Release Notes
3D Vision is proud to announce the releasing of the third Talamasca album!
This 'concept' album contains 12 tracks of pure psychedelic trance, related
to the 12 astrologic signs, and will become for sure one of the most original
album of electronic music of this year 2003! Get ready for take off!
From Talamasa:
well....first of all , if it appears right now in the "mafia" scene , it is
just because i 've decided two or three weeks ago to "give" it to some
"trustable" people who anyway will give it...but it is still ok , it is now
released in one week...so.....
about the reviews , i 'll try to do one myself , like if it was not
mine....after all , i am the one who know the tracks better than anyone no?
so let s go for it......you ll tlel me later if you are sharing my point of
view....
1- ARIES :
Ok , this is the next "hit"....every time that this one was played ,
(strangely at the last of the live act....)it kicked the dancefloor....it is
of course because of the guitar , but maybe because also of the melody which
is above the guitar in the first part of the track....and of course , i don t
speak about the guitar "solo" of the end......
2 - TAURUS :
This one was made to fit to the sign more than to be "dancefloor"...which
means that the first part is quite "shanti" , with a straight bassline ,
symbolizing the way the taurus stay on "earth"...and the final part to
translate the way the taurus gets angry....he is just running in front of
him....
3 - GEMINI :
The concept of this sign was to divide two parts of course , but with the
same "base"....which was translated by doing the first part in triplets and
the second one , with the same sounds , scales and even melodies , but in a
4/4 regular tempo....actually , i really love the first part , and the second
part , after a lot of listening , sounds a bit "too violent" compare to what i
wanted to do , but i see here that some people prefer this part , so it is
cool...ehhehe
4 - CANCER :
I know already that this track will divide the people....this is actually the
most melodic track i 've ever did i think...a bit too much , even for my taste
, but the cancer is the dreamer sign , in the positive way , so i had to do a
beautiful one....the melody itself who starts in the break will remind to a
lot of people the "time simulation" track of my last album ....track who was
already or loved or hated......
5 - LEO :
this is actually my own sign , and that is maybe why it was so hard for me to
make...i didn t want a "dark" one , as i didn t want a "melodic" neither....i
think i stayed in the middle , with the idea that leo is a fire sign , so it
should be powerfull....
6 - VIRGO :
One of my favorite...it is a very good collaboration that we have done with
Nomad , the sound is really clear , the mix is exactly as i wanted.....now ,
of course , it depends on your taste , but i would say this is in my top three
for this album....
7 - LIBRA :
This is really my favorite one...i wanted to focus on the fact that the libra
has also two personnalities , but not like the gemini....i wanted two
completly different parts...i wouldn t say that the first part is "dark" as i
've wrote somewhere , but more deep and mysterious...with a lot of "stereo"
effects (listen this one in the headphones...)of course , from left to
right....like the balance...and the second part is typically a talamasca
ending like some would say , but i am really happy with it , specially with
the beautiful last kind of flute sound.....
8 - SCORPIO :
For sure i was influenced on this one by the fact that Absolum was
scorpio...so as you can guess , it is quite "agressive"....but it fits to the
sign no???anyway , this is the exact opposite of the cancer track....
9 - SAGITTARIUS :
yes , this one was already around from the dat mafia , because i played one
year ago in mexico and some "nice" people recorded the all live act....and i
don t know what to say except that is it another full on one who work a lot on
the dance floors....
10 - CAPRICORN :
i knew when i made this one , that it would surprise the people who knows
what i am doing generally....but the reason why i decided to do this "concept"
album was also to find an "excuse" to do something else than the usual full on
morning....
11 - AQUARIUS :
This is the "atmospheric" track , with a lot of pads....it was very cool to
make , because it changed a bit and i knew from the beginning that i didn t
want any "nizhonot" for this one...that s why the end is not
"kicking"....again , i wanted to fit with the sign....
12 - PISCES :
Believe me or not , this one was the most complicated to do for me!!!!i didn
t stop to make and to erase any sequence i was doing....i had a lot of problem
to fit with the idea that i wanted to make , which was for this sign to
"follow the flow" without surprises....in a progressive way...which i am not
used to do....but i will make more.....
so in the end , i don t know how it sounds , i am of course influenced by the
fact i made them.....and actually , to answer someone upper , i don t believe
in astrology......but it didn t matter so much , because that you believe it
or not , there is still diferences between signs....so i compared every signs
between them just to see which one will be more groovy , or more full on , or
more melodic , or more minimal.....the goal for me was to make 12 different
tracks....and if you listen cancer , scorpio , aries and capricorn for exemple
, you ll maybe get the idea.......
Anyway , thanks to all the ones who support my work , and even to the others
, who sometime (not everytime , come on....)are saying constructive staf that
i always consider.
