  1. Wow, all of these sound very good indeed! Especially that 3rd track is fierce!
  2. I'll write more in the review section later, but this album is GOLD! Take 9th, spice it up with more energy and you have Earthcall. Brilliant mastering as well. Can't wait till the cd arrives next week.
  3. I really love how Artifact303 build his tracks e.g. Magnetic Fields, Trancemission, but especially Beyond Lightspeed!
  4. First and fourth track do it for me. Really original stuff right there. Looking forward to the release!
  5. All credits to you Imba. Looking forward to the new track!
  6. Heart-breaking article. About 18 years ago I went to a techno party and stood in front of the speaker for about 30 minutes. When we went outside to go home, I immediately felt that my ears were damaged like never before. Every sound was damped and I think I could only hear 50% anymore. Thinking it would be gone the next day. The next morning I woke up with ringing in both my ears. Two days later I went to see a doctor who prescribed me cortisones and vitamine B. Days went by, but no improvement. The hissing and ringing sound was there all the time. I cried many times then, thinking I could never listen to music anymore the way I was used to. And music was an inherent part of my life. After more than a week, one morning, I woke up. The ringing was gone. I couldn't believe it. I realise I had been very lucky. But I felt for a short time how life is when you have tinnitus. It's horrible. Eight years later I decided to to do some courses to become a teacher. It was a long time since I had studied so much, so I was very nervous during the exams. Suddenly the tinnitus came back and I suffered also from hyperacusis (hypersensitivity to sound). A fork ticking on a plate was like a knife in my ears. This lasted for as long I had exam stress and still two weeks more. Then it also went away. It was shocking to realize that damage was done to my ears and that a certain amount of stress made it painful again. But again, luckily, it went away. Please take care of our ears. It's only when they're damaged that you realize what you've lost. And then it's simply too late. Courage to all who suffers from such a trauma. I can only imagine.
  7. It's a great track man. Enjoying it! It's going with me on a trip to France
  8. Artist: Omneon Title: Farscape EP Label: Timewarp Records Released: February 2016 Tracklist: 1. Farscape [9:43] 2. Meeting With The Unknown [10:00] 3. Om [8:46] Look, there is only one Trance2MoveU. And the way he uses gifs is unearthly. But! Faith happens that I'm currently watching the first season of one of the most addictive sci-fi series ever: Farscape. And I'm loving it! Happens also, that I stumbled onto Omneon's EP called Farscape, released on Timewarp Records. Hence I just have to use some gifs from these great series. :-) The title track Farscape is pure sci-fi spice. You board a spaceship and get sucked into a wormhole to another galaxy, dimension, whatever. Far from here! The bubbly and uplifting bassdrive puts a big smile on my face and that doesn't end until the track winds down. Meeting With The Unknown races on like a high speed locomotive. Unstoppable. I get sucked in. Om follows the same pace without any breathing space, but no need to. Acids swirls and sci-fi feelings overwhelm you. Most majestic. Timewarp has ups and down with their releases, but they nailed it here. What am I saying, Omneon nailed it! Big time. Go get this one, since it's essential hypnotizing goa! Buy at Beatport
  9. Mental Processor is sick! Jeez, how psychedelic and multi layered this is, it's incredible.
  10. The pleasure is all mine. I'll have an in-depth listen in the car tomorrow.
  11. Name: Svemirski Hod Label: Neogoa Records Release date: April 2016 Zenith 01 - OXI - Haphazard Dance (Nova Fractal Remix) (145 BPM) 02 - Zopmanika - Cosmic Influence (145 BPM) 03 - Imba & Hisia - Elysium Island (143 BPM) 04 - Omnivox - 5 Dimensions (143 BPM) 05 - Stellar Force - Astral Dive (145 BPM) 06 - Lunar Dawn - Orbiting The Sun (143 BPM) 07 - Cosmic Dimension - Another Species (146 BPM) 08 - Main Sequence Star - North Pole (120 BPM) Nadir 09 - Arronax - Dive Into Merak (110 BPM) 10 - Goasia - Skylander (142 BPM) 11 - Arcane Voice - Cerridwen's Potion (144 BPM) 12 - Ezoterica - Universal Mind (150 BPM) 13 - Screw Loose & Stevo - Celestial Bleeps (146 BPM) 14 - M-Run - Galactic Hunt (Part I) (140 BPM) 15 - CoaGoa - Tesla Coil (145 BPM) 16 - OXI - Edge Of The Universe (140 BPM) 17 - Perfect Blind - The Expanse (100 BPM) Time to review this Goa beast from Neogoa. About time. OXI's Haphazard Dance has been vamped by Nova Fractal and the man has done a superb job. I really like the original and Nova has put some more space sauce on top of it. Delicious! Love the warm rolling bassline and crisp production. Euphoric trance all the way. Zopmanika. Never ever heard of the name. Balkan, sure. Good? Fuck yeah! Bubbly jumpy melodic goa that doesn't give you one moment of rest. Once you get into the groove, it's party time! Just saw he has an album out on Sita records. Should check it out! In comes Imba, da masta. ;-) In collab with Hisia. They sure know how to control a lot of