I'm atleast a little hopeful since they released some new goa on the Suntrip compilation. I do however understand if the inspiration/time/and untimately their age and lives are very different now compared to when their classics were composed. And I also think that the bar was set so high that they themselves ultimately have a very high expectation set. Besides all of us listeners/fans.
I think one aspect that is often overlooked when discussing the magmum opus of the artists of the old school Goa "pantheon". Is that for them this whole phenomenon of Goa Trance was something altogether new as well. So I mean how do you even approach recreating or surpassing something you experienced or was part of as a younger version of yourself? I imagine that for many producers of the era not only was the musical style new but also the whole psychedelic experience, and certainly in the context of the Psy/Goa parties.
And at the same time no one wants to keep repeating the same formula without expanding the horizon stylistically and on a technical level. That beeing said though, everything I've heard so far, in the form of snippets and glimts into their studio over the last couple of years, has sounded extremely good to my ears. And I just hope they release some of it soon.
There is of course some very complex times right now, certainly in the Middle East.
*edit* just noticed that it wasn't the thread about AP's upcoming album. Regarding the topic of this thread, it's quite easy for me since I've never heard anything from S-Range besides a track or two back on Destination Goa? So for me AP win of course. They changed the game and their influence is reverberating in pretty much all of the neo goa.
