I got 2 easy as you like Avigmatic rec you should take V/A Positive Alchemists vol 3 & same for Melicia with his debut album Running out of time. Otherwise you could try Otokoppler - Replugged & also Astrix - Eye to Eye

I agree but all the Morpheus review posts are quite lazy from this point not to say more about their content to keep polite

If X-Dream should be blame for one of their album, it wouldn't be Radio but i'd rather say about "we interface" but it's another debate...

Experimental is certainly not the best adjective going with Psytrance nevertheless you could check Sci Forest - Fetish Box ( 6 dimension soundz) among other possibilities already given previously

X-dream has never been a real Goa band, check their first tunes, check the history discography of Tunnel records... X-dream at first was an over the norm creative kinda hardtrance band due to his presence on Tunnel rec. (re-listen Children of the last Generation, Zebra, Trip to Trancesylvania) then little by little they get closer to the the psy scene & "Radio" was one of this perfect example just by bein licensing on mythic uk Blue Room label. The second thing is that quite quickly Marcus Maichel has incorpored his dark, minimal,tech desire directions inside the X-Dream stuffs & obviously, their sound definitively evolves less harmonic & melodic for more stomper, roouger sounds with this album.

I've discovered recently some sort of soft dark prog , kinda night /dark Vibrasphere to me indeed it's Timedrained => http://www.myspace.com/timedrained

Thanks for this "au revoir gift" Ps: currently downloading (not very quickly) but in progress, works for me edit:dl stopped at 126 mb too ...

i agree too ... but for Tri-Force Elf Music didn't release anything since 2006 Concerning Sci Forest, i doubt the standard fans of suomi have dug fully his album unfortunately probably too experimental for the psy norm . It's a pity coz it's one those rare artist from Japan like Theoreme bringing some typical high extreme energy in their music which i admit goes with different styles in both cases.

+1 did his Par-2 own label bankrupts ? or something else? This situation draws more generally the attention on how is fragile this scene economically. When i see the Cloudcycle'blog where Mauxuam & Greg Hunter are more than happy to discover that at least someone start to airplayon a radio their new conceptual music & even that a digital store is interested in selling their for now, free stuffs, it's quite intriguing to me, how low situated should be the psy musical market market... Sad, he even deleted his myspace account, coz was having one isn't it ?

Chamar - Chamaring vol.1 (Tod Aquarium rec 006)

Yep motorbike's accident in India (Goa ?) during holidays ...

At some time i think Silicon Sound was perhaps hoping doing something in chill as he went running several projects "Altitudes' , "Even 11" with Yannis formerly Jaïa but none of them has really emerged ... Few chances here, as James Monro has evolved since => http://www.myspace.com/djjamesmonro Don't know what happened to Matt Evans btw, he was originally drummer i think.

the add-on

Concerning Silicon Sound his situation is more than strange , indeed it's one of the most acclaimed French artist although the second album never happened & don't know if it'll one day. His debut album was released on Moon Spirits if i'm not mistaken but this sympathic French label has passed out due the rip of its distributor(Cosmophilia). I mean the guy has been licensed a lot with full of single tunes released on so many v/a from different labels that could results as an opportunist situation (as he was considered as Top Name selling), that's just my own interpretation, no clue or proof of that of course. Btw i think he has done a compilation for Neurobiotic (more globally i believe it's the label from which he's the most attached now) quite lately otherwise he's quite involved in Mastering services for psy labels.

it's interesting, so actually when a label rip, the artist gets back on the propriety of his creation. Btw this Thomas appears like having raptor's behaviour not to say scavenger .

Have put an ear on it unfortunately must be quite recent full on for major part , i don't know anything on the end sounds more South African style nevertheless for my curiosity & culture would appreciate too to have some names especially the first half of the set :posford:

I remember reading Ux myspace or perhaps Kris Kylven one telling something was prepared under the Ux project to be done nowadays but no news since... Cydonia hum seems the members change their musical directions better see this : http://www.myspace.com/steveronan http://www.myspace.com/dinopsarasmusic Slide has made prog with Cass , have lost interest to my ears since then... Seems you're true 4cn is only doing mastering & professional purposes which are certainly more lucrative than running Aurinko as a label or releasing new stuffs ...

