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 !6 points

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.

Friends, today we will tell you about our further plans regarding the compilation. As you already know, we have released the first part consisting of 6 discs and is, at the moment, the largest release released on CD in the Goa Trance style. If you completely open the box of this disc, you will see a cross-shaped geometric figure. This figure will represent the central part of the overall epic picture. The subsequent parts of the compilation will be designed in such a way that they will be attached to the central part like "Tetris". Therefore, we strongly recommend that all collectors who have not purchased the first part, be sure to purchase it, because your future collection will be missing the main element. We have warned you, there are less than 100 copies left: https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/va-hallucinations-of-the-buddha-6cd The release will consist of 5 parts, each of which will include 6 discs.

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. Alpha Omega - Breaking The Matrix 9. Too Much Data - United As One 10.

Hi! I'm back with a new track! (which is technically not actually new, as it's based on something I started working on in 2021... whatever!) Laser-filled nitzhogoa! With a very slow BPM! (150 BPM, very slow indeed, lol! Most of the Nitzho I'm working on is at 155+ BPM) I love you Psytrance people and I'm in a good and very altruistic mood right now, so I wish you a lot of happiness in your life! ❤️ ^-^ (Especially those who listen to this track! :p) Hyper Power of Outer Space! EPIC (It's not me on the cover art!)

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: 7/10.2 points

... 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". ❤2 points

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. ~*~

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.1 point

So many years have not tempered the insanity that is @CyclotronMajesty Every single post you ever made just dripped with conspiracy theorist "logic" and honestly was never anything I could take seriously. I always saw your posts as someone who just took too many drugs and completely fucked up their own mind. Seeing this post just makes me sad, not for you, because you have always been this insane, but for all the people that were brought over to your insanity during COVID. "Fake Vaccines" "Mask Hysteria" buzz words for the idiots. I live in Japan, everyone was really quick to mask up during COVID, and the vaccine take up was near 100%, the result was very few COVID deaths, yet the countries that resisted putting a bit of cloth over your mouth because it was so painful (fucking pussies) and distrusted the vaccine had 100s of 1000s of deaths. It's people like you @CyclotronMajestythat killed 100s of others. You should feel ashamed of yourself but I can guarantee that such scumbags like you will never ever dare feel like you were in the wrong and will never ever come to understand just how much pain and suffering you brought to the world1 point

Hello everyone, first post here. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I've been looking for 130ish 90s or early 2K goa/psytrance/trance/prog trance stuffs. Possibly records. Possibly no upbeat or riding basslines (typical of late 2K psytrance) or too minimal influences (typical of scandinavian prog trance) Absolutely love these: Love how deep this one is Love the melody here and the acid bassline The long now If perfection was a thing, it would be the B2 side of this beauty I'd love some help, thank you1 point

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!

Good review @acid being I have my own bias and that's the cleanliness of the mix and the quality of the sounds. I have a habit of ranking this higher than the actual music sometimes. For example, Wormhole. To me that sounds incredible from a sound design standpoint while the music is great. Anyway, thanks for the great review 😊 As far as his music is concerned no matter the quality I'd say the following is his best Birds lingva franca Amnesia reaction Rotate to vibrate ze remix And his best one: perpetually delayed voyage. This is where the quality fully meets the music. Look forward to you listening to them, as there's much to explore of filteria just like there's much to explore with ap and Simon.1 point

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 :

ah metal i wrote for several magazines (in dutch) for 15 years, wrote more than 1500 album reviews, visited a lot of concerts and did interviews with all the big bands.....metal always been part of my life, besides goa trance next month i'm going to see napalm death again, with pig destroyer, wormrot en primitive man i like 90's metal the most because of the fact that i like extreme metal the most: legendary death, black and doom bands made excellent albums that decade just as goa trance, for me, the 90's were the best period for metal with the most exciting music in the 80's you did have legendary thrash acts and early death metal albums, but the 90's DAMN three exemples of excellent metal albums, a death metal album, a black metal album and a doom classic Death - Human Satyricon - Volcano My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans1 point

I recently delved back into an old favorite: the Dragonlance series. It’s based on a D&D campaign from the 80’s and was more or less the first fantasy books I read. It’s not as sophisticated or immersive as more recent fantasy series but it’s been fun revisiting those characters.1 point

Nexus 6 and Pure Reality are timeless. I think Pure Analog and Protoculture's Refractions basically defined the sound of morning/melodic fullon for the whole decade. My favourite take on remixing Nexus 6 and Pure Reality1 point

Going through some of the reviews, this has to be one of the funniest ones. The first page isn't even a review, just folks debating about a name of ANOTHER album. Haha.1 point

Track List 1 Hicksville (7:35) 2 Stargate Avalon (1:32) 3 Jade Garden (7:38) 4 Shwazz (8:59) 5 Fifth Level (4:36) 6 Khatmandu (7:43) 7 Mundis Imaginalus (7:50) 8 Louden (3:22) 9 Darshannon (6:10) Simon Posford & Youth. Sounds like shpongle might have sounded if there was no Raja Ram. I actually prefer this to Shpongle, it has more staying power. 1 Hicksville Like psychedelic hick music it really is. Country bumpkin guitar & all those country elements I usually hate but masterfully produced into a great psychedelic track. 2 Stargate Avalon This track is noisy. No tune, no beat just lots of noises. It's short it's filler. 3 Jade Garden I stumbled upon the philosopher's stone. I had the veil of illusion pulled back & was confronted by the many levels of energy & many realms of consciousness which are available to men. I opened a pandora box of multiple realities. The intro sets a trippy atmosphere continued by the music. It reminds me of a UFO sighting, Roswell or something. 4 Shwazz A very soft 'background if you let it' track. This is one of those tracks which can be amazing if you focus on it but if your attention is diverted then it hardly registers. It has very slow beats, cool background noises & some really nice soft guitars. 5 Fifth Level Another very soft trippy track. A lack of beats & strong slow synths give a very wide open space feeling. Towards the end it reminds me of an indian reservation mixed with x-file sci fi. 6 Khatmandu I really like the guitar in this track, a nice melody. This starts beatless but a slow lethargic beat comes in during the 2nd half of the track. 7 Mundis Imaginalus Sounds like a hick sat on the front porch looking out at his enchanted swamp & playing a song on his guitar as a tribute to his lost youth. Quite a melancholic melody, some beats come in, very big but very soft. Magic. 8 Louden Another very nice guitar melody but the track is far too short. It could be much longer, excellent music. Some violin comes intowards the end teasing you but the track then just stops. 9 Darshannon I like this track. It is quite good but I just don't know what it's doing on this album. It's a fast dancefloor track, not chilled at all like the rest of the album. Can be quite shock if you are in a nicely chilled out mind set & this suddenly comes on So all in all there is great great music here. I think though that track 2 should be omitted completely & the last track should have been released on an up tempo celtic cross album (which could have been quite cool) & they should have been replaced by tracks more in line with the feeling of the other tracks.

I've heard a lot people bashing the last track. I personally find it very special, but I can see how people can not like it.1 point
