Wow, just listened to all samples and what I'm hearing is fantastic. I felt a euphoria that I haven't felt in all previous Filteria albums or any other album. It's al about sunshine and an ultraload of energy. Hope you have enough copies, Jos. Suntrip hits hard this time.

Quite fond of "Uth - Cosmic Fusion". Such a dreamy track.

And after some more listens I get the brilliance of Psychotria Viridis, Amnesia Reaction, Path to Sychelia and Daydreamer. I'm really amazed by the quality of this massive Goa compilation. Hopefully this label continues to grow since this first comp is filled with quality. A true contender for Suntrip for sure. Now excuse me, I have to order this cd asap!

My favorite is by far the Artifact303 remix of Dansul Ieleilor. What a high energy track with the bass thundering through my body. Amazing. Eleusyn comes in close second with a great acidic and floating track. Love this. Then its Celestial Intelligence with some great goa. Surprisingly good compilation.

Extremely beautiful downtempo album. One of the best I've heard in this style. Should be on its way to my home

@healium and zenobyte: you guys phrase it perfectly. Random Friday is not the generic prog-psy album with all the same elements you find on every album. It's not prog-psy at all actually. Just good trance, and that's why I love it and why it stands out.

Hey come on guys, please sort this out in private and get back here asap when all is ok again. Sad to see this going on. I'm sure you can call it a truce soon.

Sweet, looking forward to the samples. I'm hoping for lots of acid soundz.

Sounds like a really good album! Samples sound promising.

Sometimes I dream I'm a trance producer. Sometimes I dream that I know the function of all the knobs on the most expensive and creative hardware synths. In those dreams I have visions of making the perfect trance album. I would create warm sounds, extremely hypnotizing with a profound bass. But I'm not a trance producer. Hardly. I just like listening to deep trance and I admire all those artists who have the talent and vision to create wonderful trance masterpieces. Masterpieces that can be be put on repeat on any time of day and night into infinity. September 2012. I'm reading a review of Solar Fields - Random Friday on this blog. I started reading this blog as the writer says he loves deep trance sounds. Hey, so do I! As I read, it seems Solar Fields has made a fantastic uptempo trance album. His second. I have now listened about 10 times to this album in 1 week. And I still can't get enough of it. This should do it as a review, but I'm so in love with all these tracks Magnus has created, that I've decided to tell you some more about them. I'm gonna go deeper in some tracks because this music really actively plays with my mind, mood and ears. Enjoy. Solar Fields - Random Friday 1. Light Control 2. Random Friday 3. Cobalt 2.5 4. In Motion 5. Daydreaming 6. Swoosh 7. Landing Party 8. Lift Off 9. Perception 10. Polarity Lightcontrol doesn't really need an introduction. It's an easy, warm, ambient beginning to a great journey. Slowly the bass comes in and we're off to Random Friday, the title track. Very gently more bass is introduced to fire up Solar Fields' uptempo album around the 2 min mark. Trance pads, as you will hear them all across the album, clearly were made to grab you and not letting you go anymore. Very few artists have this talent. At least, on this high level. The track is over before you know it, but it was fantastic and refreshing. The power surge in the end is the cherry. Cobalt 2.5 is probably a remix or remake of Cobalt 2.0. I admit I'm too lazy to go listen to Cobalt 2.0 again, but Cobalt 2.5 doesn't need a comparison. It's just a high quality progressive trance track which evolves slowly but effectively. It oozes trance, but the kick is prominent throughout the track. It lets you know it's there. And it bangs! In motion is the perfect example of a perfect trance buildup made to hypnotize you and those in 1 km from where you are listening. The track is divided in climactic sections, where each section builds up to a climax and the next begins with a fine power boost that keeps me nodding my head up and down. Daydreaming has a jumpy bassline indicating that this track is intended to spice things up a notch. Trance pads and synths all around. Pads grow thicker while the bassline comes back in. A second bassline grows steadily from the background to give the track more body, man this is interesting. Suddenly subtle psy elements fly around and it makes me smile. Again, the hypnotic element feels so natural, it's incredible. Some deeper pads add mysticism and a tad of darkness leading to the break. And back to jump! 6 minutes and all sounds seem to melt together to form a fantastic atmosphere. And now it's melody time! What can I say? The finale includes some goa influenced indian flutes and they blend in perfectly with the other trance sounds. This man has a clear vision for each track. Swoosh introduces an extremely deep bassline defining the start. But already after 30 seconds, it's all trance you hear. Little blips and wonderful effects fly around. Trance pads come in and this is pure bliss. Being a normal trance fan, I'm in total heaven right now. Hypnotic, warm, deep, it's all here. And boom! The bass thickens and we're off. Where to? I don't know, but I'm eager to find out. This is the suspense Magnus creates. Some low acid lines add to the experience. Again, all goes to a little climax and the melody is back. I don't want this to end, ever. This is so entrancing, it's ridiculous. Sounds moving up and down, yet you feel this is the perfect arrangement. I'll stop writing now, I wanna listen and enjoy. 4:45, it doesn't get much better than this. Ready for the finale where everything comes together to make the perfect trance track. I would lve this track to take 20 minutes, it's so damn sexy. Yep, this is my favorite of the album. Back to earth now. Landing party. What a perfect track to follow Swoosh. Ambient sounds but with a certain heavyness factor. Etnic sounds join the party and then .... some synths hinting... there is the fast paced kick. A jumpy track that speeds up the whole album right here. The 5 minute mark finally starts the track. It's an uplifting piece of art that is so rare to find these days. Magnificent. Beautiful trance pads carrying the melody to finish the track in style. Lift off is the same style of track as landing party, but faster and heavier. I can't help that it reminds me of a Wizzy Noise track from Sabotage Part 1. From 3:30 on it's all systems go! I can best compare it with me (or us) sitting in a space ship flying at ludicrous speed through the galaxy (allthough I have no idea how it must feel like, I think something like this) passing by the stars and flying in colorful nebulas. Hell yeah! Faster dammit! Psy elements are thrown in to make the track more aggressive. The key of this track remains its punchy kick and it is addictive untill the very end. Perception. The beginning of the track is already one to remember. The soft sounds and synth horns are the interlude of something big. This just has to evolve into a trance masterpiece. I don't know, but you can feel the energy already. The intro takes about 3 minutes before you can feel the basskick coming in accompanied by an Underworld - Rez kind of background trance element. The melody, if you can call it so, is a synth flute going up and down, but you will be humming it as the track progresses. Spirals of trance sounds come in like fireflies while the bassline drives everything forward. Already at the 5:30 mark and I want this to go on for hours. A short break preps you for what's coming. Hypnosis, hypnosis and more hypnosis. Very deep and trancy, man, how I have been craving for such beautiful music. From 7m on it's just letting go and enjoy the best of Solar Fields. The ambient Polarity, as usual, blends in perfectly with Perception. This is a genius producer marking the end of his best uptempo album. Of the best uptempo album in years. No, ever. Conclusion I'm gonna keep it short, as you probably know by now I love this album. I wanna have sex with it. It's just so damn good. What's always there is the pure hypnotic effect. Magnus manages to pull out the best of his hard- and software and use it to make wonderful music. These are not stand-alone tracks put together blindly. It's an album, with a capital A. A journey with a capital J. The music is deep, but at the same time uplifting and it will make you smile. I have been waiting for a genuine, honest, pure trance album and Solar Fields has brought it to me. Thank you Magnus. Thank you. Buy links Ultimae Records Psyshop

