Thats what he is up to.

Hehe this was released in 2006 for free, isnt it a bit naive to believe there is a new improved version? And this isnt full on, in goa we try to make the bassline behind the melodies not on top of everything like in every full on track

Favourite tracks on first listen is: Hint Of Goa, Sense Of Eden and White Fire Because these sound most goa to me, the rest of the tracks are a bit darker/progressive something in the vein of that old track by Delta-As A Child I Could Walk On The Ceiling, so those are not my prefered tracks so to say, cool to see hear that he still makes goa (if those tracks arent unreleased old tracks?)

Track is now up.

www.soundcloud.com/astralsphinx I created a soundcloud account, so follow me if want to hear new goa I'm working on.

Approved by the interstellar goa unit :posford: really wicked tunes man, mystic and alienatic very living sounds i like how all sounds sound soft even when all layers are active.. reminds me a bit of slide/ux but not as agressive! Also a big up for the drum patterns they are very original and playful. Cheers and all the best for you.

I bought a Roland D-50 yesterday in mint condition with three of the four expansion cards, gaah it has pads to die for <3 now i just need the PG-1000 controller for it so i can edit patches more easy and make my own etc :drama:

Downloading hehe that nautilus track seems interesting, i have a nautilus shell (perhaps the track dont refer to a nautilus squid but to the nautilus sub marine in the book by Jules Verne? =)

Congratulations thats a hit :posford: It really flows the background sounds and the pads are really super.

You got PM

Allready know about that one have it in my links section on my site since ages hehe. btw its Swedish ;P

Someone should make a new site similar to the discogs but more oriented towards psy/goa/acid/whatever with more strict rules and with info only editable by mods etc im sure its not an easy task but it would be a nice site for sure if the right type of dedicated people would make it. I really dont like one thing thing about discogs and that is for example if i search for an goa trance artist i get like 20 + different search results with artists with the same group/artist names for example: hyperion(1) hyperion(2´) etc crossing all kinds of genres and since i only use discogs to check info about goa trance related stuff it gets a bit messy.

Bump, this is really one of very few new school goa trance albums i have bought and i dont regret buying it, it really feels like a CD that you dont sell if you get it, its a keeper for sure Transcendent track makes me forget everything around me when i listen to in my mp3 player on the bus or the train, its so damn mystic and that is really what i have missed in a lot of the other new school goa releases, khetzal also has that mystic vibe in some tracks but this one is for sure my favourite.

Nice review Jon Cocco, you have a very good ear for details i always find your reviews to be very interesting keep it up!

There is or atleast was some time ago when i was googling around.. cant remember the name of the site, but it had some classics like transwave-land of freedom.. wich btw also has these for the 90´s so characteristic lame 3d animations Same goes for people can fly by astral projection.. one of the greatest tracks ever, but the video is lulul

Nice track indeed very dreamy only thing i wonder is why the bass is panned quite a bit to the left? Perhaps its spread with chorus or something? Cheers

Downloading, thanks for sharing

lol is this a joke? not even baba system can top this

Yes they are classics, and its a good introduction for those who are new to goa trance, a good blend of classics and neo goa For me its an instant buy because of Astrancers track as a way to support and also because he is one of the most promising/talented goa trance artists around today.

Astrancer-Dzog Chen, this track is really unusual because it has a the main melody from a turkish pop track named: Doktür Doktür by Rober Hatemo and it works really well in the track, perhaps he got the idea from Mindsphere that is from turkey? The other thing that makes this track stand out is the liquid combination of a reverb and ping pong delay in the background on some short decayed synth sound it really sounds glimmering and the overall feeling i get from this track is pure posivite emotions delivered by someone intellectual, the story telling in the track is one of the best i have heard in a goa track. The name "Dzog Chen" suggest that Astrancer might be into Buddhisism or some other new age movement, since from googling it i have understood that it means: "Great Perfection" quoted from a site: "which refers to the fundamental perspective that nothing needs to be renounced or changed." And with that in mind the track becomes even deeper, perhaps meaning that with goa trance we dont need to change the formula (full on etc ?) As it is beautiful as it is Atleast thats what my imagination thinks So for anyone who likes oriental goa this track has that with a turkish scale. :drama:

Cool

Thanks a lot! I have to change some things in the track so i have removed it for now if someone wonders why its not there anymore. Cheers

Yes and with the older artists there is a lot of old intrigues and drama between them :drama:

Thanks glad you liked it, stay tuned Keep tranceing

I was thinking about this the other day, and i got this idea.. instead of beeing negative as i was in my above post.. i thought to my self that wouldnt it be nice if a lot of the new school goa producers sent their best tracks to trust in trance records, so that Avi and Lior see and hear for them selves that something is happening in the goa trance movement.. that there are still lots of new ideas going on, who know perhaps they will like something they hear and hopefully release some new goa? Probably not gonna be so but it would for sure be nice, so why not give it a try? Cheers
