Oh hell time flies, it feels like I wrote the 20th bday thread not so long ago, but turns out if was before the Covid crisis... It's still accurate. What more is there to say to that? The is not the most active community but it should stay online as it contains a goldmine of information about Goatrance and Psytrance. BTW for those who don't know from the FB post, Psynews was moved to a brand new server one month ago, it feel so much faster now. Psynews certainly changed our lives. It changed mine big time, I keep realizing it. It was a big launchpad for several projects (Suntrip, Filteria...) It's like a fabric of wonderful people all around the world. Mind you, I'm even going to finally meet @Jon Cocco in the flesh next summer as he invited me to his place in the USA. Psynews keeps amazing me with everything it helped creating or enabled along the years. For those who need some more insights about this community, I still have this other thread in store HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

RA - To Sirius - 3CD Remastered Reissue This month marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most iconic and timeless albums in the history of Goa Trance: "To Sirius" by the legendary Norwegian act RA. To commemorate this milestone, DAT Universe has worked tirelessly behind the scenes with the band’s visionary founders, Christer Borge-Lunde and Lars W. Lind, to curate an extraordinary triple-CD reissue—a tribute that not only honours this revered masterpiece but also cements RA’s legacy in the pantheon of the genre. More than a mere celebration of their magnum opus, this ambitious project seeks to transcend nostalgia, expanding the reissue into the ultimate anthology, gathering the finest compositions ever crafted by the duo during the height of their creative journey. The painstaking process of meticulously digitizing the band’s priceless DAT tapes and unearthing their long-lost old archives was a labour of love spanning several years. The result is a captivating odyssey through RA’s early foray into Goa Trance, and a definitive panorama of their artistic evolution before their reformation in 2006. Originally released in 2000 by the Taiwanese label Blue Moon Productions, and reissued in 2001 by Nova Tekk, "To Sirius" emerged like a celestial anomaly in the Psychedelic Trance scene—a luminous UFO soaring above a landscape increasingly dominated by dark minimalist and techno-infused influences. Its arrival was nothing short of a revelation, conveying a sonic manifesto that rekindled the genre’s cosmic soul and melodic grandeur. RA’s seminal masterpiece encapsulates all the quintessential elements that defined the golden era of Goa Trance, seamlessly intertwining intricate melodies, ethereal atmospheres, and hypnotic rhythms. Yet, "To Sirius" stands as a bold and visionary endeavour—an enthralling alchemy of spiritual sounds that transcend the boundaries of trance. With its cutting-edge 3D sound design and futuristic precision, the album not only redefined the genre but also reignited a glimmer of hope for its resurgence at the dawn of the new millennium. The first disc presents a remastered version of the album staying true to its original essence while elevating it to new heights—each track now resonates with greater depth, richness and balance than ever before. For the first time ever, listeners will also experience the complete, unabridged version of "Astral Flight", restored after being truncated in the original release. The second disc brings together all previously released vinyl and compilation tracks produced in the 90s, alongside a trove of unreleased gems composed between 1997 and 1999—hidden treasures that never made the album’s final cut. These long-forgotten pieces, exhumed from the band’s secret vaults, have now been reinstated into the original work, breathing new life into this reissue—a true "rebirth". This collection also features a miraculous discovery: the medley "Mooncake – Tribes Of The Moon", born from RA’s inspired collaboration with Kerry Palmer and Graham Franklin of Dimension 5. The final disc unveils the finest previously unreleased tracks from the pivotal years leading up to the creation of "To Sirius" (1995-1996)—a mesmerizing journey through the duo’s formative era, where raw creativity and fearless experimentation forged their unmistakable sound signature. Spanning an eclectic range of tempos and styles, these early productions stand as vibrant testaments to the artistic evolution of a band destined to etch its singular legacy into music history. This reissue also includes a richly detailed booklet chronicling the history of RA, complete with in-depth liner notes from the duo. It offers a rare glimpse into the equipment they used, along with long-kept secrets revealed for the first time—including the origin of the "RA" alias and the hidden meaning behind the "To Sirius" album title. With this monumental reissue, "To Sirius" is reborn—a timeless masterpiece once again illuminating the vast cosmos of Goa Trance.

