Very nice artwork, I really like the clean and minimalistic composition. Just a minor detail (in case you haven't sent the artwork to the Ektoplazm distribution), the moon hasn't been cutted well with the pen tool (or eraser tool in this case), it goes over the hill-layer. I made the example (with my correction) in case you haven't noticed (I hope you don't mind)

Thank you Ward for your feedback!

There is actually 4 metal bands named Triglav, all from fellow Slavic countries, since Triglav itself has an important place and meaning in our native faith. Thank you for the review Mike and of course thank you for being supportive since the first physical release. Due to the fact that I've been deeply involved into making of Triglav from the conceptual point of view, I'm happy it invokes that indo-european vibe, unlike most of nowdays Goa trance music. The approach towards the melodies and it's structure was crucial point and it feels great to see that some people are slowly recognizing the difference between authentic ethno/folklore sound from certain area and highly popular oriental/phyrgian scales dominating Goa music. However, Prav as a stand-alone track here is the only one that doesn't have any ethnic elements and it somehow sounds different than previous tracks from Triglav (and Kolovrat as well), that being said I'm happy it took different route, aiming the less-melodic type of psychedelia with more eclectic and progressive arrangement. Speaking about the remixes, I'm glad you recognized the BOTFB vibe in Dragon Twins, probably the most underrated remix, but for me personally one of the best tracks on whole release.

At some point it feels like Los Galacticos era of Real Madrid - trying to be the best (based on the rooster/squad) but without any team-spirit or distinctive/recognizable gameplay.

I've been huge Wardruna fan way before they were popularized by Vikings and for me personally this music shouldn't be ruined by any kind of remixes or something, no matter the genre. It is already unique and wonderful.

Yeah, this season was full of suprises in Premiership. I'm also happy to see West Ham doing well this season

Well domestic season is already over for me, only Primera might bring some changes at the top if Barcelona fails in last game

Yes, I liked this release.

I feel happy that I can go to nature and explore it anytime I want since I'm not living in big city. However, this is interesting question and I never actually was a type of person who got some big urge to travel around, so probably I would give my best to spend these 6 months with close people in my life, to share some final moments with them

We're not marketing this relaese as the return of old UX. As some of you already noticed and pointed out, this is evolution of Ultimate Xperience and it's sound and vision. If you're nostalgic like Psychedelic Alien or you're expeciting recycled sound or creations from 90's, you can always get back to the old UX releases and skip this one. However, Kris and I invites you to give us a chance to fully present the new music and new art in best possible form and audio-visual quality, since Lazarus Rising really deserves it. Probably some other labels would PR this release as a grand-return of UX and it's sound, but we're not doing this, in honest way we're communicating about the music and we will give you music for free and if you like it you will already find the way to support work of Kris and Neogoa. It's 2016 already, and Goa trance music is shaping in many beautiful ways and honestly I think this release will give it's part and input, especially in terms of top class production, remarkable moments and musical diversity tipical for Kris, ranging from proto-Goa and industrial influences towards more trance and tribal elemets, spiced up with cinematic build-ups and cyber psychedelia. You can expect the official samples on our SoundCloud page very soon and I will make sure to post them right here alongside with all other interesting details for Lazarus Rising.

On May 21st, Kris will test and promote Lazarus Rising at the Alternative Nature Festival pre-party (with PsiloCybian, Lunar Dawn and Stevo) so it wil be a great opportunity to experience the new material on the dancefloor, especially the other tracks since they're a little bit more energetic

Can you please elaborate why it shouldn't be compared to CW, since I've heard TCOTM and you (and your distributors) published samples online? It's vital for Goa trance survival.

I was talking in general Yes I remember we discussed this earlier, that's why I made a remark with Kolovrat

I guess there are few people here who are planning to watch the upcoming Euro in France. All you need to know can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016 To make the topic interesting, let's throw some predictions for semi-finals and finals. My favorites for finals are France and Germany, but I wouldn't be suprised to see England in finals as well, they got young and very talented team and for a long time they haven't made any good results on big tournaments. As always, you can't exclude Italy, they're hit or miss, and if they gonna be inspired as they know, they might go far in the competition. Spain is strong, but far form their best days, so I think they won't make any big impact on this tournament. Belgium got probably the best team based on the single names, but so many super-stars doesn't always make a great team. However, it's different format of competition and a lot of games ahead so I hope we will experience great football. Darkhorses: Switzerland, Croatia, Turkey and Portugal, all teams can make suprises, but I'm not expecting any of them to go to semi-finals.

I would love to see that happen, but I haven't recieved any kind of collaboration material so far. Even tho, I gave a lot of points to Xenofish submission for Psynews compilation on voting topic. That guy really rocks!

