Is Astral Projection - For all mankind an success?
Skytrancer replied to Radish6404's topic in General Psytrance
It’s a question of taste, I love their music since 1998 and I love their new album too although I listened to most of these tracks in many parties. The album is still growing on me, it’s a whole story (as written by Amit, his daughter, I have same feelings), I don’t compare it to the past, technologies, people etc... have evolved. I know they wanted to make a mix between old style and new technologies, it’s equal to my expectations, most of people following them on Facebook and Instagram love it too (according to many comments I saw). Again, it’s a question a taste, it’s impossible to make something that everyone will love. -

this is just noobs uploading stuff and titling stuff whatever they want 😛 theres nothing here thats copyright infringement. sure the bassline follows the exact same progression and to fans it is CLEAR he is trying to do his own "spiritual healing" but its not a remix its a homage if anything but nothing more. -

you have a very strange taste when it comes to AP. for example you left out Nilaya out of your "another world" list. and you mentioned Ionized, zero, free tibet and kabalah on your "astral files" list and theyre all trash imho. Time began is good, utopia, electronic, ambience again trash. and you left out Enlightened evolution remix which is the single best one on that album and one of the best AP tracks full stop, top 3 without a doubt. your taste isnt Wrong, its just Odd, to me at least. i couldnt stand the sound of For all mankind so i havent listened to a single track on there more than once. it basically hurts my brain listening to it. but, considering your odd taste, what do you think of Dancing galaxy, which tracks do you prefer there, and which do you not like. again youre not wrong, everyone is entitled to their opinion and i respect yours fully. i just find it interesting. And one mans treasure is another mans trash and vice versa. but to answer your question i thought For all mankind was a huge fail. maybe in 5 years ill go back to it, realise im wrong. maybe. hard for me to gloss over the way it sounds though, its just too squashed and very very flat. -
Kitrinos started following CRONOMI IS NO LONGER and (val)Liam - Daydreamer

Nice down to earth ambient. Relaxing and soothing. Great if you are in the right mood.

It's a decision that's understandable in the current world. Not that many Goa labels out there anymore, innit? Or even labels that release CD for that matter. There's a slight renaissance for vinyl which on the other hand is positive news, if you're into that. I still like to play CDs though... no need to have computer/app open is such a relief.

This is sad news but also not too surprising in today's world. For me personally, I have been enjoying Goa trance since the late 90s but I had to drastically cut back my music purchases in recent years due to financial pressures which I am sure is the same for countless others (and no I don't go to festivals either). I think I had bought only 2 or 3 psy albums in the past 8 years. My rationale was that if and when my financial situation improved I would reward all my favorite artists at that point, but I see now, for some it is too late. However on a slightly happier note I have just bought Artha's 2 albums, M-Run - Some Run Just For Fun and Flumina - Globox. All digital download though as most of my CDs just end up wrecked these days. Thanks for all the great music and best wishes.

I just don't understand why you plan to destroy any remaining stock after some point, it makes no sense. It seems a disservice to the purpose you've served all these years and disrespectful to the artists.

Understandable. Talk about the same boring lineups with the same well-known names over and over again! Not to mention the very high ticket prices for the festivals.They are not affordable for many of us. It's kind of sad that many people who go to festivals have deep enough pockets to pay for travelling costs, festival tickets etc., but not for an album. You're probably right that most of the new audience don't really care about buying the music or at least getting acquainted with relevant discography. They just want to go to festivals, even if they don't know who's playing. I feel the scene is becoming more commercialised, like the rest of Psytrance. Fast food for the masses. Not sure though whether the Goa scene itself has shrunk. It seems it's becoming more mainstream. The underground feeling is fading away, and instead you get big expensive festivals with extravagant, flashy decoration, and very prominent, levelled up DJ decks, as if they are some kind of superstars. They look ridiculous, egotistic attention-seekers to me. When the scene emerged in Goa in its most authentic form it was not like this; the dancing experience itself was the focus. There are more events and music released than 15 years ago. It's just that there is no "quality control" anymore. As physical format is gradually being abandoned, individuals and labels can publish virtually anything online, which is not costly I suppose and therefore not risky. And then you end up with tons of music released, most of which is of poor quality, and most of which almost nobody buys.

