Is it ok on Isratrance to post dreadful review? By dreadful, you mean devastating, negative ones or just dreadful like typing 10 times "awesome" for selling a cd According to the case, i know they fully agree with, for the other they could be a lil reluctant

The cover art is very funny & genuine :clapping:

Ok i'll start with those who have been already quoted in the topic & are probably the most famous artist in the genre: The Infinity Project - Mystical Experiences Shpongle - Are You Shpongled ? Entheogenic - Entheogenic i mention the 1st one as its the debut one but indeed i could have choosen too the remix album or their second opus too. Ott - Hallucinogen in Dub Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden Total Eclipse - Violent Relaxation Mainly the second cd of course, even i'm not fond of all tunes but the first 4 ones plus Blue Galaxie at the end of 1st cd are quite amazing! Now let's continue with a bit less known projects : Galaxy - Science Of Ecstasy the Boris Blenn Chill side, this album was on Chillcode Taruna - World Fusion exotic & warm coloured psychill released on S.S.T Abakus - That Much Closer to the sun Liquid Stranger - The Invisible Conquest The project of a former Necton member which was always connected & inspired, influenced with Dub even in his Necton's tune, released on Interchill. Chilling Matenda - Mediteran I remember peple were quite shared about it, but i consider the album name caracterizes correctly what Denis wanted to do here musically & even for some it's too loungy or housey sounding, i found it out quite genuine for the style :clapping: ; released on Global Phonehead records (Matenda's own label). Kick Bong - A Cup of Tea? One of the few french genuine chill producer, this one is his debut album on Ultra Vista, sounding darker to the psychill norm. Human Blue - Diskovery Channel Wasn't amazed at first when listening, it only grows on me much later on with time...released on Chillcode. Kaya Project - & so it goes It's probable he's done other or better chill album before this one, but i'm fond of the electic influenced direction taken here, very acoustic also, released on Interchill. Kuba - How The future Sounded With Kuba , honestly i've heard some cheesy stuffs from the guy on compilations & was quite suspicious about how he could cook a good album... This one is pretty ok for me :posford: I finish with Ganja Beats - Paradise & Tranquility released on Organic, this one is a bit special for me as Jake Stephenson passed out soon after the release. I was sad coz the artist never benefits of a big notoriety despite some good tracks he produced by the past including Indiggo Egg's collaboration. And strangely for this chil-dub emotionnal album, very good for me, it was the same, very few feedback all over the boards... EDIT Not sure it's fully considered as psy chill never mind, i think back to Jens Buchert with his down tempo release on Plusquam Fruit Machine which was quality material :clapping:

I didn't take a look by here, nice to have some news from Children & it's funny to see old pics in her goa period from Lass 22 Indeed retrospectively from what i remembered of the last posts at that time from Children, they were nearly all in the off topic section, all focused about a girl he had met recently :clapping: , so all seems quite logical today about his sudden vanishment

it sounds like Depeche Mode

Each one his taste Indeed my favourite Bonzaï tune isn't well known it's BWP Experiments - Feel House of E, somehow sort of acid dark ambient technoïd, not the usual Bonzaï sounding for sure :clapping: Otherwise (excepting already quoted Montini II-Astrosym), from Bonzaï i dig on: - Blue Alphabet - Cybertrance, - Yves Deruyter - Calling Earth (2002 remix) - Dj Francky Jones - Overwhelming Rain - Groove Park - Hit The bang - Hitch Hiker & Dumont - A New Dimension - Axis - Come On & of course Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth

That's a crucial point. Since 3 years, the number of releases haven't decrease, there's new labels created appearing from numerous & various geographic places. In the same time, sales didn't raised. Worse, some years ago most of interesting productions & even the other ones were reviewed more or less quickly. Today even some established labels, have difficulties to get feedbacks on the trance boards & get some kind of coverage for their work which are always interesting & constructive, in order to see the eventual gap between what the label & artist(s) think have done & how people perceived it. When you check the "request a review " thread here or on Isratrance , you've got the same idea that people are demanding, & most of time they don't get results...

