This is one badass slam album and band. Really enjoying it a lot lately.

Sometimes I feel a bit sorry for members of Psynews who are not that much into Goa music, because in the end we (Goa fans) turn these topics in best Goa albums. I'm not an exception either, but I have to admit that I don't really follow other subgenres that much so I rarley can nominate something besides Goa. However, I will make the exception here and list this recently released album (available for free at Ektoplazm) really worth checking out (especially if you prefer a bit darker, more experimental and foresty psychedelic trance). Spruce - Bazel Speaking about the downtempo music, *Kanye West mode on* sorry, but Wardruna made one of the most outstanding, organic-sounding albums in recent years. *Kanye West mode off* Even it can't be considered psychedelic, it brings amazing atmosphere and primordial state of trance in the honest way adding up layers of goodness without loosing the grip or concept in whole trilogy. Favorite track: UruR Wardruna - Runaljod Ragnarok

It came out as a really nice suprise, plus it's free so win-win situation. Hopefully I'll be able to make similar list like the last year because this year also had a lot great music to offer

We, the enigmatic hierarchy, a council of divine deities. Into the prismatic realm, we tread within frozen time. Lost in this shapeless void, incubated through our creators light. Relinquished of physical forms. Submerged within the eye of the storm. Muscular tissues deteriorate, as the core of our being is released. Emancipated from the weight of creation, we're drifting through these mists of elation. The infrastructure of the prismatic abyss, veiled beneath a dimensional abscess The birthright of the nexus. I, the shadow was born from utter nothingness. Exhumed within the emptiness, alongside my brethren. I detest the scriptures of creationism. Envisioning planetary systems. Inoculated with terraformation, flourishing fields of procreation. Limitless in bounds, I know of no depths to this fixation. Yet I'm sealed within this prismatic cell, the gate of souls forever dispelled. Aeons have passed imprisoned within this immaculate hell. I only know of one way out, sacrifice my divinity formulating a mass of impurity. I, the endless night, cast thyself, a sacrament unto this life. Come forth impurity, corrupt my vanity. Wither within my cortex, infuse thyself within my being. Combust my synergy, extract its density. Acidic ecto-plasma seeps through the prismatic abyss, burning through its dimensional fabrics. Melting away the molecular barrier. The vortex between two worlds enveloped within opposite traction. Gravitational forces breached through a tear in reality. As I'm pulled towards this anomaly, leaking plasmatic impurity. Thrown unto the depths of the physical dimension. Followed by the essence of my brethren, involuntary stolen. I wake to the sound of cries and my sacrifice shining upon my soulless eyes. The sight of my brethren traumatized, as the vortex is oxidized. Creation suspended within a glow, as above so below. Within the physical realm we tread. Banished from the prismatic abyss. The price of mortality must be met. Initiate descendant manifest. <3

Flying Over The Universe In A Special Kind Of Space Kolovrat Back To Space Exodus Presence Comes to my mind

Now available at Ektoplazm too: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/ultimate-xperience-lazarus-rising

I really like how this one sounds and artwork fits very well with the music, but as Penzo pointed out, it doesn't ring a 'drone' bell. Perhaps I'm just too much into Sunn O)))'s vision of drone music and can't find the similarities.

OUT NOW! Download/support this release: http://www.neogoa.net/new-psysutra-out-now/

Final track from the EP: In case you prefer full-release format:

Yeah, so much great Goa music coming from Poland in recent days. Don't forget about JaraLuca, afaik, he is also making some new music. One more track coming tomorrow (I will leave link to YouTube here) and on Thursday (December 1st) we will have this one in FLAC/WAV and so on at Bandcamp for name your price download.

Track 1/4: Track 2/4: Happy listening

Ra - 9th is by far my favorite release published so far. Arcana and Twist Dreams are two of the releases I really enjoy everytime I hear it.

Perhaps not 100% tribal, but still offers enough of that vibe and 8/9 tracks doesn't go above 135 BPM. One of the highlights from the album:

Here - https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/72734-praktika-playing-the-presets-trance-bum-productions/ Now your post makes sense

