The album is nice, some cool melodies and very well produced, somehow it makes my ears bleed after a while, im not that big fan of the kick thats being used. Nice technoish perc's and cool drive in the tracks. Love the orchestrial sounds. Still like i said the kick and bass is not doing it for me.
Need to check it out on a big pa sometime tho.

The album sounds outstanding to me after listening to it for a couple of weeks. It is very interesting how they blended the techno into the "full on" framework, it got the hypnotic edge from techno while keeping the psy strength and dance floor pleasing characteristic. Add a couple of pinches of "classic atmospheres" and don't forget to stirs it to keep it slightly twisted and we have a winner. 
Did I forgot to mention the 24 pages illustrated booklet? It really adds some to the experience, I found the colors very well employed and matching the concept. 
I reviewed their debut album ( http://forum.isratrance.com/principles-of-flight-night-time-lullabies/9-102631/page2/ ), and I must stress out that it has the same rare and mesmerizing effect when home listening, which stem from the facts that these are concept albums and that they present some short and others not so short classic interludes that make the bridge between the proper psytrance tracks.

About dance floor effectiveness, this quote from Hujaboy, who IMO just delivered the best full on album up to now in 2009, leaves it clear: This is a fucking hot album to spin at a party. Enough said! 
It is hard to pick favorites, but right now I'm specially charmed by Charon the Ferryman and The Tavern... It will change with time, as usually happens with good albums.
All in all, as the first guys to review it made clear (by the way very good reviews  ) this is an instant classic, a rare gem that you will still be playing years from now, just take the time to appreciate it for a few times and it will grab you by the ears!

Principles of Flight are Remy and Pierre from France. They have been around the scene for sometime and have already released a album on Boom! Records called Night Time Lullabies. The duo has now released their second studio album Chaos Opera on Timecode Records, who recently signed them. Chaos Opera like the first album is also a concept album and tells the story of Eleanor and Edward- twins in a land devoid of color. Its an original story written by Pierre and provides a unique perspective when listening to the album.
Principles of Flight have always been known for their techy influence and uncanny integration of classical music elements into their brand of psychedelic music, which is something that is very noticeable on this album. The track list is divided up into 8 full length tracks and a number of wonderful interludes which serve as transitions between the aforementioned tracks. This interesting structure certainly adds to the feeling of listening to a story, rather than a bunch of tracks. Into the land of Black and White is a well constructed epic interlude that reminds me of something straight out of the Pirates of the Caribbean with the epic feeling of something all consuming coming. The title track is one that begs for attention with some really solid techy percussions and enough soundscapes to swallow you whole, and melodies- really beautiful work. From the very start The Chase (T11) has been my pick from the album- rolling at 148bpm- it is a hard hitting rumbler of a tune, especially with that bass line of just pure business and leads that screech and squeal as the chase goes on. Edward to the Rescue (T10) is another interesting tune with a very grim yet dreamy feel to it. Especially the wonderful and absorbing pads these guys use, it lends the track a near nightmarish feel. The Queen of the Dead (T3) produced with Talpa- another master in his own light - is another scary tune with haunting melodies that take me back to my childhood hearing bed time stories. The Black Mass, Cerberus... aargh - all the tunes are rock solid. The techno influence is seen more in the unique percussion work this act puts forward and the melody work is often haunting and unique. A colorful End is another track worth mentioning separately because of its unique drum and bass nature, and more so because it perfectly finishes the album. An opera is the only thing that I can associate with this album and in that respect I think that Pierre and Remy have certainly got the job done.
Recomendation: If you enjoyed Night Time Lullabies you will surely enjoy this monster ride which runs mostly between 147 and 148bpm. A perfect album to drop tracks from in the middle of the night to give a crowd that extra push (although serious DJs should consider buying the digital release with tracks edited to be more DJ friendly), and all in all just very beautiful music. Pierre and Remy have done it again creating music with a soul and a mind of its own. Big up to Timecode for another stellar release.
Favorite tracks:2, 4, 5, 7, 10-12.
