Short comments from Reviews

..."In 2005 there has been several Goa releases allready.
Comparing this to for instance Khetzal would not be fair,
this is much more dancefloor oriented stuff. Overall I think
it's a pretty damn strong collection of oldschool tracks
,and a coupple of them are brilliant.."
Tomas (Psychedelic Mustache) / Sonic-Energy.net

"A new kind of modern goa trance from Greece...New styled old school goa trance
with a work out of new congnitions...we get the drive and the grooves like years before
when goa used to be wild and melodic.Well Done!"Mushroom Magazine/Germany

"...Old school Vibes...that will make some of you nostalgic."
PKS / Trance.net

========================================

Purple Energy: indicates spiritual thoughts. Purple is never a strong point in the Aura. It appears only as temporary "clouds" and "flames", indicating truly spiritual thoughts. But this time I got a whole CD full of musical fuel to drive my spiritual thoughts far longer than ever before.

Mendark and Radical Distortion has created great basis for a very powerful experience by this album. As the first tones fills up the air around me, I can almost feel my aura stretching out as my body feasts on the psychedelic energy coming towards me in full range from my speakers. Soon I gain so much energy that I can't stand still anymore. My feet start to move around while nodding my head to the rhythm as it starts slowly and takes more and more effect, closing my eyes to focus fully on every millisecond of the wild music. The deep, deep tones moving slowly, like faithful rocks forming a solid ground, while multilayer fillings supporting the melodies in the most intelligent way.

The effectfull sounds and technical details are overwhelming when filling every tiny bit of time out. As I enjoy the music, holding out my hands in the air I can almost feel how the energy are coming at me in soft waveform. Touching the excited air with my fingertips, feeling my aura expand even more, and more, and more, ending out filling the room in an intense way of purple energy so powerful that I now must see it for my self.

Slowly I open my eyes while focusing by my third eye, still feeling so relaxed in my eyes as if they were a sleep, I now clearly see the air like a sea of purple water. The baseline, pumping so intense that thick wave's flush around and the clear thin melodies trickles in the corners of the room, like little fountains contributing to the very complexity of the wave surface.

I can stand here for hours, enjoying myself and these fresh waves of music, made in Greece by great and skilled artists. I can imagine what impact it will be to join a party on such great music, beeing surrounded by fellow species, full of joy and full of love, dancing for several hours, having only this instant purpose in life; to feel every spilt second of the present.

I now deeply understand the purpose of the cover art, showing how cubes of this purple energy is stored like frozen water in ice cubes. The energy is for you to use, as you please and the best of it is; that afterwards there is absolutely no dripping to clean up in contrast to the melted ice ;-). Pure purple energy, totally absorbable - enjoy.
