HALLO. I"m AZ XVER VKTNZER MY recently play movie for Elese by Beethoven thanks. please comment kontakt + Roland Fantom G6 sample

the things posted up to now suggest goa trance. if we do down that route i could contribute some melodies played with oldschool sounding patches, atmospheres or 909 hatlines. if we go the fullon/psytrance route i could contribute something for every purpose (from knb over percussion, melodies and sweeps to semi-modular fx) but wouldn't want to do the arrangement. so i guess it's time to decide on the style, bpm and key of the track. unless anyone has any objections, i'd suggest 145 and F because 145 is neither particularly fast nor slow fitting almost any style, and F is easy to play and sits right in the sweep spot where the low end sounds best on most systems. i also think we need something like a shared dropbox folder where everyone can access all midis and audio files plus add their own input.

YES there is the plan to revive the contest - I was busy with the rules till recently ... will see, maybe we can launch this... Huh, it worked for me ... I just copypasted the link text. Browser: Firefox Listened to it. It's cool stuff so far - instant idea: Take @Veracohr 's track, enrich it with @Psychedelic Superbeast 's melody number 3 from the first video (the one that starts at 0:39 ... you might have to adapt the tonal relation though so that it matches) ... and the whole thing might develop into something more goatrancey in the progress of the track, ideas for that are still missing in my head though... I need to get a Cubase (I only can work with Cubase, we used it for Skeletone - but my mate is decomissioning the sudio and takes the Cubase dongle with him, it's his) to be able to participate in this (which I'd be up to) ... and I need to go for a legal one. I'll see what I can afford ... have to get an audio system first ... one after the other

The funny thing is... Filteria and Xenomorph are friends and talk a LOT about "music making" and synths They never made music together so far tho As for modern goa not being goa? Thats, obviously, not serious and one of those opinions that somehow crushes all modern innovative psychedelic artists within this genre. A music genre is not defined by a time period but about a style. I think its very clear for example Triquetra is pure goa. Why wouldn't it be? Because it is made in 2020? Its made exactly like the music in the 90s.. 100% with analog synths and the style is the same as well

So me saying that I'm pleasantly surprised by a track and comparing it to another goa artist, from the label that released this compilation is offensive? And yeah you might've heard all of Xenomorph's discography, I haven't (yet) there's so much goa to discover, impossible to hear it all. But I'm working on it. Does it make my experience or impression less valid? That's the beauty of this forum, the different angles/opinions and impressions. If anything this new Xenomorph track got me really curious about his other goa tracks. Certainly if he has made similar stuff recently that would be interesting to explore for me. And btw Xenomorph might even be a fan of Filteria? Who are we to judge his inspirations? Would you find it equally offensive if hypothetically Xenomorph would say that he likes Filteria's music? It would be interesting to hear you develop some of your reasoning concerning what it's you find offensive with Filteria's music, just out of curiousity. I'm very much looking forwards to the reviews of this compilation, as lot's of people here have a very strong emotional bond to the music of the legendary artists featured on it. And that can indeed be a sensitive topic for some. There will undoubtedly be many comparisons drawn, between their classical works and these new tracks, and there will certainly be parallels drawn to other newer artists in the genre. As reviews are an analytical process, and music is always contrasted within a context. The endless new vs old debates are integral to this process. It's just the way things goes around here.

A fine debut album here, demonstrating an impressive level of maturity and diligence: it is immediately apparent that a lot of thought and practice has gone into each track as they are all well-structured and feature harmonious sounds that have been carefully pruned and edited to fit together well and hence create a floaty atmosphere and effect. If the artist's intention (always problematic to ascertain) is indeed to create an aural space voyage, then the album succeeds triumphantly. On the down side, the artist is fairly obviously a big Astral Projection fan, and at times I found myself wondering who put on the AP track I had never heard before. At one level, this is high praise. At another level, the album is for sure derivative, and more could have been done to sculpt a more unique sound and identity. Nevertheless, this is a minor caveat, because this is undoubtedly a good album and significantly better than many nu Goa efforts. Indeed, I'm hoping to hear more from this talented artist and take another trip back to space. ~*~

Calm down, mate.. No bad feelings against you, nor any intention to question your experience or your impression.. I just expressed my personal opinion, which is a result of active involvement in the scene since the mid 90ies.. To me (and not just me, I can assure you..) Filteria and other musicians of the so called Neo-Goa style, just aren't Goa artists.. In general, NEO-GOA IS NOT GOA.. The real "Goa" thing, concerning parties, music composed, inspiration, came to its end around early 00s, 2003, let's say.. Since then, things changed radically.. Almost everything became over-commercialized, mainstream, targeting to the masses and therefore loosing its underground character.. I could write pages over pages about that, but I think that people who really experienced it at the right times and places, with the right music, at the right state of mind can totally understand what I mean.. To me, Neo-Goa is just a bad replica of the past.. Simple as that.. Once again, these are my personal thoughts.. No intention to blame, or turn against anybody.. Musical taste is matter of personal choice, but facts are facts...

Comparing Xenomorph to Filteria sounds unfair and rather offensive, to my ears at least.. that's why, probably...

The Oforia track sounds awesome.