VA Transmission (compiled by Absolute Hypnotic) Listen 2 tracks, pre-order digital and CDs: https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/va-transmission The Goa trance scene has always been a constellation of diverse streams – old-school analog purists, modern psychedelic explorers, new age hybrids, forest dreamers, and full-on freaks. Yet on the dancefloor, those divisions melt. Beats speak. Minds sync. Bodies move as one. This is the spirit behind Transmission – a visionary compilation curated by Absolute Hypnotics, and fully performed by some of the most respected, genre-defining artists in the global Goa trance community. Each track in Completed by Absolute Hypnotics is a reinterpretation of our original music – filtered, transformed and reborn through the artistic lens of a different master producer. It’s not a remix album – it’s a collaborative reimagining. Every artist brings their unique sound, their history, their tribal code – while staying rooted in the shared source. Transmission is more than just a compilation – it’s a sonic statement. It’s a deliberate attempt to bridge the fragmented streams of Goa trance, and to present them united – just as they truly are when experienced on the dancefloor. From retro analog warmth, to new school layers and hybrid psychedelic textures – this release covers the entire frequency spectrum of Goa. Each track is a message, a transmission, a unique signature of sound – but together, they form a singular pulse, a journey, a story about connection. Let the past, present, and future of Goa trance merge into one. Let the tribe feel the signal. Let the Transmission begin. Tracklist: 1. MFG - New Horizon (Remix) 2. Astrogano - Babadook 3. Wonder - Mysterious Way 4. Absolute Hypnotic - Gods Provision 5. Raziel & Fiery Dawn - The Keeper Of Secrets 6. Laughing Skull - Highway Ghost 7. Goasia -The Matrix 8.

I've written some code to generate images in Clojure, going for a 90's rave flyer aesthetic. Let me know what you think:

Thanks, we are so happy it was so well received, it has been in the works for a few years, but it's so satisfying, and the band is also super pleased!

Happy Birthday Psynews!!! I started posting here when I was 14!!! 36 now At that time I started chatting with Sherlockalien and met up with him the following summer, we married 3 years later 😄 Psynews indeed was (and hopefully still is) capable of connecting people are any of the old members still active? What happened to Feathers 😁 Jeeee we all had some good laughs.. amazing really that this is still up 👌🏻 Congrats!!!!

Background: I have never been a Filteria fan. When he was a new artist I assumed it was kind of new school stuff but when I read all the amazing revews here from Goa fans and the comparisons to Pleiadians, I tried a couple times to listen to Sky Input, but I had a similar reaction to most of the other handful of negative reviewers: there are good Goa sounds and melodies but once the tracks get going it becomes a sort of wall of monoculture, like, I love chocolate cake but I don't want every space in my fridge and cupboards squashed full of only chocolate cake. (I should also mention incidentally that IFO is not one of my most favorite albums, though I do like it and listen to it quite a lot. I feel it has more color than Sky Input). I read that Daze of Our Lives is considered by many an improvement on the earlier albums so I have given it my first couple of listens. I am trying to let go of my biases, but that is hard to do, but I do need to say that the best bits of this album are really good and there are certainly moments where there is a really interesitng and unique sound. For me the really good bits are when he goes more ambient / downtempo and lets the music breathe a little. My favorites are the first and last tracks. I think he should try a whole album of downtempo. The other stuff, I like it OK, and I will give it more listens. It's technically good; the melodies are good; the effects are really good, but I honestly have to say that for most of it I don't get that really magic feeling that I get with older Goa or something like RA. It is hard to put my finger on it and it may be down to preconceptions. It might be something to do with the mastering or just Filteria sliding back into his tendencies for a relentlessly constant level of energy in a track. There are colorful melodies and organic effects yet many of the tracks for me feel a little on the flatter, less colorful, more homogenous kind of side in terms of their overall impression. This is just my subjective personal preference. I should mention this album does have quite a few Posfordlike elements that are done quite well, the warping chords and bright arpeggios. He has also nailed the weird, stuttery vocal effects although I do wonder if these were verging on being over-used here, though that's a minor quibble. This is no Hallucinogen 3 for me though, unfortunately. I award that title to Artha's incredible Influencing Dreams. I give tracks 1 and 9 9/10. The rest, I would have to give it more listens to really rank it fairly but my current feeling is if I was just rating the technical achievement it would probably be about 7 or 8/10 but in terms of my own enjoyment, 6/10. So for the whole album: 7/10.

