#2492 Ubar Tmar - Fusion

Goa week pt 6!

A happier, goofier, dancier, weirder, woolier, more experimental, more sci-fi sample-packed take on trance -- just fuckit lets go for it. My ramshackle notes say things like:
 - colorful _moves_ instead of slow shifts
 - harder edged switch-flips
 - delightfully skittery!
 - actual guitars! flashes of rockism
 - playful squelches, organic energy again and again
 - nice momentum heading into the last song, this does not end with the whimper so many of these albums seem to

The kind of album that leaves you grasping for summary points, and golly don't I love that, getting back to the true, wriggly spirit of acid arpeggiation. Aside: man, for all the focus on experience, these Goa trance albums fucking suck at album-scale pacing, almost every one just dropping you off at the bus stop mid-trip. Dicks.

I'm not sure this is actually the best of the lot, but its the one I'm most intrigued to return to 4/5
