Product Description
Review
That the Dutchies love their big-room sounds is no secret. From Sander Kleinenberg and Tiesto to Ferry Corsten, Marco V and Armin van Buuren: The country has churned out more than its fair share of high profile crowd-pleasers, many of whom have straddled not only the realms of techno and trance but also the usual divisions between underground and mainstream.
Sander Van Doorn is the latest in this royal lineage, and Supernaturalistic his statement of intent. Hailed by some as 'the saviour of trance', fans of van Doorn will know he's as much of a techno aficionado as a trance don, and many of his key productions - Dark Roast and Grasshopper; King of My Castle and By Any Demand - merge these genres in a savvy and uplifting manner.
On Supernaturalistic, the DJ/Producer continues the same line of attack, flitting between hands-in-the-air euphoria and deeper, more penetrative workouts. Following the compelling intro Look Inside Your Head, fans will be delighted to hear the growling, pulsing fury of van Doorn's anthemic Riff, a monster of a tune whose power has not diminished over time.
His King Bee-sampling By Any Demand, on the other hand, still carries the whiff of cheesy novelty that made it hit and miss for many of us in the first place. 15, Apple, and Pura Vida get things back on track, bringing into play van Doorn's penchant for heady, euphoric sounds and an undercurrent of serious dancefloor hedonism.
More subtle fare is proffered too: the pounding Sushi, forthcoming single The Bass, (a monster of a track that carries a memorable French Kiss-style build), and the previously released Grasshopper, one of his more epic moments all underline the producer's penchant for a spot of minimalism.
Elsewhere van Doorn shows off his expanded palette by tackling melodic mid tempo fillers (Lobby) and coming up with leftfield tunes like the skittering, menacing Dozer. Closing track, Outrospective, provides a ray of optimism that we realize has been notably lacking on Supernaturalistic. But despite a dearth of vocals and a general play-it-safe approach, this is a solid clubbers' album that will secure van Doorns place in the Dutch Trance Hall Of Fame. --Paul Sullivan

Grows on you....,
By
This review is from: Supernaturalistic (Audio CD)
I bought this album ages ago and it's still a favourite when it spins on the ipod. I can easily listen to the whole thing without skipping a track. Also seen him live a few times which helps. I find his music quite uplifting.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Pleasantly surprising,

This review is from: Supernaturalistic (Audio CD)
Until I listened to this album, I was fairly convinced that trance had driven itself down a boring and predictable cul-de-sac. However, Sander re-invents trance with some fantastically interesting and fun tunes. I don't think there's a dud track on here, though the bouncer talking at the end of the last track is just plain irritating. I'll be editing that bit out! I'll definitely be looking out for more Sander in future.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great album,

This review is from: Supernaturalistic (Audio CD)
This has been on repeat since i bought it upon release, and i'm still enjoying this greatly. The works I have on vinyl already include 'Grasshopper' and 'Back by demand' still sound great but all the other and newer tunes on this are awesome. There is only one bad tune to be found on this album, and that is not a tune as such , just some american shouting and kicking people out of the club at the end of the night before the one more tune finale/ a beautiful and most trancey tune on the album (girl you lost to cocaine, SIA SVD remix)
Techno/trance bass fuelled beats that are prominent on this album will not make you fail to smile from ear to ear and make you want to go clubbing again. Awesome!! Thankyou Sander.
