really one of the best goa albums I've heard in a while! Any recommendations for other artists with kinda similar style?

other than what I said, you wrote a nice detailed review. music just wasn't my style

You got me curious, but when I listened to the samples it didn't have anything to do with acid(leads). far from it. more like uninspired distorted hardstyle synths:s

amazing album although 1 or 2 tracks weren't that special, the rest easily makes up for them!

setup used: http://i1.soundcloud.com/artworks-000001229646-v428ci-crop.jpg?bcf410 Download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9UXELMNA or http://rapidshare.com/files/393279221/Sunspot-Psy_demo_live_8_tracks.mp3.html Remember that it's played and recorded live so it's not polished all nice and shiny like playing a cd.

nice track

thanks man

bump

I recorded bass guitar, electric and acoustic guitar and various synths have a listen and chill out, it fits the nice weather spring brought us! http://soundcloud.com/sunspot/sunspot-demanding-happiness

nice smooth sounds:)

so you got that EMX! imo this is for some parts more regular trance than hard trance and for other parts psy (but what do I know about styles:p) the track flows pretty well, but it would be more interesting if you would tweak some sounds while they are playing so they'll change over time. other than that, well done!

nice, I like live stuff~! both are more regular trance imo although I think the bassline could have a better flow.. it's too 'bumpy' for my taste. I like more rolling basslines (not fullon though)

thanks a lot soo I'll upload a small psy set(6 tracks or so)

thanks man, I try to create a warm sound so that worked out well The only things that go trough the tubes of the ESX are the drums & percussion (and occasional sound/bleep etc) EMX sounds nice too, both are amazing intuitive machines. pretty cool that you already have 5 synth parts + rhythm parts so that's plenty to create whole songs within 1 box Supposedly for both ESX and EMX the sound is even better when you change the tubes to JJ tubes (possible to give more tube power without distorting). Haven't tried that yet though... I noticed when upgrading my setup with additional synths that the ESX's midi-send capabilities are limited though. For example the program change signal only seems to go trough midi channel 1. So not every synth switches program when I switch on the ESX (worked my way around it though and that seemed even more usefull). Also you can't dial in to what program the other synth goes to. when you dial the ESX to program 1, the other synth also goed to program 1 for example. When you start out with just an EMX there's nothing to worry about though!!

thanks for listening! glad you liked it

bump no comments? maybe this isn't psy enough for the most of you

Recorded it live yesterday evening. After a few tried I was happy with the reults, have a listen! Here's a link to stream: http://www.humyo.com/9861861/music/Sunspot-Marble.mp3 Also this time I used only hardware (*drumcomputer/sequencer/sampler + 3 synths), computer just for recording Setup: Korg ESX Yamaha AN-200 Waldorf MicroQ Nord Rack 2 Focusrite mixmaster Lexicon MPX1

recorded live (drumcomputer + synths) stream here! http://www.humyo.com/F/9861861-2441673761

Does anyone else have some feedback? in the next tracks I'll be able to add another layer because I've added the Yamaha AN-200 to my setup (and a lexicon reverb!)

thanks for listening guys! and glad you enjoyed the tunes I hope to play at some small outdoor parties next spring/summer! PS nice tunes there too HK!

here's the link for streaming: http://drive.heartinternet.co.uk/F/9861861-2120399151 some parts are still too long etc since it's the first time I recorded it. but hey, it's live no computer used only for recording setup

after a few listens I'm liking this album. What I'm missing are some really catchy melodies or vocal parts with a certain energy that were there on the first 2 albums, but aren't on the last two! The newest albums may be a smoother listening experience, but there are no special peaks. more like a steady flowing stream of water. in the first 2 the stream had a waterfall now and then, and some rapids

I listened and definitely recognized sphongle! I like it, but I'll have to listen more to come to a definite conclusion

and some psytrance as promised! www.soundcloud.com/sunspot

still working on the psy tracks,but for now I've made another set which is much more deep and melodic than the last one. you'll enjoy it! this time I also used a Nord Rack 2 and a Waldorf MicroQ in addition to the ESX you can stream it here: it's the 9 track liveset
