about

Unreleased Goa Records is very proud to introduce "Unier", a talented Goa Trance project from Norway, and his magnificent Psy-Fi album "Falling Into A Black Hole". Andreas Lillebø Holm produced his first Goa Trance tracks in 1998. He bought a Yamaha CS2x, a Novation Supernova and an Alesis Ion, sampled instruments and used them in Impulse Tracker. Under the guidance of his brother Rune, he learned how to experiment with this software before switching to Sonar and Cubase. Andreas developed his own definition of Goa Trance based on melodic and science-fiction elements, creating complex themes with diverse harmonic synthesizers. The project name "Unier" (short for "Unifier") embodies Andreas's creative approach: inspired by the universe and all related questions and unknown elements it brings to our life, he combines various trance elements to form his own style.

The album "Falling Into A Black Hole" metaphorically signifies what has been the red thread of Andreas’s musical explorations and immersion into science-fiction. It compiles 10 amazing tracks, most of them produced between 1998 and 2003. "Inscrutable Mechanics", a blend of 808 drums with Goa elements, is Andreas’s first psytrance creation and a personal milestone. This track (and others featured on this album) was once available on the popular MP3.com platform. They are all now released, for the first time, in full audio quality. The only exception is "Extendable", enhanced with the aid of modern technology, as it did not survive as a true wave file. The album includes also the recently produced "Sailors Of The Mind" and "Colonizing The Unknown", two brilliant pieces faithful to the style and spirit of Unier's early work. The artist took the trouble to produce them using old tracker techniques with Renoise along with Ableton Live.

Astral Projection, Infected Mushroom, Man With No Name and Hallucinogen count among the classical influences of the Unier sound. Fans of a softer approach of melodic Goa Trance transcended by spiritual pads will probably find his style reminiscent also of projects such as Ethereal, Ypsilon 5 or Dimension 5. Naturally, a great amount of underground tracker music also influenced the Unier sound, as Andreas was deeply into the demo-scene. As part of a demo group called "Moondreamers", he created music for the compositions, some demos and a few fast intros, and participated in the 2001 and 2002 editions of "The Gathering" competition held at Vikingskipet, Hamar, Norway. Other members of Moondreamers were Andreas’s brother, Rune Holm (known as "Titanstar") and Egil Hasting ("HiGen"), who will both release unpublished material on Unreleased Goa Records in the near future.
