How the hell did this fall under the radar? Whatsamatta with you guys?  There has been a lot of good psy coming from Mexico for awhile now. This release is no exception. Let's go through the tracks:
1. Aerobic Swirling pads right into a thick bassline and kick. Great motion and no wasted psace. Sounds from the left and right slam into me as I am carried along. Delicate melodies sneak in and out between the full-on power. This is melodic to the bone! With the first break at 4'47", we are launched into another racy melodic onslaught. Beautiful.  9.5/10
2. Neovibration This track is a fast paced ride on the melodic express. The sounds are uplifting and I fell that I have been catapaulted to the clouds.  With a break at 2'35" there is an undulating rhythm and a take command lead to guide you through the journey. Another smasher!  9.5/10
3. Hi Thinking Slowly evolving pads are greeted with an agressive bassline. I just cannot avoid shaking my head to this. Subtle breathtaking melodies intertwine as we fade into a break. Smooth!  THis is a great example of how samples are used to enhance a track rather than dominate it. Outstanding job! 9.0/10
4. Master Control Title track and it is a thumper! Powerful if not straightforward bassline permeated with psy all the way round. Well placed space samples and rising climaxes. This has some great production, with sounds creating a wonderful atmosphere.  I love how the breaks are not telegraphed, you can't see them coming. Awesome. 9.5/10
5. Reborn Spacey feel, like I am being passed by those light cycles in the movie Tron.  The bassline skips and jumps amidst the rising psywave. A subtle break which brings even more rising power and melody. We have lasers, stacatto stabs and motion. Another cracker! 9.0/10
6. Chemical Disorder "I see you are involved in illegal medicines more than ever"
More power and rhythm punctuated with a simple melody. Another sweet break and well placed set of samples bring me to more melodies and more power. I don't know how much more of this I can take.  This is probably the weakest track on the CD and I am giving it an 8.5/10!!!
7. Loudness "It's really loud...is it supposed to be that loud?"
Spacey pads, whirling synths and evolving leads bring us right to an active bassline. Powerful melodies dance between lasers, as one melody is quickly replaced by another.  Out of the break, the melodies continue to climax and evolve. This is another corking track.  9/10
8. Teletranceporter Last track and I am running out of synonyms for beautiful. The bassline bounces around as the psy shoots from all directions. This track continues where all of the others left off. Delicious melodies, strong basslines and smooth breaks. So many sounds giving a fantastic overload. 9/10
Conclusion This is uplifting music with power. The melodies are so beautiful to the point of bringing tears to your eyes. I feel this is the best CD out of Mexico yet, maybe the best melodic psy cd I have ever heard. It creates such a beautiful atmosphere that it is a joy to listen to. I am not a DJ, but I suppose that you could put this CD on, let it go, and have plenty of time to hit the bar. This is what I hope Astral Projection will become. I highly recommend this CD as I think it will become a classic. I cannot give any album a perfect mark(why listen to music after that, everything will be a disappointment), but this is as close as I can give. 9.5/10

Indeed, a great release. I discovered it not so long ago. In fact, I am listening to it now, and I think this rocks! On league with artists like Protoculture and Tri-Force, believe me. Worth the money for sure. The cover is cool too, with all those swirling colours... it fits the music contained within perfectly.

Lamat is imo for me the best morning fullon released in 2005,
allthough is so very typical, the crystal clear concept is marvelous...
If you are honest lamat has two typical treble sounds,
his morning tinted climaxes he uses from beginning to end and those little rastaliens talking sounds,
but still this album does it well,
very good are the basslines, this is what I call motivating bassline, what a drive, so perfect...
the atmosphere is very good and sorry but it makes me smile ,
and if you can manage that as a goa or fullon artist I'm very glad and thank you for creating that superrelease,
he's coming to full moon in germany this year but I'm not going to bad (have done it before), have other festivals this year on my agenda,
but in a couple of months a belgian produced compilation 'orientation 1' is coming out and
there will be a lamat vs ephedrix track, and ephedrix is from belgium,s
so thumbs up I would say |
