Yahel - Waves Of Sound was released in the year 2000 but it is still worth a review because more people has to discover this album. Before I listened to this album for the first time, I had only heard Voyage, Mr Club Trance and Reality which I think all are amazingly good song. One thing keeps my mind busy though, I cant place Yahel in any specific genre. He makes music that fits in to most trance-genres. Its a collection of Clubtrance, Goatrance, Hardtrance and Acidtrance. All mixed together in every single song. The album starts out with a quite discrete song called Going Up [Trance Remix]. Even if it is descrete, it is a very good song, but not really anything that will hold for years. Better is to come when it goes over to the track Waves Of Sound, which is a club-inspired goa-track. Very nice sequences with freaked filter-frenzy sounds. And here is the first time you hear why I would call Yahel genious. Yahel does know how to make great hooklines.
All hooklines on this album are worth to be remembered, and you dont have to think hard, because you will go around and hum on them for quite some time. The next track is The Only Way, in which we can recognize the bassdrum from Voyage, its the same. Those reversed grooves fits in so well! That snappy bassline gives the track lots of energy. And once again Yahel just throws in a massive arpeggio-sequence which is fabulous, and at six minutes sharp, we hear the same sound that we hear in the sequence of Yahel - Reality, but it doesnt bother you that its the same sound and the same note-follow. I can go on about every track on this album, about the amazing leads, but I will cut down a few now. Next track is Sun Screen, one of the best track on the album, amazing leads, gouryella-bassline, but still goa. I wonder what synths Yahel uses to make this clean metallic sounds. Next track, Deep Feelings, is one of those descrete tracks again. Its kind of easy listening, but still great. From there we go to the track D.N.A. I have never heard a track with this lame bassdrum, but it fits in so good. Very ambient and multiple sequences running together. This is the first track that I notice any transponents in.
Next up is Strange Emotion, that begins with some weird sounds that are soon to give you a hookline worth to save in a locker. Last man in the universe, the next track, begins with some choir-synths and those goa-effects that are typical for goa. It rolls on pretty easy and gets you to the track Intelligent Life, the track that reminds a little of Voyage, but still not. There is another track that reminds more about Voyage, and that is the last track, For The People (Radio Edit). This track is the best on the album by my opinion. The leadsound is the same as the one in Voyage but its so great used in this track. SO what is my conclution of this album then? Well, its a fabulous album that is goa but will, for sure, attract standard clubtrance-fans. I would suggest you to buy this track. Its available in every big CD-store for sure, otherwise try CDon.
