Greg Lunar compiled here a nice selection of mostly soft and airy morning sounds, best to move the party in first light. All made from the Transient 12" of the last 3 years. I wasn’t really familiar with a lot of what Transient released in the last years, so a lot of these tracks were new and fresh to me.
It's starts a little clubby, with Purple and Ronan, nice soft tribalish tune, with those moving caressing melodies that seem to be associated with everything that has Purple involved in. Mumbo Jumbo continue with Fishbone remix (T2), nice and squeaky, with great percussion work. Quirk's Tribodelic (T3) has a real clubby tribal feel, the hands-up-in-the-air-explosion included. It's still Quirk, which means it rocks, but I liked what these guys used to make in their psychedelic era much more. In Sect with a Slammer (T4), start the more full on stuff- excellent. Than it's Michael Andresen in the first of two here. As Tinnitus he brings Shapeshifter (T5), a crunchy one with a simple irresistible melody. Matenda follows with a typical scando morningish tune (T6). Then Astral Projection do their thing with Anything is Possible (T7), they had much better ones. Cosmosis and Shakta with the classic Visitors that rocked many floors, but got overused for me and didn't survive the time test. Than it's Mr. Andresen again, as the more known 12 Moons with Zero Gravity (T9), amazing sample and a great tracks as well. The classic Subtle Thrust ends the compilation- great but I preferred the other mix by far.
[b]Bottom Line:[/b] A collection of hits. Great morning sounds mostly and very enjoyable, great story line as well. Oh, and the cover is so British... [b]Favorites:[/b] 1, 2, 3, 4(!), 9.

all the tracks (or like 90%) have been released on previous trancelucent* compilations so no surprise; this time it's only unmixed. best tracks: in sect and shakta/cosmosis - don't fit in this progressive/epic trance direction cd by the way. *don't buy* from me. |
