Been three years since the highly commercial remix album. Only heard a few tracks of that but i've always been a fan of their music. Funky playfull, sarcastic, whatever. Loads of fun and trippy groove. Of course their Children of the Doc project will be forever more interesting but let's just check out this new (solo) album of Udi Sternberg aka DJ Goblin as the rumour goes this album has a lot more to offer than the saturated, boring, neurotic and ever repeating Isrealian trance scene.
Intro 0:29
Wanna heal yourself? Is that it, is that why you came?
It's not an accident you're here.
Suddenly you're healing...
Goa Human Experience 8:11
Here we go, smooth pads, clicks and kicks, some familiar sounds, new rhythms and structures... Nice chilled and breaked intro, a sound of like a chair moving. Then a kick, good storytelling and scene-setting. Definitely a proggy touch to things, but not very prominent.
Calmly goes on, trippy vibes and stabs. A sort of electro break and then back to dancing. Trippy sample-fucking with something about God  Grooves on on a low bpm. Pretty minimal grooves, no real melodies in this part. By the end there is one arp playing, it's a very visual and scenic track. Lots of elements allow you to visualize easy. Good tale.
Birth of a Pitched Wave 9:07
Proggy stomper, or so it starts, Housy, electro, you name it, the lower bpm class. Then some funky riff, pretty silly, pretty funny. Some funny pauzes and then a build-up. Yeah this funky house baby!! Psysex house!! Haha never guessed i'd hear this from this guy. Guess it was a bad thing Yoni leaving the duo single as this guy is now aiming for the same type of career. Not a bad track but very weird to hear this from a project like this. He'd better changed names 'cause it's a dent on the name psysex tbh. Passed half of the track it gets ultra-cheesy... wow why did i start reviewing this crap album?? i'm just gonna go vomit now and then be back. The end is a bit better but still fucking cheesy in a boring sense. If i wouldn't know it was psysex and gave me a few beers i could probably still have a bit of fun on this but knowing it's psysex hmmm... not done imo.
Hologram 9:00
Reverb on the kick and some funky riff, yihaa! Clicking and skippin' dance time. Solid progressive psysex dance power! Pretty trippy sounds and good housy party feel. If all proggy tracks were like this he would have one killer album!!
The Message 9:46
Piano, samples, nice intro on this one. A bit more psysex in this one luckily! Some familiar sounds and techniques. Then it goes all proggy again. Not liking it. By the half it gets better again with some real melodies and rhythms. A cinematic break is next, and back in with a strong groove. It's trippy, somewhat half-assed, but still intense vibes. Some sounds i dislike but it's ok. Very special track who shifts in many directions. Difficult to have a solid opinion on it but i'd rather say it's too commy.
Frectus 7:40
Next is again funky prog-ish-from-a-far, with a hard and deep bassline, quite nice! It seems more uptempo than the others. Nice intro also! Deeply groovy, pumping progressive. Honestly better than those before! Some uneasy darkpsy-ish sounds, excellent crazy atmo! W00t mad funk1ness now!1! This I like, funny contrast with the other songs. This has all the psychedelic madness psysex used to have, though slightly altered of course. But honestly a good PSYSEX track. The melody in the end is just perfect!
Megasex 12:17
Yes! After the first minute, it looks like it's the same as above! Trippy leads, solid setting! Delivers 99% the psysex drive! Tracks like 4 days of madness vaguely come to my mind. Very elaborate and entertaining piece of trance! Also very long which heightens the dance experience!!
Inertia
This one was the only i already had heard before. This track is together with Marcel V.O.R from the Brazilian project 2Hi. The song is a one-note bassline stomper in the likes of Brenner Power or Perception. No fancy music but solid trippy dancefloor madness!
This one does it all! Funky percussions, repetitive squelchy synths, modified samples, good breakdowns and build-ups! Good ol' Psysex dance madness cummin in peace thru da speaka!
Magnetic Heart Beat 0:36
Hehe, entertaining little breaker, it's to introduce the intro of the next track 
Back to Nature 8:46
OH NOES, more proggy it seems  Is that a sample saying "I wanna be Ace Ventura"? At least he can make some good progressive!
The bassline is nice and deep and yeah, the further it moves on, the more i start appreciating it. It evolves to quite a piece of dark proggy. The atmo is kinda scary and the sounds as well, the more it moves into this the more i like it. Hehe, and then the track appear to be finished. ^_^
Tribute 5:14
wtf is this?? "Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "I wanna see ya sweat" overused house samples. No less than a retard pop song for finishers!
Wow, i'm totally stunned when that dreamy pad sways through... pure detroit style... in a breakbeat pop song with some black woman going "I wanna see ya sweat"??? I want this guy dead, NOW. I think it's a tribute song to some old pop icons. Listening this is more painful than pooing green and red poo. "Pass the mic" :suicide:
I'd really hoped for more real psysex in there but this album just seems like the final death stab for the project. I bet Udi will go solo under DJ Goblin proggy commy or continue to try and fool fans with the name Psysex. The proggy tracks are not that good except Back to Nature (well it isn't that good as well) and Hologram! Luckily like my impression from the samples, there are 3-4 good tracks in here with a decent feel to it. If you're into progressive and electro touches + psysex i guess this is your thang but for people like me who know and like the old and older sounds this is something rather hard to gallow down in it's whole.

it's a good album,
not to overloaded, many influences,
well done,
more direction hardcore blastoff,
and the more fullonish parts fit well..

@stryder if you are reviewing a CD i dont think its right saying things like this, this is just a blatant disregard for the artist and the label!
You ofcourse have the right to your opinions but i think you need to keep them under check when reviewing!!
If you dont like it there is a much nicer way to put that across!

havent herd fully but from what i did herd it sounded very interesting.
imo to bring back goa just like its been before there is no much point in it but if you take the old goa and mix it with new elements from other genres youll get something new, and i think this is the future. anyway i hope!
still need to fully listen! |

IfI should review every album I dislike It would be a full time job,
a review should be written by someone who likes it
and then people who like and don't like the album can post comments...
if nobody likes it, well then there is no review...
easy as that
on topic,
have listened to it > 5 times and psysex has always been new towards it's previous releases, never repeating itself,
and this what I expected, and I got it !
and I like it a lot
thanx and keep up the good work !

rules ? It was an opinion, who said anything about rules ?
you're strange
but like I said before,
I understand the disappointment,
this is totally NOT the psysex we are used to have, or experienced earlier...
anyone looking for some psysex style will get NO satisfaction @ all...
that is indeed the truth...
but it's still better then the average releases this year imo 
and I find sometimes some psysex elements,
maybe hearing what I want to hear, who knows...
respect koen

I wonder why they(psysex) change styles, for most of us we like hearing psysex because of what they have produced in the past..dont we ? if this was mister psysex's 1st album who would have paid attention, Not me for sure.
@Sidedefect >> Its a figure of speech, "who made such rules" i know its your justification and thats what is STRANGE
