Title: Human Spirit
Artist: Ovnimoon (Hector Stuardo)
Label: Synergetic Records
www.synergetic-records.net
Catalog Number: SYNCD017
Style: Progressive Psytrance
I got this album (took it from ma friend though ;-) ) few days ago and its still in my head and it looks like its not comin' out at all! If you like positive sunny progressive psytrance, this is the soundtrack of the summer for you!!
1 - Green Eyes (feat. Duca)
Album opens with this nice but totally unexpected collaboration between Ovnimoon and Duca from Serbia. I couldnt figure out on which language are samples from beginning but it sounds kinda mystic. Nice rhythm layers, slow and minimalistic, deep lovely pads and chilling chords are just so beautifull!!! Just imagine yourself on a tropical beach... ahh great. At 6th minute there are samples of chilean? man speaking. Sounds like old shamanic trance tunes. And those acid 303s... Here is just everything on its place! Pure 10 for this ;-)
02 - Sunset
'It's OK.... It's Allright'  :):) A bit faster track with tribal approach and, of course, deep floating melodies which are filling atmosphere to perfection. Melodies are here very definied here. Nice fx work too.. ;-) Very balanced track without certain story it is just so chilled and worryless, one of those tunes to let go..The name says all, this is a tune for sunset!!
03 - Sandal Water
Track starts with nice sunny pad and nice psytrance kick. Definately party tune. Vocoded samples and neat dancey bassline (blue i think?). Positive atmosphere and just a bit psy screamers, but not too much. Like in previous track, you can feel the balance and harmony between all song elements which is just soooo rare to hear these days... Good work mate ;-)
04 - Groove Soul
This one shoots with clubby chords and fluffy kick from the first second! This is club peace, housey touch in here ;-) Cool delayed bassline which is so good for warmup. Short and simple percussion work just gives so much to the atmosphere of the track. Maximally clean pads are "so beautiful"...  Pattern after pattern, brake after brake it just tells you its story... Nice dj tool
05 - Hold Me
Here we slows down again ;-) Warm uplifting pads and that sexy vocal is just irresistible! It makes you smile and your body dance!!! ;-) Electric bassline with subbed lead just fills the story. Another combination of few simple chords makes this track so nice to listen. Pure progressive utopia :-D
06 - Human Spirit (feat. El Zisco, Mixed Emotions and Vivz)
' We will show them that human spirit is still alive' Title track brigs so much joy!! Everything in here is in the beauty of simple things. Bassline reminds me of some El Zisco's trax from his album, groovy and jumpy. I imagine hearing this somewhere high in the mountains, near the clouds... Again, ,everything is in harmony (i think this track enjoys itself LOL ;-) joke) This one will definatelly be open air festival hit... So uplifting ambience and hidden energy in here... What can i say, he did it again...
07 - Ramirufias
Maybe best track on album. Ethno influenced for sure but always with deep Ovnimoon feel. Deep morning psytrance atmosphere and uptempo track comparing to the rest of album. Female voice just passes through you and those pads chills you like fresh breeze in the morning..! Another open air oriented, i think. What can i say, just beautifull.
08 - Turn Off The Light
Totally morning progressive psy trance. Strong bass, strong kick and strong rhythm. Only i didnt liked lead in the middle of the track (around 4 minutes)..Emo track for sure... Just go with the flow... :-D
09 - Tic Tac (Rmx Of Feuerhake)
Album closes rmx of Feuerhakes last years hit Tic Tac. After deep melodic intro, track evolves into nice morning progressive piece. Fits into the rest of the album.
Final Word:
Production of album is at extremely high level, every sound is at its place. Clean leads, basslines are always groovy and uplifting. Also, youll notice harmony in all tracks and always present emotions. Its everything about human spirit. This is extremely deep album. I think it will be loved both from progressive trance/house and psytrance people. I can say for myself that this is one of 3 best albums i've heard this year in progressive psytrance style! So, its positive, melodic, emotive and uplifting. REALLY RECOMMENDED
10/10
From Psyshop:
Hector Stuardo's, known as Ovnimoon, is one of the precursors of Psy- and Progressive Trance...
...in Chile. Playing for more than 9 years Ovnimoon spinned records on most of the big events in his country, like Loveparade, Earthdance and countless gigs nationwide. As producer Ovnimoon provides a wide range of styles from Chillout to Psytrance and has released already on labels like Spliff Music, Geomagnetic TV, YSE, Groove Control and even on Warner Rec.
After his debut-album 'Camanchaca', a ritual journey through ambient and trance, Ovnimoon is back with his second masterpiece: Human Spirit again out on Synergetic Records - his homebase and the label that discovered this young artist.
Human Spirit reflects his musical evolution since the first album. Progressive Morning Trance blends in a delicate way with (Deep) House, Electro, Psychedelic. This new Ovnimoon album comes with collaborations with artists like Mixed Emotions from Israel, El Zisco (Chile-Germany), Viviana Lemos (Argentina) and Duca from Serbia. Human Spirit is full of musical joy, positive messages and classy ideas but never loosing the intense feeling Ovnimoon is loved for. A timeless masterpiece for the sunny moments at parties, and also for homelistening.

Finally somebody has posted the review I was too lazy to write. This album has been one of my most listened to over the summer, was a nice surprise, not having heard any Ovnimoon before.
My favourite track is definetly SandalWater, but the whole album offers a nice, warm sonic journey.
What hits me in the face when I listen to this album is the warm, hearty, human, soulfull vibe... not just cold 'machine' sounds, it is clear that a lot of love went into this release.
My only criticism is that a few tracks build up to end sounding a bit too 'retro', 303s etc, and the overall production could be more polished.
I get the impression that Chile must have a sweet trance scene to nurture this artist, and I want to thank him for this ray of sunshine that sticks out among a lot of recent crappy, generic releases.
Am looking forward to the next one!

Yep, got it a while back, but due to a very busy life back then I never got around to listen to it in its entirety. Now I did when I found this one buried somewhere I have to say: Great stuff!! I've put it now where it belongs, together with Ovnimoon's newest album. If you like progressive uplifting psytrance you'll love this. Maybe even a bit more diverse than his newest effort, so get this while it lasts!
