    What is wrong with Neogoa?

    IMO the problem is also the labels. They seem to only want this kind of "copy Astral/Etnica" music. High energy fast BPM melodic hands in the air Goa. They do not seem go for experimental trippey deeper goa or acid for that matter. Or maybe there are no artists who know how to make it? Or maybe no one make it because the labels don't seem to want it? I also do not understand why they can not release it all under the same umbrella as there's no need for sub labels as someone suggested in this debate. It's all music ;)

     

    If you are artist with free imagination and open mind, you must screw that specialized labels with narrow style, and produce music what you feel intention to produce.

     

    You can propose your music to labels time to time. If it will be worth, they will change their rules to release you. If not, make your own digital label (for start)/or give away some stuff free :P (Hello, ektoplazm!)

     

    I'm sure most of goa producers don't make music for living. So it possible to go this way.

     

    If you want make music for living, produce some house-fullon homega or other very popular stuff. Or work for production libraries. Sell sound-design soundsets, video tutorials of whatever.

     

    And make side project for your soul, if you have free time.

     

    Just some very idealistic thoughts... :lol:

     

    As far as I know about very talented guy Globular, he was never tried to be released, until it was found by label on twisted fan site... His music and sound just AMAZING.

     

    Can't stop writing here :))) It's curse.

    Music production obsession is curse too as well ;)

    Matter of perception. In my opinion they're representing ''warm'' sound in best possible way. Just put a name ''Astral Projection'' and replace with any of them and people will start praising thoose tunes like nothing before. Sad but true :)

     

    Yeah. It's perceptional stuff. I'm just trained to recognize this sound. But even if you don't, in subliminal way you will feel one thing sound more pleasant than other.

     

    Take a listen of Den Wave live tracks, 100% analogue goa trance written in realtime. Is it's sound more/less pleasant to you than named releases?

    I just wonder why no-one label want to release him, again? :o

    I liked the Artha album and EP and it's definitely something that we need more of in this scene, although I think it sounds a bit too clean and polished - that's just personal taste on my part. I like things to be a tad bit more lofi. So much modern trance just sounds clinical and sterilized.

     

    Agreed at 100%. I have used tape recorder in last released track to make sound less clean/sterile.

     

    In past was era of hardware synths with VCO or at least VCF, and analogue mixers, which sound better to my taste. But there was damn noise....

     

    Now is era of VA/software synths which sound great too and more capable of sound creation, but don't have that warmth, depth and liveness of old analogue gear. And VA synths introduce aliasing - unpleasant digital noise.

     

    I mean for example fat warmth sound of Astral Projection. Where is it in nowadays releases??? :blink:

     

    Another thing is mixing entirely in DAW (even in so nice, as Logic) - is more flat then on analogue mixer. I checked it millions times and now i'm absolutely sure in it.

     

    I mean real deepness of scene like in Hallucinogen tracks. Where is it now??

     

    Nowadays mastering compared to old-school make highs too bright, yeah it's shiny but not warm at all...

     

    But it's just aspects of sound. OP is more concentrated on lack of ideas and creativity. And it's more important.

     

    I can listen creative 8bit/tracker 4 channel music and enjoy it more, then stupid uninspired music played on moog voyager and moog taurus and recorded on tape.

     

    Where are creativity? We can describe let's say 30 common sounds, used in neogoa. And that's all. Where are ultra-wicked sounds, that we just can't express them in words?

     

    And there are a lot of undiscovered names in goa world. Take a listen to this guy (KLOP) for example. His stuff is unusual and that's so cool. Labels must release more stuff like this.

    About digital distribution - hell yeah! In era of digital distribution singles/EPs will be more effective media than albums.

     

    It's my last message in this topic. Why I am getting involved in this, don't know. :blink:

    I saw a lot opinions in style "What the heck, I expect old school goa from Artha, but it is something weird, free EP is much better" in local psytrance community. So I decide some goa people can't accept this kind of experimental approach.

    Veracohr why you take it so personal? :blink:

    I love this album too.

     

    I'm talking about it's more twisted and experimental than other releases nowadays.

    So if you have twisted music with top-notch quality, maybe Cronomi will release it. Should give a try.

    I don't think they willl say "you are not etnica-wanna-be! No way we will release you, so gtfo biatch" :P

    Just my 5 cents. How about Cronomi and latest Artha Album...

    Many goa lovers don't understand/accept this sound. Not other mainstream sound lovers either.

    Isn't it pretty experemental Hallucinogen-like album to you?

    And it was released. :rolleyes:

     

    P.S.

    Maybe it's offtopic, but it is worth to be mentioned.

    In psy-chill direction look to gliese-581c label

    Space Formings have very strong trippy power :lol: And it's free!

    I have listen [some vision for the future], [the day in night] and [i's within skies within eyes]

     

    You have succeed on making some sounds, but I can't understand structure of you tracks. Some part of one track can be interesting, and other part is horrible (sounds mess in total randomness and disharmony). :huh:

     

    Maybe it's just me: I'm not digging too much in this kind of music. :ph34r:

     

    When you'll produce next track, try to take this into consideration.

    Wish you the best. B)
