Comment: thanks to this 9-track issue I
discovered there had been existed an imprint called Sun Station for some years
which was an umbrella for trance-related music. Today we know Ektoplazm has an
analogue purpose to put into practice. More profoundly, Kadasarva`s Steamagination is a skewed instance of
trance music where frequently quite obtuse rave-up rhythmic vibes are variegated
with electro noises, and some sonic effects to broaden the soundscape and
search for new combinations in sound and stylistic aspect. Let`s be honest to
say trance music as a genre is relatively bumptious and simplistic because the
genre`s aesthetical nature is anchored to higher levels of rhythmic burning only
and at times the artists operating within it go beyond good taste, however, psychedelic
tendencies within it help to alleviate and balance it (In the mid-90s there was
a thread of mainstream and club acts which were tagged as “German trance” by
underground people). For instance, listen to North Pole, a track with a more breezy insight into the style and
album. Indeed, the album embraces a bunch of chord and pace changes to be a
solid shape-shifter inside the borders. By the way, one track called The Krypt was originally created by another Ukraine-based project called Submatukana but there is Kadasarva`s remake. On the other side, regarding the
cover print of the current issue and the ones under Ektoplazm it could be said
this and those are fascinating ones either. On the whole, the result is
masterfully produced and channelized because the thin line of “bad music” has been
avoided throughout the course.
