I could write more posts but then like 60% of the new content would be from me and honestly my content isn't all that great. I will try and write at least a couple more reviews before the end of the year. Damn, I sound like a broken record. Yeah, not all that great.

One of the all time best All together a great list, but gotta love this one 💕

Coming back after so long and this forum is running on fumes. I remember how many posts a day this used to get, it was impossible to keep up with, now I am the first one posting here in nearly 10 months 😲 It is sad to see that the forum has gone this way, but I am part of the problem, life just got in the way and I was not able to be sat in front of a computer every day (or I was but not the fun computer) Hope everyone is OK and listening to the classix still. I never lost my love of the Goa and the Psy. Still regularly listening to everything from 20 or shit, 30 years ago now... I am feeling old but the music keeps me young.

I came back just to say Happy Birthday to you. Sending you all my virtual money right now 🤑

You were certainly there because I saw your set. Well done.

On the new album there's a track called Himalaya. The Himalaya's are also know as The Highest Mountain, which also is the name of their recent (2022) collaboration with Oforia. Maybe it's a second track made with Oforia.

Agree. Makes you wonder why they didn't continue their collaboration with TIP Records. All their previous releases were with TIP: Goa Classics Remixed, Dance is the Answer and The Highest Mountain. The photo they use at Spotify feature Avi wearing a TIP Records t-shirt.

I have nothing against Iboga, but in my mind Astral Projection name doesn't match with Iboga progressive standards. Anyway good luck to them with this release.

Thanks I am still exploring the DAW the synths and effects and now I have another version. https://on.soundcloud.com/0sZbY84awGBNa0L2hN

I am happy to discuss production techniques from time to time but can we please keep that to the Music Making / Production section and keep this thread about my specific tracks?

PPIBET HALLO HELLO..... To day 21century 2025 07 16 is my birthday! SWIFT CODE: SCBLKRSE Accout number: 209 20 011841 Korea Standard Chartred Bank please send money to me.! haha. vert Thank. and I will make big club at seoul. want soon. and please visit play my club! haha. all kind club.

I think you forgot to mention the track names that you are referring the time to, if you want to sound clearer you have to use software that sound clearer, this days all the DAW's achieve a good sound quality, but you need to choose good synths that sound clean and even there you have to tweak the synth to achieve a quality sound for the bass for example then at least you have to use sidechaining compression between the kick and the bass, use a decent delay with ping pong effect and lower the reverb effect, use the delay and reverb as a send effect to save time and the computer resources if you use samples use ones with good quality, everything you use have to sound clean to achieve a overall clean sounding use an equalizer in the master bus to cut every frequencies below 30 hz with a low shelf, use one compressor to work as a glue compressor to work like a glue to all the track elements below the equalizer in master bus as well, I find you tracks pretty creative and experimental you are on a good track, you just need to gain experience in getting more sound quality, and structure, if you follow some more regular structures you will start getting more people who will say that like your sounds, but you don't want go commercial keep searching and exploring in your own way, until people will start to enjoy you own style.

I threw together an acid breakbeat track because humans have broken the world.

That sounds great! Nah, I don't mind the phaser on the percs

Hi, My daughter and I are currently in Albuquerque, USA, and we spent the last two days with @Jon Cocco, Psynews member since 2001, as I'd mentioned here. Jon is known for his EXTENSIVE reviews, that you may read here: https://www.psynews.org/forums/profile/523-jon-cocco/ Although we all have our jobs and occupations, we've been reflecting on how Psynews changed our lives, and the lives of many other people. That's where I met @Anoebis @Skytrancer @tbe @Filteria, Ubik, Tequila, @moni and many many others as you know. Last time I'd come to the US, in Y2K, I'd also stayed at another Psynews visitor and Goatrance fan's place as well. Jon was so kind as to call me when I was recovering from my cencer bac in 2013, and I'll never forget it. So yesterday we visited ABQ and Santa Fe with Jon and his lovely wife Mary. It took 20+ years but and Psynews made that possible!

VA Transmission (compiled by Absolute Hypnotic) Listen 2 tracks, pre-order digital and CDs: https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/va-transmission The Goa trance scene has always been a constellation of diverse streams – old-school analog purists, modern psychedelic explorers, new age hybrids, forest dreamers, and full-on freaks. Yet on the dancefloor, those divisions melt. Beats speak. Minds sync. Bodies move as one. This is the spirit behind Transmission – a visionary compilation curated by Absolute Hypnotics, and fully performed by some of the most respected, genre-defining artists in the global Goa trance community. Each track in Completed by Absolute Hypnotics is a reinterpretation of our original music – filtered, transformed and reborn through the artistic lens of a different master producer. It’s not a remix album – it’s a collaborative reimagining. Every artist brings their unique sound, their history, their tribal code – while staying rooted in the shared source. Transmission is more than just a compilation – it’s a sonic statement. It’s a deliberate attempt to bridge the fragmented streams of Goa trance, and to present them united – just as they truly are when experienced on the dancefloor. From retro analog warmth, to new school layers and hybrid psychedelic textures – this release covers the entire frequency spectrum of Goa. Each track is a message, a transmission, a unique signature of sound – but together, they form a singular pulse, a journey, a story about connection. Let the past, present, and future of Goa trance merge into one. Let the tribe feel the signal. Let the Transmission begin. Tracklist: 1. MFG - New Horizon (Remix) 2. Astrogano - Babadook 3. Wonder - Mysterious Way 4. Absolute Hypnotic - Gods Provision 5. Raziel & Fiery Dawn - The Keeper Of Secrets 6. Laughing Skull - Highway Ghost 7. Goasia -The Matrix 8. Alpha Omega - Breaking The Matrix 9. Too Much Data - United As One 10. Divine Signal - Transmission Label: Global Sect Release Date: 31 July 2025 Mastering: Space Cat Compiled by Absolute Hypnotic

And yet another version, new mix and new mastering what about this one? The phaser in percussion is too much?

Thanks. There are certainly things I would improve but I had spent far too long on this one, so onto the next. I love it up to 1:42, then the second synth pattern sounds a little harsh don't you think? Then from about 1:58 to about 3:20 it's just deliberately weird and experimental - maybe too weird or maybe not weird enough? Anyone else got any feedback please?

https://midilab.co/jc303/ As far as software emulations of the TB-303 go and according to Acid Voice, JC-303 comes right after popular commercial and proprietary plugins such as AudioRealism's Bass Line or D16's Phoscyon. Test it out and leave here your opinions
