    While IFO is rated as the best Oldschool Goa Album ever, i think it is just Good...i would have given it a solid (B Grade)

    but because of its coherence and continus quality its for me a A-

    Strongest Track for me is Alcyone for sure 

    I respect Your point of view although I differentiate opinions about albums and opinions about milestones ;), I'm also not a worshipper of some ultra-top classics.

  2. For more than 20 years I have psychedelic goa trance relapses now and then. Every time I plunge into the genre this album floats nearby. I can imagine, that next two decades could be the same. Timeless music.

    Give it a chance. Maybe even start with the last 3 tracks. I know what you mean but for me this album had a lot of stand out 'big' moments. It is cosmic AF tho.

    After Your post I've tried it again and, unfortunately, with the same effect. To my ears the tunes sound like a long, multilayered build-ups. I guess I need more ear-candies ;).

    Nevertheless, strong album, just not my cup of tea.

    Very welcome; and when even more patient, the future @ cronomi hold a nice suprise (working on it) :excl:
    On a note: I read many music collectors understand very well what cronomi is all about: making few releaes, slow in pace, BUT always sounding unique and quality wise outstanding - thanks for your support :wub:

    Are You trying to say, that there will be more Portamento's music? Don't even dare to tease like that, if it's not the truth!

    I haven't found anything similar to the vibe of 'Portal'.

  5. Digging up this fossil (alphabetical order):

    Art of Trance - Wildlife on One
    Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy
    Electric Universe - Stardiver
    Hallucinogen - Twisted
    Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom
    KoxBox - Dragon Tales
    Pleiadians - I.F.O.
    Portamento - The Portal
    Total Eclipse - Violent Relaxation
    Transwave ‎– Helium

     

    Some of them are here having sentimental value to me (like Art Of Trance, Electric Universe or Total Eclipse ) and some because they are IMO untouchable (Hallucinogen, KoxBox, Pleiadians). Portamento's album brought me back to goa/psy sounds and I consider it a new classic.

     

     

  6. Anyway, for your pleasure ;)

     

    Copy & paste the link above! It is private, keep it like that please :) - This is just the first track of 4-5 tracks... The others have a nother type of bassline, but the same psychedelic crazy sounds :D

    Whoa! Proper KoxBoxian mood, guy (girl ? :)) really did the homework. Subtle melodies and heavy sfx usage detected, this could be huge.

  7. Could someone tell me why there are lot of post 2004 producers whose style is inspired by AP, MFG, Pleiadians or Transwave, making dancefloor bombs or deep-space storytelling tunes but there are only two or three trying to explore crazier/stranger side of goa? Is it harder to achieve? I'm asking because new wave artists talking about their inspirations often mention Hallucinogen or KoxBox next to those I've written earlier.

  8. Infected Mushroom have stopped years ago, Talpa has moved to some kind of horror-prog, I haven't heard anything new from Principles Of Flight and it's been ten years since Misted Muppet's album.

     

    Terrafractyl is the man I need in psytrance. Cinematic and inventive psychedelic at its best, His tunes hit all the right spots in my ears.

     

    I've read through few Terrafractyl discussions, some people complain about similar basslines and drums. Well, it's sometimes true, His releases aren't very versatile in this area, but I consider it as another producer's stamp, it's all about atmosphere, different melodies and strange, funky feeling.

     

    If you love melody and squelchy synth sounds then this is an album for you. Above all else Terrafractyl continues to define his own unique sound. There are artists you may categorise similarly, but no one sounds quite like him (unless you count a few acts on his label following in his footsteps, like Spacey Koala and Neurorythmic).

    +1, thanks for the great review.

     

    Doesn't matter what music will be released next, I'm pretty sure this album will stay in my Top 10 of 2015.

  9. I don't think I've ever seen less 'goa-ish' covers than this bunch. Looks like your every summer radio hits album (although 'erotic goa' sounds intriguing).

     

    Female psytrance made by a dude. :lol:

    Maybe it's like in UK garage - more vocals and melodies was 'for the ladies', harsh and more bass for the guys, so maybe it's not about the gender of the producer, but the gender of the music ;).

  10. The point is, Ovnimoon always seems to have some great things to say and he's talking about the same things he's talked about before and he's saying them in similar ways. But he's like an old friend that says exactly what I want to hear and when he opens his mouth he says them in the most remarkable ways.

    A bit OT, but sometimes I want my favourite artists not to change their styles too often, at the end of the day that's why (among other things) we like them, right :)?

  11. Hello people.

     

     

    It is only february, but we already had very exciting things happening in the Goa microcosm.

     

    It has never been my cup of tea, but in the golden days, there existed (and you know it) a special kind of Goa, that was either labelled as freeform or experimental. Usually, it consisted in drunken melodies with a thick bassline. But overall, it was crazy psychedelic stuff born to repell the boundaries of psychedelic madness.

     

    Example ?

    This species died out. Until now ?

    I'll just put this one here (form different topic):

     

    We also have a new release ready by someone who sounds so koxbox Dragon Tales but with some more melodies, that my friends couldn't believe it was NOT koxbox! More info on that soon :D

  12. no risk of running a Caesar by piercing the listener to death with synth stabs.

    What does that mean?

     

    Great album btw, for me it skips from Transwave through AP to Etnica, but with their own twist. No walls of sound, which is nice. This one should stay with me for a while :).
