  1. Serious, that party is not the typical German party... I did great parties in Germany with lots of freaks dancing like crazy... :)

     

    I think it is more or less the same as Belgium. All the alternative people know somehow about goa/psy trance... Which is at least like 20% of the 18 years old :) (as a teacher it is easy to notice) :)

    I think, there is not the typical german party. ;-) Germany is big and every region has his crowd. Berlin has very alternative people in compare to Hamburg or Dortmund. Hamburg has the most parties, but is also the "mecca of prog" and Dortmund and the western part of germany all people love prog. ;-) In Berlin we have much prog, but also a big darkpsy-scene. Not many people knows about "real" GoaTrance. But since the last year a small goa-fanbase has formed. Maybe 5-10 people. They are there if i play a set and dancing like goa-people dance: very happy and crazy. ;-)
  2. As far as I know goa-trance is music: highly psychedelic melodic trance music with a 4/4 rhythm. :) I don't care if it was made in 94, 2000 or 2014. It stays goa-trance. I will never call our music new school or anything like that. I prefer goa-trance as a term, why putting everything in little boxes!?

    +1

     

    I think this is a big advantage over other genres like dark or forrest. Dark is only dark and hard. But GoaTrance can be dark, light, happy, emotional and so on... this is a big plus. And as a dj we can mix a colorful set with a lot of variety. :)

  3. 5. Lost in the Wild is the Achille's heel on the album for me. Let me explain. I don't mind the rubber-band effect that sounds similar to Hallucinogen's Snarling Black Mabel. I actually like what Jannis did, and from 1:46 to 2:22 is wonderful! My issue is 2:38. I thought that we were past such abrasive, in-our-face sounds.

    No no no. :) In your face sounds are the best on the dancefloor. This track is one of the highlights in his livesets. Its pure bliss. Maybe its a fail to compare it with Hallucinogen? Its Filteria: Overlayered, acidic, aggressive. And this is the reason, why we love his sound so much. :)

  4. I cant help myself, but the Psychic Voyage track is my favorit. For me it is neither flat nor I can say I feel I have listened to this 1000 times. The flow is great, melodywork is great (and I this very important for me), progression and climax is top. "Black Sun" is seemingly made in one piece. Not a filler, it is the keeper of the whole compilation. :)

  5. This video is over-exaggerated, I mean, I don't play a 1 hour live dj set like that, but I just can't do the "play and wait for 5 minutes to mix the next track", It just too boring to me.

    My objective with that video was to show that psytrance can be MIXED in creative and interesting ways. As you may know, most psytrance DJs haven't evolved with technology, haven't really taking advantage of it, they are stuck on mixing like if they were still doing it on vinyl.

    While on the other hand, you can see lots of DJs from other genres that do lots of crazy mashups, mixing techniques, looping, cue-juggling and anything they can think of. But the psytrance DJ only mix 2 tracks for a couple of seconds, swaps the bass and it's done (and that's the best case scenario, others don't even touch the EQs, they just slam the crossfader to the other side and that's it...)

     

    At first nice set and nice mixing. Its cool. :)

    As a GoaTrance-CD-DJ i can say, if I have nothing to do until the next transition i dance and smile behind the decks, because I love the music, which i play. I never bored if I was preparing a transition or mix one track into another.

    The next thing is, if you are a GoaTrance-DJ, its really hard to play two overloaded maxium melody tracks at the same time. For you and the crowd. :D Overkill! Also the kickdrum and the baseline sounds not in every track similar like in FullOn. :P

    In minimalistic or techno music it is more possible for experiments or crazy mixing techniques. But as a trance-dj I have more respect for the track. It is one artwork.

    And also as a dancer: I don't like it, the dj destroy this artwork.

     

    But do not get me wrong: You do a good job. And maybe for FullOn / PsyTrance its works. :)

  7. Mental Stream is a track from 2003. And I think the rest is also a collection of Joergs work of the last nine years. Iam not sure, but the InnerSpace track should the newest track of the album. In compare with the other tracks, this track sound very complex and have really more progression. Really nice work with the composition and evolution of the melodies. It has something special. This track is one of my alltime favs. :) I hope he does continue his 'new style' And Iam looking forward to new tracks from him!

    Surface works very well with the 'old style' of InnerSpace. Ok, the main-melody loops a way to much, but there other elements of progression here, in example adding background melodies.

     

    Its a good album, with good tracks and one amazing track: 7,5/10 :-)

     

     

    PS: One of my friends love this album. I think he give a 9/10 or 10/10. He is a big Oldschool-Goa Fan. But he doesnt like all Suntrip-stuff. InnerSpace is one of his favorites and compares him with Filteria, who he also very likes.

  8. Its a good compilation. The artwork is great: 5/5. The artwork is not to be neglected!

    The best tracks are from Psy-H-Project! Not 5/5, but 4/5. I like the atmosphere and the melodies. Iam looking forward to his album!

    But overall i would give 3,5/5!

  9. In my own productions has usually a lot of acid sounds. ;) I think is not darkgoa, maybe. My next track will be really darkish with many many acid, strange melody lines I think, also a breeze of dirty breakbeats (maybe some influence of breakcore(?))... i like to experiment.. :D
