    The new board - issues and stuff...

    Thanks, this is much better, square avatars and all.

    Line breaks are a bit odd, they seem to create what looks like a new paragraph (which leads to a bit too much wasted space), like this:

    Line 1

    Line 2

    But if I copypaste something from Notepad++ for example:

    Line 1
    Line 2

    Also, the dialog box from clicking "Mark site read" has white text on white background (and the cancel button is almost impossible to see), and of course it'd be nice if clicking OK would take me back to the main page :)

    GoaTree - Black Star Of The Death [Neogoa Records]

    in 2017

    Posted

    the special part of this track, beside it being an amazing track, is its sample: "Vader... was seduced... by the dark side... of the force."

    I wish he'd have kept that as the only sample in the track (and perhaps used only half of the repeats) because it actually works and goes "with the beat". The rest of the samples sound like they're just randomly dumped in there with no thought.

     

    That being said, this is definitely an upgrade from Akasha Connection (which eventually wasn't particularly good if you ask me). This is the kind of drive I expected from the first album after hearing Syslit Joint (that came out before Akasha). Now that drive is here on this album, and it's fortunately taken a turn towards the darker (although with all this "dark"psy around the expression has a bit lost its edge) which is always a plus in my book of goa trance :)

    Currently I'm leaning towards Cell Connections as being the highlight of the album, but I need to take some more listens. Unfortunately this arrived too late to be properly dancefloor tested this summer since the outside party season is basically over and I'm on a well earned break from gigging for now.

    Kadasarva - Steamagination

    I'm not 100% sure but the album is no longer to be found on Ektoplazm

    What do you mean "no longer on Ektoplazm", here it is: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/kadasarva-steamagination

     

    But yeah, this is for the lack of a better expression an incredible album. Nasty, relentless, full of cybernetic mayhem, and contains absolutely no sunshine or your typical cosmic goa fluff. At least one track from this album tends to find its way into every darker goa set I play these days :)

    Absolutely 250% recommended. One of the best albums of this decade. And so on.

    Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger

    in 1997

    Posted · Edited by Paul Eye

    Nope, that's Cosmosis' "Synergy" but this one's pretty damn close :P

    Nope, that's actually The Lone Deranger :P

     

    But yeah, I've always been wondering where the basslines are on this album. I mean, I know they're there (of course) but they're like woven into the material so well that they just disappear, but still they're there doing their job :D

    Of course this doesn't apply to all the tracks (Jiggle and Gamma Goblins mainly, and Deranger to some extent have quite distinct basslines). Edit: and Snarling too, so that's the 2nd half of the album.

    And also, there's something going on basically all the time, constantly shifting and slipping in and out, especially all those little background layers that you might notice only after a few dozen listens :)

    X-Dream - Remixed [Flying Rhino Records]

    in 2017

    Posted

    I took a quick skim through the tracks and basically only liked what I heard on the Shpongle and Dickster remixes. The rest were on a scale from meh to fail. No need to waste money on this one.

    I still stand by my opinion that Far Too Loud's remix of The 1st kicks the living crap out of anything on this CD. But then again, basically nobody here likes psybreaks so whatever :DD

    Trip To Goa (downtempo)

    in DJ Promotion

    Awe-inspiring :o read somewhere around here that this is the golden era of downtempo psy, thanks Paul

    You mean "this" as in "what we have today"? Because that set itself contains music from the past 15 years.

     

    And thanks, of course :)
