Please read and respect these rules/guidelines before posting new reviews. 1. Please use the appropriate release year before posting . If you're posting in a "multiple year" thread (ie. 1990-1994) then specify the release year in the thread title. 2. If youre an artist / label that wants to promote a new release please use the Promos group and not this one! ANY promos found in the reviews section will be moved and the one responsible for it warned. 3. This section is for psytrance reviews and psytrance related genres reviews. If you want to discuss the best releases this year, what albums should be considered classics, the reviews section layout, the quality of reviews, the latest Tool release, want to request a review, etc. etc., then please use the General or Off-Topic sections of the forum! This is intended for psytrance music and its subgenres so no reviews of parties or other music genres. A bigger tolerance will be allowed for old stuff (stuff released before 96) since back then there wasn't an "official definition" of psytrance. Also chillout/ambient genres are allowed as per usual. 4. Before posting a new review, check if a review of the album hasn't already been written. If its the case then write your review in the already existing thread and do NOT open a new one! Finding older topics should be easy, use the Search function: type part or the whole album title and dont forget to limit the search to the subforum of the year you want to post in. If you're starting a new thread for a compilation then you should ALWAYS write the title under the format : "V/A - Name of comp". So that all the compilations will be easier to find. So do NOT start a topic with "VA" (no "/" between the V and the A) or "V/A :" (":" instead of "-"), "VA Name of Comp" (no "-" between the V/A and the name) etc. This is because how search works. 5. When opening a new thread put the name of the album and artist in the topic title and make sure it doesn't have any typos (or else the search function wont work). If you made a mistake, you can easily re-edit the title by using the Edit button at the end of your post, if that function is not working, then use the report function and report your topic to moderators asking to correct the typos. (UPDATED 2021) 6. You should aim for the first post to be more informative. This doesn't mean an essay by any means, but giving people better understanding of the release should be the goal of the first post. People come here to read about the release and to get some information how it is and stuff like "this release is killagrgrhrhrg" won't tell them anything. After the first post you can post these mini-reviews and discussion if you so wish, but no derailing of a thread is allowed. If you feel so strongly about something that does not generally have much to do with the release, please make a thread in an appropriate section and stop posting in the review thread. Here is a few well made reviews that should give the general idea on how an informative review could look! https://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54539-solar-fields-movements/ https://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/56930-fragletrollet-playground-of-spirit-shaman-film-records-media https://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54395-crop-circles-tetrahedron https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/73083-martian-arts-giant-locusts-tip-records/ 7. Personal grudges against artists or reviewers are not welcomed and will be deleted and might lead to moderation so try to use your brain before posting. If you have anything to say to the artist or another reviewer you can always PM (Private Message) or e-mail them. 8. When you open a thread please include Cover Art, Tracklist(preferably with track lengths), release date, label etc. relevant information regarding the album you are reviewing. Also it might be a good idea to include links to shops that are selling the release. (UPDATED 2021) 9. For color or size codes please do not over-do with them and remember this forum has 2 skins so the color white won't show up on another very well and color black won't on the other. Also remember to clean up font formatting that may be carried over when copying your review from one site to another. For Image usage, it is allowed to post images or gifs in reviews but for images try to keep them relatively small in size so it won't make the review look cluttered and cause problems for readers.

Wow I totally forgot about this thread. I should turn on notifications. Send me pm.

Why do you have so many?

Why isnt the old one available anywhere?

I considered ordering from there as well but I was not sure if he was just conning people at this point. It's a goddamn shame because all of anjunas release were top notch.

Thanks dude!

So Erta Alé 2? I have massive expectations for this (which I probably shouldn't because that way I get disappointed easily). Erta Alé is still the very best post 2000 compilation in my honest opinion. There are a few compilations that kind of come close, but none that match the whole.

Fucking amazing album. So many of these tracks have stood the test of time for me as I keep coming back to them. Beyond Spaces 7:07 is the coolest climax ever. That spinning synth in the background is increeedible. The most wondrous part about this album is the fantastic variety. Every track tells a different story. Every track has meticilous craftsmanship behind it and we're totally flying over the goa/nitzo territory in a way only agneton could before, and his sound was always clearly more on the nitzo side of things.

Samples?

Wizzy Wizzy. Jesus.

I missed this. Yo still looking for cover artist?

I stumbled on a bunch of unreleased lapsus tracks on my computer (I think these were posted on electrobel) and I just can't understand why Lapsus never released an album. This guy produced really funky melodic goatrance. Sometimes it sounded like dark Filteria, other times it was more suomi-like (at least in these files I got).

Ephedra is hanging between nitzhonot and goatrance for sure. Some tracks are euphoric goa and some are definitely nitzhonot. I got a new one: Proxeeus = Cosmic horror goa.

I've been noticing lately some banging old schoolish goa sounds (acid + melodies) in the techno scene Anyone have more? These tracks are very psychedelic imo. Super powerful and oozing that 90s rave sound. Especially the Dunkle Illusion track. It's very reminescent of V-Ger & Soma - Acid Rain Over Bombay EP albeit less melodic.

Basically all the Dat records releases of pleiadians/etnica/crop circles have disappeared from just about every platform where you buy music and the Filteria vinyl won't have the most massive remix of Lunar Civilizations because of "licensing issues." The re-releases are already gaining price at a fast momentum in discogs and are becoming increasingly scarce. What happened? I find this situation just silly. I'd love to stream the classics from somewhere other than youtube - and maybe buy the physical copies I missed out on. There is money to be had, that's for sure - so what gives??? Why can't I have Lunar Civilizations remix on my Filteria vinyl??? Just. Silly.

It's really weird how they didn't even have a closing sale or final words.. I remember saiko being quite fair with prices?

I've taken care of this.

I just want to make one thing clear: All the updates to ranks, achievements and whatever come with the updates and are automatically "on." It takes manual labour to turn them off or customize them. Also the problem with the new "rank" syste is that it's based on "points" and I have no idea what these points are. Anyone remember the original ranks?

What the heck is going on with the etnica/pleiadians stuff? All of their old work has disappeared from every official channel too. The lunar civilization remix is the most intense thing ever and needs to be on that LP..

Very storytelling music. Have to listen a bit more to get a better feel for it but thanks for bringing this to my attention!

If the case was indeed malevolent then a post on a forum makes sense because it stirs up publicity. However it all seems like a misunderstanding and a bunch of gun-ho bots. I don't see the point in keeping this discussion open further as everything seems resolved. I'm editing the title and locking the thread.

I really enjoyed his compilation tracks and the sampler sounded really good - unfortunately the album did not live up to my expectations. The melodies were kinda lackluster and it sounded a bit simple.

You just need to search for labels that release psychill and go from there. That last track sounds a lot like the downtempo stuff from Total Eclipse..

Spotify algorithms are really spot(no pun intended)-on. I frequently get amazing suggestions from random playlists it offers.
