Merry Christmas everyone! Unfortunately it seems that forums are a thing of the past. Reddit, discord, social media are the new way of ppl talking about their hobbies. I personally prefer the forum format, but hey I'm an old fart, youngsters run the internet. Personally I still listen to psytrance daily, but it's stuff from my collection. I haven't bought a single release in 3 years, since I'm broke therefore i can't contribute with new reviews. I'm also tired of online discussion, I prefer to watch YouTube videos or browse 9gag and stuff. I'm officially a grumpy old man, plus anxiety and stuff has wore me down.😁 If there's something that really bugs me though is the sad state of psytrance on YouTube. Every psytrance video that has million of views is this weird new genre that barely represent psytrance. It sounds like the most safe, commercial, boring psy you can think of. Artists that I barely know like Captain Hook or Blastoyz have millions of views. I'm sometimes thinking.. I'm listening to psytrance for 15 years, I have discussed it for thousands of hours, yet I don't know who these guys are. I still don't get what happened.

Great, bonus tracks what's not to love about that? @Tsotsi maybe you could make a video review of this juggernaut comp when it drops? Also I like that there's Psynews members present on this compilation. @Proxeeus

I've got about 15 reviews written that i wanted to film but should probably just post as written ones. I can't do video reviews for a while (which wont upset anyone i'm sure) because in 2022 I became a daddy. So yea 2022 has been a great year, but I've never had less time for myself. As for albums I think there was some amazing releases: Centavra Project brought back that soft silky deep cosmic Goa that we haven't heard in a while. Ankrosado released a stellar album A rare release from Zopmanika A whole bunch of no-label or new label releases from the Israelis Arronax popped up again I have a bunch more shout outs as I haven't stopped listening to music, I'll update my list as the days go by.
