Private Collection

Studio album by Yahel Sherman

After the Goa Trance infused psychedelia of Yahel's first two albums, and the more Club-oriented waves of Mixing in Action Yahel returned to the studio for his third artist album, Private Collection. This time around Yahel had matured in his sense of production moving away from Goa and psytrance in favor of a more rich and technical sound, that is evident from the opening track Come Inside. It may not sound as organic as his previous work but there is still a warmth that finds it s way to the listener. The flow into the urgency of Electro Panic, another collaberation with Erez Aizen. This track gives the album a sense of immidiacy, and alarm. Yahel is showing that while his style may have moved into new territory, he can still create headbanging anthems. Avalanche, is another classic track of Yahel's a dark journey through space with just the right touch of ambiance and melody. This is a track that defies categorization and simply exists. Step By Step keeps the album moving along its deep dark path. It is a strong track with tribal beats and just a touch of emotion. Scratch is a bit of a throwback, it listens like Goa, but is stripped to its essentials. This track is a bit of a precursor to of future sounds. Heartache is another deep pulsing track more like psytrance but not as intense. Unsual is a warm ambient mix of styles and flows perfectly into Crystal Blue. This is a dark album meant to be listened to more that to be anthemic on the dance floor as is evident from Crystal Blue. This is another psytrance influenced piece of ambient sounds. The album ends with the ethereal and somewhat disturbing track Bomb Creator which takes a look at the other side of terrorism. Not usual material to be covered by Electronic music, but if Paul Van Dyk taught us anything with his epic Politics of Dancing it is about the larger social culture inherent in all forms of popular music.