... one of the best decisions of my life. I used to read this forum like it was a bible when I was 20ish. 15 years later I'm organizing parties in Finland and I play Goa whenever I get the chance. Fullon is SO much easier to mix, but making 1 hour to 1.5 hour sets of goatrance is like finding the genre all over again. Every single time. It feels like I'm creating stories whenever I make my sets. Every single track brings something new, they tell stories that have never been heard, they push sounds and melodies that never been explored before. They intricately have a soul that trancends the life we are so accustomed to. Sometimes it takes 10 hours of goddamn hard work to make just over an hour of goatrance to flow together (even with my insanely vast knowledge of the genre!), but every - damn - time, it's totally worth it. There's like 5 people in Finland putting together goatrance sets during the year and it's a total pleasure being one the very few going against the mainstream of hitech, fullon, forest (that has nothing to do with forest, the fuck is wrong with that genre?) and other minimal psytech types of sounds. Last weekend I had the upmost privledge being able to deliver goatrance that transforms from 140bpm danceable super rhymtic and hypnotic goatrance (M-Run, Radical Distortion) to 156bpm soft nitzhogoa (Goalien & Agneton) and everyone who was in the front row was banging their heads off!!! I seriously could not have believed I could bring these sounds to peoples ears that have never heard them - and get them to enjoy it! This music literally was a saving grace for me. I used to be a nobody. Goatrance was something I consumed alone, skateboarding, hanging around on forums. I still kinda am a nobody, but goatrance made me a person who gives people experiences they never experienced before - I'd imagine that counts for something more than just being an npc. Goatrance, as a genre, is a goddamn joy. The melodies, the stories. People who make, play and consume goa, I've found, are the best type of people. The one's that have the capacity to ask more, the one's that think. The one's that care. Last weekend I had an older couple come up to me that my set from the weekend before was the best.. I was not sure what I heard so I asked them "this one, or the other one?", they answered "BOTH". ❤

He is most famous as Elysium, though he has a variety of other monikers. Andersen made some of the greatest Goa tracks ever in the 90s with a unique mellow, tribal, and hypnotic style. One of my personal favourites is the Sheyba ep on Flying Rhino from 1995: Who can forget the wolf howls in "Ancient Lands" which take the listener deep into the ancestral past. Other notable releases include Spiritual's "Ride the Snake", Kaaya's "Ormazd", Kailash's "Higher", and the two Elyzium albums Dance for the Celestial Beings (1995) and Celestial Sounds and Neurotic Tribal Beats (1997). Evocative, storytelling stuff, more for the inner journey than for 'aving it on the dancefloor, though plenty potent on the dancefloor too. Rather than give a track by track formalist description, I want to try to sum up Andersen's artistic goal and the feel of his tunes, with which I'm sure many of you are familiar. Perhaps the most important thing then is to point out that if you are a fan of his work, as I am, then this is a must. Andersen has not changed his style. This is not to say that he is stuck or lacks variety or experiment or is narrow, but he simply has his own unique style that is instantly recognisable. And what a style it is - poised hovering in the liminal zone between the dancefloor and the chill out area with bpms seldom getting up into the 140s, its distinctive feature is hypnosis. In a sense, then, his music is the very essence of trance, which is a hypnotic state, a state of immersion if you will. There's a deep calm in his music, that is quite different to the ecstatic excitement, even freneticism, of a lot of trance and psytrance. It is more of a highlands plateau than the peaks and valleys of psytrance. It is likely that the Dionysian among us will not like this calm and will find this album boring. If you want high drama, crushing rhythms, major chords, frenzied build-ups, hardcore blastoff, then look elsewhere. For those who can enter this calm state, it provides the meditative bliss of relaxation and acceptance. This music creates the atmosphere in which it is best appreciated. Here are the words of the man himself: "I wanted to return to the way I think trance should be like. To me, trance is a slowly building journey on the dance floor by its hypnotizing patterns and deep soundscapes. Repetitively rhythmic to put you in a state of trance." Andersen emphasises his return to proto-Goa, which was slower and lacked the build-ups and galloping horse basslines of post-millenial psytrance. What I most appreciate about this relaxation is that it tends to grant the space for the mind to expand into fantasy - it is quite easy to be swept to far-off lands with these tunes. This does not mean that Vaporized lacks intensity. Intensity may be provided by tribal vibes through vocals, samples, percussion. Whilst I do miss the tribal vibes a bit on this latest album, they are still there in the background. Intensity is also provided by the microdynamics of texture and small changes. A master of texture, Andersen was always good at making sounds that ranged from silken smooth to ragged ripping. Many of his sounds, showcased by the relatively constant rotating polyrhythms in the background have more pixels per nanosecond than there are motes of dust in the Sahara (though you will need a good hifi to hear this). Part of the sonic magic is the recordings and masterings: no compression wars here and sounds have space to breathe, do not blur together, dynamics are free. I checked out my vinyl and cds and the only information on the mastering I could find was "Prodam" and "Podam" - I searched but nothing came up. This is also true of this new work, which is also well produced. This high quality recording and mastering pays off in psychoactive sound with good micro as well as macro dynamics. This is crucial to Andersen because he is very good at small changes, subtle shifts of delicate percussion, unexpected time wobbles - small changes amidst heavy repetition that can tug at your ear, especially when you are in the calm and receptive state of trance. There, in a nutshell, I think you have the spirit of Elysium/Vaporized: hypnotic trance. It is relatively introspective stuff that eschews drama, performativity, grandiosity, hysteria, going instead for meditative calm. This, of course, does not mean that the artist is always so calm himself. Hypnosis is also invariably haunted by the image of the zombie: who is controlling the hypnotised is the question that typically arises. Is it a corporate AI? Perhaps it is the Soviet nostalgia hackers? No, it is definitely the aliens described by Cixin Liu. Whether you are concerned about being hypnotised or not, the questions that have historically accompanied the inner path do flutter about this introspective art. Of course, this means that this is more home music than for the main floor. If hypnotic trance sounds appealing to you, then you won't do better than this excellent album and the stunning back catalogue behind it. ~*~