acid. It's really incredible. A track can hold much acids sounds, but the magic is to make it sound harmonious, danceable and just fingerlicking good. These gentlemen do a terrific job here. They throw a incredibly sweet trance break in it and there we go again. Superb track!!! Numero 4 in the list is Omnivox with 5 Dimensions. A lush deep track that takes the energy and beastiness of the previous track down. Very well placed imo. It was time for something deeper and floatier. The track is very psychedelic with lots of stabbing sound effects and many layers. Extremely well crafted. Absolutely loving it, mainly because it's so lush and hypnotic. Stellar Force, a collab between Imba and yes OXI. Starts off hesitating, but after a while you realise it's just the intro. After 2 minutes, all sounds come in full force and create a whirlwind of psychedelia all around. Is it the collab with OXI or has Imba just reached the pro level of goa trance creation? Because this is greatness. Really, I'm astounded. Thanks for the orgasm at minute 7. Up next is Croatian talent Lunar Dawn with the beautiful track Orbiting The Sun. My god is he settling a name for himself. Again high quality spiralling goa trance with a basskick so deep. It goes up and down, makes you dizzy, makes you smile. Warm positive goa trance that is a pleasure for the ears. Perhaps my favorite of the compilation because it's so damn hypnotizing. It just goes on and on like a train at lightspeed. Bazinga!!!!!! Cosmic Dimensions Another Species is for sure a dance floor bursting track. The darker bassline made me thinking if it was going to be a track that I was going to skip, but no way. Although I didn't feel it for "In a special kind of space", this track is much better and twisty. Yes, approved. We have now two downtempo tracks which I can't really review. To me it's nice background music. Next goa track is Goasia's skylander, which sounds so oldschool, it's too oldschool for me. Don't know if the track is from the 90's or recent, but the lack of a solid bassline makes me skip it. I'm sure many of you will disagree. Cerridwens Potion has the intention to lift off at any time, but never manages to do so. I'm sure with fluo and blacklights everything sounds better, and although this is not a bad track at all, it falls short in terms of surprises amongst the other stuff. Ezoterica sounds way too old for me to enjoy, same as with Goasia. Sorry, but skip. Celestial Bleeps and Galactic hunt are too trippy for me, but will surely find an audience. Tesla Coil is a ear worm with some hook I can't get rid off in my head, but a twist or some surpsises would have made it more enjoyable. Aaah, back with OXI and Edge Of the Universe. God I love his basskick. The track has many parts, and when they all come together in the end it's pure bliss. Pure Goa madness that needs to be played at some Old Is Gold party in september. ;-) We close with another downtempo track. And that's the great end of it. CONCLUSION Svemirski Hod is a fantastic goa trance compilation and features top class tracks from both emerging and established goa trance artists. I must applaud to all artists involved and the Neogoa label for bringing this to us. Even for free, which is almost unbelievable. But for the artists it is a huge boost for their career now that everyone can listen to these superb goa gems. Simply amazing. Job well done. Download at Ektoplazm
  12. I recognize all of them but can't put a name on them. God, do they sound delicious. Gotta re-listen all his uptempo goa albums. Especially Arcana.
  13. Gotta say that only his remix of Artifacts In Your Mind makes me shiver. But then again, that's a great frakking remix!!!
  14. Not today, but few days ago Mindsphere's Mental Triplex: Presence arrived in the mail! Great fucking music! Pardon the language
  15. If I have to pick one name it is: Artifact303 His sound makes my brain melt and he touches all the right buttons. His style is my style. Other artists whose tracks I almost always adore: E-Mantra Filteria Antares (where the hell are you bro?) ;-) Nova Fractal
  16. LSD got my attention from the first tracks that appeared some time ago. Really digged "Psytrance powers my space engines" and the EP "The truth about UFOs" especially Gamma One. Superb track! But then a storm of EPs and an album came and well, it was all virtually the same again and again. Without any future classic tracks. This album feels the same. Same style and rather uninteresting while listening to it. The best one is actually the JaraLuca remix. A let down for me, since I had high hopes for Danny Marshall. It was a fresh wind in Goa land some time ago, but it's all very flat now. Hopefully he reinvents himself and his music with some new twists.
  17. It's a tie between Daze, which is phenomenally innovative and structured, and Heliopolis, which is just simply brutal. And some brutality now and then, yes, I can dig it.
  18. Good release all in all. The Wheel Of Time is the stand-out track here. Really captivating and overwhelming. One to set on repeat. Great job Nova!
  19. The only one I keep going back to and listen from start to end with pure joy is: Artifact303 - Back To Space Amen.
