Release information:
TRI-Force is the solo project of Sha-A, mover and shaker in the Japanese trance scene. Japan's ELF Music is proud to announce his long awaited album. His aims to combine various musical elements, Classical music, traditional Japanese music, minimal techno, ambient music etc, through a filter of own. A magnificent view of it's world and stylish beautiful sound, TRI-Force expresses "a feeling of Trance" which Trance music itself originally has, and it is transmitted toward the world as well as Japan. Joining on the worldwidely reputed compilation "After 10 Years of Japanese Trance" with a track "Interstellar Harmonics" (is on this album, too). The dynamic and progressive track fits perfectly for opening of the compilation and gives brilliant impression on it. Also, TRI-Force joins to the compilation "Zen" by Russian Deja vu Records with the track "Day Dreaming" and the name is known abroad. Sha-A started DJing at chill out spaces mainly when he studied "relation of sound and vital reaction" at university. In 2003, joined to "Za. Uzumaki Kyoudai" which was the favored band at party. He played bamboo flute as the third son of the band, and expressed "Wabi-Sabi" feeling of traditional Japanese music on the unique and mysterious rhythmic world by eldest son Zombo and second son Ubartmar. He met Nata(didgeridoo player) when he played for "Za. Uzumaki Kyoudai" and formed a unit "NatarSha" With playing live for "NatarSha", he started composing Trance music. Since then he has frequently played at party so far and played with Israeli Dynamic, Melicia, DJ Miko etc. The huge outdoor festival "Nagisa" which was held in April this year and 10,000 people gathered there. He played with Tsuyoshi, Domino, Ubartmar, and Uni and heated the crowd. On this album, "Longing / Love" is a remix of a song by genius pianist George Winston. It is the famous song used as a commercial song of a car, but TRI-Force completed the beautiful melody to fit perfectly to the Trance track. TRI-Force has a side project called "OCOT" which is featured soft melody on House/Trance music. At the party "Magnificent" which was held at Studio Coast Ageha Tokyo in April this year, Paul van Dyk noticed TRI-Force and plans to put his track on the forthcoming Mix CD. As a Japanese track maker, TRI-Force accomplishes an exceptional achievement.
Now, Japanese Trance evolves...

6. Dream Circulation

Entrance To Reality is the debut album of Yoshinori Saito from Tokyo, he wrote all tracks, except T.6 which is a remix of a track from George Winston. The mastering was done by Tatsuya Kase & the graphic design is by Masaki Obari.
1. Opening on a quite long & sweet morning muffled intro upto 1’25, then a quite discret rythmic appears with a round kick. Since the intro your brain will be hooked by the morning floating layer & harmony, from 2’06 there’s a little tip for the background rythmic made of sounds close a repairman hitting on something. The atmosphere is like a wonderful wake up, thanks to your open window you can already smell the morning dew on the roses (the melodic lead from 2’20) copled with an imminent sunrise (at 3’20 with the voice sample fx). At 4’10, the content gets slightly more clubby but results still a lot acceptable, little by little all your senses set
up back to their optimized possibilities. From 6’20 your energy bar is full, you’re now ready for a full day fill in with mental & physical activities.
2. Water drops & didgeridoo (performed by Nata) constitute this mysterious intro, quite long once again upto 1’57, whereas the rythmic elements,a bit more smashing, have already appeard since 1’10. The kick is very round though. A very far spatial layer opens the harmonic part, soon followed by several elements, reinforcing the lost & cosmic floating feeling. The coming of the didgeridoo at 3’19 is a but unexpected & incongruous for me nevertheless from a pure japanese musical conception it doesn’t surprised me as much after all (i mean japanese oftenly make & experiment weird mixing tones compared to more classical european sounding approach in their productions).
All along the tune you may noticed a little sparkling sounding like an instantaneous fairy appearance (for example at 2’08 ) to guide through out space in the good direction.
From 5’35 the track evolves to an happier sonic unniverse part compared to the didgeridoo one, the melody makes me think to a little facetious cartoonish character dancing by jumping from one feet to another describing a circle.
3. This time no big intro, direct to more night dancing coloration of course the speed is faster, the rythmic more kickin & the tones results too a bit less polish, at least at first upto 2’13. The melodic lead comes then & Tri-Force , as i already explained before, like to surf on the edge with some more clubby elements from time to time. That’s slightly the case with this lead but it’s more obvious with the one at 4’36 in a slighty sour way, but nothing cheesy for me. A break made of samples ‘Give me one rythmn’ ‘please write Trance Personnal Waves’ ,‘Welcome to reality’ with a slightly robotized voice occurs from 5’28 upto 5’58.
Then the cyber-robotic feeling of the voice is kept with the following harmony & the squeaning rawly hacked tone upto 6’53. Time to let place for a 1’20 outro still in the cosmic floating & i’m bit lost in the outerspace way but i’m having strong fun.
4. The sound of the intro is typical for me from the basket playing, i mean the sound produced by the baskets on the wooden area while running &changing direction. The kick gets one more time louder here. There’s some fairy loops illuminating the tune from 1’34. Upto 3’34. Time for a progresively floating break made of the remaining fairy loop letting place to a magic up & down going carillon & backgrounded woman voice layer. The rythmic retstart at 5’08 with the pre-quoted elementes. The track wins in density with a melodic lead at 6‘00 unfortunatly i find it to be too clubby-cheesy this time, hopefully it doesn’t last longly (hardly a minute). Then there’s the come-back of the fairy loops at 6’54 that have vanished earlier for a nice sweat progressive outro.
5. The intro let think that this tune will more look like to Trance Personnal Waves & that’s what happens : a more night dancing atmosphere, or maybe grey cloudy should i say, embellish with more boisterous tones. The spirit with Tri-Force still keep cosmic floating exploration like with this layer at 2’02. It’s another nice spatial trip without doubt more energic & shifting though, like especially from 6’02. Just close your eyes & switch on your brain…
6. This one is a step forward into the clubby sphere announcing the clubby climax of the album with the next track. Very limit on the edge with proof of the melodic lead at 2’13 that really sounds clubby-puffing to my eardrums. The backgrounded morning floating harmonies are still present & the tune gets a bit more chiseled after 3’00, even if some noticeable clubby trademarks remain as some drumrolls at 4’25, 4’50 & the big one at 5’40 in guise of break. At this moment (3’06) the melodic part is kinda slighty sour rain falling over you. After the break at 5’15 & the restart, you’ve got some typical psychedelic hacked autotuned voice as a melodic part at 6’45.
7. I don’t like too much this one coz it’s a just remix , so it means it doesn’t receall all Tri-Force trademarks for me. Indeed it’s just too way clubby for me that’s all, just check as main example the piano part at 4’30 and at 6’15 in order that you’ll be able to make yourself an opinion about it. So i skip it.
8. Last one with a pumping structure, posseeds an undeniable positively happy energic & bouncing melody from 1’20. This must be the first time in the album i have this impress of a fat bass sustaining the whole construction & also about so much musical power in a Tri-Force’s tune, check it at 2’ 50 for example. The tune textures gets very rich around 3’00 then comes back to more lightess progresively upto the floating break at 4’00. Around 5’30 a more clubby synth is added but as mentionned before, the whole content is already very rich so it doesn’t bother me here, taken me away inside the big musical Tri-Force tornado ; same thing later on even if this time it is more noticeable with the melodic lead.
Favorites :All except 7.
If you aren’t allergic to some clubby influences mixed with floating morning melodies & harmonies, Tri-Force is probably as strong as Phi (from Elf-Music also), even maybe a little better but in a different style.
8,5/10 Recommended

