Artist: Trold
Title: Once Upon A Time……
Year: 2003
Label: Apoxina Records
Introduction Trold Album:
This Norwegian melodic forest-music act is one of the major influences that keeps my love for psytrance fresh and deeply alive. Lets name it a meaningful piece of music... In my opinion this works in two ways:
First of all this music tells a story that goes beyond normal storytelling. Each time I experience the album, yes by now it has become experiencing, it unfolds a great story about life, people, the universe you name it. I don’t mean the vocals you hear although they can inspire and direct stories in certain ways. You have to listen to all melodies who communicate with each other. Really enchanting pieces that together create the larger picture. What really appeals to me here is the structure and progress ( process) in each track, it really builds in a way you can feel it all come to life and understand why the sounds come in to play.
Second the story the music tells isn’t fix. You can experience your own dreams/stories through sound. It just lets your story flow, waving over the melodies. Well I can say this is how good music can work with me. Making the connection between imagination and music can really create something, be it a written story, a painting or a pathway to our goal(s)…
Just look at it all through sound and maybe it will turn out to be more encompassing than you ever imagined it would be. What I say here goes beyond this album and stretches out to many pieces of excellent music or art.
The Tracks:
This time I’m not going to take you through the tracks separately. Imo the music is all good and some tracks stand out more when you look at them separately but that is not the way to look at this album I feel.
It’s melodic music in a foresty way, not in a full on way etc. Although enough of the sounds are quirking, squeeching and swirling, it’s also possible to hear sounds that seem so subtle as if raindrops were falling on crystal glass and making melody. Most of the tracks contain an atmospheric background wave that makes the setting for the track more clear and enjoyable. Between the electrical psysounds you hear a enough liquid or acoustic sounding melody. Sometimes the melodies feel so on edge as if the artists were touching instruments (ofcourse I mean most synth here) so sharp that one more heavy stroke by hand would mean cutting theirselfs. Well on edge can mean just right for some or not enough if you want the sounds to break lose. I’ll leave in the midst what you want here? I like it...
The music is for sure a home listener, but for me this can stand perfectly on a dance floor with all kinds of psyheads. Let the artists tell their story and get us into moving for the night.
On the other hand I think some people could possibly see this different from me here. The music isn’t that fast or easy peaking, if you come for fast partying… then tis could possibly be not your taste.
In all lets call this album a beautiful piece of entrancing music.
The Live act:
Well I missed their live in Romania 2005, I was so extremely stupid to be in my tent… This year I still regretted the fact that I missed them out then. For sure I can call BooM 2006 their revenge on my lazy head ! They kicked arse bigtime and they kicked me around for sure.
First of all imo their live doesn’t really sound like the album I reviewed here. The live act was more intense and sounded more heavy, more the kind of forest music that creates those swirling melodic peaks that come from down under. As I see it, it was stomping trollmusic and I was a tripping troll who lost his soul in the music. In return they gave me energy in the form of vibrating music that made me dance like a animal. In the end to tired to hold on but to entangled to stop. This was one exhausting whirlwind of sound, but it so full filth me with joy and lightness. Anyway I hope they soon release a second full album.
Thanks for the live act, one of the best I experienced so far…
Conclusion:
Excellent storytelling, meaningful music that really has been an important piece of music in my life last 12 months.
Their live act keeps my hopes up for a musically superb album, maybe more entrancing than the first.
The album : 8,5/10 (Musically 8 and story wise enjoyment 9/10)
The Live act BooM 2006, it made sense there and at that point lost in time: 9,5/10
Well to be honest I expect more from their forthcoming album…
Now I’m going to eat a nice juicy, sweet melon to make my eyes sparkle from sensory delight! Make Life Meaningful!!!
Thank you and enjoy all… |

yes for sure it was in 2003, Apoxina was a little French label from the south/south-west delivering colourful psychedelik.
We miss such kind of label in France, they never been replaced or equalized since they disappear 
I remember speaking with some people involved in this label project, it was scheduled a come-back of the label, but no news since ...
you can find easily all my psytrance & chill reviews on my blog at:
