Solstice Music in Japan is certainly one of the leading psytrance labels out there: It has some of the greatest artists, releases mostly pure quality and organise one of the best psytrance festivals in the world, the Solstice Music Festival near Mount Fuji in Japan. Now they are out with a DVD and a live compilation from this festival!

These guys sure know how to get something done. While other festival organisers uses years of promising false things, these guys releases things in time, and exactly what people want to hear and see. The DVD is absolutely fantastic! Great live performances by most of the best talented psytrance artists in the world! It’s funny watching these little interviews too, and Raja Ram sure made me laugh when he interviews some of the audience… This movie really makes me want to go to a festival again. It seems so well organised and professional, so maybe Japan should be my next goal?
The compilation is perfect for listening to before you go to a party. You can hear the audience screaming, so you get a real live feeling. All the tracks are well known tracks you have probably heard before, but most of them are in slightly different versions.
Here you get it all! Live performances of the best psytrance acts on your own DVD player isn’t bad! It’s also fun to have some live tracks from these acts on this compilation. Recommended!
