Orkidea - Taika (Selected Works 98-03)

Finally this long awaited album got released at least in Scandinavia! Album is a non-mixed collection of some Orkidea's selected works and remixes. I give this a very strong 10/10!!

1. Orkidea - Inner Peace (7:59)
- Stunningly beautiful dreamy breakz track using samples from "the Matrix". 10/10

2. Orkidea - Unity (10:13)
- We all know this one, a trancy remake of "Dead Can Dance - The Host Of Seraphim". 10/10

3. Orkidea - Beautiful (7:32)
- Full on, almost goaesque trancer. Very well worth the title. 9/10

4. DJ Orkidea feat. Valeska - Melancholy (10:08)
- A bit darker and deeper vocal trancer. Might even work in a proggier set. 10/10

5. Space Manoeuvres - Stage One (DJ Orkidea Remix) (9:15)
- The most hunted remix of this John Graham production. IMO the very best remix with some 303s tweaking along. 10/10

6. DJ Ti�sto - Flight 643 (DJ Orkidea's 'Wintergalactic' Remix) (8:40)
- Very beautiful and smooth remix of the Ti�sto track and also some 303s to give it a little edge. 10/10

7. Aalto - Rush (Super8 vs. Orkidea Remix) (7:51)
- This mix has been played by about all the big trance names in the scene.. very uplifting with lots of energy. 9/10

8. Leama - Labrynth (Orkidea Remix) (10:48)
- Very dreamy and slowly building remix of Leama's classic track. One of my Orkidea favs. 10/10

Maybe i'm a bit biased with my opinions but i love this album. Its one of my fav album of the year might even be the best album of 2003 for me. If you have purchased this, gimme your opinions about it too!

Buy it HERE if you have a credit card.

I'd buy this one for sure but as it happens I only have �1.96 on me.

Okay, so Inner Peace must be the Matrix sampling track that Orkidea was first playing like two years ago but nobody could ever id it, right?... Damn, I can't wait to get my own copy, should get it on Monday.

probably not, unity could never be released because of the shit with the other song, perhaps a whitelabel vinyl sampler would be nice though huh?

Actually it's not in full on the album.. its 9:15 while full version is 10:30. Notice that also the Flight 643 remix is slightly shortened.

OMFG! i fucking love this album! maybe one of the best albums ever! i really really love this one! i don't have any bad words about this album. i really hope this gets spread wide as orkidea does deserve it.

i'll give this one a solid 10/10!!!!

i've been playing this on repeat since yesterday and i'm still going strong with it!