Please keep it going. As we get older other things take up our time but sometimes we also end up with more time. I'd been reading the site occasionally for many years but only signed up two years ago and am visiting much more often now and writing posts. I much prefer old style forums and if you ended this site the members would disperse onto multiple sites making a small community even smaller. I also love the feeling of timelessness this site invokes. People happily continue discussions inside threads that had been dormant for many years. It's trippy. Your average web surfer would get confused by that! The threads remain timeless because the great music is timeless. Thanks for all your hard work keeping the site running.

I want to start a topic, why there are no people here and why there is no new good goa trance music. The reason is, because you all only talked about Astral Projection and nwe school goa trance back in the days, 10, 15 years ago One Astral Projection music thread after another was open only with the talk about Astral files and Dancing Galaxy. Also suntrip records with Filteria and Artifact303 threads were open aswell. Filteria and Artifact303 sound like beginnersmusic with way too much overloaded melodies and not endurable melodies, not like Miranda with complex Mars needs women are Labyrinth or Electric Universe Sunset Skyline, Astral Voyage, Alien Encounter Part 2 Galaxia, Visiting Veus or Nexus. So because noone talked about good goa trance at that time and noone bought good goa trance at that time, people started changing their opinions and stopped listening goa trance music,. This is also the reason why noone is registered here to make activity anymore, too. All old goa trance listeneers are pissed of of cheesy and overloaed newschool goa trance from Filteria, Artifact303, Khetzal and others. No Electric Universe, no MFG, no Miranda and no good spirit Zone Recordings artists remained in newschool goa trance era remained. All real goa trance lvoers got pissed off and started listeing other music, like Metal or Pop. This is also the reason why this forum is so inactive and noone is here to talk about goa trance.

My issue is that for years I thought Trust I Trance Vol. 3 was their greatest album. Another World was too commercial and formulaic for me. It was only a few years ago that I realised most ppl consider this their top release 🤔

I feel that a lot of the old acts that we loved back in the day, started making music that was more commercial and less to the tastes of us fuddy duddies, but recently a lot are pivoting back as the people they made the pop sound for are no longer interested, and they know that we are all stubborn and will be the ones paying to hear the old sounds 😁

There, I posted it. Not gonna step back now. Curious if I can keep it up, how much it will cost ... but whatever. S-RANGE album is already playing live on Jungle TV right now cheers

Hi, My daughter and I are currently in Albuquerque, USA, and we spent the last two days with @Jon Cocco, Psynews member since 2001, as I'd mentioned here. Jon is known for his EXTENSIVE reviews, that you may read here: https://www.psynews.org/forums/profile/523-jon-cocco/ Although we all have our jobs and occupations, we've been reflecting on how Psynews changed our lives, and the lives of many other people. That's where I met @Anoebis @Skytrancer @tbe @Filteria, Ubik, Tequila, @moni and many many others as you know. Last time I'd come to the US, in Y2K, I'd also stayed at another Psynews visitor and Goatrance fan's place as well. Jon was so kind as to call me when I was recovering from my cencer bac in 2013, and I'll never forget it. So yesterday we visited ABQ and Santa Fe with Jon and his lovely wife Mary. It took 20+ years but and Psynews made that possible!

