  4. I think, you dont understand techno. In goa and trance the tracks stand for its own. Techno is more produced for dj-mixes. The storytelling is the work of the dj. One track is more a chapter, and the dj makes the whole story. But you want some storytelling techno, here we go:

  5. The best MFG album! The style matured here, gone are the more melodic aspects of the Astral Projection influences. Here the style is darker, moody and totally alien. The vibe is rather intense and cosmic, if A New Kind of World offered some morning vibes, this in comparison is a more night-time focused approach. It’s like the antecedents to the whole Psy Trance/Dark Psy era that was just around the corner. Why? is a a very atmospheric and existentially heavy track, which I imagine is about questions with no definitive answers. Such as why the universe is, if the universe is eternal. Why is there life on this isolated blue planet in the middle of nowhere? Why us? Mankind, do we have a higher purpose? It’s all open for your own interpretations, and the track has this super enigmatic vibe going on.

  6. The way I see it, since Neogoa is no more (this really hits me hard for a shit-ton of reasons,can't stress this enough) I'll probably release the album on my Bandcamp space and will ask for GoaD's approval to include our collab within.

  7. I was just about to post a bit of a lament on how I was anticipating both DG6 and the upcoming Proxeeus goa trance album. Just had to get that out. I've had an odd last few days anyway

  8. Easily in top class of cinematic goa-trance for me. Most of the tracks here are oozing with dark sci-fi movie atmosphere. I get such strong visuals in my head when listening most of the tracks. This album has that goa-trance magic that is not seen all that often, really brilliant stuff. I wish I could see to the guys heads when they were making this. It's such a disgrace that they turned into full-on conformers. Sad, really. I would not ruin my name like that when you have released something like this previously.

  9. MFG - PROJECT GENESIS (UDPATED OVER A DECADE LATER) 1998 PHONOKOL RECORDS Track listing: 01. 00'41" Intro 02. 07'30" Intelligent Machine 03. 07'34" Project Genesis 04. 08'08" Open Mind 05. 08'12" Why? 06. 08'27" Voices 07. 07'41" Sunshine 08. 08'02" On Mars 09. 07'42" The Creation 10. 09'29" Metamorphosis PROJECT GENESIS is my favorite MFG album, though I find New Kind of World and The Message strong too. Initially I was drawn to the darker style here. This was one of the first dark Goa-Trance albums I heard. It's also a rare and a different (dark, edgy) approach from MFG's previous album. For those who forget what addictive melodies sound like, I highly recommend revisiting older Goa-Trance albums by Astral Projection, MFG, Hallucinogen, Pleiadians, Cosmosis, Transwave, etc. MFG is smart like Astral Projection in that they put the super songs in the middle of the album. They build up to them. Yet somewhere close by, there's always a less strong track, Voices here. I recommend listening to this album at night with ear buds when doing something, exercising, driving, laying down visualizing. I find this album so nostalgic, fused with the excellent synths, bass lines, rhythms, and atmosphere. I always come back to this one, as it's one of my all time favorites. 01. Intro is too short to score. It involves little more than slow psy ambient notes that connect to.. 02. Intelligent Machine establishes the darkly imaginative tone, as well as the cybernetic Goa style on this concept album. The song's coupled with sweet development, catchy synths, bass, high energy, and rhythm. The aggressive drum combo around 3:38 transitions so well to the next part, and the sample compliments. The last act is excellent too! Great opening track! A- 03. Project Genesis is another strong track with a leading melody wave that takes place on and off throughout. At 6:30 is a return to the leading wave. It's great and the cyborg / cybernetic sound is fantastic and refreshing! A 04. Open Mind is more melodic, less dark and edgy than the previous two vehicles. I really like the sound/melody work (synths), and the song's growth and development. It's well done and compliments the other tracks. A- 05. Why? is so interesting. I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. It was night. My eyes were closed. The first several minutes were pretty good but nothing exceptional...like a roller coaster in the dark, continuing to climb in anticipation. It levels out before climbing again. We reach 5:00 as the song grows richer, more complex, psychedelic, existential, and arresting as it progresses. The song is an adrenaline beast-- a cybernetic fan's we dream, a dance floor diamond, and my favorite track on the album and by MFG to date. It's all about one's state of mind to dive deep, appreciate, and enjoy this radical treasure, or hover near the surface, consciousness-wise, and overlook any meaning to some degree or entirely. A 06. Voices - Some nice synths, just not as memorable or enjoyable as previous tracks. Lots of energy, psychedelic. But the melodic ingredients feel less infectious. The song could have been more imaginative, daring, and complex, but it's not bad. Fortunately there's some pretty cool (catchier) synth variety and complexity in the last act. B 07. Sunshine opens with a bang. The song has skipping voice samples that are VERY CATCHY and enhance the song... SUUN SSHHH -- SUUNN SHHIII.. The track is fairly dark and rhythmic too, rough, and sleek. The first 1-2 minutes are excellent, though repetition sets in by 3:40, until its awesome SUNSHINE chorus saves it. The second act is strong, similar to the opening two minutes with a few extra layers. MFG could have added a super synth or something more to really elevate the final third, but we get is a thick, storming rhythmic rush of sounds that are, well, quite homogenous to the first two acts without really raising the bar. The song is solid throughout with a great hook that elevates it. A- 08. On Mars is better than Voices. A bit slow to get started save its power and momentum. Synths in the second half grow catchier. It has a main current/synth throughout, but that power surge prevents the song from feeling more varied and refreshing until the second half, final act where some wicked, blazing synths arrive. Great track! B+ 09. The Creation is borderline uptempo. It has a solid, thick rhythm throughout, and many psy scapes, but no memorable synths (or leads) until the last act. It's pretty good and one of the less appreciated tracks here that took me until 2016 to appreciate and enjoy. This is more IDM via Goa-Trance. It develops nicely. Pretty interesting/good overall, but nothing spectacular. B+ 10. Metamorphosis is the slowest song here and possibly the most innovative and interesting as well (aside from Why?). Rich, unique, gripping, and ever-changing. The song gets catchier as it progresses. The sound fusions throughout are where cyber/dark meets elegant Goa in this beautiful concoction of imaginative beauty, ingenuity, and excellence. The song evolves and is a wonderful closing track. A Project Genesis is a super follow-up to New Kind of World. I loved this music back then and still do today in 2018. Project Genesis will surprise you in its concentrated moments and tracks. Its darker, more powerful and Cybernetic / Sci-Fi influenced approach at times makes for a tour de force in Psy/Goa-Trance. That said, the album's not for everyone. This has a very distinct UNCONVENTIONAL sound, and is one of my favorite Goa albums. The only track I find fairly weak or less strong is Voices. After their less layered [comparatively speaking] but still VERY GOOD follow up album to this third one via The Message (2001), they returned with Message From God (2006), a Full On release that was just not Goa anymore despite some MFG influences. The Message (2001) is there last Goa-influenced album showcasing some very good/great work. But Project Genesis was crafted in a time when they were dishing out such phenomenal work, like a prodigy teenager full of energy, excitement, rage, and creativity. I'd still recommend The Message if you're a fan of this music. It's good and showcases some great work. Still as overall main albums go, there was a love and a kinetic energy that was last heard to this most fierce PURE GOA degrees from them on THIS ALBUM. MFG peeked with New Kind of World + Project Genesis in terms of PURE GOA. TO MFG: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INCREDIBLY INSPIRED RELEASE THAT SOME PEOPLE COMPLETELY MISSED OR DIDN'T FULLY GRASP OR APPRECIATE BACK IN 1998. Favorite songs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 A-
