  1. Really good goa compilation! It came a bit out of the blue, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

    Warm acidic goa sounds are all I need.

    The acid in Maiia303's great spirit is fantastic. Imba and Jagoa do perfectly what you would expect from a super collab like this.

    Acid with a tight bassline underneath and a great story.

    Fiery Dawn, OXI and Jikooha deliver superb goa tracks each.

    Indeed the Jikooha track's second part is mind blowing. It pushes like a train.

     

    Afgin's Rambo makes me smile too and it's a nice track, on the verge of cheesiness. Nothing wrong with that.

    Space Elves and Somnesia let me down here. I can't get into the tracks. Something special is lacking. A good thick bassline or simply a journey from start to finish.

    Khetzal goes a tad darker than we're used to. I really dig it.

     

    Very nice compilation here and definitely looking forward to a sequel!! :)

  2. About the compilations music: Nova Fractals remix of In Your Mind is fantastic! Nova, you da man bro!

     

    About the art: Not very interested in that. I have to admit that the Innerspace album has terrible cover art (that Arial font messing it up totally!), but I like Shaltu, Aurora SIdera and this one.

  3. Thanks for the feedback! The thing is that OFTW is a stand-alone release and it's more or less the mastering artist insisted on, the oldschoolish sound and vibe. Some people liked, some others don't. I don't have special opinion, I think it reflected the old sound very well and the music is aimed to the people who like/dig more retro Goa trance.

     

    Thanks for the explanation, Richpa. Fair enough. :)

  4. Mmm, sorry to say but these tracks sound like they're from the 90"s without mastering.

    If I compare this to the Dragon Twins track on Aurora Sidera, I can't believe it comes from the same time age.

    This one sounds too unfinished and amateurish. Sorry.

    Can't believe this is a 2014 sound when The Third Wave from today sounds so much better and new.

  5. Only started my trip in Goa trance from 2004, so here goes:

     

    Artifact303 - Back To Space

    E-Mantra - Nemesis

    Etnica - Live In Athens

    Lectro Spektral Daze - Psy Trance Powers My Space Engines

    Filteria - Sky Input

    Filteria - Heliopolis

    Antares - Exodus

    E-Mantra - Arcana

    Lectro Spektral Daze - Voyage In Your Mind

    Ra - 9th

  6. Rather dark Goa compilation from Neogoa!

     

    I still have to get into all tracks, but from a first listen these jump out as the most accessible ones to me:

     

    5. Celestial Consciousness

    6. Space Vibes System

    7. Sky Technology & Imba

     

    The rest is weird stuff, man. Darker than I'm used to from Neogoa.

    Which actually makes me curious. Curious to what I'm about to find out when I will listen to them more carefully.

     

     

    I really adore the cover art, though. Minimal with a dark psycho edge to it.

  7. I listened to the full comp while washing my car. :D Some things just have to be done.

    Although I wished I was hiking in Bulgaria whilst listening, haha.

     

    Aurora Sidera is an atomic bomb!! I knew from the samples it was going to be great, but the full tracks are just beyond this world.

     

    Nebula Meltdowns Deep Space Introspection is a super acid stormer. An uplifting piece, it makes me smile all the time. Fantastic!

     

    The Third Wave by Dragon Twins crashes all neo goa clichés. If you think all new school goa sounds the same, Dragon Twins shows you otherwise. Acid again and done in a way you will only hear on Suntrip comps. Man, this is so good. Right in the middle of the track a deep part takes it even more higher up.

     

    Morphic Resonance's track is a bulldozer. Stuff that you are looking for but never found. Well, here it is. The heaviness will break up any dance floor. Totally in love with it. Very clever track. From the twist at 4:45 on it's total annihilation. The greatness! I heard there is an album coming our way. Please bring it on!!!!

     

    I'm more than pleasantly surprised by E-Mantra's remix of Artifact's In Your Mind. My experience is that when one of the two remixes the other one's tracks, only the basskick and a few subtle sounds are different. This time E-Mantra shredded the track through his goa mill and came up with an fresh magical space goa track that is totally different than the original. Respect Emmanuel! You gave it a different twist and it's so good. And all that acid, hey. Can't get enough of it. :lol:

     

    Mindsphere's Fly High lives up to its title. Dreamy, floaty and psychedelic. It's just one big pleasant aural ride from start to finish. Wonderful. Best track from Mindsphere I ever heard. Really! You get sucked right in.

     

    What a fantastic intro of Celestial Intelligence's Inevitable Feelings. Reminds me of my good old Armin trance days, haha. With emphasis on "old". Soon this track evolves into uplifting goa madness. It's so indulging and danceable, it's amazing.

     

    The last track is different, that's for sure. Denshi-Danshi, what's in a name. Much slower than all the rest, but man, in one word: Addictive!!! Trance all the way. The groove makes your head nod up and down and the pads and synth leads are so crystal it's ridiculous. Add some acid and you've got the perfect picture. All falls in place perfect and the cd closes in great style.

     

    I'm overwhelmed. This compilation from Suntrip Records stands out as it explores different paths, whilst still offering trance from the upper class. It's the best (goa) trance compilation ever for me. This one will be on repeat for a long time to come.

     

    Now as you noticed, I didn't praise all tracks.

    Skizologics Retrospective doesn't explode and Crossing Mind sounds too dry for me. Still nothing but respect for these artists.

     

    But let's keep it positive because this is the BEST goa compilation I ever heard.

     

    My greatest congratulations to Suntrip and all the artists who made the tracks for this wonderful, original and unforgettable compilation.

    This has to become a classic.

     

    :wub: AURORA SIDERA :wub:

  8. Hi all,

     

    yesterday I received Etnica live in Athens 1996 from Psyshop. It's a double cd, but only CD1 is in the case.

    CD2 is simply missing.

    Of course this is a problem with packaging in the factory or so ...

    But do you have any experience i nhow Psyshop handles these sort of errors after sale?

     

    Send them a mail yesterday, but waiting for a reply now.

     

    edit: I meant Psyshop.com instead of Psyshop.org

  9. Very entertaining Goa album from Ephedra!

     

    My favorites are:

     

    Souls In Trance

    The Walk of the Little Green Man

    Experiments

     

    Absolute winner for me is The Walk of the Little Green Man. A swirling journey of goa smashed in your face with a beat that almost never stops.

    Quality!!! :wub:

  10. I Origins.

     

    Great movie that makes you think about the separation of fundamental scientific research and believing in higher powers.

    Makes you wonder in the end.

    I'm a science guy but it made me feel weird and astonished.

  11. Hi friends!

     

    Three years after Space Waves, my second goa session is here!

    My god, there is such good music out there.

     

    This mix is pretty in-your-face goa without much time to rest. Hence the name Hi-Octane. :)

    It also refers to the 1995 pc future racing game, haha. :D

     

    Hope you enjoy it!

     

    Comments are more than welcome.
