E-Mantra is the best track there for sure!

I've heard lots of his stuff and I wasn't blown away by it. Never. Actually we are talking about this music in general, not only Tiesto, but PvD, Armin van Buuren, ...and I must say I liked PvD, I was 15 maybe. But when I grew up I understood that this is the most commercial dance-music. It's created to gather thousands of different people that can have fun, take ecstacy and enjoy these tunes from the first listen - catchy melodic sounds, star dj's, numbers of lasers, etc. IMO, this music lacks soul and spirit, but psytrance doesn't (and I'm not talking about shit, I'm talking about a hundred classic albums out there). ...and what does it take to create a tiesto-trance-like track - Dance E-Jay? Have you ever questioned yourself why there are so many trance-producers and so few people that know them? Everything you know are the StarDJs And this gay shit... I don't find this to be childish at all. If FP says gaytrance, he means trance but a bit different, trance that has nothing to do with trance. And it doesn't say anything about these people because most people I know would act this way. Didn't want to offend you, sorry, but come on... Tiesto? UPD: Not very nice of you to edit your comment and delet few lines. Shame on you!

I can't name any single russian project that I listen to these days. 95% is evil dark fukcing-your-brains kind of music And russian psy-scene is just like that + Astrix fan clubs. So I ignore all these deja vus... =)))

Asia 2001 - Amnesia 2CD - Avatar Rec. Remastered + Unreleased Tracks. Nystagmus - The Immaculate Perception - SunDance Rec. Very melodic and twisted! Recommended! Mr Peculiar - Mind-Dala - Sonic Dragon Rec. Nice full-on. VA - Moon Unit - Apoxina Rec. Darker side, but still psychedelic! Neuron Compost, Grapes of Wrath and Cosmo included. Para Halu - The World Of Peace - Parvati Rec. The best dark release so far this year for me. Squaremeat - Astronomical Coffee Break - Exogenic Rec. Suomi =) Among all these good CDs I'd recommend Nystagmus.

Yeah, it's true... I've heard they made a studio in a 3-stored building outside Moscow and that was like $1 M

My Review =)

Coming soon @ SunDance

hm... I wrote Khetzal an e-mail, I asked about the style of this compilation and he said it's going to be full on with goaish elements and positive vibe 01. GOMA - INTELLIGENT SOLUTION 02. DIGICULT - INFECTION 03. OPTOKOPPLER - SPACETRAVEL 04. VIBE TRIBE - ZIMBA 05. CYBER CARTEL - ALWAYS 06. ANANDA SHAKE - PRESSURE 07. 4 WINDS CIRCLE VS ELECTRIC UNIVERSE - 4TUNE CIRCLE 08. AVIGMATI - PASSWORD REQUEST 09. PSYNYMPH - PSYCORDIA 10. AZRIEL - AKANE STILL DREAMING ( REMIX 2005 ) I've heard Digicult and it's really nice full on with twisted melodies. Optokoppler is also nice, just like Vibe Tribe. Ananda Shake... well, I don't really like it :/ Electric Universe could be really nice. We know Avigmati from Apsara, a very good morning track by them. Psynymph is Merr0w and Olo, Merr0w produce pure goa sound similar to Ethereal. Azriel is the guy from VA - Pure Planet. So this is going to be an interesting compilation if you are looking for melodies. PS And a nice cover =)

Definitely not 3/10. I can't say I love it but it's not that bad!

Oh, my mistake Have fun! =)

Derango's album is 'Coming Soon' at SaikoSounds for about 6 months now =) So you never really know when ?!?! BoC? and that Refused has the most aweful cover ever. Phoney Orphants... I listened to the samples... and it's like with the Antix. They have even got a disco track...

Well... yes, the guy is great =) We see a release by him very very soon =]

It's full on with goaish melodies at some places.

There was a topic at isratrance few months ago saying that Gi'iwa are looking for artists for their new compilation Schizm2.

Yes, there's a topic at isratrance

upd Ethereal VA - Fluorotronik (Tranceform Records) VA - Positive Alchemists Vol. 1 (Avigmatic Records) Khetzal - ??? (Suntrip Records) Filteria - Filty's Second Album (Suntrip Records) VA - Pura Planet 2 (Kadgila Records) VA - Schizm 2 (Gi'iwa Records) Mandalavandalz - Poison Machine (6D Soundz) Vibrasphere There's also two albums coming out from SunDance. After Talpa, Nystagmus and Angry Dwarf's track at 'VA - Vibraspirit 11' I'm looking forward to releases from them =) They are: Planum - Elaborate and a compilation called VA - Vibraspirit 23.11

Avigmatic Records (France) led by Khetzal and DJ Chai brings us their first compilation. Knowing their musical taste, I can predict that this is going to be somehow connected to oldschool goa-trance Release date - September/October. More news, complete tracklist and cover soon at Avigmatic Records.

indeed could have been a great album

2 CDs of goa that's right. 70% tracks are previously released, but remastered. New tracks seem to be made long time ago. But I love it

But Sensient is dark progressive... for me. His style is closer to progg than to anything.

Zenon has also got some nice compilations with dark proggy stuff (except their latest VA - Aerocruz). Check them.

Yes. Zenon Records. Sensient could do the trick.

did you try Para Halu? I'm sure you're gonna like it

u want slow or not hard kicking basslines? or both?
