An to add to the topic: anything by Entheogenic. I simply can't stand their shitty plastic "psybient" at all.

I can certainly agree with the Jiggle of the Sphinx part here (and to a certain extent, Deranger too). I mean, there's an obvious reason why there's a gap of silence after Gamma Goblins 2 (with those 6 first tracks mixed into a seamless journey): the album actually ends there. The 2 last tracks are more like an afterthought, or filler to get the release to "album length". Deranger had a single release anyway already (and yeah yeah so did Trancespotter but it fits well into the album continuum). Of course, the album isn't everyone's cup of tea. I bought my (golden CD) copy from a friend of mine back in 1998 or so because he didn't like it (I can't recall if he ever really explained what exactly he didn't like about it).

I'll have to check this out one of these days Also, not meaning to piss on your shoes or anything, but I'd post the link to Matsuri Digital's own Bandcamp, not the one that goes via Beatspace https://matsuridigital.bandcamp.com/album/quantum-audio-laboratory

Reading and listening to the lyrics, it's right there. She knew her time is coming to an end. From a comment on Bandcamp: "It's the dark beauty of someone literally singing her own requiem." And to think she was younger than I am now when she passed away.

Yep. It's up there with my favourite albums of all time Interesting to note is that Aleah did have a bit of a psy scene / downtempo connection, doing vocals for artists like Xerxes and Omnimotion. And curiously enough she collaborated with Simon Posford and George Barker in 1999:

If you want a graceful (as described by the band) mix of metal and alternative rock, you can't go wrong with Human by Nature's finally released debut album. I saw them play their debut gig in late 2016, and have been practically waiting for an album ever since https://hbnearth.bandcamp.com/album/el-imys

I have no idea if you're trolling, or if this is just some elaborate inside joke XD

I actually had to dig in my music library (both the actual one, and the one in my head) to think of even one *trance track that would be in a major key, and I found this: Most of electronic music in general, or at least the parts of it that I frequent, just works better in a minor key. It's easier to do weird variations of scales in minor, or is it even possible in major keys? (yes, the last time I actually attended a music theory class must have been around 1995, so you'll have to excuse my memory here...)

The release date is almost my birthday but not quite, dammit XD

A no-nonsense, shining beacon of light in a sea of overproduced polished modern goa trance. This one goes right back to the roots while not sounding outdated at all. It does have a few annoyances (particularly that vocal in "Into Heaven" that also appears in a far better context on Banco de Gaia's album "You Are Here") but overall it does its job at sounding like "proper goa trance" (yes, I know that's a bit of a silly term to use) far better than most albums out there. There aren't may *trance albums I bother listening to anymore these days. This is not one of them.

Yeah, I just might do that, depending on the price. You guys surely deserve it

I'm almost tempted to get the vinyl even if I have no means of actually playing it XD

Unless something absolutely mindblowing is released before the end of the year, I'll be happy to crown this release my personal "album of the year"

This one definitely goes on my early January music shopping list
