Hi All !
Psycraft's third album released and it's a good chance to review some quailty full-on. The album called Computech and it released on Hommega Records. Alon Algrasi & Nir Sidon are the names behind this project.
1. Dirtbag (remix) 80 BPM
The album start with nice relaxing remix by Psycraft for Brad Sucks lyrics and vocals. I don't have more words to add, just a cool song with electronic production. I must say it's original opening...nice idea.
2. Feel the vibe 140 BPM
Now the real story begin. Psycraft really diserve for a good word about their excellent sound. This track build well, it start with slow kick with a lot additional elements like the vocals, effects and scratches. Alon & Nir don't start with full power tune, however they create here the vibe of whole album.
3. Borderline (remix) 145 BPM
After the first relaxing remix for Brad Sucks, Psycraft mix him now on full power ! beautiful singing which fit perfect to Psycrat's line. They just played all the way with Brad's vocals and produce a dance floor hit. Alon show us his guitar skills and add more power.
(for those who want to know Brad's lyrics, it wrote inside the album cover).
4. Bad girl 145 BPM
Now it's time to feel some groove...Psycraft's groove. I'm not so connected with this one, because I think it's will bored the dance floor. It can used as a nice building for a full-on set but defently not more than that.
5. Electro panic (remix) 145 BPM
The album's hit !!! the remix version is much more powerfull than the original version. A dance floor bomb without any doubt...pumping baseline and fat kick with amazing sound and of course the Panic's vocals which used well here. For me it's the best track in the album, you won't find here even one boring second - power, power , power ! way to go Psycraft for this brilliant remix.
6. On the edge 145 BPM
After the last bomb, Psycraft keeps with their concept - burn the dance floor. It's kind of tracks which jump any crowd and make them fly...excellent full-on track with all necessary elements - vocals, fast baseline , danceable kick and even some nice melodi inside.
7. Law of karma 143 BPM
WOW ! again amazing sound ! I never heard high quality sound like here. Groovy kick and slow baseline...also some beautifull guitar riffs by Alon. I would not dig with this track but I must say one more good word about the production here...rare production.
8. Computech 145 BPM
One the best Psycraft's tracks ever...master-peace ! after 02 minutes and 30 seconds came in awesome brake that I could not hold my self and stand up to dig in my room 
If you ask me how full-on track should be like, I'll tell you like this one.
My mercy goes to the crowd's legs after they will finish dig for this tune  amazing !!
9. Night drive 145 BPM
This track written together with Guy Peled aka Beat Hackers and thats explain the guitars in the middle of the track don't excpect for rest here, because you won't find it. if you don't like risks, play this tune - it will do the job for you for sure good work by Alon & Nir & Guy.
10. Inside your heaven 142 BPM
If you think Psycraft will close their album with some down-tempo track like most of the albums - you wrong ! happy track with unique atmosphere, just perfect for the morning time. The vocals here belongs to Doron Yitach.
I think it is the best full on album of 2005 with the best sound I've ever heard.
I must pay your attention for this amazing cover which made by Gal & Shahar Hemo.

This album is the deception of the year IMO.
Normal full on dressed on a very good production, but this is just not enough.
A lot of vocals in a lot of tracks, soooo commercial! Just too commercial, nothing more.
Too much power and almost no psychedelia. Too much guitars!!!! Ohh my God, where are we going????
The best track IMO is Computech which was already released, please don't start with that: "but it was mixed" argument, otherwise everyone will start to release every track twice. The VA - Psychedelic Academy has the almost complete track.
The album has tracks that work on the dance floor, but are no psychedelic enough to justify being played in a serious DJ Set IMHO.
Except for the very good production, common stuff… You wanna be the same as everyone else? I hope you don't, so just don't buy this one and save the money for something that can really be considered psychedelic trance.
Respect!

Well, I'm very disappointed from this one. I heard it in a store and felt sad. They gave up on their original style; which was on the first 2 albums, to sound like Astrix and I don't mean just a typical full on. Its copycat of Astrix. The border line is nice one, but that's it. I went to the store to buy psycraft; and heard Astrix. Anyway, good luck Nir & Alon; thank u for the firsT 2 albums & singles.

i heard some of the tracks and even saw a video online for the first track and i must say that this music doesnt talk to me anymore. everything is super polished, nice and tweaked, loud, clear and crisp but... its not psychedelic to my ears... not according to my definition of the word. psycraft used to have music with a bit more "teeth" to it, i liked that much more. this is a step i noticed from several hommega artists into a direction i really dont like and am turned off by... mainly the vocals are my problem. lots of talent by these guys, but they choose to go a diffrent direction then what i like.... too bad many hommega artists are doing that lately...
computech (T8) is a very good track, but nothing else talks me here.
well, dj'ing wise- at least i still have XI,B&W and Goblin who most of the time keep it serious and mean with a bit of a nasty edge... the rest of the hommega artists are becoming home/car only tracks...

infected mushroom didn't release an album this year but we have this cd and with no doubt it is worthy substitute. very good release!
You wanna be the same as everyone else? I hope you don't, so just don't buy this one and save the money for something that can really be considered psychedelic trance.
2 full on: recently you wrote positive review on miditec's album. what's going on? i think that release was not much more psychedelic than this one. eh? or maybe yours new isratrance team status affected your opinion this way?
is it polish? - yes.
is it with lot of guitars/vocals? - yes.
is it commercial? - yes.
but the scene need it. cause without top commercial level that give it a possibility to develop there is no underground and no future.
not psychedelic enough? maybe. but all in all it is not a reason to advise not to buy it. espessially for isratrance team member. Spiritual guides are to practice and serve in ways that cultivate awareness, empathy, and wisdom. |

So what if he is isratrance team member? So he should fake and say good thing about this album? Let ppl say what they want, good or bad things. This album will not do anything to trance imho, because it will fade away vary fast, unlike the first 2 album. Commercial? Most of the commercial albums pay the price of being astrixss. Same boring non original clubby full on.

The fact that I'm an Isratrance Team member does not mean I must like everything. And it does not affected my opinion:
I really prefer the Miditec album than this one. I admit that the track Computech is better than all tracks on the Miditec album, but overall I prefer the Miditec.
Also the Miditec's album is not being overplayed all over the globe like this one. And I think the Miditec's album is less commercial than this one.
Respect!

2 Nathan: its ok to say whatever you want but i think that saying smth like ...just don't buy this one and save the money... not realy good for man who is trying to promote the scene. but you know it is only my local opinion anyway...
Also the Miditec's album is not being overplayed all over the globe like this one.
2 full_on: maybe you need to visit russia, bro nobody is playing psycraft here. just mindblowing darkish stuff

Voice of all, I respect your opinion, but imho if he chose to worn ppl to not buy an album it's a good thing as same as recommending about good music.