All CD's are now on the way to their new owners. Please, if you don't recieve your copy within 2-3 weeks or somehow get a damaged product, make sure to report it to us here or via private channels. Thank you

At some point I have to disagree with you on this one Mirza. I don't mix creative aspect with technical aspect. Nowdays, when we're all blessed with available technology, knowledge, informations, I don't see any reason to be lazy and not to put some additional time into improving the quality of your own (product)ion. I mean, there is a bunch of people out there who are willing to save their money just for the sake of buying a ticket for a show/party or purchasing your album. You don't want to deliver just 'an idea'. That thinking sounds to me like kvlt-black metal bands who are, you know...just throwing out some ideas without giving any single fuck to actually learn how to mix their own instruments. I'm not a hater and I've been into this kind of stuff enough to recognize how much time, money and 'giving a fuck' someone puts into his own music. There is a thin line between 'soundling raw and oldshool' and 'being lazy'. We, at Neogoa published a lot of music withouth paying additional attention towards thoose aspects and even we're doing this for free, it bothers me each time when I see someone isn't happy with soundquality. That means that we're not doing enough and most of the time, the main issue is related to artist directly, even mastering is the same on different releases Why is this happening? Well, truth to be told, most of the artists nowdays are expecting that mastering studio will somehow make their music sound uber-awesome, but most of them (and yes, this is related to 80% of Goa trance artists producing and making music nowdays), don't know how to prepare proper mixdown of their own tracks. I mean, if you want to release and share something to the public, and you're expecing some live-shows/gigs, eventual physical release, fame?, promotion by label/radio shows/YouTube uploaders/reviewers/DJ's, etc. at least spend some time learning basics and how to PREPARE your own music for the mastering studio. And this doesn't have anything with hardware or software, in the end, same machine is capturing the sounds and you're mixing it on your DAW before the actual export. The issue here is that most of the artists nowdays are trying to be a rock-superstars, but most of them can't play anything besides some basic oriental-phyrgian-scales at their synth, but they're expecting that someone makes wonders out of their low-quality mixdowns and in the end to recieve Dickster-kind pumping final masters so they can show off in front of the crowd. This isn't about someone being creative or talented, this is about someone being lazy and not caring about his work and music enough. I shared PsiloCybian tutorials because I'm very much familiar with his work, not only as a producer, but as a guy who is fully dedicated into music-production and he actually is putting shitload of his free time to share a knowledge and deliver it in user-friendly form...and it's all based on vast experience in fields of serious music production, audio-geekism, collaborative work with biggest names on psychedelic trance scene nowdays and a lot of feedback that he collected - from smallest venues to the biggest psytrance festivals. You remember how Kolovrat sounded before he put his fingers on to it? If you do, I think I don't need to explain any further my point. In the end, we all admire, recognize and like the originality, creative and refreshing new things that are happening in Goa trance scene now and than, but without any hesitation, we all should be critical when it comes to sound quality for the sake and benefit of our own scene. And yes, I'm against the loud, only dance-floor oriented mastering because CI was beautiful music ruined by harsh and loud mastering without any subtile and gentle touch. It's funny because it's melodic Goa trance and that kind of music actually needs more fluid, dynamic approach instead of being...well...just loud mess in the end. But, in the end the label and artist got the seal of approvement and if they were happy, I guess we shouldn't just like that jump and bash mastering studios P.S. - It might not be a bad idea, but moderator could split this discussion into a new topic if we went out of control P.S.S. - Let's assume that average Goa producer get's somewhere between 100-400 EUR per average gig, (and that's optimistic assumption), some of fellas who are active here can get even a lot more. Giving (let's say) 50$ for a 10-hour long tutorial I see as an healthy investment into your own work/knowledge, just like buying gear. There is so much other useful tutorials (our chap courses) that you can get, but hey...it's easier to be a ''rock-superstar'' and blame mastering studio when someone dares to say something against your music and how does it sound

No, I wouldn't love to see them doing that kind of music truth to be told, but 6-hour long tut about mixing might be helpful I've heard new Imba material last month and I was happy how it sounds and truth to be told he improved a lot since he started to pay attention towards mixing (especially because I know that he likes Psilo's kickdrums) Without being biased, Saša is one of the best dudes around when it comes to proper mixing and his tutorials are very useful for anyone who wants to bring the best possible quality out of your own music (sound-wise), oh and his live is a true sonic experience when it comes to sound-quality.

*cough-cough*

Nope, we're not re-releasing any material published on any platform or on his website. I think I already explained this on my Facebook page

Thanks for the input Ankur, especially because you're not the only one who expressed the concerns regarding that version and since we're planning to make a major improvement in terms of mix and master for the reissue digipak version and invest the big chunk of income from the previous releases for that one in best hopes to bring the stellar Morphic Resonance audio-product by the people - for the people.

After I recieved a lot of new and old material from Lars, instead of releasing one album, he will present an unique storyline through three albums on our label, ranging from darker Goa trance to psychedelic drum'n'bass, cinematic ambient and downtempo music. I hope all Cybernetika fans will be happy with the new material, as I was when I heard it for the first time Full annoucement with all details for each album will follow in the upcoming months!
