the goa constrictor

From looking at the track listings, these mixes might be up your alley: http://goaconstrictor.com/music/real-snow/ http://goaconstrictor.com/music/harvest/ http://goaconstrictor.com/music/psyperbolic/ http://goaconstrictor.com/music/mayhem/

Darshan (back in the day) ECT Nervasystem

Rip Van Hippy Odd Harmonic Scozbor Outolintu Haltya (My Little Ponies... you speaking of Vishnudata? It was a rainbow of unicorns, but similar in look)

All joking aside, Dr. Williams definitely loves modular synths and sound design

...and the Process & Tristan, Promethues Process, Process and Tsuyoshi, and Process and James Munro tracks? ;-) lolololol

You mean, other than Beast (w/ Simon Posford) which was easily Simon's high water mark for psychedelic trance as well...

that sucks dude =(

because almost all new music is shit Tekniset is fairly unique sounding and from the 2000s James Reipas

My Facebook got banned again =(

I can't even make it through the first track. I think I got part way into tracks 2 and 3 a couple of times and keep switching to something else Just not interesting to me Psychopod "Headlines" is still their mind-bending pinnacle for me and it was far more banging and heavy than anything with a generic 16th note bass line

Everything by Texas Faggott/Mandalavandalz

Okay, I contributed. I didn't really need/want the signed disk but I support your music so I donated the extra. Hopefully this does well and it gets released =) Looking forward to hearing it

I dunno, 100 Euros sounds like a fair price Sucks about getting ripped off though. The fucking Greek. No wonder all of their gods went extinct.

I can only imagine what those conversations were like. Dr. Process is not an easy one to pin down and I'm so very excited to hear what you two did. I miss him... and his amazing shirt collection... Send him my hugs next time you chat!

Liking what I'm hearing and am anxious to hear the final product. I'll post my contribution soon =)

Artist: Younger Brother Album: Vaccine Electronic Label: Twisted Link Buy Review: Getting to hear this album has to have been one of the longest, most pointless, journeys I’ve had to endure, but I’m so thankful that they finally pulled their heads out of asses and made this available to the public. For those unaware, Younger Brother started out as a project between the esteemed Simon Posford (Hallucinogen, Shpongle) and Benji Vaughn (Prometheus, Prometheus Process, The Zap!). Their first album was a somewhat straightforward take on the various sounds of psychedelic trance. The second album is where the magic truly formed though. On their 2007 album The Last Days of Gravity, Benji and Simon enlisted the help of Leftfield vocalist Ruu Campbell. The album used the vocals sparingly, mixed and folded into the luscious psychedelic swirl that was the Younger Brother soundscape. It was a breathtaking album and was going to lead towards one of two ways: they were either going to amp up the vocals and become more of a real band (more Coldplay than Radiohead or Underworld) or they were gonna keep making an interesting blend of modern psychedelic Underworld meets Radiohead chill out pop dance music. Well, in 2011, they did the perfectly predictable and completely sad, and released Vaccine. Vaccine was not what I wanted. Underneath all of the standard pop songs was a real unique album; I just couldn’t hear it. This bullshit was annoying mostly because I knew, deep down, they probably mixed it entirely differently, in a way that would capture what it should have been, and that I would likely never hear it. Then, they admitted it. After suffering through the blandness of Vaccine in its original released form, Younger Brother hinted that there was an Electronic Mix of the album. They would play tracks of it at DJ sets, but it was never released. Eventually, they released a shite phone app that would stream it. But, really? Fuck you. Honestly. Fuck you. That is garbage. I want the album. Ideally, I would like it on vinyl. But a CD is good too. Hell, a proper download would be the least desirable but still acceptable format. Why wouldn’t they release it? Well, I have a variety of thoughts on this and what I believe is that they were committed to breaking into the mainstream with pop music and wanted to push Vaccine to its fullest. Well, that album didn’t take off as high as I think they were expecting. It was just not special. There was little to set it apart from the rest of the bland and forgettable shit being released. Releasing the Electronic mix of the album would make this resonate even more strongly. So they made it the most impossible album to get. It was Beach Boys Smile of a new era. Only this wasn’t shelved due to the psychological malfunctions of its composer. Well, it WAS due to this, but it wasn’t due to needing to be institutionalized, it was due to believing that selling a crap ton of commercially safe music might be better for them. That failed and then, four years after Vaccine, and eight years after what was first explored in Last Days of Gravity, the true followup, Vaccine Electronic has been released unto the world. And it is AMAZING. It is so good. Lush, weaving soundscapes. Warm melodies, soft vocals being carefully manipulated by true masters of their craft. It’s just enough to tell you the story and take you on the journey without getting you lost in exposition. Show it, don’t say it. Paint the story with a variety of elements. Vaccine Electronic is the Younger Brother album I’ve been waiting for since 2007 and I hope that they release a followup to it soon. And not the vocal version of it either. Please continue following on the path of Last Days of Gravity and Vaccine Electronic and release more experimental, psychedelic, mixed tempo, pop music for a new era. Thank you for finally giving us what we wanted. Thank you for listening to the fans. Please don’t take so long next time xoxox -Genghis Goa Constrictor