I just want to repeat the praise for the mastering of the vinyl edition, which is presumably pretty similar to that of the cd edition. The Dat Records mastering of Etnica's Live in Athens and, especially, the Crop Circles compilation was brickwall compressed, bass boosted, and lacking in spaciousness and tonality. Happily, it seems that a lesson has been learned because that is not the case with this excellent release. I don't know what the DR number is, but this is not a heavily compressed mastering job and sounds great as a result. A very happy outcome that serves this stunning music well and augurs well for the future. All strength to Draeke and his excellent projects. ~*~

Dear Family, I am glad to annouce you that my second Downtempo album '' Vibrating Waves '' are ready to be soon released. This album is a bit faster thant the first one with more trancy melodies blended with a lot of acidlines and tribal influences 🫠 There is, included in the 9 tracks, a collaboration with my acid brother Proxeeus. Thanks to Sati Design for her stunning cover and also MasterDx for his awesome and clean mastering. The other good news is that I will print a limited edition of 100 cds on my bandcamp 🥰 You can already listen to the preview of this album on my soundcloud here :

I like them. Good choice of color and shading and you've nailed the 90s flyer look.

In addition to this massive release, we want to please you with new amazing music this year, so if you purchase any of our releases, you directly affect the quality and speed of our label. We are also very grateful to everyone who has supported and continues to support us throughout our activities. Thank you very much, in the near future we will dedicate a separate post to you. So, here is what we plan to please you with after the release of the compilation: - The first vinyl record of Global Sect. Of course, we have been thinking about the first release on vinyl for a long time, but we are a relatively young label and all this time we have preferred to invest resources in expanding the discography. But now the time has come! The record will be released in collaboration with an extremely experienced company that has been releasing vinyl for over 15 years, so vinyl collectors can rest assured of the quality of the release. At the moment, we prefer not to disclose the content, since not all agreements with the musicians have been reached, but you can already see the Cover Art demo. This will be a 4-track compilation called Reincarnation. - Centavra Project - Ad Asstra (second album) The second album of a true master of space goa-trance is almost ready and this year we will delight you with a new intergalactic adventure. Fasten your seat belts! - Atlantis - Second Album The Greek project, which released many amazing tracks on our label, including great remixes of Man With No Name, Miranda, Chi-A.D. is back in the game with a new full-length album. More information coming soon. - VA by Raziel We all know that the Israeli scene is extremely active and productive. The tracklist will include musicians mainly from this country and this release will demonstrate the talents of both new wave musicians and honored masters of the genre. - Morioun - new album A talented musician from Denmark, who has already managed to release tracks on many labels, is preparing a new album for us. We are waiting with impatience! That's all for now, thank you for your attention and remind you that all these projects can only be realized thanks to you, those who purchase our releases, merch and decorations for events.

I have to admit, I'm a bit hesitant to upload this because I really don't want to step on any toes. However, I feel like it's time we talked about something that's been on my mind and on the minds of many others. Has Psytrance lost its edge? Has it become a bit too formulaic? A lot of the tracks I come across these days seem to follow the same set of rules—using similar sounds and carrying the same general vibe. Many of my friends who are DJs and producers—very active in the Psytrance community—have shared similar concerns but often choose not to speak up to avoid any negative backlash. Since I'm no longer reliant on the scene for my livelihood, I feel it's important to bring this conversation forward. See how general interest in Psytrance has declined: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=psytrance,psy trance,psy-trance&hl=en-GB In this video, I'm revisit some tracks from some of the most innovative Psytrance artists from the early days, before 2000, and explore how we've moved from a musically diverse scene to one that today sounds remarkably consistent. While this is all highly subjective and there are certainly exceptions, I think we need to discuss the current state of Psy-trance. Please leave your comments, let's dive into this together!

