  5. @starkraver I like it but I also have a thing for the old Japanese stuff... I haven't had a proper listing session yet, although I have heard it while doing other stuff and I was enjoing it very much. But go ahead and listen to it on bandcamp, then you can also buy it "directly" from the label if you fell like it https://hypnodisk.bandcamp.com/album/son-ov-a-seed

    RIP Nemo

    Man this is such sad news! I had many good talks with Nemo in the past, I hope he didn't suffer too much and that he is in a better place now, all my thoughts goes to his family and close friends... He will be missed! I'm glad to hear that you Dreake will help him with releasing his material... Rest in peace friend!
  9. ^such an awesome track np: New Born - Gentle PErfection
  10. uhhhhh aftermath..... nice one!!! What did you have to bleed to get that one?!!!
  11. Ordered!! I also really like what I am hearing... so looking forward to that album if it will be even better and yeah being self-critical can be both a blessing and a curse... most important is to be able to let go and I think you can be proud of your installment here with the astronaut you sent into space
  12. A great release from New Born, and yes it is very weird that with the otherwise sparse output we now get a double album! But wow this is a packed a large variety of stuff, so I imagine this has been why we haven't heard much "lately"!? The 2nd CD is my favorite, very playful and experimental, and lots and lots of layers and really nice with the more downtempo tracks as well! Some tracks also makes me miss good ol' Jikkenteki with the constantly weaving of melodies (as in Gentle Perfection), great stuff! All in all a very complex album that needs many playthroughs to digest, and that is a very good things... I quite often find that those are the releases I tend like the most in the long as they can keep on growing on me and not become stale right away Highly recommended!!! 4.5/5 and BTW I love the quote inside the cover: "without music , what are we?"

  14. Tottem - Natural Mystic EP Goa Records (goaep171) - Geomagnetic label group Released: April 15, 2015 Tottem is Christoffer Totte from Sweeden (had to find his soundcloud account to find any information on the artist, haha, pretty low-key) and for me his music was a totally unknown until last year when I stumbled upon his EPs in the vast catalogue of Geomagnetic label group... But what a pleasant meet this has been, without any doubt my favourite new artist to appear in 2015, hands down! Already his sound is very mature and complete, so I cannot wait to hear what will be in store for the future.... and I am surprised nobody else has reviewed some of his work to this date on Psynews (this and another EP called Proactive Runes... which I probably also should review), so for a starter you will have to make do with me Let us just get down and dirty, well first things first, overall the tracks have a very ritualistic feel to them, with deep grooves and panoramic soundscapes that swirls around "the room". As a simplistic approach, this could be defined as foresty Goa trance with most emphasis on the Goa part, yet the bottom sound-floor is based on the deep drive and bass-scape often found in (good) forest trance. I can only imagine how it would rip the dance-floors when played on good sound-system, yiaks! 1. The Yogis An epic opener, the track slowly builds up (and not in a hurry) to open up into swirling alien melodies, perfect panoramic "views" The way the melodies are build makes me think of Trold, but I wouldn’t say they are alike, but some kind kinship exist with the non-linear evolution the melodies undergoes... like the continues stream of the subconscious... very psychedelic 2. Buddhas From the Past Present and the Future The tribes move in... here we're moving into fire-dance territories. And then the melodies start.... underplayed and subtle, but suddenly you realize that you are embedded in a multi-layered cake of soothing melodies, very well made! Still the drive and the evolution of the track is very slow and patient (a good thing) with dreamy samples dropping in now and then... a trip! 3. Vishnu Now its getting darker and more foresty, the groove is deep and mystic (fucking amazing if you ask me)... The top-layers are still dream-like and floating on top of the deep vibrations underneath, very interesting combination! I have to hear this on a big sound-system with dancing people around me... Woah! This mix of deep grooves and dream-like melodies is very unique and very interesting, very epic sounding Mystical trance! 4. Natural Mystic For the last track we are back in the jungle to begin with but soon we are going to space... A nice closing track, with a little bit of sentimental note it. It is less involving than the previous tracks, the last bit of the track on the other hand takes you straight to the stars with laser-guns and aliens floating around, finishes too fast, or gets there too late though All in all, this a very very interesting contribution to the scene, and I hope this means that we are in store for even more from his hand... a very fresh take on the Goa scene, love it!!! Highly recommended!!! 5/5 Listen to it and buy it here >> Bandcamp <<
