Power Source – Cosmic Waves

one of the best albums ever! just listen to memory bubbles

Absolute fantastic this album,very melodic goa trance.

"There is stuff out there at least twice as good and much easier to find. " (dafuq???)

someone here has to remind to people that the "easy to be found" things, are not exactly as good as the rare ones.

but hey, just enjoy this magnificent Goa Trance album loaded with pure psychedelia.

It depends on what you imagine while listening to music, what emotions it unleashes in you and practically, what do you except from such an oldschool timeless goa trance. If you want some kick-ass fast full-on, then it's not for you definitely. This album has very mystical and transcendental tunes, and as maroko said beneath, it has lazy kicks, but these lazy kicks aren't here NOTAL for crazy dancing - yet you can find quite danceable tracks on album, like Orient Express for example or very dynamic and swift Hyperspace.
These kicks are here to massively roll you through a bit nostalgic, cosmic, melodious (cheesy is not well-chosen term, it's more like some ancient dark stomping goa sounds - Orient Express e.g.) and acid world straight from Power Source (might sound like some cheap advert, no?).

Yet another digression, if you have heard many Israeli goa trance artists, then probably you won't find anything fresh here. As opposed to maroko's allegation, I can't find anything specially uplifting on Cosmic Waves (except maybe Zahadoom, which is very energetic, but uplifting? Ok, you can tell). I worshipped Astral Projection in the olden days, but, while I'm almost fully bored of AP, I can still go back to Power Source today without any defiance, which in my opinion is very unique. Of course you need to be in a mood for goa trance.

Cosmic Waves is good for normal home listening and I think it would work even more effectively while traveling - but not from your home to market, unless you live 100km from it.

Yes, it has better and worse tracks on it, but these are pretty well arranged in numerical growing order, to avoid boredom. These worse-called tracks do their job as a chilly breakers.
The album hasn't got the top notch mastering, super duper FXes or sound quality (as I heard, it was created in some tracker), but as far as you got original CD or FLAC rip, you shouldn't be disappointed much.

For fans of uplifting, happy, over done and hands in the air israeli trance, accompanied by booming and hard kicks- this is it. If you enjoyed acts such as Mystica or Astral Projection's post "Dancing Galaxy" sound, you're gonna love this. Nothing new, nothing revolutionary, just more of the same feet stomping paced music with larger than life melodies.

My personal opinion about this album is not a great one, though. Apart from the beautiful and very emotional opener, the entire album goes entirely wrong. Cheesy leads all the way, uninspiring and lazy kicks, topped off with laughable samples. At best, that is. Their 1996 classic Granada gets a modern remix, which could and should have been left out.

But it could be that I am wrong. "Cosmic Waves" is now considered a very rare album, and there must be some merit to that status, right? As I already said above: those who are looking for it most probably know precisely what is it they are looking for and getting here, the rest of you- think things over. Listen to before buying.
