    Nolax - Persistence 2.0 (Album Re-Release!)

    in Free Music Promotion

    Posted

    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:

    Cosmosis - Psychedelica Melodica

    in 2007

    Posted

    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.

    perfect :) :posford:

    update: I heard Son Kite are good at mastering..ehhrm I wish they would help out a member of the psychedelic family....well..

    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 actually think that this sound like Progressive Goa Trance, if there is such a thing...

    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.

     

     

     

    Ok this album is getting better and better, I don't know you're connection with metaphysics and so on and I do not take part in the argument that seems to go on between some folks here, I just say what I think of the music.

    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

    I want to bring another thing to attention, I don't know anything about mastering or so, but this is just my feeling after listening to the album that many tracks I think the treble is too low, meaning the higher sounds get lost in the basslines. I really hope the retail cd will sound a little bit more clear and crisp, just a note.

    hi prima.materia,

     

    first of all, thanks a lot for your great feedback about my music. the comparision you made honoured me A LOT.

     

    thanks for sharing your observations about the sound, maybe you could elaborate your description?
