As all we know Yahel doesn’t needs presentation with this his fifth album in his career is considered one of most talented trance artist from Israel.
This album Around the World was build during last year between big raves what Yahel participated all over the world.
Around the World is the fith album of Yahel and it could be the best.
My review:
01 - Around the World
Its a good track to start the cd, to the middle of the track have a stable rythm with nice sounds owns of Yahel, from here track begins to pumping and pumping the groove in many forms to dance and dance...
02 – Cosmos
The track begins with smooth sounds in an atmosphere of a certain tranquillity by moments, then a bassline begins suddenly that finishes with that, by half of the track until the end are many changes in beat very oriented to the dancefloor, its a nice track.
03 - Kamasutra
Smooths grooves creating a nice trance moment atmosphere, a pair of smooth sounds of them appears to separate and this indicated the guideline to initiate the bassline very groovie, nice synthies, by the half is a break in bassline and then single there is a series of smooth sounds, then a male simple about the title of the track, a track with a stable rythm.
04 – Automatic
Fat sounds that little by little are left by other more thin ones create the principle of this track , then a sample saying Automatic automatic… and the bassline begins that seconds later becomes more aggressive, more groovie, more accelerated, then ahead more samples, the same pumping bassline and groovie, im liking this track hehe, very groovie since the begin to the end. Nice nice track.
05 – Siam
A short smooth atmosphere create the begin of this track then a pumping bassline, in this track we find many surprises with the rythm, nice synths, a good track to the middle of this work of Yahel.
06 – Master of Disaster
Some stranges sounds with a sample saying Tic Tac Tic Tac Tic Tac that appears that is in your mind, nice track with very nice rythm, very oriented to dancefloor to dance & dance... Tic tAc
07 – Liquid Love
Good track, very emocional, nice samples, nice synths. You must to feel the sounds and turn to Liquid Love.
08 – Speed
A nice track with good basslines, to the middle of the track you can feel a very lovely atmosphere since here the bassline pump many times to get it the trance rythm of Yahel. One of favs.
09– World of Dreams
Yahel knows to save the best to the last, definitively this is one of my favorites, very pumping bassline, the people will love this track on the dance floor. Until to finish the track the rythm goes more addictive, i sure you will enjoy this track.
Favourites:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (!!)

And there we have it. To me this is a severe disappointment. Yahel is a strange artist in my opinion. He started out relatively good with For The People. Then his best work ever came out: Waves of Sound. After that milestone came the disappointing release: Private Collection, which had a few good tracks but was nothing special at all. Then came Hallucinate, which, although it was a bit better than Private Collection, just plain sucked in some tracks. And now we have his latest work. It starts off extremely well. You're there in the old Yahel atmosphere. But after the good start it's all downhill from there. One of Yahel's main problems in my opinion is that he obviously lost his skill of maintaining a good flow in his tracks. Sometimes you'd be listening and thinking: yeah, this is sounding good. And then suddenly a break comes and just when you think: this is going to be a good climax we're left plodding along going nowhere. It just sucks as I think Yahel could produce miracles if he just got his shit together again like he did on Waves of Sound. And the vocals, man, don't get me started on that. 'Maaassster of Disaaasster' Well... yeah. It's as good a way as any to sum up this album. A disaster. But, like most disasters, it has some good sides hidden beneath all the shit. The first track and the last track. What's in between is either plain bad or just extremely mediocre. Looking for some good Yahel tracks and you're new to his style? Get waves of sound. I'd advise people to skip this. And you know, maybe this album isn't even that bad compared to some other releases out there nowadays, but Yahel can do so much more than this IMO. Damn shame.

This is good music but it is not psytrance. rolling bassline in some of the tracks don't make it psy. it's music for clubs.

I don't like this style, how can you call it?
general midi trance? yes, could be. never been in a club with this music (fortunately), maybe I'm not young enough?
anyway the sound production seems to be good.
A friend of mine told me that he this kind of stuff sell more then most psytrance productions, is it true?

For sure, amazing album, i cant expect something else from Yahel. If u are a Hardcore darktrance fan, i dont think that this will be ur style, but this cd is unique and all about yahel style. For me is very fresh and clubby, and has very emotional melodies in it. I love it from begining to end. Peace !! |

You should know what to expect. He's not psy but he beats Tiesto and his friends in their own game.

va¤n and kakha - your comments about cover design are maybe interesting to yahel's left testicle for about 5 min and not more.... you are not his target audience at all. not that he needs any protection from me - i dont listen to his music since "for the people" i think..... or maybe the last thing i heard was "electropanik" but regardless... he is shooting for the more dj is a star attitude in his marketing- doing the same covers as tiesto- van dyk, oakenfold... just think about that.
you might be laughing at him here - but he is laughing all the way to the bank...

And still Surrender, it's disgusting.
Shows you once again that ppl don't want to think, they want their music served on a golden plate, Simple music, with a superstar dj on its cover.