TRI-FORCE
Entrance To Reality
The first album of Tri-Force, is a very well thought and build journey into heartful trance ...
The trip starts with a progressive morning trance with smart sounds distribution.
Then it continues its trend into a wider aural spectrum allowing us to enjoy the beauty of trance.
A lot of passage are made of uplifting leimotiv increasing the sensation on being on a movie-like trip.
Also, a beautiful remix integration of a classical piano master piece by George Winston is to be noted.
What a pleasure to listen to such an album, can not wait to hear it live, and better live outside in the morning ... |

Elf Music is back with another solid CD, this time from TRI-Force, who was previously featured on their "After 10 Years of Japanese Trance" compilation. This time around the emphasis is a little less on the "psy" and more on the "trance" with this airy, somewhat progressive work. This album reminds me of a mixture of the better parts of the old school progressive trance vibe of about 5 years ago (not to be confused with the new subgenre of “progressive” which is utterly different) with some strong psy touches, especially in the bass, kicks and track construction.
Layerd Oscillation starts us off with some heavy melodic work that sets the tone for the album. Lots of melody and nothing to too distorted or filtered and pitch shifted to death. Aquasphere is next and gives us some nice ethnic intro action before jumping back into the fray and gating the hell out of those same bits later on.
Trance Personal Waves gets things shaking a little more mixing some traditional clean and glittery progressive trance moods and melodies with some more modern crazy psy-influenced flybys and effects. Nice stuff. Spectral Breeze is next and is a hair dark with its big bass sonic blobs in the beginning. This track could go full-on, but TRI-Force again chooses clean glittering synth sounds rather than zippy distorted ones and off we go soaring again.
Interstellar Harmonics you might know as the great start off track to Elf Music's "After 10 Years of Japanese Trance" compilation. As was the case then, it is a great track, 'nuff said. Dream Circulation starts off a hair hard and dirty before going into full attack mode on the big airy progressive trance sounds. Full on psy fans might find this cheesy, but I love it.
Longing / Love -Moondance Remix has a lot of full on psy sounds going on between the bass and kick and the crazy flyby effects, but this ain't your usual full on by any means. We even get treated to some major piano action in the second half of the track. Finally we have Oncoming Oriental Transformers closing out the album. Again we have this sort of "modern full on" background used for more clean progressive sounding trance sound going on. Things get built up to full boil at the end with lots of fairly dense melodic action.
I'm sure lots of full on and psy purists will argue that this release maybe shouldn't be here and is boring, too cheesy, and generally not "killah" enough, but I say the hell with that. I say ignore your subgenre addictions and give this a shot because this is just good trance purely in "trance" terms. As a psy-trance fan, I might not listen to this all the time, but its definitely high on the list when I want something a little less crazy but still keeps the feet moving. Especially recommended for those who like uplifting vibes and melody. Not recommended for those who only listen to dark distorted stuff.
