  1. All of them except Ra (and Dimension 5 re-release) are the now stereotypical \"newschool goa\", especially Filteria. (In other words it\'s try-hard and lacks creativity.)

     

    The Ra album is verging on a combination of goa and ambient. It\'s not got a whole shitload of layers of random sounds in it, doesn\'t use the stereotypical goa sounds, etc.

  2. Koxbox - \\\"Dragon Tales\\\" is a great example - nothing sounds like that at all - while I could put AP, Cosmosis, Dimension 5 etc in a similar sounding category, \\\"Dragon Tales\\\" I can\\\'t really compare to anything... Same with the others I mentioned...

    All these artists have distinct features about their music, even though they may be pretty subtle here.

     

    Astral Projection has very little creativity between tracks, they all sound the same, but they are still great, melodic and nobody sounds quite like them.

    Dimension 5 has really big melodies in Transdimensional and then goes really laid back in Second Phaze (totally different albums), but they seem to have more careful constructed layers.

    Cosmosis isn\\\'t very similar to either Koxbox or Dimension 5, though there are some similarities.

     

    Also as someone else said, you\\\'ve just mentioned a couple artists here. Maybe if you listed to hundreds of artists you would understand how each of them has varies. Don\\\'t just listen to the most popular things as people tend to worship groups like Pleiadians, Cosmosis, Filteria, for example, which sound very similar to each other (many people don\\\'t care for creativity at all).

     

    Try listening to some of these major artists who sound very different from each other: Jaia, Transwave, UX, Chi-AD, Sandman, Ra, KURO, Moksha, Ubar Tmar, Asia 2001....

     

    Also, try to listen to the whole depth of the music (the nice part about old school goa!) not just the beat, because that\\\'s always going to be the same by definition.

  3. LOL EZ

     

    X-Dream - Out of Control

     

    What a perfect closing track to one of the greatest albums ever released.

    Assuming you mean Out Of Your Control? Track does little for me but yea it qualifies. :)

     

     

    Hard pressed to list more good ones. :(

     

    Electric Universe - Nexus

    Electron Wave - Chromatic Aberration

    Cyber Planet - Infinite Love (Dedicated To TF) <decent>

  4. Here are some more:

     

    Dimension 5 - Flow

    Solar Plexus - The Landing (Epilogue)

    Beach Buddha - Glass Voices

    Cosmosis - Afterglow

    Blue Planet Corporation - Arcana

    Hunab Ku - Wavespell

    Chi-A.D. - Sacred Vision

    Ra - Light Receiver

    KURO - Zoa 1996

    Transwave - Ulysses Voyage No. 3

    Paradise Connection - Source Of Emotion

    OOOD - Hartley\'s Ambient Jam

     

    Sorry they\'re mostly oldschools. These are some of my favorite tracks though. I\'ve tried many ambient and downtempo albums and rarely find tracks that as nice as these! Maybe it has something to do with the rest of the album too mind you. :)

  5. Hello!

     

    It seems like many trance artists (goa+psy) have the last track on their albums as downtempo or ambient.

     

    In my experience these tracks are much better than albums by artists that are fully downtempo or ambient as those tend to be so boring. It\'s also nice to have a power down track after a powerful album.

     

    To start off I will say:

     

    Jaïa - After The Rain
