this one comes courtesy of a swedish project called electronic dreamplanet but was shortened edp on their first release on koyote sublabel peyote. i didn't know much about this record when i bought it as it was when i started buying records properly over ten years ago. by going after the sleeve and the information on the record i could gather up that it was about goa or psytrance and sure enough i was right.
"spiritual hallucination" comes in two version both done by dan larsson & tony berntsson themselves and while the original is nice, i steered more towards the "absense of light remix" on the flip. it is a little more stripped down and works well in conventional trance-sets as well, which is what i was playing upon buying this. much like any goa record at the time, it's ultramelodic and the bassline sets the tone for the record. there is also a sturdy tr-909 kick & hihats employed, which wouldn't be the case after the rise of full-on and the likes.
apart from the second break there isn't much to dislike about this record but for me it's just a matter of personal preference. there is a point to it because the track changes key and melodies and i think it's a point for any dj to start mixing out. unless they have a record that works harmonically or is stripped down enough and all that jazz. yeah.
