust at the summer festivals. The track slowly builds towards a break, which for me makes me want to rip my hair out. You guessed it, the vocal's back. Again, it's short, but it feels like an intrusion on a great flow. Anyways, there's a lovely flute thrown in, and we're back on the road. The last minutes of the track clearly show why this track was named Morning Glory. This will definately put a smile on many a face! I'll overlook the vocals I've heard as they are sparingly used. Kickass tune!
3. Berzerk
Ibojima teams up with Txiki Shaman for this little morning stomper. The intro is blessedly devoid of any ethnic vocals, so my fingers are crossed this track won't be spoiled. Decent intro too. Bass is thrown in, and some filtered vocals, and they work well fortunately. After a little break the track really gets going. Lots of groove in this track, it keeps on driving. But that's also where the problem lies in this track. Though it has a lot of the ingredients right, it feels rather monotone. There's not a lot going on besides the groove doing the business. The string work is not really all that interesting. Too bad, cause there was some potential for this track to get somewhere.
4. Organic Visions
Ah, this is how I like my cup of morning trance. Lots of FX, a mysterious, haunting atmosphere, great drive. There comes a break.....and what the hell is that?!? A remake of terminator? They actually recycled the terminator soundtrack. Well, they're forgiven. For one, it actually brought a smile to my face, and two, it only lasted a couple of bars. The track is back on course, and I'm digging where it's going. The first track where I actually like the samples they used. The last couple of minutes it all comes together in a satisfactory rundown that gets your feet moving. Decent.
5. Computerized
Well, the album till now fortunately managed to stay clear from being fluffy, but it seems we have to dip our toes in those waters with this track. A string that would have Tiesto drooling like a little baby pretty much dominates the first five minutes, after which it gets a bit more full-on, but it lacks atmosphere or spirit. It doesn't go anywhere, and it will definetely not pick you up after a night of stomping on the darker arts of psy. A half-hearted attempt at best.
6. Nature Elements
We're greeted by another one of those infamous ethnic vocals as an intro to a track that seems to be the fastest on the album. The track somehow reminds me of a crossbreed between Protoculture and Wizzy Noise. There's a definate drive to this track and a lot of subtle string work. Sounds great doesn't it? Unfortunately this track suffers from the same syndrom as track five. It lacks variation, and it doesn't really go anywhere. It's better than track five, but only because it has a bit more drive to it. Nothing special here really.
7. Voices from above*
With this track Ibojima seems to redeem himself. This is a great morning stomper where all the elements to make a great trip are present. It's fast driving dancefloor fodder. It has loads of groove, and pretty much lacks a whole lot of melody, which works great in this track. This is a track I'd love to hear on one of the festivals this summer. Will sure as hell get the crowd moving.
8. Ocean Waves*
We're back in the realm of subtle string wiork, and I must say this track stands out on the album in that department. There's a great energy going on here, supported by a driving bassline which makes my head go up and down uncontrollably. Might have something to do with the tray of red-bull I just consumed. Anyways, the track keeps on goin and manages to retain the energy and drive, without getting too cliche'd. Again, it is pretty formulaic, but why try to change something if it actually works. And that it does. Excellent track in my book!
9. Caps of Ambience.
Well, the closing track is what is considered an obligatory slice of ambient down-tempo chillage. If acoustic guitars, pan-flutes and laid back grooves is your thing, you'll love this as a closing track. For me it didn't work too well, though musically this track might even be considered one of the better of the album. It felt a bit fake to me. Like the track is posing as something really deep, without actually being so. It just didn't stick.
Favorites: 2, 7, 8(!)
Rating: 7/10
All in all I'd say this is a decent piece of morning fodder. There's three tracks that really do the business, four that are ok, and two that really shouldn't have been on the album whatso-ever in my book. Yes it is formulaic, yes it pretty much has been done before, but the production is good, there's some sick tracks that'll get the floor burning, so it pretty much does what it aims to do: get people moving. Besides that the album manages to stay clear of getting too fluffy (most of the time). If only producers would stay away from the ethic vocal samples, they are starting to bum me out. |

Amen to that. That's why I'm not buying this one. There isn't enough here to warrant a purchase in my book. Average at best and the ethnic sampling bugs the hell out of me.

I have to say, I was stunned by the terminator melody in organic visions. And computorized has this mysterious element that reminds me of some movie too, but I feel like I heard it from somewhere before. It's incredible as well. |

Nice to know I'm appreciated. You just don't read the reviews where I'm positive about albums. And isn't it your philosophy to be always positive? You should read those reviews as well... What are Ibojima anyway? Friends of yours??

I strongly agree with this, this is an excellent album. Plus, I always liked the terminator melody, so it's nice to see it in a track. |

This is surprisingly good. I totally overlooked this album back when it came out but gave it a fair listen just recently. There is a lot of full-on psytrance that masquerades as "morning trance" without providing much more than an energetic drive and a little melodic activity. Morning Glory successfully delivers strong melodic themes and warm morning atmospheres. Check it out if you're looking for the real sunrise sound.
