New E-Mantra uptempo album is here and in case you enjoyed Arcana (one of my favorite 2nd wave Goa albums all-time), Stapanii Timpului is the right thing for you. As it was case with Arcana, new record also got strong storytelling aspect, crisp sound design and trademark E-Mantra atmospheres enriched with plenty of acidic sounds which makes it perfect material for night time stomping on the dancefloor. Favorite track: At the Foothills of Kogaion

Purchased!

If you say that something killed certain thing, does that mean: a) It killed it because it's better, or b) It killed it because Goa music became stale, or c) something else happened I'm interested to see what do you guys think. I'm not leaning towards neither one, but personally I believe certain things started to happen in the right moment and it's one of the reasons why classical Goa music was pushed out from the focus.

It's been a long time since the last time we had old vs. new debate here on Psynews

I hope you will re-activate UAF at some point in the future

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it

Last time I spoke with Lars it was after the release of Dimensional Gateway 4 compilation (March, 2017). Indeed, we agreed to release Cybernetika album trilogy on Neogoa Records, but since than we didn't have any contact. I still have most of the tracks from that Cybernetika Goa-trilogy and I hope he will get back online so we can get things rolling.

I've heard sad news today and I'm kinda speechless. Dennis was indeed creative force within modern psychedelic trance dance music and one of the few who managed to establish himself as innovative forward-thinking musician who shaped and defined this genre of music on so many levels. Back in February 2017 I had a privilege to meet him briefly and he gave me impression of being humble and friendly person. For sure this is a huge loss for all of us. My condolences to his friends and family. Rest in peace!

Thanks for reminder, whole time I got in my mind their back-catalogue being published on Ektoplazm and on Bandcamp!

UT 01 - V/A - Dimensional Gateway 4 [Neogoa Records] 02 - GoaTree - Black Star Of The Death [Neogoa Records] 03 - V/A - Dimensional Gateway 5 [Neogoa Records] 04 - V/A - BGF Chronicles [Neogoa Records] 05 - V/A - Phases Of Madness [Goa Madness Records] 06 - V/A - Terraformer [Global Sect Music] 07 - V/A - 604 Syndroms [Mamomam Records] 08 - V/A - Fluorotronik [Tranceform Records] 09 - JaraLuca - Fata Morgana [Goa Madness Records] 10 - Rayavana - Exit Human Perception [Neogoa Records] DT - Are we counting re-issues (asking so I can adjust my own list)?

Am I the only one who thinks this release got strong influences in late Posford (uptempo) works and M.E.E.O.? Not all the tracks of course, some are more Goa-friendly, but overall vibe is in that vein.

Try Zolphinia (in case you missed it):

To confuse you even more: Kristijan is in Unknownium, with Saša, but he is also in Lunar Dawn, with Saša.

Out of this world production, perfect arrangement and interesting combination of sounds and styles. It will be one of the best albums released this year. Great review btw!

Hell no! As a matter of fact, I'm supporting everything that goes out of the 'goa-safe zone'.