Quite strangely there's a French artist which made a recent debut album quite in this style it's Noisy Pipes & gets very few feedbacks whereas i consider he produced honest tracks So i don't know if people don't like the album, are not connected with his sound or just don't know the existence of the release ... But you should try some samples at least http://www.myspace.com/noisypipesNoisy Pipes - Out of sync with this world

Yep i confirm you the guy must be Thomas Vitali coz some years ago i've got a guy from Psytropic asking me on Isratrance to make reviews for his label releases Psytropic, & he presented himself as "Thomas Vitali headlabel of Psytropic rec". I remember perfectly that at this time, already all the Psynina rumours crap were existing & btw declined his offer as it wasn't matching my taste furthermore ...

What a news. Plusquam & Midijum used to be respectable progressive labels, furthermore Plusquam was at first, just the sub label progressive division of Spirit Zone, later bought by someone of the sub label i think( forgot his name... dj Laureth ?). Same Midijum was held by Dj Bim also involved in Com.pact i think. I'd like to understand how it's possible but seems true. Because Psytropic has always appeared to me as quite small label thingy with few releases (not especially milestones) & some connections with Trancelucent if i remember well. So this Vitali must be naturally a rich guy? A very prolific label from Danemark with artists sometimes appearing on weird v/A from ZYX, but with some good tunes from time to time, were oftenly sounding to me such as kinda cover names of famous Goa artists whereas it was nearly the same 4-5 same artists.

Yep agree 2009 is year for chill releases so far & doesn't seem to stop. The free concept Cloudcycle of Mauxuam & Greg Hunter =>http://cloudcycle.net/log/ :clapping: :posford: The Free Abakus album Jaguard session. Side Liner - Crying Cities (Cosmicleaf) D Batistatos - Weeper On The Shore (Cosmicleaf) V/A One Dub (Interchill) The New Liquid Stranger scheduled for this autumn too Sooner (end of june normally) the first chill v/A Sonic Atmosphere from Sonic Motion rec with many french newcomers.

