    Sooo.. What happened? (2022 recap)

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    First of all, happy holidays guys, i hope you are all doing well. 😎

    Congrats to all new parents 💪💜

    I've been busy with real life (hardcore mode) for last 2 years and even we managed to put out The Purge by Lunar Dawn this year, honestly I've lost the drive for Goa music in general (yeah, The Purge isn't a Goa album), around pre-Covid pandemics.

    Recently, when it comes to psytrance, I'm more into full-on/Israeli stuff. Heck, I did a DJ set first time since 2011 this December in local club. And it was fun. 😋

    My old Facebook profile (with shitload of contacts around the globe) is passe for some time now, so I'm thinking about getting rid of this incognito one too. I'm getting old, and it's not like it was back in the heydays of early goa-groups and pages. 

    Besides that, i'm enjoying some weird trap music too, extreme metal as usual and spending my time on NBA fantasy apps.

    Funny thing, this might be the first post ever on Psynews that I posted from mobile phone. Weird times.

    Overall, still checking Psynews when I can, not the music that much, but always happy to see some old-farts around here.

    Take care guys 🤘💜

    Thank you all for kind words and feedback! ^_^

    Regarding the graphic design, I don't have any plans to work on it again. Most of my unpublished creations will probably end up on my wall and I really don't have that much of time to spend working on anything new. However,

    I have Chaosphere design (it was supposed to be front artwork for unfinished Dimensional Gateway 6 V/A), but since it won't happen, I'm willing to give it to artist/label for free, but it has to be in it's original shape and form (text can be added by artist or label, but no graphic editing, that is the only term I have).

    Take care guys,

    Ivan

    Gosh, this is really hard.

    Honestly it's just hard to start this post, after all these years. But, I have to do this.

    First of all, thank you ALL. Human love, creativity, support and passion is what makes difference in life. Without these 'ingredients' this label and it's family itself wouldn't exist (trust me, I don't want to sound like cheap-version of Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious saga) but indeed I've felt during the last decade that it was some kind of family-thing happening during the hard times and it was indeed an intact sanctuary, at least in virutal realms, to some of us.

    Also, I was critical about many things related to the Goa scene in general, sometimes with, but also many times without any given reason. That's what you do when you love something. You want to make it better, but sometimes you can't do it just by pointing out the finger at something without looking at yourself.

    There is like over 300 people that I should thank for making Neogoa Records happen and become what it is/was. I don't plan to do that, you know who you are and you know that I love you all! I want to take time and thank all the people who decide to give their time (and time it self is the most valuable resource) to hear/feel/dance/make love by listening to the music of our label house and artists. That's what matters the most, at least to me.

    My time on this scene has come to it's end. There are many reasons why I made this decision - most of them are related to the private (or, as some call it real-life) matters/reasons. But in the end I feel obligated to be honest and say that I've lost the same drive and energy like I had it back in the early days of the label. Not sure why and honestly, I really don't care to explain it. It just happened.

    I will also continue to support and enrich the DIY, underground scene, no matter in what form, shape, type or format it comes out in the end. Without healthy underground scene, you can't have the mainstream.

    All social network profiles of the label will be active, the official website/e-mail host will be active till August 2021.

    At the end I just want to say what great ride it was! I was blessed to be a small fragment of it.

    Thank you for that! Stay cool, love you all!

    Political Albums

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Ummm, I believe this one is among few that got strong political subjects as well featured in track names or the artwork (see Discogs images). Oh and line-up got some really outstanding names featured: Xenomorph, Parasense, Neuromotor, to name a few. In general, Russian and Greek labels had in mid '00s some neato compilations, especially if you dig more darker psytrance music.

    Okay, so I talked with Frode and Igor and everything is okay on their side, especially with the mastering. Issue might be the fact that manufacturer probably did the normalisation/RMS during the burning process so Intro and Outro do sound louder compared to trance tracks on the album. I will see what I can do to prevent this kind of situations and have some talks with the manufacturer as well. Appologies from my own and Neogoa side regarding this matter, we did everything we could to deliver top-notch release, so you can have great listening experience, especially when it comes to proper mastering. We did this drill many many times and we never had any problems. However, I always advice anyone to have the digital version from the Bandcamp instead of ripping any medium, it's the best version you can have and it always comes alongside with the physical.

    Take care

    Got the CDr about 2 weeks ago, but only this weekend I got around to actually ripping it. I noticed that the audio content is not the same in the Bandcamp download and on the CDr.
    On the CDr, the first and last tracks are louder (track 1 by about +1.7 dB, track 10 about +1 dB), and the other tracks are randomly quieter by around 2-3 dB. See the image here (upper is Bandcamp, lower is CDr) https://imgur.com/dwHcBsb

    Is this intentional, or a mistake?

    Nice album, nonetheless :)

    I'm gonna check with the guys, thanks for reporting it and for checking the release.

    Take care
