Re-listening to this and the thing that keeps bothering me is the mastering. I have the need to compensate with EQ but it can do only oh so much. Especially the amanians track, the sound is harsh and flat, though with that in mind, it's still musically simply brilliant. One of those rare tracks that just put me in the state of trance. It's so psychedelic, the amount of thundering, whirling, spiraling effects is so ridiculous. Such a magnificent piece that can only be better with new mastering. E-mantra's and Astrancers tracks suffer quite a bit as well. So if Ezel-Ebed ever comes with a new comp or an album, I would definitely suggest - or simply order - them to get better mastering, this just isn't good and definitely isn't doing justice to the actual quality of the tracks, they are really fantastic!

Holy phuck. The comment about this being the first full-on release on discogs flipped a switch in my head that put this album into a heavy ignore mode. Why would anyone make such a devastating comment on their review? This isn't crappy full-on, this is powerful yummy groovy goatrance filled with those signature sounds by Ofer. Fat basslines, interesting powerful effects and strong groove. I've only heard a part of this but seems like I'm going to want this to fill the ofer dikovsky trilogy. (Oforia - Delirious, Tandu - Multimoods) Very good stuff.

Man that pissed me off.

Well, I made my comment before I even really listened to Chi-a.d. so I'll have to come back later with a more of an informed opinion.

^the pink disc was actually SO much better than what pictures conveyed! sexy pavel pink! Hopefully! It's always so nice to get stuff factory sealed.

I know theres loads more, Come on, share your favourites! Banging! I love that sound that starts at 1 minute mark, unfortunately it seems this is the best thing he ever wrote and almost the only thing he wrote when it comes to goa

Wikked! Though can you guys say that Lost World is better than Reactor Of Life? Oh and nice cover although I'd get rid of that smooth bezel that you can see on the top and left edges

So many masterpieces written back in the day.

Shakta - Q Only vinyl FTL

Sundial/Sundial Aeon makes such chill, pretty music. I will be looking forward to this, though the inspiration notes leave me wondering will they make a drastic turn here.

Oh wow that cover. I think you could have worked out a better background here but damn that's a nod to old school having that deity thingy(?) there. Samples on the other hand.. darker neogoa for the win! Also a new subra track! Can't wait!

Great mix, really perfect flow. Also I never heard of Orthonorma and Irezumi and those two tracks were really nice. Have to check those artists out.

We need moderators to do this dirty work lol

Nothing goa here, but a good trance track.

You sure you aren't mixing progressive psytrance with progressive trance?

This thread makes me weep.

That cover is fking epic! Such a cool style, tons and tons of details. One more reason to actually get this.

This is such an odd release, though let's get one thing straight here, it's not odd as in bad, but it's odd. Why is that? The amount of layers doesn't seem to be much and the tracks sound empty at first glance, every single one. This guy isn't like the others who just go for layers upon layers and twirling multiple melodies, but he lays out a small framework and just continues with it. If you skip these tracks, like preview it, it will not sound good! He does not have the continuous force that other producers do. Every track here starts simple, and continues fairly simple, but everything flows forward. If you give it the time necessary, which is around the first ~2minutes, you will be lost in the music. It will remain simple, but the flow of the melodies just makes it work. It is rewarding in a sense. Think of The Muses Rapt. The sounds are bad at first glance, really old low quality midi-like sounds, but if you are open minded and give it time to show the melodies, and when it just clicks, it's so good. Here I find same sort of situation with Nolax, at first I actually found it bad "ew wheres the epic melodies and blasting adrenaline?" "Why are the sounds like that??" but one day I decided to listen to it in the background and it hit me like a rock how everything just flows into place. Most of the tracks here are really nice journeys! The only track which I'm not really fond of is The Chromium Fence and that's about it. Definitely a solid release, but the style is just so different from everything else that it may be hard to notice that at first. A little open mindedness never hurt anyone. Recommended, check it out if you can. I want to mention that the covers do no favors for phototropic releases imo. And by the looks of it, it seems the music artists make these covers themselves.. For example, suntrips and DAT Recs covers are better simply because they hire professional graphics artists to do them! But then again this isn't only a problem with phototropic, I'm just trying to give some cc here that's all. Zelur Project had an amazing cover though and the new Amithaba was pretty nice too, to give some credit.

Battlestar was fucking ace. The last season is love or hate mostly, but I found it good.

Not usually interested in full-on but, eh, I'll give this a go.

Found it locally for cheap so why not