We sadly announce that CRONOMI IS NO LONGER: the label stops all its activities for good. . First, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years! Many of you bought our releases blindly: many considered us a 'boutique' label with far out the best psychedelic dance music: that makes us proud! 🥳🤩 You, our fans, made it possible for us - the label and its wonderful artists involved - to bring out the best psychedelic dance music. For that we are very grateful!!! 😘 🤗 . . There are many reasons why Cronomi stops all its activities. Mainly it is due to the many negative changes in the goascene over the years. To sum up a few: . (1) The goa scene has shrunk a lot, so sales went down. 〽️ . (2) Many people prefer to stream music for free or at low budget (online): we can not compete with multinationals like youtube or spotify, who by the way don't share any of their profits with us - the revenue is very very small. Maybe it makes you more "visible", but sales never follow. With visibility you can't pay the bills . (3) People seem to prefer to spent their money on parties and festivals, but not on the creative input that makes the goa scene move forward - labels and artists are forgotten and it seems that the overall so called PLUR experience of the party or festivals goes before that of the support for the music that makes out the core of the scene. 🥸 . (4) Power and political games in the goa scene: many line ups are dominated by the same people over and over. Small and lesser known artists hardly get a fair chance. The time that good music promoted itself is gone. Cronomi is a label, nor a booking agency, nor a party organization and certainly not a hollow online promo machine. 🤑🤖 . . Conclusion: we can no longer afford to invest our own savings into the label with so little return. We hardly turn break even. It is sad that sales went down so much, because everything we released received much positive attention and good reviews. Music works therapeutic and still many people seem not to care enough to invest in it. That is a paradox with low selling rates: music helps us heal, but those who make the music receive hardly any support. A sad truth... . . The Cronomi stock will stay available for a while, BUT not for always. So if you want to still grab your copy, be fast! At a certain point all of the remaining stock will be destroyed. . . Thanks again to all our loyal fans - we will NEVER forget the appreciation you gave us 🥰 . Warm regards 🙏

Radish6404 replied to Radish6404's topic in General Psytrance
Sorry, but The Astral World is as complex as it gets, and way more complex than Tryptomine Dream or Visions of Nascaon Another World. It is even more complex than Electronic or Kabalah (new aGe Remix) from the main melodies. Also Into the Void, the Dream Himalaya and The Dream are very complex and have beautiful melodies. -

I think astral managed to create way more memorable melodies and patterns on the previous albums. This one was really flat. It felt the same as Prana's latest album, just really boring, although approachable stuff. There's nothing that sticks. - Yesterday

Radish6404 replied to Radish6404's topic in General Psytrance
And which album of them is great by you? Another world wit h only Tryptomine Dream, Aqua Line Spirit, Mahadeva 99 and Visions of Nasca or The Astral Files with Ionized, Zero, Free Tibet, Kabalah (new Age Remix), Time Began before the Universe (Another time Remix) Utopia (Concept Remix, Electronic, Ambeince. I think this album, For all Mankind, is not far away from them. -
It's well produced stuff, just that the melodies are completely uninteresting.

Man, the way this is going I'm never gonna reach even 10k.

It was really, really safe. I thought it was good, but not particulary great. Expectations were high and they weren't met. Again, good album, just nothing special. -
Manual validation is still on-going for several reasons. Unfortunately admins have been busy with life and approvals have taken a long time.

IS Astral Proection - For all mankindan Success? After 3 months after the release of the album I wanted to know if Astral Projection for all mankind is an success. I find the album very good, it is oldschoolisch at sameniness and very melodic. What are your impressions?

There’s a video on YouTube titled Muses Rapt – Spiritual Healing (Yahel Remix). Guess what’s actually there? That’s right: it’s just Yahel – Intelligent Life. And here’s another one with the same title: Muses Rapt – Spiritual Healing (Yahel Remix) — but the track is actually The Muses Rapt – Spiritual Healing (DJ Jörg & DJ Domi Remix). (1998) By the way, I highly recommend this version if you haven’t heard it yet.
