"'Inside...' is the band's fourth album and just MIGHT actually be their best work yet.I only recognized two of the original line-up members from previous Melting Euphoria discs,bassist Anthony Who and moog player Zero.One difference on this CD is that there are no vocals with the exception of a prerecorded chant.After this title came out,I personally contacted bassist Who to inquire more detailed info about this outstanding effort.'Inside...' grows on you,QUICK.The tunes that I thought stood out the most were the trippy "Dreaming Waves Engulf My...","Amplified Ohm","Landships Awake" and "Celestial Mysteria".If you've never heard of this band before,'Inside...' would be a great chance for you to get introduced to the psychedelic movement.A brand of late '60's/early '70's music that seems to be returning here and again.Highly recommended."

Trippy and Beyond!

"I fell in love with Melting Euphoria with an impulse buy of "She Wants to Take Us Over the Edge of the World". This came before "She Wants", and it has many of the signature tribal beats that everyone talks about. The songs are\seem a bit longer on this venture, with nifty bright spots like the end of 'Mad Existence'. "Gardens" is more fanciful and a bit techno-future than "She Wants", which was like a multicolored crayon. "Gardens" is an unstable wormhole, dropping you off at many different spots. Rare as hell, these things are great for raves, tripsitting(*cough), or hypnotizing your younger siblings."
