    From what I gather, you shouldn't do small runs of CDs. Stick to the net-label angle...

    Space Cat's first 12" Kreak/Space Cats was fantastic and came out long before Beam Me Up Kreak is killer I definitely know that Beam Me Up was full of collaborations and that Simon co-produced the first track, and yes, it sounds like Avi got the same gate effect rack that Simon uses (dwarmer gate?) and this is exactly why it sounds like a Hallucinogen album.

    I used to work at a replication and duplication company for a short bit of time Think of it like the difference between a commercial espresso machine and a home espresso machine. One has a proper water boiler and pressure inside the steam wand, the other doesn't. Quite often, there is a difference between home and commercial

    There is CD duplication and CD replication CD printing houses do them both. Both look legit and the same, one is essentially a high grade burn (and they are far better than home burning), the other is a glass master and would be official. Honestly, with the smallness of this scene, I expect duplication especially from the tiny 100-200 runs. Replication is for when you are doing, at least, 500

    Phreaky is very average That said, I always thought that the first Space Cat album "Beam Me Up" sounded like a Hallucinogen album

    It's a shame Mama Matrix was never pressed on vinyl. Such a great album

    [::::download::::] (1hr20min/320MP3/195MB/©2015) Genre: Night Time Psychedelic Anniversary Goa Trance 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. Since its inception, it has taken many forms, changed many styles and sounds, and has even become the soundtrack to the horrible Matrix sequels. But, behind all of the shitty dodgy hippies, burnt out acid casualties, and nomadic loners, there are some truly special ufo communications that were had. I would like to wish Goa Trance a very happy and healthy 20th anniversary celebration and here is a little mix to get you in the mood. You might know some of these songs. You might not know some of these songs. There is some old, some new, some magic, some blue, some conga, some phasers, a blotter or two. Much like the great Black Rhino, White Rhino two-part compilation from Flying Rhino Records, this anniversary celebration will be split into two parts. This is definitely the one for when the kids have gone to sleep. We’ll touch upon the morning later this year… Track List: http://goaconstrictor.com/music/happy-20thish-anniversary-goa-trance-winter/

    This is an impossible topic. Are we sticking with straight old Goa? Including modern trauma trance?

    This is the single best response to all of this. Very good point. I forgot that these tracks were all recorded an bounced down to DAT or disk long before people were finishing tracks in higher bit rates. For labels like this and DAT records, totally no need for releasing higher bit rate audio files Thanks for the awesome releases thus far! Looking forward to hearing more of what you release

    lolololol I sound so much more catty in hindsight. That said, I still like how bandcamp does allow you to sell your stuff in crazy stupid audiophile format. Also, apologies for being a catty dickwad at times...
  11. the goa constrictor
    I dunno, every time I put on SUN Project's '380 Volt'... I think "Gee, this sure sounds exactly like 'LSD' by Hallucinogen..."

    The original version of UX - Ultimate Experience is killer. Some of Ott's earlier engineering work. The remaster is ass.
  13. the goa constrictor
    I'm just now seeing this thread. Wish I could hear what the track was. I might be able to help

    I remember the one and only time I read a sample. I have an idea of where the sample came from, but it was still kind of an interesting one-off event for me. I was reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in 1997 before the movie came out. Space Tribe's Ultraviolet Catastrophe had just come out and, to my mind, it was some epic shit. I had listened to Know Your Dope Fiend many times at this point, when all of the sudden I started reading "KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim...." I was like "woah!" I know that speech. Sweet Then a year later, the movie came out and that part was in it. I always thought it was kind of cool that Oli sampled that snippet (I'm assuming either from an audio book or from the actual audio recording of that speech) before the movie broke. That's kind of the one time I read a sample from a Goa track...

    Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of interview one of the original legends of the Psychedelic Goa Trance community, Mark Allen. From the Return to the Source parties and compilations to his music as part of the group Quirk; Mark Allen is a man in a league of his own. Follow the link to read what was shared...

    There is a DJ Mix contest to win a copy Submissions in by September 20th.... I'd tell you where, but then I'd have more competition. ;-) lol

    It's Spectral not Spectral Alchemy And they are awesome, had a couple other singles, and a real fantastic album called 'Diffuse' And Rhythmystec is Masaray and Snake Thing. They may not have done much else together, but they both had many hits. Infected Deedrah would be a one-hit-wonder by this definition, but I don't really think that is what you're searching for.
  18. the goa constrictor
    I wouldn't really call them a one hit wonder. I have all 8 of their tracks and they are all great. Also, Satori is simply Process (Sean Williams) and Slide (Pete Martin)
  19. the goa constrictor
    He is/runs Artifact I didn't know they were still putting stuff out. The Mystery School Ensemble is a project of Drezz (Nervasystem) and Sean did some stuff on some of the tracks too. Great stuff. Definitely not psytrance.

    Hello, While I enjoy DJing and sharing Goa Trance music, I've never been one to write Goa Trance I write music that I call Nu Grebo (a modern take on Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, mixed with some Ween, Mogwai, and NIN) My new album is out now. Feel free to give it a listen. And feel free to remix it too Fried Kale The Somnambulating Schematic of the Obstreperous Listen for free: https://soundcloud.com/friedkale Purchase and support: http://friedkale.bandcamp.com/

    Yeah, he's into sound collages and direct recordings with interesting hardware and microphones. Loves playing with modular gear Is literally a Dr. of audio now, which is very fitting for the man. He was definitely one of the roots and reasons I feel in love with this music. His early work as Satori with Pete Martin was one of my first 12" loves. His live set was one of the best live shows I have ever witnessed too
  22. the goa constrictor
    It's really a tie between Macrometasomakosmos and Ubarpedia
  23. the goa constrictor
    If the quality is anything like the Nervasystem shirt, the art is as clear as smeared toothpaste and it's cut for a stubby barrel.... Good comp though.
  24. the goa constrictor
    woah! i soooo need this album on proper disk!
  25. the goa constrictor
