Ok, better late then never. Just got this excellent album, and it didn't age yet. Noosphere deliver a fresh diverse album, touching lots of spots on the known trance space and exploring some new uncharted territories as well. Fun, groovy, everchanging, psychedelic, strong mind factor- great cover as well.
They start in your face right from the start- rock'n'roll!!! Great percussive interphase and back to business. Excellent- who said full on can't be original? Then it's time for Plan-B (T2)- good kick change move- very nice opening. Atmospheric melodies. Crunch. Hypnotizing groove. Vector's next. Well- everything have been already said. After all these parties it's still a joy to listen and to dance to. Anenomy is a down tempo break with beautiful mysterious touching lines. Then we move to driving percussion with happy, grabbing groove. Great. Waterproof (T6) is a nice chilled blusey piece, very relaxed and with a totally drunk melody. The Return (T7) reminds me of old Etnica stuff in feel- and that is a good thing. Changes (T8) is the only fall down here- and not that it's not a good track- it's an excellent loungy hypnotic piece- it's just that it's totally out of place here, and should have been left for another more suitable place. Things really change with Quicksand, which besides the great name, is a sneaky twisted tune that will sure make you smile. Pure joy. Captain Proton (T10) is my favorite here, with Vector being everywhere for a long time now. Melodic psytrance at it's best- just the way I like it- so much feel! Can't wait to play it pitched up in a morning somewhere in nature. A second team up with Marcus Michael (after Vector) ends the story- the most aquatic piece in this Aqua story.
Bottom line: It's been a while since an album got stuck in my changer for weeks- that says all, I think. Just buy it- that's all. Favorites: 1, 3(!!), 5-7, 9(!), 10(!), 11.

Sure you're right Shahar ,it's never too late foe speaking about some stuff like Noosphere - Aqua.
I agree with you, it's a very good album and i also like the little strange character on the cover.
About the music ,my hilights are:
Plan B, Anenomy & Captain Proton.
I like also :these ones:
Hyperfocus, The return,Waterproof Quicksand & Expect The Unexpected (a bit more electro sounding).
A very eclectism album with 11 tunes (that's rare nowadays to get a cd really well fill) with a gloomy atmosphere which soars over the global content.
For me it's one of the best 2002 release.
mark:9/10
