Another World

As a long time listener of electronica and dance music, it takes takes a lot to impress me. Astral projection did just that with Dancing Galaxy and their other masterpeice Dancing. Truly the cream of the crop of trance music. Sure, it has repetitive beats, but that is just the track that this train is on as it transports you away. If you are a fan of goa or psy trance, then this needs to be in your collection. The samples, esp. the ones from the movie DUNE, really add to the otherworldlyness of this experience.

Like another reviewer said, I've been looking for a long time for that perfect mix of energy, ambience and trancy sound. I found that here. This album sets the bar.

TIP: I found this for much less on e bay - I suggest checking there before paying outrageous seller fees.

I'd never heard of Astral Projection and was always looking for that RIGHT Ambient Electronic Trance sound. I finally found it after downloading a copy of Distant Galaxy and that blew me away!!!! It captured the whole meaning of trance and how the music allows you to float into whatever realm your mind can conjure. Have these guys ever made a video or DVD of how they interpret their moods and music visually?? Now that would be a priority purchase

All the reviewers seem too agree. This is one of the best albums ever made. This and AP's other great one "Dancing Galaxy" have some of the most thourough soundscapes. Perfected by not over or under doing it, these tracks are quality and will endure many other trance projects that simply can't compete. Enjoy!

But this comes very very friggen close. This CD is just astonishing. From track to track (as I listen even right now) I find myself in a deep mood of appreciation for the genre. Searching for UFO's almost made me go outside with a telescope. The songs just leave you with a undescribeable feeling. No words can describe my specific desires to music, but if you like Juno Reactor, Bypass Unit, and even some "Pop Techno" such as older Crystal Method or Paul Oakenfold, you may just find yourself in a musical bliss as I did. Music grows on you...almost ever CD is not what you expected, which is commonly linked to let down. All I say is try everything with as open mind as possible...you may just be suprised on how much things can grow on you. I do not believe this CD is perfect, as perfect gets handed out on this ratings often, but I can say I have no gripes with this cd myself.

If you are into trance or electronic music Astral Projection is a must have. I am biased because they are my favorite electronic band. However, as biased as I may sound, I have to give a realistic opinion. If you are into mainstream stuff and want to check out something different, but don't know where to start, this is definately what you need to listen to. If you are into psy or goa and still haven't listened to Astral Projection, then you should be ashamed of yourself;)
