Hello guys!
I just got the new album from Alon (aka SUNTREE) and I really feel myself OBLIGATED in making a review of it, since I just fell in love with this album, thinking it is perfect to be played in an Open Air party or just have fun and admire it in yout home! 
So here it goes, I hope you like it.
Suntree – Lonsome Dream (08:40) 132 BPM
Fat bassline track, very very danceable, with a loto f psychedelic effects, some nice female vocals making an angelical melody and also some speechs, and at 04:07 a very nice lead sounds creating a catchy trance melody, as Alon loved to do!
In the break an incredible atmosphere, with male vocal saying about ‘’some lonsome dream’’… then the kick becomes dry, with filter effect and at 06:02 the guy repeats ‘’some lonsome dreems’’ and the bass comes… Whow! Hypnotic!!! Also very nice claps and hi hats!
Suntree – Freedom (08:24) 135 BPM
This is a more closed bassline, serious stuff, dark and night music imo. (But it can be perfectly playable in the morning, afternoon, etc!). The percussions maybe are the strongest point in this one, an easy but very catchy melody!!! But the other leads that creates differents melodies are also amazing.
The ‘’alarm’’ fx that appears in 02.50 are just very hypnotic and it’s the beginning of the 1st break, which is simply killer! The track grew uplifiing as it would explode and the silence comes again….. But only for 7 seconds, then a male vocal say something that I didn´t understand and the bassline returns with kicks in a very fat style!
But again, all the percussions are the strongest point of this track imo!
Suntree – X.T.C. (09:24) 135 BPM
X.T.C. has all the psychedelics music elements, 2 notes after the kick, dry clap, a loooot of amazing effects all the time, creating an uncouscionous melody, trancy leads making some crazy sounds and at the 02.34 Alon misunderstood the things because the track has a name but the sound that appears is reaaaally acid sound like the old trance stuffs (bweun bweun!), and it comes like ‘’suddenly’’, that was superb…. Alon again did a killer bomb! Hehe
The break comes at 03.47, with a vocal saying the name of the track (lol) and quick at 04.01 the kicks comes back with dry claps pushing the track again. Omg!
And of course, the acid sounds returns later, in the peak of the track, filled with a lot of crazy echo effects and winds, very good atmosphere!
The main break is just crazy…. A make vocal saying ‘’But before xtc was made illegal psycho therapists were given the drugs to patients because they said it was an amazing and effective therapy tool, tool, tool, tool… (tăn tăn… tăn tăn…. BOOOOOM!)’’
Again, CRAZY Alon! Hehehe very nice one my friend, this one is DESTROYER for sure!
Suntree – Inside (08:11) 135 BPM
Well this is the name of the album. So of course a great track!
It´s just beautiful, very nice melodies and trancy sounds, a great bassline and some kinds of leads (one of them making kind of percussion floating over the track and the other one just with 2 notes).
In the 1st break the male vocal says something I really didn´t understand, only the ‘’Inside’’ word at the end… (If anyone can help with it I thank´s…. )
The biggest point in this track in my opinion is at 03:33, a simple thing but it´s crazy one! Alon creat kind of a percussion with 3 beats very fast, and created using this beats a great hypnotic and moving sound…. Congratz man! Simple idea but veryyyy effective!
The leads after are beautiful, real trancy… And the bassline eating our brain all the time like a pitbull! Crazy music, contrast between the hard bassline with the beautifull melody!
The main break is killer… Atmospheric, lysergic, tripping, with wind sounds catching us, a great lead with an acid sound touch, and suddenly the bassline returns with the kicks and some other effects, and finally at 05.54 all comes together again in a brillian way to move asses on the dancefloor!
Once more (too repeatitive) congratz Alon! 
Suntree – Comparable Worlds (09:21) (135 BPM)
First of all this one has a very nice intro…. Effects and good leads! Then a kind of percussion with hi hats appear, and a girl says something like ‘’sacrify’’ and BOOM: greaaaat fat bassline with all together! At 01.11 a good dry clap gives a nice rythmn to the music.
After that the track continues in a great trip, with the female voice appearing once in a while and a lot of windy effects.
In the 1st break a male vocal says some words and the track returns again with all good sounds it has in the beginning plus a nice lead one in a great sequence.
At the 06:23 is the main break. If you realize it has a ‘’brrrroooooow’ effects just when the break begins, like ‘’sucking the music’’… Alon used this a lot in this track, realy nice stuff…Some nice notes in the lead and after that in 07:60 BOOOM again, the chuncky bassline returns like a crazy dog!
