Any recommendations for new Psytrance, with an impressive 3D-popout effect. Anything groundbreaking out there, which provides a 3D-audio experience? Preferably on both speakers and headphones. As if you could almost see the music while listening, if closing your eyes. 🤩 🎧 👽🎶

Yeah I was thinking the same. I think it would be nice to make some reviews again. To get some new inspiration, I feel like I'm stuck in a loop listening to the same old classics. I mean there must be some new stellar music out there, besides some old gems one might've missed right? Gonna explore some new music and play the Crysis remastered trilogy. Scifi first person shooters + Psytrance FTW.

Yay the forum is back from the dead, I thought it was game over for real. 🥹

Nice, I was there too, unsure about witch year, but Infected Mushroom played live. Mid 2000s. I think Skazi joined them too on stage playing electric guitar.

It is Fuel On indeed. One of the best tracks on Distance To Goa 4, too bad it wasn't the track in its entirety due to the DJ-mix. It's shortened circa 1 minute. Still great old school Goa style DJ Mix so that makes up for it. A good example of how they used to mix manually, before the more automatic DJ players/mixer features we see today where invented.

In the end who knows who the real mastermind is behind the Psynews characters gallery.. Maybe it's NHJO who is everybody? Infiltrating the mod team, covering his tracks. J/K. On a more serious note, on the internet you obviously can never be totally certain about anything. That beeing said, these type of vague rumours/conspiracy theories obviously aren't anything else but that. Until someone presents something a little bit more substantial to corroborate their claims. Until then it's just another day of "trust me bro".

Yeah I like that one a lot, her earlier tracks like Steps To The Stars, Second Steps To The Stars, Triplexus etc. All way cool, and the titular track Phenomena obviously. With its sample from the Species movie I think, about the S.E.T.I information disc with info about the human race sent out to outer space. Also very fond of her compilation tracks such as Riding Alien, Electrobot, Sparkling State of Mind, and yeah Real Rush too when I heard first time on VA Psychedelic Demons back in the late 90s.

I wasn't around that early here, maybe lurking when vacuum cleaning, the the little thing that the internet was in in those early days, looking for information about ps/goa trance. One surely had to end up here one way or another. However speaking of Tsuyoshi Suzuki, this VA he compiled made a strong impression back in 1996: https://www.discogs.com/release/625211-Tsuyoshi-Suzuki-Trancentral-Four-A-Trip-To-Goa

Daym.. so the dark side of the moon, it's hidden and nobody dares imagine what horrors are lurking there. It's like a Transformers movie.

Good to see you back @RTP and yeah life has it's fair share of changes. I wish you well and thanks for not abandoning the forum completely. A forum without mods, well that would be something wouldn't it? 🥷

Nice, you created some beautiful images of Goa in my minds eye. Was it a beach location or forest, hillside area something else? I've never been to Goa myself, so I'm not familiar with the city/area names. And btw does anyone here on the forum know what era the party beach footage is from at the end of the video interview in my original post? Is it modern IE from the era of the documentary or from the early Goa era? I can't quite place the music and the style of the decos and fashion like quite distinct compared to what's common in my country for sure. ^^

Just read via Astral Projections Facebook that Gilbert Levey/Shri Mahant Managalanand Puri aka Goa Gil has passed away sadly. Feels like yesterday when I used to blast his Kosmokrator compilation: https://www.discogs.com/release/204747-Goa-Gil-Deck-Wizards-Kosmokrator And this one: https://www.discogs.com/master/761473-Goa-Gil-Spiritual-Trance-Vol-2 What are your personal memories of Goa Gil? Googling around some for his biography and found some interesting interviews, one from as recently as 2020: https://www.gqindia.com/entertainment/content/the-incredible-true-history-of-goa-gil-psychedelic-trance-and-the-end-of-the-hippy-trail Reading Goa Gil's wikipedia biography entry, is in many ways the story of how Goa Trance came to be, summed up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_Gil

Really nice, first time I see the video. I love the album. Gotta go and dig around youtube for more videos with Vinnie and R.A. the Rugged Man

Yeah that's him alright, he even had a real profile photo on the forum I recall, which looked exactly like him in the end of the video. And mind ya this was long long long before AI/deepfakes was a thing. So I think we can safely debunk any false rumours regarding him not beeing a real person.

Weird hmm, @RTP @Penzoline could anyone of you in the mod/admin team check into the login issues of Jisnegro and the goa constrictor? And potentially other new and old visitors to the forum. Thanks! 🙏🏼

Nice shopping spree interested in the Phoenix - From The Ashes album, I love Into The Desert! Classic Swedish Goa Trance. I think he used to work at a record shop that had a lot of Goa here in Sweden long time ago, Space Records or something.

Wow that's creepy, Could it have been that the terrorists were planning specifically to kill the artists on the flyer as well? Does anyone know so far how many on that flyer who survived? I watched the interview with Anoebis on some of the other links in this thread. Glad to see atleast one of our fellow Psynews members safe and sound.

Yeah I got the impression he was real too. However just as with NHJO, I think some forum members jokingly admitted to beeing "the real him". Etc So that could probably have contributed to Reger's impression. Unless he just mixed it up with NHJO as you imply. Anyways my memory becomes like a blur when trying to remember forum things from that far back. It was such a high tempo back then here, that it was kinda hard to follow all the twists and turns in the dramas. The ban-hammer was working tirelessly in those days.

Sad times, my heart goes out to everyone affected. Nightmare stuff I can't even comprehend. Music that is such a powerful thing to bring people together. And of all genres, Psytrance that has such a peaceful and loving message. To see an attack on our beloved Psytrance community like this. It's just horrible. It's reminiscent like mentioned of the terrorist attacks in France at Bataclan. Also reminds me of the terrorist attack against the Ariana Grande concert in the UK. It's such a deliberately evil thing to plan and carry out. *Update, upon reading the reconstruction of the events by BBC News. Which I don't want link because of how graphic it is. This terrorist attack is perhaps most similar to what Breivik did in Norway. Since they were really trapped and encircled by the terrorists. That even used sniper rifles as well as besides the assault rifles and other weapons, hence the comparison to Breiviks horrible act of terror. Although he obviously acted alone. Thede terrorists acted in a very coordinated, strategic and military way. I mean this is just brutal, this is the type of techniques hunters use to encircle prey.
