Music reviews
Tribal Vision Records based in the Czech Republic continues their high productivity of releasing progressive trance. Here they are with the second album by Prisoners Of The Sun, also called POTS (Thomas Wilhelmy & Achim Lüthje). Their first album (Are You Scientific Enough?) was released on Sunset Recordings in 2001, which relesulted in a lot of gigs for this duo worldwide. Tribal Vision gives us a pretty cool cover art as usual, including all the information you need in a nice booklet.

With this album we get smooth progressive vibes from beginning to end. We get a nice variation of bpm here, ranging from 128-140. Some of these tracks also come close to progressive house, so this should be an album that could fit well at a progressive house floor as well as a trippy trance floor. My favourite track here is track 5 (Botox Party), which is a quite housy track, but with a really trippy, interesting vibe. For sure a track I could play in the early evening at a party. Groovy drift, catchy sounds and a nice melody. Never too fluffy, and actually quite dark. Most of the tracks goes pretty minimal, but in a good way. Groovy beats and some crispy, echoing sounds. Some melodies are also put in here and there, but never falls over to the cheesy side.
The second album by Prisoners Of The Sun will for sure not dissappoint the progressive crowd out there. Here we get pretty good variation, and tracks that should fit the taste of a bigger audience than the usual trance heads. Most of the tracks builds up in a nice way, and we get some nice breaks in there too. So, if you are into progressive trance or house, check it out!
