(Goa Trance/Psychedelic/Techno) Man With No Name - Discography (4 Albums + 7 Singles + 7 Vinyls + 2 UNR) - 1990-2009, MP3 (tracks), VBR 160-320 kbps

Notice how some people, the more they try to appear cool, the more they fail miserably? Marilyn Manson, Axl Rose, the guy from Ugly Kid Joe, anyone?! Well, Martin Freelander is facing the same problem here and there on Earth Moving The Sun. At least on Seratonin Sunrise where singer Mickey Banks is doing the best he can to sound like a bad boy struggling with some really ... really (!) lame lyrics. Please leave such tasks to Massive Attack or Underworld, thank you!
What else we got here? Well, the album is out on Perfecto and it shows and not in a good way As excited I was about Moment Of Truth, as ungrabbed this leaves me. I mean, a favourite track here has to be something like Treagle, which is nothing but a nice little track, but at least staying somewhat true to the psy/ambient genre. Tracks like the opener Vavoom, Seratonin Sunrise, Own The World, The First Day (Horizon), well, basically, ALL tracks instead land in some psy/club-trance/border techno category I've never been into.
So, a great disappointment? Well, yes, cause Martin seemed to have all the potential on Moment Of Truth, but what we are treated here is fast food easy consumerable, forgettable, twelve on the dozen type of trance. Which is sad cause the last tracks on this album works better than the first half and gives reason to believe he still knew what it was all about. Parallel Universe certainly stays closer to psy even if it may need to be played at the darkest hour not to have me thinking it's cheese ;o) And my favourite here, closing track The Breech, isn't bad either.
But if you like melodic club trance with edge (I'll give Martin that!), you may very well love this album.

This is the first ever release made by Martin Freeland under the guise of Man With No Name, undeniably one of the pioneers of the trance sound formed in the mid 1990s.
At the beginning of his music career Martin Freeland used the artist names of "Mr. E" and "Aceeid!" whilst producing acid house tracks in the UK in the late 1980s.
Man With No Name rose to fame when the then upcoming DJ Paul
Oakenfold picked up a couple of MWNN DATs in Goa and played 4 of his tracks in his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix on the 19th March 1994.
Later that year Martin Freeland was signed as the flagship producer on the new Perfecto Fluro label with the storming track Floor-Essence.
Way Out West is admittedly an amusing and primative acid house track containing many samples from Clint Eastwood and providing the inspiration to use the artist name Man With No Name.
From With the Mind of My 909 brings us nearer to the famous MWNN sound thanks to the lovely synth, however this track still falls firmly within acid house territory.

Hey all... I'm back, with Man With No Name's latest effort. I've been on the lookout for new stuff from him for a while - he seemed to go a little bit quiet for a brief period... but appears to be coming back strong, with a new remix of 'Teleport' (recently rel'd by Impulsion) and now this 12".
The a-side is a remix of what I think is his newest production - 'Reincarnation'. It's a nice tune... but with perhaps a more commercial feel to it than MWNN's originals. Unfortunately the original mix isn't on this 12" from Atomic... not sure why :/.
The flip has a tune called 'Revenge' that I'm *SURE* I've heard before... maybe on one of his albums or something. Regardless, it is a much more typical MWNN production - a lot of psychedelic elements and distorted synth lines. Probably not for everyone, but for MWNN fans, another great original tune, coupled with a remix probably crafted to cross onto more commercial dancefloors.
