Well then we can perhaps agree to disagree on the definition of "insane" Each to his own, I still think The Portal is the best newschool goa album to date. Now if Lapsus would ever get around to releasing an album...

Certainly not mine either. I'd have no problem placing PortaMento - The Portal on top of that list. With Ephedra - Journey Through My Head and Omnivox - Fragments Of Evolution fighting for 2nd place

Isn't that exactly what the limited edition box is? Both CDs + artwork prints + sticker + crystals in a black cardboard box (what I received also).

OOOD - Rifa (167) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiXez26W1j0

X-Dream - Aurorix (152) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJJBs0FSqgs Moonweed - Snake Charmer (154) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8YRbBZXJEA Green Nuns Of The Revolution - Atomic Armadillo (155) The Infinity Project - Overwind (156) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYx-HMFZ6Dg Hallucinogen - Space Pussy (156)

1200 Mics - Egypt (Eat Static Remix) Now that's some properly melodic fullon

Yep, already waiting to see him at ZNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT4WTJz9pdc

2 melodic no-cheese favourites of mine: Zirrex - Ritual Dance. Fullpower melodic psy. Algae Bloom - The Blossom. The artist calls it "daypsy" as it's a bit difficult to classify. And loads and loads of goa trance but that's kinda melodic by definition

Copypasted from Ektoplazm's styles list. And removed goa.

Words always seem to fail me when I try to give praise to my favourite albums, but I recently made a list of the 10 (no, make it 11 just because) best albums from the first half of this decade (2010-2014). This was the only "psytrance" album on that list, which perhaps tells something about how much I simply adore this album. It's melodic, positive and dancefloor friendly with absolutely no cheese. And for once doesn't fall into the formula of corny new age and/or drug samples and "let's stick a shitty downtempo track at the end of the album just like everyone else and call it a day". The first drop in tempo comes already at the second track and it's a good cool down from the fantastic opening track. Then we're up in high gear again for the next 2 tracks (not even the dubstep breaks on Extremist bother me at all). Magic Colors is another nice cooldown before the 20 minutes odyssey of Solar System. Rock Box brings the album to a nice closing with lots of guitars, and so what if there's an acoustic guitar riff exactly like the one in Infected Mushroom's Bust A Move, and a slight touch of IM-esque vocals. Apparently the guy likes IM, and if you ask me, kicks the shit out of them on any given day. Fullpower psytrance at its best, highly recommended, et cetera. 5/5

No images or visions or visuals whatsoever. Plenty of emotions and feelings though. It's always been like this. Quite the same thing with psychedelics actually, although the visual aspect is sometimes a bit stronger than just "nothing at all".

Off the top of my head and without lengthy explanations, albums with barely any dull moments (meaning that nothing can be pure bliss from start to finish I'd say) Omnivox - Fragments Of Evolution Ephedra - Journey Through My Head PortaMento - The Portal BlackStarrFinale - AURYN Crossing Mind - The Inner Shift Artifact303 - Back To Space Goasia - From Other Spaces Merr0w - Born Underwater Nolax - Turning Point Trinodia - Stargazing Surely I forgot something.

You can get it for cheaper on Discogs. Which actually reminds me, I should get this

How about If I Wasn't Human, I'd Be A Trance Track.

Does this qualify? LIstening to it right now and it's quite out there Limiti - Information Is Creation Makes me mainly think of Suomisoundi This is a fantastic EP. The link you posted goes to the Goa section @ Ektoplazm (I fixed the link in this quote).

inb4 Museum of Consciousness And, truth to be told, Tales of the Inexpressible to some extent. I was expecting some tripped out weirdness and got pseudo-psychedelic world music.

Sure you're not joking?

The goa trance freak in me is already drooling and waiting for ZNA Gathering

Finally arrived today.

Aw shit I think I forgot to vote :/

Just an observation: why are so many posts in this particluar thread riddled with seemingly random colour tags. I'm on the Deviant theme (which is quite dark compared to the default one) and can't read lots of the dark coloured text here.

Yep, the best of the TIP Singles compilations. Kicked ass some 15 (err, make that 17) years ago when I bought it and still does. Especially Laughing Buddha's Karma which honestly is better than everything else LB did, combined. OK, so the Doof track never really clicked with me, and Synchro's tracks are more or less "OK". And Snake Thing is Aussie weirdness galore but that was hardly a surprise

I got tired of this combo years ago. Actually, drug samples and lazy <insert any music style here>. If that's the only thing that supposedly makes your music "psychedelic", well, I don't know what to say. Take a look in the mirror, or something?

Damn that would be just after my birthday. Can't afford to go though

Another silly "Mac vs PC" fight. Just what this thread needs.
