  1. This is actually one of my favourite Solar Fields' albums. One artist that has never lost it Favourite track is The Daylight Carrier but that is just the culmination of a fantastic album. I am surprised that it doesn't have more love here. šŸ¤”
  2. Same, I heard some Goa at a house party, and just remember seeing the Order Odonata/Dragonfly logo and bought a CD with the same logo, it was this, Genetic - Trancemission had me instantly hooked and I've never looked back.
  3. I want to believe it's Radi, but it is just too on point for Radi 15 years ago, it's hard to believe that someone hasn't changed one bit in 15 years. Also, why would anyone go to so much effort?
  4. Carbon Based Lifeforms never fail to impress and this album is one of my favourites from CBL, it came to me at a time where I was not expecting anything from them and suddenly I had an amazing album that was blowing me away. It's a very atmospheric journey through lush dreamscapes, nice pads, beats, rhythms and soundscapes. I have no idea how there has been zero comments to this review except that maybe everyone here sucks šŸ˜‚

    S.F.X. – Rainbirds

    I really liked this album. It's one of those releases where I don't understand people's comments of "it sounds dated" in a negative way. Yeah, it sounds dated, to an era of absolutely amazing music. What the hell are people complaining about with this "it sounds dated" complaint? Does Chopin sound dated? Of course his compositions sound like that era, is it an issue? No one cares. So why do people fixate on old electronica sounding like the era it was made in? For me that's a plus, not a negative.
  6. Angle Tears - Indian Ballad Seb Taylor is the best artist to follow on bandcamp. He releases fantastic stuff at a great price. Recently he's released a load of compilations. 50 odd tracks for next to nothing.
  7. This was released on my 35th birthday and while I have vague memories of this, and I know I own it because of this review....I still cannot find it anywhere in my collection. I feel this is a metaphor for my life at 35, I have strong but vague memories of things but I'll be damned if I can actually remember what happened (for context my daughter would have been just born 2 months after this release, at the same time I was getting demoted at work and taking a huge payout, just in time for my new family member)
  8. One of the last great Ultimate albums A really nice journey that unfolds so nicely with a quiet undistracted listen
  9. This release, for me, is symbolic of the direction Ultimate took, or the direction I took. It sounds good, I like it, but it doesn't grab me. All recently Ultimate releases are like this, either their style just got stale, or I lost the ability to really focus on enjoy it. I still listen to a lot of drone ambient that can grab me, so I feel it's the former, but I hope it's the latter so later, when life calms its tits a bit, I can sit and maybe fully appreciate this and other later Ultimate releases.
  10. Summer finally hit here. After a July of wonderful warm weather in the mid 30s, and having to endure people complain that it's "too hot" and ask them "what are you going to be like when it gets truly hot?" It's ramped up a fair bit now, pushing 40 in many places. I love summer, I can acclimatise, but gotta stay safe and stay hydrated.
  11. Over the years I find a few compilations stand out from the rest Flying Rhino Records Black Rhino Singularity First Flight Third Flight Dragonfly A Voyage in to trance Order Odonata 3 Twisted Unusual Suspects Dementertainment Forgot the label Destination Goa - The First Chapter
  12. You can get this for free on Bandcamp, or pay what you'd like https://anahatamusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-immaculate-perception I remember this being very good, worth a listen and worth buying.
  13. I go this recently too. It's a really good buy. Honestly Seb Taylor is one of the best artists to follow on Bandcamp. He really knows how to sell his stuff. It's all reasonably priced and often comes with mixes and DJ sets included. He has released a lot of these collections and I have gotten them all.
  14. Always loved Dog Days Bliss
  15. @Radish6404so what is the reason you didn't use your old account? Did you forget your password? Isn't their a password recovery system? I'm also curious what you chose your new account name to be Radish, why use a name other users used to mock you with?
  16. Isn't awesome discovering and old classics you never knew existed before?
  17. Bringing Joy to my life Amazing some of the things we remember, and things we just totally forget. I'm listening to Eat Static - Dead Planet now, I wrote a glowing review about it, and forgot all about it. Enjoying rediscovering it. A nice mix of Old Eat Static and full on!
  18. There is a surprising number of classic Goa albums I bet lots of us haven't heard before, just waiting to be (re)discovered. I love all the Trust in Trance albums, but this one is probably the culmination of the series. Recently listened to all 3 in a row. 10/10 would listen again.
  19. Listening to this now, just finished the live set and it's amazing. Very glad that I read through all these reviews and realized I had one of the most amazing releases just not being listened to. No I will listen to it....more often šŸ˜‰ Tell them you came & saw & looked into my eyes, & saw the shadow of the guard receding Thoughts in time & out of season The hitchhiker stood by the side of the road & levelled his thumb in the calm calculus of reason (and then a car passes) Why does my mind circle around you Why do planets wonder what it would be like to be you All your soft wild promises were words Birds, endlessly in flight Your dog is still lost in the frozen woods or he would run to you How can he run to you Lunging w/blooded sickness on the snow He's still sniffing gates & searching Strangers for your smell which he remembers very well Is there a moon in your window Is madness laughing Can you still run down beach rocks bed below without him? - JIm Morrison
  20. I found it in my CD storage and am listening to it now on nice open back headphones. Really really glad I did
  21. Is it you I have to thank for that Masterpiece? Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had the main album on cassette but the CD had so much more and it is still in heavy rotation at Casa De' Basio
  22. Trust In Trance is also my favourite. Love the more raw sounding stuff from them šŸ’•

    Atmos - 604

    Now that's an awesome find

    Atmos - 604

    No worries at all on the history lesson—it’s a great topic to dig into. But I’m not sold on the idea that Atmos had no Goa connection, or that Flying Rhino had ā€œabandonedā€ Goa by 1997. While it’s true that Atmos helped define the progressive psy era, especially with Klein Aber Doctor onward, his earlier tracks and DJ sets still circulated heavily in late-phase Goa trance parties and compilations. He contributed to Flying Rhino during their transitional period, when they were fusing Goa's psychedelia with progressive structure—he was part of that arc, not outside of it. And yes, Airborne signaled a shift, but even that comp had tracks with Goa DNA—just more refined and minimal. To say Goa was ā€œdeadā€ in 1997 is overstating it a bit. Goa was evolving, not vanishing. There were still active scenes and labels well into the early 2000s, especially in Europe and Israel. Also worth noting: while Klein Aber Doctor isn’t traditional Goa, the atmosphere, psychedelia, and structure are clearly an evolution from it—not a total break. So I think Atmos and Flying Rhino both straddled the Goa→progressive shift, and that’s part of what made that era so rich.
