5.0 out of 5 stars
The best trance album of all time, July 26, 2001
This review is from: Another World (Audio CD)
Having reviewed this album already, I have to review it again: This is the most played trance album I own, and no other trance album I have heard has stood up to it. Trance usually gets old after you hear it a few times... not this album! I once said that Autechre was better than Astral Projection; but time has proven me wrong. I never listen to Autechre anymore. The beats in this music are repetitive, by the very nature of trance music. You can only knock Astral Projection for repetition if you do not like trance music in the first place. But this album is NOT repetitive... it is melodic. Each song doesn't simply repeat the melody over and over. Some have two, three, or more, and each melody varies as the song progresses. Layers upon layers build to give you that "feeling", the feeling you are supposed to get from trance... Another World is the reason trance exists! :) Even friends of mine who hate everything "techno" have admitted that these songs are good. A top 10 album of our time! A must for all modern music collections.

harder, darker, and far more complex than Dancing Galaxy, March 24, 2000
This review is from: Another World (Audio CD)
this album makes Dancing Galaxy seem "cute." The number of tracks this guy must be using is off-the-charts - incredibly complex and ENTRACING - the music he weaves together rushes over you like psychadelic stormclouds - that is the best way I can describe it - it actually takes you somewhere. There is no better psy trance than astral projection and this album is technically miles above Dancing Galaxy - anyone who says the songs are repetetive is not listening - there is definately a common theme and style but there is great versitility in sounds and melodies - there are some darkly beautiful songs - all very sweeping and confident - fast and utterly moving

Astral Projection at their finest, September 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Another World (Audio CD)
Astral Projection has been making the greatest trance for years and years. And its great to see that after more than 5 years, they are as good as ever! Although I dont think any track on Another World matched the power of their early classic "Powergen", every single song off this album is amazing. Astral Projection have changed their sound a little bit from their prior "Dancing Galaxy" album, adding some new progressive-sounding synths to their arsenal. Still they keep their own original flavor. This is my favorite album of 99 so far and if you knew anything about true trance music, you would agree!