Not sure if this is the right place for this. I have been wanting a copy of this for a while. I have most of these tracks on Fetish Box but not Antenna Freak or Afro Black (Remix) (although Afro Black Remix might actually be Aphro Black). Anyway, if anyone has a copy of this or these tracks, please let me know!!

This kind of got lost in the swirl of things If you don't want to slog through the full 604 mix but want to hear the final segment of the 04 seasons, here is the Fall music for your pleasure =)

and the Puoskari album on 6 Dimension Soundz "Open the Forest" has the hilarious pressing problem of about 04 tracks (give or take a few) that were pressed unmastered. It is believed that Sharaku simply grabbed the wrong files out of the dropbox and pressed the disk with the unmastered versions instead of the mastered versions. It's quite the bummer, as the album is excellent, but whatever. Shit happens....

I wrote a review for Younger Brother Vaccine Electronic and wanted to know where to post it. It was officially released for sale in 2015, so I want to post it there. However, Vaccine was released in 2011 and the electronic version was released in 2014 (I think) as a streaming file for the phone app. Wanted to get moderator approval of section before I post it. Thoughts? May I use 2015? For those interested, the review is on my website now: http://goaconstrictor.com/music-reviews/younger-brother-vaccine-electronic/ Cheers!

I had a day at work where I could kick it with headphones on for the day, so I was actually able to give it a spin. The different pacing of each season gave each segment a unique vibe and sound so it was actually listenable. Had each season been the same bpm, that might not have been listenable. =) Enjoy!

I mean, the real question is: does it even exist? That's part of the Fall section. The shorter Fall mix is available here: http://goaconstrictor.com/music/happy-20thish-anniversary-goa-trance-fall/

I really appreciate your openness about all of this stuff and the clear communication All manufacturing has the potential to have problems and I've bought records in the past that were pressed with errors. It happens. Keep doing your best and people will come along for the adventure

So excited to hear some classic Wizzy Noise. Maybe some Paps will appear on one of these down the line too... xo

[::::download::::] (6hr04min/320MP3/877MB/©2015) Genre: 604 Psychedelic Anniversary Goa Trance Mega Mix Goa Trance, while it did begin popping up a bit here and there in 1993 and 1994, was truly birthed (according to my KNOW-EVERYTHING-ABOUT-GOA brain) in 1995. So that means, 2015 is kind of, for lack of a better origin story, the pseudo (like the science often sampled in the songs) birthday/anniversary of what has been known as Goa Trance. The 604 Mix So here it is. The 604 Anniversary Mix. 6 hours. 04 minutes. A journey throughout the seasons. This series of mixes began as a simple two-part mix of Night and Day tracks that was to span the decades. After releasing the first mix, while beginning to assemble the second mix, I kind of thought that it would be more fitting to make a Four Seasons of Goa series of mixes to celebrate the anniversary of Goa. There are so many different corners to explore, I felt two mixes was squeezing things a bit tight. I had originally made the second mix so that it could play seamlessly after the first mix and then did the same for third mix. After I finished the third mix (Summer), I realized that if each mix were 91 minutes, they would Voltron into a single 6:04 length mix. Unfortunately, by this point it was too late. I was already locked into 80 minute mixes. A bit of elementary arithmetic showed that I could likely add five more tracks (one at the beginning, end, and then between each of the mixes) and make the entire thing the proper length. All together, there are 55 songs packed into these six hours and four minutes of music. From the old to the new to the unreleased to the overplayed; the journey weaves in and out of sanity and oscillates through various parallel dimensions. I touch on almost everything (from Green Nuns to Rip Van Hippy, Ticon to Kino Oko, Planet B.E.N. to Pleiadians, Blue Planet Corporation to Texas Faggott, even Infected Mushroom and GMS make appearances). Had I truly thought this out ahead of time, I may have moved a few tracks around or maybe swapped a few out for something else, but none of that matters, as this is what it is. While you could just download each of the 04 season mixes (winter, spring, summer, fall) and get most of this journey, hearing the entire thing in full is kind of the way to go. It truly winds you through so much rich history of Goa and I feel it showcases why, even though some of my friends have walked away from this music, it will always have a hold on me. Happy 20th(ish) anniversary Goa trance!!! You make my head spin <3 xoxox -Goa
