Ra - 9th is Deep, Soulful, Harmonic, Soft, Beautiful, Uplifting, Transcending, Epic, Eastern influenced Goa-trance. It also manages to be pinnacle of pioneered quality modern day Goa-trance with all of it's tracks... such quality... Favourites are Octagon, Other Self, Ultima Energica, Time Current, Spirit Complex, Trancendent and Light receiver. I get such a great feelings when I listen to them - warmth, safeness and gladness. Nods to Intro also being really good, but I don't consider it as part of this review as it simply is like a part of Octagon in a way. The best of the best here are definitely Trancendent and Light receiver. Which is also quite ironic as Trancendent is the most epic and 'hardest' out of all the tracks and Light Receiver on the other hand is the most chilled, magical and, at times, mysterious, downtempo track. Both are, simply put, Trance, in every sense of the word. Closing my eyes, relaxing and playing those tracks is a wonderful experience. Bom Shankar, truly - Bom Shankar! We need more of this! 9.8/10(4/10 scale) (Why -0.2? 2 tracks, Expand Consciousness and The Predator, didn't manage to fit in my "favourites" category, even though they are very good. Funnily enough, the downsides of both was the repetitiousness, it can be a deal breaker a lot of the times, here it luckily is not, but it still takes a little away from them.)

Sorry it took so long but I somehow forgot always to do this. Well tomorrow I will post PPZ, Trip, Ultimator and Batter WP packs. Also very soon I'll be posting Filteria - [insert title here] EP artwork(4 parts, Front, back and inlay's) that I made for fun and few more pieces that are getting released in Actoneart's artpack: scene2

Goasia - Octagon :posford:

Trifonic - Broken

Hybrid - Soundsystem 01 I suck at in-depth reviews so I'll just hook one up for you guys http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/08/20/100056.php Snippet - I personally definitely liked it a lot. The cinematic mood(IDM, Movie Score, Ambient mixed together) of CD1 was amazing, almost stunned by how well and wonderfully was it all put together and how much quality there was. CD2 consists of quality tracks also, but it's not an experience like the first, it's more of a club oriented set. There were, like in all of Hybrids sets, few "not my cup of tea" tracks(Only 2, though). Just too bad we got this instead of a 4th Hybrid album. I Choose Noise was released back in 06 and that's just too long ago, I need more genuine Hybrid!

"The Fool" by The Muses Rapt was actually released in 07, on Golden Vibes 2.

Astrix - Lost Inside Quality full-on!

Exactly why I wondered why FOL isn't in the poll, it's easily on par with Tetrahedron. Quality stuff in there, too. Why couldn't it be?

Happy new year to you too and to everybody else!

Uvantam.com - Guri And Guru Better known as Ubar Tmar.

Looks like this album is in dire need of a bump! For me, this is as brilliant as Sky Input, just more playful(K.O.B. side of things for sure). Every single track here kicks ass(except Unfiltered(Moon rmx), Speech Module and Pyrogen, those are un-believably insane awesome that kick ass on whole different levels) and the Lunar Civilizations remix does great justice to the original. Also the surprising chillout ending is wonderful. That is all. 11/10

What he said(four years ago) times one thousand. Filteria <3

IFO The very definition of Goa-trance.

Crop Circles - Lunar Civilizations (Pleiadians rmx) :clapping:

Filteria - The Predator (2907 remix)

Subra - Shomervan What a joy Subra album would be :drama:

Anyone want to review Ubar Tmar - Eigou Kaki? I would, but my review skills are no worthy of a thread.

Ubar Tmar - Cosmo Drone

Jikooha & Eiji - My Revolution And Yours Battle of the galaxies :drama:

I pretend the alec-ban

After first time listening, first things first: It's not IFO2, the style is a lot different. Now that we have that covered the rest has already been spoken by Cocco and let me quote And some of the basslines are incredibly thick and awesome! (Looking at you, Daffy Duck <3) Tetrahedron is a release that is unique to the last second. Intelligent, moody and very psychedelic piece of Goa-goodness

Just a note that ektoplazm has given this release out for free in MP3, FLAC and WAV formats http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/oood-alive/

Filteria - The Predator (2907 remix) hmmmm