Maybe this is the heaviest track so far, I really loved it!
Suntree – Persistence (08:40) (135 BPM)
Again the percussions are a great simple but veryyyy effective point at this track… Well, the bassline is as heavy as all the others so it´s getting commun to say great things about it lol… It´s just REALLY fat!
This seems like real Suntree track… The bassline as the pitbull style, the effects making a crazy melody, some effects like a ‘’sucktion’’, leads making a nice sequency of notes that hypnotize us… Perfect!
The 1st break is at 02:50, the kicks continues in a dry effect with filter, then a girl says ‘’there will be something in here’’ and BOOM again! Heheheh With a beauuutiful melody in the background with 4 notes really nice trancy stuff! In 03:33 another great percussion with other 4 beats in some kind of wet hi hats…. In 03:56 a male voice some some other words and BOOM, the track returns with all elements together and also a new crazy percussion in other hi hats… Amazing! Some electronic shots in the effect and also the sucktion that Alon loves to do it and finally at 04:57 the main break arrives…
And it´s just great, that melody of 4 notes continue giving beauty to the track, effects are in everywhere, a nice lead sequence begun slowly and grew during the break, some build up effect and the kick returns without the bassline, then the hi hats are added and a new silence with the male vocal appear with all effects…. And……. BOOOOM….. The track returns! I loved this one because a hi hat with 2 beats likes a ‘’techno’’ percussion appeared, and I am very into techno nowadays… I really liked it!
After listening this one I can´t just choose the best track so far, since all are almost perfect!
Suntree – Back to the Source (08:48) 135 BPM
A dry kick with a closed bassline is the beginning of this track… Then the percussions appeared and they are always a strong work into´s Alon´s music.
The 1st break is really nice, exploding fastly and become with a strong bassline that osccilates for one time just before the claps return and it does it again once in a while. Really nice effects with echo.
The main break is very nice, a lead sequencer with some male voices and then other leads appeared to make a trance atmosphere and some other effects with echo and repeatitives voices… So it grows and at the 06:23 BOOM, the track returns again… With a kind of whispers, very nice effect… And a female voice appeared to the beginning of the hi hats, again some techno plates, really fast and danceable stuff, I simply loved it!
Suntree – Unseen (09:28) 135 BPM
Again another kind of acid sounds, both the sequenced lead and the effects are really nice old acid music effects… It´s a very serious bassline, closed one, followed by a loooot of nice tripping effects, going up and down all the time, manipulating our minds, really nice.
The main break is just crazy! A looot of sounds in a great harmony, making you confused and high at the same time, ending with some beats on a wood instrument and the sucking effect that ended in another great and simple melody with 2 notes only and echo effect… Another leads appeared, other effects, kind of a percussion also and a female voice saying ‘’Unseen… I don´t know how…’’ And boom! The track returns with the 2 notes melody and the leads effects… Really nice stuff!
Finally at the 07:34 it´s the peak of the track, it just begun a crazzzzy acid sounds again with a great percussion, a lot of plates, some female voices like angels creating a melody, and later the 2 notes melody re appear giving the nice trip into the track!
Suntree – Private Guide (Album Edit) (08:38) 137 BPM
This one is already a HIT known by every fan of Progressive Psychedelic sounds, and it´s the fastest track of the album (137). It´s an album edit, with almost the same elements used in the original one but put in differents positions of the music and some other different sounds aswell…
Also a nice male vocal that I can´t remember of being in the original and the sounds of the melody seems to be in other lead sound, more happy then the before imo.
The main break is just crazy, that leads in a great sequence and the track begun growing all the time to finally the male vocal appear again and BOOM, crazy sound…. One of my favourites for sure!
CONCLUSION:
Alon just did a great work as he usually does! Point for him and for Iono Music to release such a GREAT work… Showing to the World that we can be very creative inside the Psytrance style (being progressive or fullon) and not so repeatitive like many producers do.
He also showed us that all his music are composed with strong and fat basslines, great hypnotizing percussions (that imo are the strongest point in his work) also amazing leads in good sequences creating a nice catchy melody and the track all filled with fxs, one after other, making some kind of other melody.
TOP WORK THAT I SERIOUS ADVICE YOU ALL TO BUY!

This for sure is an awesome Prog Psy album.
Alon really knows how to make deep melodies and strong baselines.
I've been missing this kind of Proggy music.
Totally recommended. Favorites are 2, 3, 5 and 7.
And nice review, btw!!
