Thanks I put up a new blog about my music: www.nolax.at (based on the old website) Christoph

thank you all.. i am really curious about the feedback

Hello, friends of melodic oldschool goa Sadly, the original download version of this album seems not to be hosted any more at ektoplazm. Since some time, the mastered phototropic-version of the 2.0 album is available as mp3-download on amazon/itunes. I will work something out to get the original version hosted for download again! And the best thing: my next album "Turning Point" is already in press: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/59015-nolax-turning-point/page__pid__960873__st__0 Christoph

Hi everybody! I am very excited about presenting my new album, after a long time of silence. Certainly I hope you'll like it! The preliminary feedback on the samples is great, thank you! Harald/Phototropic told me CD should be available in ~2 weeks on psyhop! I am very courious about your feedback Christoph

hi everybody, after a long time of silence i am happy to anounce that Persistence 2.0 is available - with new mastering and some other tweaks - as real CD on Phototropic Records: see the corresponding post here: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=51615 i am also working on a new album regards, nolax

hi elad, thank YOU. christoph

Hi Colin, very nice indeed Christoph

hi, after attently reading this thread and listening to the cd several times, i keep asking myself where the oldschoolish elements are. this album is not by any means oldschoolishly influenced nor does it in any way remind me of the old masterpieces cosmosis did in the glorious times. this album is totally contemporary, it's style, it's production technique and everything. about melodies that can't be percieved as such because of modern production techniques - well if we don't perceive a melody, there usually is none. in my opinion, which in the case of this genre is not based on lots of experience (i avoid full-on by all means and don't understand people who mix it up with oldschool goa trance), this album is OK if listening to those tracks at full-on-parties. But after having so often read about the cosmosis oldschool revival with this album i must admit it was nothing but a disappointment realizing that it had nothing to do with oldschool goa trance.

nice mixes! thanks a lot

hi mr puppies congratulations to "Thy real Name" and the outstanding "A New Hope" on "Ulterior Natality"!!! Christoph

very good!! you did it - catch the dubby vibe into a totally psychedelic ambient. reminds me of Ott, at least some parts of it. please do more of this stuff Christoph

hi artha, i really enjoy listening to your music. well done! Christoph

hi diaks, after enjoying your hieroglyphic riddle so much you hit it again with imhotep! congratulations, my friend - you're doing the right stuff LIIIIKE IT!!!! Christoph

hi people, thanks for your great feedback. as you may have noticed, i have changed the download-link of the initial post to ektoplazm's host. thank you, christoph

thanks for the hint, i know son kite and actually even liked some of their older releases, they do definitely have a good and fat sound, I think it fits well to their genre. in my understanding "mastering" is the last step done before producing the actual media (CD, Vinyl) and "mixing" seems more to be the step you are referring to. mixing is about levels, stereo field, frequency separation, individual track dynamics processing and so on. mastering is something I believe is done on the stereo mixdown - which nowadays, in the age of digital music production and virtual sound synthesis is not that important any more. (one can always go back to the very "source" of a sound and adapt it to the whole). i think there isn't; for naming convention purposes and aspects of clarity we should distanciate from bringing the term "progressive" into a subspecification of goatrance. progressive trance is an own and individual musical genre which is not any more or in any way similar to the goa trance we are referring to here. moreover I happily observe a general separation of progressive trance scene from the "goa"-trance scene, which I would love to see happening with full-on too. as for my individual style I understand every listener and every musician (more abstract: individual) captures different aspects of the same thing (huxley ) which in my case consequently leads to the type of goatrance I produce. thanks i have to take this opportunity and distanciate myself from any fight/flaming/etc which happened in the last weeks in the context of metapsychic records. in my opinion, philipe, vassillis and martin (HI!) are very nice guys who do a lot for our music. pareidolia on "Human Hyperactivation" is the first "official" release I ever had (THANKS AGAIN) as for the money issues: again, I judge what I know and what I see. therefore there is nothing in general and less in this situatino i would critizise about MPR. To the contrary. I think we are here all for the same reason, a very, very special reason. WE LOVE GOA TRANCE NORMALITY REESTABLISHED I found the text

post stealer i`ll have a look in the dark realms of the temp inet files when I`m back home .. no big deal!

Edit: Accidentaly erased by Anoebis because I pushed the wrong button, once again sorry!
