Finally they are out with their second album on Acidance Records...

Parasense from Russia is out with their second album on Acidance Records. They had big success with their first album Apple, released early 2001.

Parasense "Avangaro" Acidance Records 2003 (ACIDCD007)

1. Gidra
2. Speech Work
3. Stop The Sickness
4. Mail Delivered
5. Ritual Of Drags
6. Meteor Shield
7. Tarakashi
8. Big Rave With No Name
9. Skriamer

Parasense is famous for a totally dark sound picture. Their music is very monotonous, but not minimal. You get a lot of tiny psychedelic sounds in between now and then, and usually a little melody at the end. The first track is the same style as on the Apple album. Very hard pumping dark trance with a few small psychedelic sounds. Track 2 goes the same style, but after a few minutes you get a cool dark melody that sounds like heavy guitars. Track 4 follows with high bpm and a lot of scary noisy sounds. No light sounds to be found here… Track 5 is another fast going stumper, with dark industrial sounds. Reminds me a lot of techno, with very monotonous rhythms and sounds. Track 6 goes the same direction, but maybe with some more massive sounds. Track 7 has even more scary and noisy sounds, but still monotonous. Track 8 is better, with more psychedelic sound picture, still very dark. The last track on the album goes the same style. Pure dark night trance.

This album isn`t much different from their first. In my opinion it sounds a bit simple, but it will for sure please some of you who like hard banging dark psy. Russian trance is a bit overestimated in my opinion.

Finally :) This long awaited album from the russian guys, this cd is just what I expected !! Track 1, Gidra isn`t anything special though, I didn`t like it, but if you just skip that one you have 8 tracks to have really fun with... Track 2 is very good, nice bassline, and t3 follows the same style, even harder bassline, one hell of a track!! t4 also very good, t5, ritual of Drugs is a killer, nice bass, not as "pumping" as 2&3, but harder and the kicks makes a nice "clack" sound, great!! T6&7 is at 148 BPM, fast and hard, same style as 2&3, very good !! No tracks on this cd under 144 BPM, very hard and dancefloor-oriented !! Track 8 is pumping again, great track,with the same "clack" as T5, and then we have t9, which starts very good, but listen very carefully to the last 3:30 min of the track, God damn !!! So excellent, hard, pumping, I love the end of this track, the bassline changes three times... Do you like the older Parasense, buy this one straight away !! I give it 10/10, to bad Track 1 don`t follow the same style as none of the rest! :)