Indeed a good psytrance stuff should be story stelling all by itself without any help of any substances, according to me . Somehow music is the tool :posford:

you can check some french group like Hilight Tribe or Secret Vibes they're producing 'natural trance', there's lot of acoustic instrument & percussions. There's some highly hypnotic tunes from Jess M - Digidelica which plays didgerdoo, i remember the track coitus which was sounding highly tribal trance.

Juno Reactor has worked a lot with south african drummers, so check their album such as Bible Of Dreams, Labyrinth .

Definitively a too much not enough rated artist : Liquid Stranger - The Invisible Conquest http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=55298 nobody mentions it yet, Abakus - That Much Closer To The Sun It was referred to Saafi bros , i think, so you can check also Gabriel Le mar on his own & under Dub Connected projected :clapping:

Like some techno artists which evolves to new spheres (Rob Babicz aka Rob acid), it's always strange to see those old name getting re-fashion nowadays Bodzin for me will eternally be Caunos (96) with Hunteman => I think Hunteman in solo got the same notoriety today too, this one was even producer of hardtrance, acidtrance at the time (96). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5X4lYea91Y

I'm surprised by the numerous home cats answers here probably the topic is just a bit young & things will evolve nevertheless i'm a house cat too coz there's very few parties in my town (not say none) & i enjoy more the outdoor concept otherwise.

Yerg with all your recent post on Slub, i searched my Lose your shell cd to re-listen to it, it's a long time i didn't play it

Unfortunately i have to agree with you , the economical context isn't marvellous & so many goa release coming out so close from to the others, this niche market seems to be really saturated currently according to its potential capacity. Or at least i wish for them all it's the sign of a goa period rebirth, let's see, future will tell us...

I agree Slug is probably the most under estimated South African atist we've got whereas he's got without doubt at the same time the SA trademarks & an apart soundscape hitting radically with his colleagues.

Interesting post about the Japanese scene. As said Late concerning labels excepting 6 Dimension soundz which is still alive, the others aren't healthy or stopped their activities , i mean Groove-Zone, Solstice Japan, Elf Music. Don't know too much how is going S.S.J, seems they weren't very active these last years too. I also think about Tod Aqurius rec but it was a quite small entity with few releases & isn't really representative of the Japanese scene; btw no news since the Chamar's album.

indeed Gataka is Matan Kadosh (older member) & Ferbi Boys (Aviram Saharai & Itai Spector). assaf Spector, i guess the brother of Itai Spector made one tune on SST under "Respector", the style is similar to Ferbi Boys perhaps even more techno btw i just remind Sesto Sento released an EP on SST "The year 83" which sounds more Ferbi Boys than normal Sesto Sento, it also appears on v/A Mamon The Dark Star same as Respector's tune.

I enjoy their 2 first albums "The Inner Light" more groovy-proggy perhaps & 'The Bright side' more full on, then i stopped listening to their productions. My first musical encounter with the band was their first track to be released : Soap Bubble" on a v/A from USTA "New Frontiers". I advice to discover them in the order of releasing 1) Soap Bubble track released on V:A New Frontiers from USTA 2) The Inner Light album on Com.pact 3)The Bright Side album on Com.pact Otherwise (excepting the previously quoted), my favourites Sesto's tunes are: -Sesto Sento vs Lish - Tuna (sometimes credited Tanua) on Final Fantasy/Com.pact -Sesto Sento vs intergalactic - Smooth on Cosmopolite/Com.pact -Sesto Sento - Sestosentos (Star X remix) on Natural Waves of Sound/Com.pact -Sesto Sentos - Sabastel Tunnels (Lish Remix) & Lish - Brain Rush (Ferbi Boys* remix) both on Airgate/Com.pact *Ferbi Boys is normally just one third of Sesto sento but here according to the credits, the 3 guys were together for the remix... Ferbi Boys project is more techno influenced. Also "Blue Leprechauns" on eponymous compilation/Com.pact

It's the first time i read 'rad' & didn't find any explanation or translation , that's why i was asking about radhus which is a Swedish word.

rad... you mean radhus ? & consequently the difference between English, Swedish & Spanish languages codes compared to French ones ?
