01 Joseph On The Air AMC2

Rejoice, for Rosti has returned to TOUCH Samadhi with seven journeys through the mind’s eye that defy genre expectations and bridge the past with the future. “Joseph on the Air” starts with a mysterious cinematic atmosphere, choppy vocals, and breakbeats (!) before flipping itself over a bouncing oompah bass that leads to a textured but deep finale full of anticipation, setting the course for our listening experience. “Paradigm shift” ridse a high-intensity bassline through a shifting maze of mirrors, and “Random Trigger” follows with highly tactile atmospheres, both evoking early 2000s-era Twisted Records psytrance and its balance of creative exploration with dancefloor power. “Rubber Band Stars” changes direction with throaty MS20 riffs and Goa Trance vibes, a story continued with the hyperdrive bop of “Space Lullaby.” The penultimate track, “The Abyss,” is an anxious dive among cyborg leviathans that might be the album’s most intense experience. In classic style, however, the album ends with a downtempo experience - this one driven by a slow breakbeat and an enormous sense of space populated by disembodied voices. Simultaneously a classic Goa album and a forward-thinking defiance of trance-as-usual, “Random Trigger” demonstrates a range and versatility that deserves to be appreciated both in comfortable at-home listening and on chest-rattling soundsystems.
