FuriousNot so long ago, I stated, that the Russians just do it best at the moment. While that was not exactly true, as Alienapia are Ukrainians to be precise, I'll extend that statement to Eastern Europe :)
Artists like Manifold, Sulima, Alienapia, Samadhi, Luminexia, Psykovsky, Furious - to only name a few, have been responsible for some very high quality releases in recent times. Russian project Dissociactive is no exception and it's 2010 album, called Total Transformation is an awesome piece of psytrance music.

Sun Station Total Transformation
DISSOCIACTIVE
(Digipack CD)
Straight after “Underwater Lab EP” Sun Station brings you “Total Transformation” – a new full length work by famous russian psychedelic master Dissociactive. After successful debut album “Block Out”, released on Acidance Records in 2005, it took several years to bring next psychedelic masterpiece to worldwide audience. New album is specifically created for total transformation of your consciousness by means of full power psychedelic music. Drop away all your fears and doubts and let the sound flow through your body. All tracks on the album are charged with intense grooves, enveloped with catchy melodies on different layers and spiced by infectious psychedelic sounds. No doubt that such ingredients will make people blasting on the dance floors from midnight till early morning. Slava Iskanyan, for now the only member of the project, putted lots of effort in his work on synthesis and effects to improve the original Dissociactive sound. As a result, he made it even more clear and diverse, thereby brought it to the level, which not every artist on the scene has. Music is deeply filled with “old school” psytrance roots and mounted with fresh high-tech sound design. So, psychedelic heads of all generations will find something interesting for their ears, legs and wondering souls. Just keep your mind opened and you will see how the world around will transform whether you are on freak floor or at home.
That pretty much sums it up. While the album feels deeply psychedelic, the "high-tech sound design" results in a cold, techy, moody, somewhat darker and twisted atmosphere, something one would love to hear at nighttimes. This is no uplifting release like so many others, but a very powerful, proper stomping one that's guaranteed to own dancefloors around the world - and your cerebral cortex. The totally crisp and crystal clear sounds creep into every neuron and seem to cause an electric storm there...they force you to either dance or trip!
Tracks like Time Sphere or Stalker rank among the best I've heard in a while, hell, the whole album is one of the best psytrance releases in a long time! Be sure to check out samples at Sun Station's website.