Why would you assume she can't dj? Because he's a fucking idiot, I'm tired of coming into the forum and seeing it flooded with stupid posts and stupid replies from this individual...because of him and those who pay attention to him, this forum is more dead than alive. Fucking trolls... get a life!!!

Yes keep it running, I have some spare time if you need help I think I can help too forums still have some advantages no pub and not so distractive.

cop out all right, i get making a stand, but this has been going on for how many decades?? well before he was even born once again another confirmation of true form

Manuser, I think it's really your very own personal opinion and taste. That track has for me a real story, 160 BPM was not a choice for me, but the expression of my mood when I produced it (say, I was very angry, maybe...). Anyway, maybe it was a mistake, or not... Or maybe a track has to be respected the exact way it was created. You just don't like it like that, your taste (again). I was not aware of that "150 BPM version on YouTube"... Or a topic on the forum just about that. That said, maybe you will be happy to hear that the live version (the one I play usually with my violin in all my live-acts), plays at... ... 150 BPM !!! Ta daaaaaaaaaaaa :-D Anyway, thanks for the comments, I always appreciate !

Seems like Draeke covered most of my thoughts. But anyway, here it comes anyway: Dear on10 I have no idea of who you are, how long you have listened to psychedelic trance or how long you have been ”in the scene”, but I felt like explaining a couple of things after reading your review. It’s not meant to make any conflict or bad feelings, just a try for an explanation, because it seems to me like there are a few things you haven’t realized/understood in this case. First of all, the music. For those of us who have followed the trance scene from the early beginning, we know where it comes from. We know who the pioneers were who started all this. Everything that came after this, you can thank these pioneers for. It has grown naturally from what they started, long before everybody could make a trance track in one day. These were true artists creating something new, never done before, and creating a classic trance track wasn’t done in one day back then…. Back then, there wasn’t any clear difference between the various categories of trance. All these terms, such as hard trance, full on, progressive, Goa etc. came later… Blue Planet Corporation was one of these pioneers and one of the first ones to explore psychedelic elements in hypnotic trance music. Endless of artists after him picked up inspiration from his music. These tracks are extremely hard to find today. You have to be rich to get hold of any of the vinyl releases on UFK. Unlike you, there are a lot of people out there who where there in the early beginning, and yes, we have nostalgic memories from back then. Many of these people also have a nostalgic feeling about having the physical copy in their position. We are not grown up with finding everything on the net… For us, the early trance from the pioneers, such as BPC, is important musical history! Our way of documenting musical history for the future, is by releasing something like this. Like a history book you can find in the library, this album is a history, an important history that means a lot to many of us, that we document by creating this release for those who cares (where it all started, where it comes from, how it sounded back then etc.). Which brings me over to another point I wanted to tell you about regarding your review; Respect is one of the words that often come to mind when I think about the trance scene. Respect other human beings, the people that you celebrate life together with, the celebration of trance and dance. One of the important words in the scene of peace, love, unity and respect. This is something that used to be very important in the scene from the beginning and many years after it all started. This might have faded a bit away by the years. The entire scene has changed drastically since the 90s, and ended up obviously pretty far away from how it used to be. Everybody is offcourse entitled to have their own taste in music. No one is forcing you to like this peace of history, but the word respect for other human beings is something I strongly think should remain in the scene, even though I don’t personally participate in the scene much anymore. Several of the sentences and words you use in your review totally show that you have missed some important factors in the scene. Telling people to pirate download this music is just one example where you obviously pay no attention to my words above, P.L.U.R., the main key in the trance scene. Writing something like that has nothing to do in a music review, simple as that. It’s no problem for any of us that you dislike the beginning of psychedelic trance, but when you write a review, I would suggest to check some background information before writing insulting, punching words to people who use a lot of their money, time and energy to create a piece of musical history for the generations to come. Thinking that this project will lead to extra income is as far away from the truth as it can possibly get. Gabriel who made the music and Draeke who released it on his important history learning label is true music lovers who NEVER had money in their mind when deciding to release it! So, on10. I have to underline that I don’t write all this to insult, create harm or any kind of conflict. I wrote this to you because I hope you will realize a bit more why projects like this are being done and that you maybe could think twice next time you want to write a review. So let’s keep it a bit friendly around here, write our opinions without insulting and hurting each other. And hands up to all of you who understand what it’s all about. Never forget the 90’s and where you came from. PKS