Tracklisting: 1 Disco Doctor (5:53) 2 Fishermans Symphony (3:06) 3 Follow The Sardines (6:19) 4 Birth Of Wainamoinen Vs. Tim Lundblad On Drums (4:59) Drums - Tim Lundblad 5 Gongo Party (3:57) 6 Un Question Du Pop (4:49) 7 Ajattara (3:39) 8 Zemel Dance (8:54) 9 Ziko (9:20) 10 Witch Protector (8:22) Hidden Track (0:52) Troll Scientists is composed of a Finnish duo : Jani Inkeroinen & Staffan Ström. This is their second opus, the first Useless Science was released 2 years ago (2007) released on Space Boogie Productions. Get ready for the visit, don't forget your cap to protect your head, the sun is hitting hard, here we go... 1 => From the start we've got a good idea from what to expect all along the album, as it begins heavily in few seconds. Actually, after a very swift intro that could let you imagine you gonna have some chill... then Bing Badabooum ! Some exotic flute are near announcing the real matter, a pure dance floor stomper. It's noticeable from that point, the production 's differences between casual Suomisound (or past ones) & this one: the sound is crystal clearer, apparently less rough through the bank tones, but more diversified in its construction. We kept some Sumisound trademarks with the multi layered invasion for example & the melodic raving touch of course. Less usual for Suomi style, lots of variation with effects like filter; or right-left balance. 2 => Time for Violin's symphony, indeed up to 0'45 nevertheless i was thinking it'll continue like this all long but no...Some craziness is scheduled for soon, it evolves into the same symphonic harmony accompanied with a break beat rhythmic for short. Then mutes again into a somehow accelerated twisted Latino dance rhythm (Bossa ?) which results very entertaining & funny , very intense too. 3 => Troll Scientists are good expert with playing tricks with sounds & samples, best proof with this beautiful intro. I was convinced, listening to Follow The Sardines for the 1st time, that my cd was scratched as the cd seems to skate ... Otherwise the sounds are crispier, more tense, shrill ; could be a Prodigy's tune or Big Beat stuff at this moment. Like Often, lots of change in a single track, in 2 steps : here it occurs between 2'00 & 2'30. The tune gets groovier & spacier, a very lil Funky influenced. 4 => Starts with a guy incanting or praying, after we received some electrified & rocking Funk. Another quite weird alchemy cooked by our Finnish guys as they, later, couples it with Oriental background (sitar, oriental woman voice ...). How incredible it appears, this mixture works, it's successful. 5 =>It goes on here with at first plan Oriental sounds but once again mixed with what i think have recognize as Flamenco rhythmic (acoustic guitar also is played). It's fucking weird, actually it's like they succeed in playing in Flamenco mode some Oriental melodies..! 6 => Here's an exercise of style in a "slow motion' mode with strong twisted & hypnotic feelings, apart from that you'll get some rumbling bass & crispy tones too. It's a lot more experimental & freestyle, at the opposite of all previous tunes up to now. The presence of the muted of voice has a major impact on the track, sounds like a ghost personification in an ancestral Scottish castle. 7 => Haha, they put some Bandoneon as main lead melodic, at first sounds quite classic then moves into melo feelings, it confers a very nice atmosphere, a climax for me. Warning, it's possible here again, to catch one subliminal oriental instrument in guise of break (who said Sitar in the room ?). 8 => The musical background is quite Disco (at least the bass line) married with some bongos (at beginning of the track at least) whereas the melodic lead is typical Suomisounding. The aim is very dance floor oriented here without any doubt. On the end the melodic part could resonates more old school Goa influenced (after 6"00) then Funkier. 9 => Let's get ready for some mischievous atmosphere, sort of kiddies old school platform video game . Ziko moves shortly to acidic psychedelic parts, keeping the initial feeling though, quickly only remains the soft kiddies psychedelic elements. Suddenly the song changes, like in old videos game when you penetrates a house or exit a place & so the sound accompanies your moves, i've got an exploring my walk speed impress at that moment, or more classicly saying Forest Trance sounding. The end could also be perceived as an old final Boss confrontation,as it turns more Epic & twirling. 10 => Sir Eel ends up with a faster & darker track (almost apocalyptic), highly shrill with a hint of Medieval impress (perhaps due to the Jump galloping rhythmic). It's somewhere between The Misted Muppets for the high energy medieval style & Oforia through his old darker , aggressive & sometimes fast Goa productions like Maximiser, Why not on Mars or some projects Tandu - Alien Pump, Pigs in Space - Solar. There's a little bonus, without spoiling too much, i just wanna say it reminds me some Hardcore Bonzaï stuffs (Famous Belgian label from the 90's known for its rave more or less extreme or commercial sounds). SUM UP => With Sir Eel, they try to reinvent or create an evolution of the usual Suomisound, the Suomisound v2.0 somehow. So, if you're expecting a following of their début album here, you'll be a bit disappointed i think whereas you're a great afficionados of new explorations musical alchemies territories, you've got great chance to be amazed !

For darker, colder goa sounds, yes there's the track from Mfg - Why? I think also about some Oforia's tunes => Why Not On Mars, Maximiser btw check also his good other projects such as Pigs in Space with Solar, Visitors & of course Tandu - Alien Pump (original or remix) Elixir - Spiral 3 (remix) Quirk - Ping Slide - Alien Hitmen The darker more rough project of Boris Blenn : Jupiter 8000 with Jupiter 8000 & Saturn tunes, goog both but first really excellent in the style. Otherwise Electric Universe - Flashback Jaïa - Time Machine MOS - Live Tropical Fish Element - Coldcut COP (Children of Paradise (Jan Muller from X-Dream with Ganguru from France) , check their album Urban Alien or tracks like Bloodsuckers, Fairy in the dragoon forest, El niño, Troll... Close to that there's California Sunshine (ft X-Dream) - X-Wave Phoetus (Tarsis with dj Dede) - Groovy Symptomes Sonic Fusion - Robots round my coc Shakta -Betwwen worlds Nucleus - Dark Horse => excellent track, Nucleus a not too much known uk project Astrnomikx - After Life Lotus Omega - Lighthouse & why not Sun Project - Computer Breath, Slap - Total (remix) & even Johan Bley - Move your body (original & xdream remix) LAST but not LEAST Ravebase - Electeaser a must have in the cybderdelic goa genre.

don't know mate, sometimes internet is normal & by time weird, slow, broken. It's quite a mystery
