Opus Iridium means “Rainbow Artwork” or “Artwork for the Rainbows”, or even “Rainbow Crafted” in latin.
Opus Iridium is a compilation that is specially made to celebrate the 10th Suntrip cd. Because of that we wanted to give something special, A double cd!
One cd is filled with ambient music and the other cd is positive dance floor music.
CD 1 is the psytrance-cd. This cd is filled with over 70 minutes of goa trance madness. As usual it is a mix of famous and less famous names… The most interesting new feature is probably the return of Shakta. Seb Taylor made a goa trance track for the first time in many years! Also Ethereal celebrates his comeback on this cd! Filteria we all know of course and also Afgin and Radical Distortion are known for their positive music from earlier releases on Suntrip.
E-Mantra is one of the newcomers, his music is rather dreamy straight forward super psychedelic while the other two newcomers, Artifact303 and Ajna prefer the uplifting melodic morning goa trance style.
CD 2 is the total opposite, chilled sequences, beautiful melodies and soft beats by a lot of famous ambient masters. Many of them known of course from Ultimae Records, like Aes Dana, Asura and Solar Fields. Others like Electrypnose surprised the world lately with their harmonic chill music and Ra needs no introduction of course! But also here we have some newcomers; E-Mantra you know from the first cd, and he proves here that he is able to make many kinds of music. Siebzehn and Astral Waves (aka Dj Zen) released on other compilations in the past as well. And Mindsphere opens this cd with a great floating track!
