Penzoline

What is his artist name?

Oh, I'm checking out Liquid Flows soundcloud and Purple Morning is really great! Astral Projection type melodies! United Universe too! Really different from the debut album to be honest. Presence was ok but didn't stand out at all because of the repetitious sound. Not enough happened through the tracks but these are saved by the super melodies.

K.O.B. - Weight Of Oblivion No, it's the old(est) koxbox. http://www.discogs.com/Koxbox-Forever-After/master/20488

Antares - Exodus Suntrip Records 2011 1. The Exodus 9:19 2. Mysticism 7:59 3. Aurum Solis 10:41 4. The 4th Dimension 8:39 5. Dreaming Universe 9:14 6. Mount Meru 10:39 7. Astral Plane 9:30 8. Sun Sanctuary 8:36 Well first off I wasn't expecting much to be frank. The Antares track on V/A - Sundrops was something else, a really super track but a lot of things after that felt kind of typical, you know, blargh morning sunshine goa. So album was kind of announced and samples listened, didn't seem that special, still. Then came the time when I got it and listened to it. Sunshine! I'll just start by saying the artwork on this album is just super, the cover is disappointing but everything inside, spines, back, just amazing! On a whole other level, really appropriate for this album too with the organic patterns. Check out the backcover for instance. Suntrip always makes shelves with CD collections look damn good and colourful and no exceptions here! Now on to the music, I expressed this in the Erta Alé review, that the goa in this scene is, mostly, just fluff and sunshine and that is exactly what this album is. This not yet taking much from the album for me, personally, but the limit may come across in the near-future. The rough needs to start filling the fluff! There is one track that sounds more like Daimon, the darker antares project, which is the 3rd one, Aurumn Solis, and then there's the 4th one, The 4th Dimension, too which is kind of half Daimon. Both of them have the nicest growling acid deep drilling throughout and they feel much less floating albeit they still float, but that's about it for the "darkness". This album is absolutely great at what it wants and tries to be, though. That fluff floating sunshine goa. It is very driving often and the sounds are near-perfect. The production on this album absolutely outstanding. Floating goa has never sounded this precise, so to say. All the organic elements, really diluted basslines, meaning the force has been toned quite a bit for that ethereal atmosphere and driving, really wet floating acid that is everywhere and bright sunshiiiiine melodies. Especially outside in the sun many of the tracks are oh so near-perfection with their atmosphere and driving tempo. Exodus, Mysticism and Mount Meru are pure bliss at that. The others are good, really solid thought-out journeys, as well. The only bad track here is Dreaming Universe. It is well made production-wise, but damn is it stoic and boring. It has good elements but it's just too much fluffy fluffness whilst nothing happens. I listen to it for a minute and that's enough to bore me to tears. Then the weird track is Astral Plane where the melody seems far more trancy than goay but surprisingly it came off well, really a special track because of the emotion the trancy melody evokes. Actually I would have wanted another track to experiment with it, this is why Aurora on Sundrops was great as well since the main climax melody seemed more trancy. All in all I actually wanted to be more critical with the fluff-factor but damn I can't, this super well produced no matter what. A really good album, perfect for the sunshine summer but not as great for more colder seasons. This album kind of feels like a sequel to VA - Sundrops with it's pure morning concept but it lacks variance obviously since Sundrops had multiple artist. Still, it is kind of a spiritual successor, I'd say. Go buy it now if you enjoy sunshiney goatrance! If you don't, well, I'd preview first to see if it's worth it. It might be a bit much of that floating sound for some but not enough for me yet. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for anything that is Goa.. nah, I don't like Ajna. Sorry, but that's where the fluff kills me. Just a random note. To leave this mini-review on a more brighter one... "I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh! And don't it feel good!" Where to get it and samples? http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/sut/sut1cd021.html http://www.beatspace.com/dettagli/dettaglio.aspx?id=6100 http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=8702 http://www.suntriprecords.com/shop/item/SUNCD21/ p.s. Ka-sol was a brilliant release.

Man I'd buy this remastered in a heartbeat. A damn fine new school comp! Love listening to it occasionally but it's a shame about the loudness war mastering.

Anoebis should put up scans at least on discogs

Got it. Finally my collection has something longer from Takeshi. Musical genius. That thing is has such an old school feeling in it. Debating whether to get it or not.

Sick atmosphere! The electric sweeping and void atmosphere is so immense. I feel like traveling through an electric blue mist in lightspeed. This is amazing.

You do realize people very often do provide links to buy the record and in those links you can find samples. With these samples and the words it should be clear what to expect. Not all of us produce this music, so it is hard to go into professional detail on the production. Also reviews are made by individuals, it is their opinion and not a technical instruction. T2MU's reviews have to those pictures because he want's the reviews to be entertaining too in which they definitely succeed at. Don't like it? Don't have to read it. Noone here gets paid to do these reviews, they do it for the fun of it.

Yes give me bacon!

Sounding pretty badass

Even though both are brilliant, Subliminal Melancholies is consistent throughout whereas Sweet Sadness has some moments not up to par imo.

Drooling over M-run's tracks

Psynina all over again? lol.

Talk about a complete u-turn. You went from posting like someone on acid to actually posting something that is interesting and mannerly written with even offering some help to others. I personally do enjoy reading stories from back then since I never experienced the old scene and it is nice to have some that share their stories. Cheers.

What are these schedules you are talking about I actually kind of liked the clips, here's to hoping it will have goa flavours all over.

Oh hell, that is awesome! Downloading now. M-Run is so sick. An album of his would could be groundbreaking based on Goat Man and Mind bug. I don't want to wait! Edit: I retract that! It WILL be ground breaking. Just listen to these well developed melody explosions. Goddamn.

They still count in the 2000's releases though, I see no reason not to include if you think they'd be good enough Re-releases on the other hand, maybe not, but DAT records releases unreleased which is a whole different story. Likewise you can't vote DAT in a 90's poll since they weren't released back then. Koxbox was 99 btw http://www.discogs.com/Koxbox-The-Great-Unknown/master/29038 To be honest I'm really surprised to see so few mention Tetrahedron overall, o well.

"The page cannot be found" on every single one of them :/

Can someone put up any mokk tracks on youtube? I want to hear that.

New DigiCult? The last album was the most solid predictable melodic full-on album possibly ever. That may sound bad with a word like predictable but actually it is not, at all. Definitely looking forward to this. I hope the sound hasn't changed too much.

Kiriyama, Ka-sol and BotFB! Looks interesting.

Edit: I decided to make this a thread where you can contribute links to official album artwork or other official psytrance artwork. Non-official are things like shops that just sell psychedelic looking things, but aren't featured along with the music/label/artist. Old Post: I got interested in looking up buggy g riphead because he made some of the best artwork ever in the goa scene and I saw this http://www.fotosearch.com/IST510/911-082-04/ which is from http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=253579 Man I'd love to actually order that thing but the price is ridiculously high! You guys know anything else like this? The only alternative for bigger artwork is buying LP's but that's about it. Anyone know anywhere where old school posters and whatnot could be found or is that something you will only stumble upon with luck?

I was finally listening to the old 96 mix and the only unreleased track is so massive @ 1:14:00 "I'm Shocked (Unreleased)" http://soundcloud.com/uvantam/live-odessay-shizuoka-izu-ootaki-land-19960420 Absolutely shocked it never was released. Sick track! Also one of the new tracks was released on this album "Space sports armageddon" http://www.junodownload.com/products/nogerans-star-adventure/1643753-02/?trackid=2

What gear do you use and how much did it cost you? I've always wanted to start photographing but good cameras are flipping expensive.
