  1. hey there.
    still visiting from time to time, but not posting much (it somehow feels like necroing an old thread…)

     

    how do you all find out about new music now? when psynews was more active all important releases were discussed here. i find i'm missing lots of good releases now.

  2. 5:34 when one melody suddenly becomes two lines that fill your whole field of "vision".

    and for something more modern

    sometimes a simple slide with the right notes left hanging can be enough. spirit architect&djantrix certainly are at the forefront of fullon nowadays.

  3. i haven't bought a single cd for years. it was different when i could still rip cds to my music library, but now i'd have a piece of plastic i can't even read out anymore. buying a cd, paying for shipping and then downloading the files (in a minute while the cd, that i couldn't even play, is not even in the mail yet) feels a little pointless.

    I wonder if she has interest producing a new PURE GOA (classic style and obviously more contemporary for our time now) album by Suntrip Records? This music is sooo spiritual, beautiful, aware, inspirational, magnetic, danceable, and engaging!

    it doesn't even have to be goa. i'd also be interested in her take on modern psytrance.

    Make a psytrance track that sounds like it was made by Simon Posford and Erez Aizen around year 2000. No inspiration from Duvdev is allowed.

    Make a psytrance track that sounds like it was made by Hux Flux and Process around year 2000.

    Make a new Shpongle album inspired by the Carnival of Peculiarities EP.

    i think one or two years from now we will be able to actually post such requests and get a halfway decent result.  though i wonder what the music equivalent of drawing hands is…

  6. i'm not so much into goa trance these days. more into psytrance a la braincell or forest. i don't really have anything to review because i don't know any good releases from 2023. on this forum you can only keep up to date with goa trance, on reddit the most "recommendations" you get are posts of newbie producers who push their mediocre half-finished tracks and the ultra-commercal stuff that's thankfully not getting much playtime anymore at parties. another site that had previously listed lots of new releases (albeit free to download) went defunct too and is not available for information purposes either…

    so where are all the releases posted to nowdays?

    the only album i picked up the past year is airi - correlation (zenon stuff) and it didn't get enough playtime to leave an impression yet.

  7. i haven't heard the t5v in person, but i have the adam a8x myself and i can tell you that anytime i hear anytime i hear music played on speakers that don't have the characteristic adam (or eve or hedd) ribbon tweeter, i immediately notice a lack of clarity in the upper frequencies.
    (there seems to be a recurring pattern that people who ask for opinion of audio equipment online mostly get replies from people recommending their own choices ;))

    of course the only real way to decide is to hear both speakers for yourself.

    The first track of the album was haunting me for a few days, like it was something I had heard before despite I was pretty sure I hadn't.

    It turned our to be that Sonic Species track, some parts of the Altered State's one sound almost like it was an attempt at 1:1 remake

     

    now that you mention it, the similarities are very obvious.

    Another fresh album, very modern sound but I think I hear a lot of influences from classic morning stuff, such as Protoculture, Silicon Sound, Ephedrix, Digicult

    Really good one, IMO.

     

    thanks. there is definitely some influence from there. but it also reminds me of sonic species, which isn't a bad sign at all either.

    i just wish it didnt sound so clinically perfect. that would make the music more interesting. 

    true. and also when skipping through the tracks sometimes the bassline stays exactly the same.

    It sounds good, but it all sounds the same. Over and over again. Same synths and same sounds for 10 years. He should dare to experiment.

    true. but he does have a sense of atmosphere and knows when to leave space instead of filling the track up with mediocre stuff. also the clean, almost progressive foundation is refreshing even though he uses the same old e-mantra sounds on top.

    I saw them and it were the two of them ... the gig was advertised as Magnetrixx and Morganixx on the lineup though, I believe.

    But in your case it could have been that Stefan was sick and Heike just played the set alone ... she's a DJane after all (Morgana)...

    could be. i just found the party at goabase (praise them for staying online and keeping the records) and it was just advertised as magnetrixx.

    but in the reports there is "danke an stefan und heike" so she was there for sure :)

    You probably meant MORGANIXX.

    There's Magnetrixx = Stefan Lewin himself
    and Morganixx = Stefan & Heike

    although some Magnetrixx tracks are also made by both of them ... so you can't go by that rule of thumb either :P

    Oh and don't forget Autiomatrixx = Magnetrixx and Audiomatic :D

    i remember being at a party (afair there was either magnetrixx or audiomatrixx on the lineup) and there was a woman up there playing at that timeslot. maybe i remember it wrong or they put the wrong alias there on the lineup ;)

    Took me till today to find this (gonna pretend that the underrated-ness of the track is responsible for that), but indeed, Magnetrixx is also still alive - or at least he was in 2019, which is still quite recent:

    I think Didgeridoo is a fabulous track ... what do you think?

    nice track. thanks for reminding me of magnetrixx. haven't heard anything from him in a long time. (i just had to check, you're right and i'm wrong in thinking that magnetrixx was a woman ;) )

    ..sorry for spamming but i want to change my top a little bit.

    1. Mindsphere

    2. UX

    3. Global Sect

    4. Gamma Draconis

    5. Triquetra

    you can edit your original post to make it easier for the automatic counting script to function if we will be able to use it.

    but i have no idea how we could count a label as best release of 2020.

    The people who were doing the official polling have kinda.. uhh.. disappeared.

    I blame corona.

    You're free to give alternative options!

    then let's just do it ourselves. we can hope that someone who can automatically evaluate the votes jumps in by the end of april, otherwise we'll have to do it manually.

  16. it's march already and we haven't done anything like this yet?

    we will hopefully use a script to automatically evaluate the results so please keep your votes in the following format:

    Uptempo:
