Good stuff!
Just something about house music clicked for me a while back. I love the depth of the music. Goatrance is just so maximal. It becomes fatiguing and this kind subtle groovy music seems to re-energize my batteries.

Nice track. Really phat atmosphere and the remix has a total 90's goay vibe.
I've started to get into house lately myself albeit melodic house (Deep/Prog)
Let's make this a house thread.
Melodic house recommendations are welcome!

Very creative project and the fact the artists have studied music(Classical I read) shows.
Sounds of cosmic lifeforms is an outstanding album by the way.

That track at 30:00 is insane. Dark twilighty goa.
Refreshing compilation.
-
That 2nd sample is wicked good.
-
Bholenat is real good. I adore those electrical currents you have going on in there and generally the whole track is well structured and varied. The uplifting moments there and on quasar604 are definitely something out of the norms, so more like that.
I also think it's interesting some of your melodies seem a little off key, but it doesn't sound crap, so keep going I guess.
On a side note there's lots of acid spilling neogoa lately..

The last CD is really goddamn good. I love this midtempo story-telling goa.
Why magma so short tho?

Hello welcome.

You need to calm down lol.

Another remix album.
Christ...
Edit: these tracks are weird mang.

What was the artist name?
-
Yeah this sounds pretty different to the rest.

Spotify is only revenue if you have hundreds of thousands of plays. Same with youtube. They're more of just promotional platforms really. I've found so much good music through spotify, though that doesn't stop me from supporting releases I enjoy.

Pure convenience. Limited storage space, rather not deal with the hassle of sticking files onto phone.
-
I wish rest of the goa labels would go on spotify too.
-
Still the best compilation post 2000. Hands. Down.

What's with the fascination with remixes these days?
-
You know this sort of discussion was inevitable. I really think many of the differing opinions are great. I am undecided on the release. Some remixes fail while others succeed to some extent. In general I find it lacking those emptier moments.

Spot on.

Klecks is pretty gruvy
-
Amazing. Phat atmospheres and very storytelling structures. Love the oomphy, detailed production too and you can tell it's mastered by colin.
-
Great flow like usual. I really enjoyed the track selection from middle toward the end.
-
Dreamy music.

I love how this compilation seems to be a step in another direction. The last 3 compilations from suntrip have been a bit homogenous in the style department(not to say there wasn't any great moments) but they shifted gears with this compilation to a much more stylized refreshing path. Some of the music reminds me of something like Matsuri's Resonance mood, or otherwise acid heavy darker compilation. I mean just listen to the atmosphere in the Jagoa track. There is a clear, maybe more mechanical, style till the 7th track, where I feel the compilation kind of falls apart into the typical Suntrip realm. I don't understand why, because like I said, up until that point it was really refreshing.
So I think the biggest critique for the compilation is the inclusion of Mindsphere and Crossing Mind. Crossing Mind doesn't fit one bit. It's very harsh and lacks the softness of the first 6 tracks. Not saying it's a bad track, I actually like it, lovely melodies, but I don't feel like it belongs. (Also to note he is in every compilation since Temple Of Chaos.) Mindsphere is a tad too uplifting, although again a good track. I know he has darker tracks (he must) that would have fit the album better. I just find the change from 1-6 to 7 jarring.
The last track is fine no matter the selection, it's a nice throwback to the 90s and, well, it's the last track.
I really feel weird critiquing the selection, because compilations lately don't really convey a theme(to my ears at least), so that doesn't ever even come up in the discussion. This one, however, does, and big thumbs up for that. I really think the compilation until 7th track is something new and great and I hope to hear something like it again but more complete. Great job regardless of that (personal) critique.
Actually now that I got to think about it, doing a split compilation would have been cool. Darker tracks for the first and brighter for the second. Like you kind of did with Energy Waves and Temple of Chaos

The new hypnoxock has a lot of things that goa from the 90s had. It's really surprising.