Tracklist: 01 - Kierron Rajoilla (139 BPM) 02 - Hairahdus (140 BPM) 03 - Rahat Pois! (128 BPM) 04 - Donkey Kong (100 BPM) 05 - RooTest (146 BPM) 06 - Tuskien Taival (142 BPM) 07 - Fail Safe (139 BPM) 08 - Sea Of Mud (Mutameri Reggae) (100 BPM) Rediscovering Praktika’s lost album – Playing The PresetsWhen it comes to free releases and Creative Commons music, there is an unwritten rule that you always have to go the extra mile to get the needed attention. Many in this sport tend to fail, but some of them succeed by making their music interesting, refreshing and attention-worthy. Even it has been in release just for two days, new/old album by Finnish group Praktika (Heba and Ripa) is one of thoose releases. At the first sight, after I saw a recommendation by a friend, I experienced this release as something special. Based on the available informations, Praktika’s album Playing The Presets was made in time period between ’97-’99 and it was scheduled to be released by Exogenic Records (to some of you known by hosting names such as Kiwa, Texas Faggot or Highpersonic Whomen, to name a few) in late 1999, but due to the loss of master tapes it was postphoned till this year and (based on their promo text), apparently, with the help of aliens and Johtoääni Studios files are recovered sometime in summer of 2016. Playing The Presets comes with 8 tracks in classic Goa trance style with Suomi twist. I have to admit that I’m not an expert for this certain genre, but based on the release catalogue of Trance Bum Productions (label responsible for this release), it seems fitting and proper to give them a release slot and showcase some Goa music alongside with Suomi. So, let’s hear how does it actually sound. It kicks-off with Kierron Rajoilla track – a mid-tempo (139 BPM) Goa tune with really warm and analog vibe. At the first listen you can already feel that music comes from different era – drum patterns, swirling effects and subtile melodies are exchanging during the whole time while interesting vocals are appearing and leads you into dreamy scenario. It really brings nostalgia in best possible way and if I could guess, I would say it was made sometime around ’95 or even ’94 since it has that primitive (in absolutley postive way) structure, but hypnotic and goastatic. Truth to be told, I couldn’t figure the correct meaning of the track name, but it looks to me that is about certain cycles which makes sense. Unlike the opening track, Hairahdus starts more agressively, with more accent on rhythm and basslines. Even there is no big difference in tempo, this one gives more energy and breaks are short ‘n sweet – perfect for dancefloor gymnastic enthusiasts. I have to admit it’s not my cup of tea that much, but it will be played around for sure. Rahat Pois! is probably the reason why you will fall in love with this album. It has everything that makes Goa music so wonderful – clever arrangement and development, sharp and wicked kicks, interesting and engaging effects playing during the whole time and recognizable lead melody. It’s not the best Goa trance track out there, but for sure back in the days it would end up in thoose ‘a must have Goa’ compilations such as Goa-Head or Pulse. The moment when Goa element will become absent was expected and it happens on 4th track with interesting name – Donkey Kong. Oh, damn you nostalgia, it was such fun to play DK Country or Diddy’s Quest on SNES, I really miss thoose days, but this track actually offers something not-that much related to the game – a nice and relaxed downtempo/trip-hop fusion with some funky details and weird throat-singing in the background. It’s one of thoose tracks you would play at summer night at some bar with laid-back ambient and atmosphere. On the other hand, RooTest brings more Suomi type of sound and Praktika executes it flawlessly. Throughout the whole track something happens and it has that silly vibe, but in totally enjoyable way. Another highlight off the album is Tuskien Taival. Just like Rahat Pois! it gives plenty of Goa groove and showcases how bunch of hardware and gear can create so much noise that makes perfect sense. I never was one of the guys who puts gear ahead of ideas, but in cases like this, you just have to appriciate the skill and knowledge that has been put into making process of Tuskein Taival tune. It seems this album only can get better and better and Fail Safe is a proof. It doesn’t offer anything revolutionary but it features really outstanding melodies and perhaps the most remarkable climax on this whole record. And super-groovy bassline. Last and final track Sea Of Mud starts with slow drumming spiced up with some oriental/ethnic melodies and speeches in background. While it slowly developes, you can feel it’s one of thoose closing downtempo tracks that we got used to in the past. Don’t expect anything spectacular, even it comes with nice electric guitar melodies towards the end. Free download available at Ektoplazm. Written by Richpa.

Oh you clickbait expert. Why so little activity, sorry...Martin pic (only 1 minute at the very end - out of +7 min video)? I expect in next video to be at least 3 min of Martin pic in video. Thanks and congrats!

Not sure about you guys, but I'm having a big time troubles opening this topic from the forum index or seeing it on my mobile phone. Perhaps the reason might be that I used ( – ) instead of ( - ) in topic title. It would be sweet if mod's can replace that in topic title if it's not a problem. Anyway, here is my review for this really great release: http://www.neogoa.net/playing-the-presets-review/

At some point you're right and it's one of the reasons why I decided to introduce a different aspect of rating the certain release. If you're aiming for music only, than judging by the score it gets 8+ grade, but for me personally, as a guy who pays a lot of attention to visual side of things, I had to point out what I like or dislike. Afterall, music comes with artwork and perhaps it's not in the focus for many people or reviewers (such as mastering for example), but I don't see any reason why we shouldn't give more attention to thoose things as well. To be fair with this one, I didn't enjoyed my own take with visuals on the EP because I personally dislike that type of imagery, but since artist connects his music throught that kind of imagery, I can understand. Without being biased here, album is really good and it will be exciting to see where he will go next with his production
