I feel like I only miss the unreleased portion of goa. Even then I've heard plenty on soundcloud and such. Don't really care for other genres so much.

"When trying to contact them through a guy who knows them, they didn't want to get in touch nor reveal their real names." Guys must've been real shy. Today everyone puts their face, name, adress, credit card number and then some on the interwebs for all to see.

That story hasn't ended.

Well there was Digicult - Out Of This World... 2008... it's been 6 years already? Is there anything similar released after it? The newer Digicult albums couldn't hold a candle to this one, too predictable. Otherwise I liked VA Shivadelics from last year.

Not bad. Reminds me of digicult but less melodic, still heavy doses of 303 which is not super common for full-on, gives it a nice goa-edge. Many tracks were average or a little bit better but Illuminated Ones and Antikythera Mechanism are very good! Great melodies, first one could almost sneak into a neogoa set and the second one is very groovey.

Draeke you got me curious but there is no way to preview these tracks without itunes and I am not touching that abomination even with a 10 foot pole. Is it goa?

Tekkonkinkreet was great but the OST made it brilliant. I saw Pain And Gain. All the criticism and hate it gets is justified, however what an entertaining movie it is. It looks and feels like a music video with the way it's shot which makes it look really good and the acting was just fantastic. You have to go in it and tell yourself to not take the movie overly serious because everything is.. well, over simplified, but it just works.

Good luck, that ree.k is super rare! One of the last things I want too but the price is probably out of my reach..

It really depends on the person behind the name. Goa is not much of a profitable scene, but AP in particular don't have nothing to worry about as their audience reaches beyond this little niche of ours. So I also think talking about it is a moot point.

Interesting, will listen later but can we at least have a tracklist?

Wow that's actually pathetic.

I've heard the first track somewhere before but I can't put my finger on it.. Good ep tho.

I was gonna put up a full lenght review but... I haven't... Absolutely a marvelous EP. The variance in each track is almost mind boggling considering all the stuff we hear through the years from other artist. That and the organic elements(Bergamot!) makes the atmospheres super unique and psychedelic. I throughly enjoyed this EP and it reminds me of Sky Technology's first EP in some way. For some critcism, I can see people saying this is cheesy, but to me it never crosses that line, but it's not something I would play to a goa noobie either. It's more complex with all of it's variety than it might seem and it's a little unrefined (like the key changes feel more forced than they should) which makes the production feel lacking, the overall flow is not quite there.

Surprised nobody said anything about the cover. It's awful. Guys please... cartoon covers are for 1980s. Omnivox never grabbed my attention however this album sounds pretty interesting. Have to take a listen.

I'm a little baffled by your comment balance. Calling Dragun cheesy yet preferring Zoa 3 is 1+1 = 0. Zoa 3 is filled with cheesy nitzo(with good reasons ), Zoa 2 is NOTHING compared to it, Dragun included. To be honest I think Zoa 2 has more cheesier tracks than dragun by far, like midi-rico(not a bad track though). Regardless, in my books Protozoa 2 is the best out of the 3, the style is super consistent from start to finish. It's full nitzhogoa, no full goa, no full nitzo, it's all a great mishmash. One negative I have is mastering leaves to be desired, quite a lot in fact. And Dragun is like the best nitzogoa track ever conceived. I won't deny the comparison to happy hardcore, but I also don't think it ever falls to a point of super cheese (like happy hardcore always is). It has a wonderful sample, lovely climaxes and enough cheesy bits to push it over to nitzogoa side. The massive explosion at 2:13 destroys any dancefloor at any point in time and whenever it returns it just enforces it's wonder. Fucking awesome.

You have to be shitting me...

You're saying you stole it ? lol

You should know by now. There is none. However rumour has it there is unreleased material that might get released one day.

You know me too well.

I know one dude who likes melodic full-on casually.

Something non-goa definitely. Just to make it dramatic. Need a good thought...

Those remixes sound quite a bit different from the originals. I am excite.
