5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This! Jump off Oakie's bandwagon, October 4, 2001

By 

Dennis A Vollmer (Dallas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tsunami (Audio CD)

This is one of those albums that you tend to not to notice, even after I bought it I only gave it a brief listen or two before it got tossed in with the other CD's I rarely listen to. I almost didint buy it when I did either, nothing about it hints at what a Awesome album it is.
In the last 5 years or so, Trance as a genre has evolved into what we hear today, in most cases it consists of a "intro", a "breakdown", a few "build up's", and a "big epic creshindo", set to a 4/4 measure around 130BPM. Though there are a notable few that producers that have expanded on that basic structure, but overall trance has killed itself trying to "Out Anthem" one another.
As a whole Tsunami seems a little off at first, there seems to be to much going on at first for trance, but its not edgy enough to be called "Hard House" or "Drum & Bass". I wasent sure what to think at first, I liked it, but wasent overly impressed.
But what a difference a good pair of headphones make. About five minutes later midway through track 2, I was zoning off when it hit me, This is what trance was supposed to be about. Most of the tracks are very tribal, (Tribal dose not = D&B) have heavy "Techno" underpinings blended with slick synth lines. Unlike a lot of Comp's. that feel slaped together, the quality of the tracks suprized me. X-Dream in paticular stands out above the rest, they are one of the older purveyors of hard trance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pushpaka Approved!, December 12, 2000

"pushpaka" (Rye, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I was VERY excited when I got this CD. It's hard to find really good trance CDs that aren't mixed, and as a Trance DJ, I'm loving this CD. Lot's of great stock to use during a club set, and most songs are between 125-140 bpm with lots of great beats and effect sweeps, embelishing the already very groovy synth structures. I have to agree with Joseph Good in another review of this CD, I've listen to it every day since I bought it over a week ago. If this album doesn't become a staple of underground Trance mixers, they must be either sleeping or stupid. Great compilation job from Tsunami's producer, Opher India Drop! - Pushpaka

5.0 out of 5 stars THE TRANCE WORLD HAS A NEW MEMBER, September 8, 2000

By 

ENELDO RIVERA JR (NYC AREA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tsunami (Audio CD)

TSUNAMI HAS OUT DONE THEMSELVES WITH THIS CD. THE BASS LINE KICKS AND THE BREAKDOWNS ARE UNBELIVABLE. THE MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD ON ONE CD. THIS CD PAKS IN THE NYC FLAVOR OF THE UNDERGROUND RAVE AND TRANCE SCENE. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, HOPE THIS IS NOT THE LAST FOR TSUNAMI. PEACE AND LOVE.