Very nice track indeed! I surely missed this one out. Thanks!

Sounds like my cup of tea. I'm buying this for sure!

Our new mix will be broadcasted on di.fm this thursday at 20h CET! Join the party on the di.fm forum. http://www.di.fm/calendar/event/20418

Hi friends! four months after our first back2back Goa mix (see here), we are back with the second installment. We worked on it for a while but now it's finally here. Blackpearl and myself (Aspartic formerly Joost) made a new b2b Goa and Psytrance inspired mix of high energy psychedelic trance. The result is quite a well bodied mix of 90 minutes mind altering Goa and Psy Trance. The tracklist is: 1. PharaOm - Rainbow Project [Neogoa] 2. Filteria - Ultimator [suntrip Records] 3. E-Mantra & Suufi Astrolab - Praying forest (Neurosect RMX) [Elektronica Records] 4. 01-N - Ascension Stage [Goa Records] 5. Jikooha - Underground Spirit [Phototropic Records] 6. Innerspace - Innerspace [suntrip Records] 7. Nanospace - Magic Mushroom [Psyseed Records] 8. Astral Projection - Mahadeva (Original Mix) [Nova Tekk] 9. Mutaliens vs Biomechanic - Mind Explorers [Psyseed Records] 10. Psy-H Project - Spiritual Experience [Global Sect Music] 11. Spirit Architect - Newborn [Ovnimoon Records] 12. E-Mantra - War of the Hierophants [suntrip Records] 13. Alienapia - Magic Magnification [space Baby] The set is not uniquely Goa, we mixed in some sweet psytrance (super psychedelic) tunes that we found amazing. Listen or get the mix from soundcloud: http://soundcloud.co...a-madness-vol-2 Comments are welcome and appreciated! Of all kinds. ;-) But above all, we hope you will enjoy this story. Thanks to all artists! Osyris

Gagarinz Trip is truly outstanding Goa Trance. Trippy, spacy, heavy rolling bass, warm. wow! I don't understand why the other tracks don't reach the same level as Gagarinz Trip. It's really the only one I like. But it's amazingly good.

I'm using FF 13.0.1 and my avatar's not showing. also some avatars of other members are also not showing.

01-N - Ascension Stage Is it goa, full-on, trance, uplifting...? I don't know... but it's good! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CTVFWIe_80

I agree with Penzoline. He said it quite detailed. I do like Ursae Majoris and Alderamin though.

Aw shit. I really dig acid. Really. I think it's the most energetic sound alive. But all of this sounds so 1995. And I can't enjoy this anymore. Needs more layers and basslines for me. But I realize this was the concept and it will find fans of acid trance. But it sounds so old.

Just ordered it! What a tracklist! And the samples sound already awesome!

I agree, while the melodies are really good and the flow as well, more basspower and more use of aggressive elements would have lifted this up with the big guys. And make it more enjoyable. I'm also put off by the lack of power. Still, nice job!

Doesn't beat Carbon or Phantasm, but a must have for the E-Mantra fans, including me. I would have hoped for a more energized EP, this one is indeed much softer and lush than the first two of Eleusyn. Gotta be versatile.

I like my Goa powerful and heavy, and this doesn't do it for me. But nice that Suntrip offers such a wide range of music. Always exciting.
