i totally agree with proxeeus. the focus is different. in psytrance you have lots of space in the mix (which also allows for delays and reverbs to have their full effect). but for this to sound good and professional every single element have to sound good on its own. for goatrance you can get away with some elements sounding so-so, because there are many different ones that also demand the attention of the listener. on the other hand you have to get all those layers to sit together nicely in the mix, which ime is A LOT more difficult. you have to compromise between the leads sounding thin and tinny and the leads clashing with each other and the bassline. there is simply not enough space in the audio spectrum to make too many of these elements sound huge. since i find it a lot easier to get psytrance to sound more-or-less professional compared to goa trance i have huge respect for artists like artifact303, filteria, e-mantra, hypnoxock, median project, … who achieve such a good sound with goa trance.

A kick, a melodic bassline (and a cool one at that), one modulated synth line following the same melody, a "riser" FX leading to the break. Vocal sample, then re kick bass melody. All in all, very few sounds (again, not saying that in a negative way) which leaves plenty of space in the audio spectrum to make all those parts sound absolutely, monstrously GOOD together. Take modern goa and its "wall of sound" approach which fills the audio spectrum up to the fucking max and you're way more limited to make each part stand out, since there are so many of them mashed together. (again, not saying one is "better" than the other, mind you) Also: heavy layering / "wall of sound" shouldn't be mistaken for complexity, imho. It's simply another approach. edit: this should be a topic of its own actually the thread got kinda derailed

So guys, thank you for comments. Between special style of mixing and bad quality very big different. If you listen balance of kickbass, leads, percussion and effects you will see harmony. I am serious really, its special but not "bad". Its experimental goa trance. We work with cool sound engineer and can make with sound many things. If add frequencies and make sound more "standart" this music lost this special spirit. So we just support original idea of music maker. Some people very enjoy and think that its genius album and something new, some people think that its unreal shit. Many discussions on other sites too. I am from first group, i very like this sound. I think its first our underground release. Full support to Katedra, we will continue work and prepare new music. Katedra give us idea about new compilation. I recommend give time to this release, because mind need adaptation. It was with me too when i start work with Katedra. ॐ

still yet to receive, good idea, not that my keys are full already of..... well to many keys!!

I've been wearing it around my neck for a while now. So decided today to finally use it where I was looking forward of using it. On my keys. Cool release!

At first it was supposed to be a double cd, but instead this is vol. 1
