5.0 out of 5 stars Koxbox's 'The Great Unknown', March 13, 2000

This ablum is incredible. Even better than their first two releases, (which were also phenomenal). The sounds on this album are more evolving and complex than their previous work, but it still maintains the essential rythms and beats that make trance music enjoyable in the first place. One of the better trance albums I have heard in a long time.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but not their best, March 28, 2000

This is definitely a good cd...however its nothing compared to earlier work by Koxbox such as Dragon Tales. Pick up some of the classic stuff if you really want to be blown away.

4.0 out of 5 stars Successfully Multi-faceted Psy-Trance with Conceptual Flair, November 22, 2000

This review is from: Great Unknown (Audio CD)

Many Psy-Trance bands these days are attempting increasingly conceptually crafted albums with little success. For example, Pleiadians' follow-up to Identified Flying Object, Family of Light, and Cypher's I-Music are examples of attempts at artsy multi-facetedness gone awry, or just plain unfocused. On the contrary, Koxbox's Great Unknown is a perfect example of a diversely styled, yet still cohesive, Psy-Trance album. Track three, the title track, track five, Crunchy Moies, and track seven, Geomancer, are the album's most fulfilled trance songs, I feel, while the remainder of tracks serve to fill the gaps in, for the most part, interesting ways.

I've withheld the fifth star for two reasons: One, the album contains a song or two that I have yet to find as enjoyable as the rest, and two, Great Unknown is a little light for my tastes (the closer this stuff gets to Van Dyk or BT, the worse).

If you enjoy Psy-Trance, even the aggressive stuff like I do, you'll enjoy this album for its creativity and solidity.
