A similar but a bit longer text can be found on Banco de Gaia's album Last Train To Lhasa (both the original, and the 20th anniversary edition), so in a way that album could belong here too.

THE LEVEL OF EPIC IS OVER 9000 HERE :O

This album has been pretty much on repeat the past few weeks: Available here: https://aleah-starbridge.bandcamp.com/album/aleah

That's...not impossible at all :O

Also the first few other compilations on T.R.N.C. were actual VA compilations, looks like in 1998 they turned into Ingmar Veeck solo "compilations"

As the description on Discogs reads: "Goa trance series on T.R.N.C. Except for Vol. 1 and some exceptions on Vol. 3 all music is done by Ingmar Veeck." So the first one was an actual VA compilation, I have no idea what happened after that

Looks like the last release on T.R.N.C. was in 2002, with a compilation of re-recycled tracks in 2011. Basically he was recycling the same batch of his tracks in different configurations from one compilation to the other. And as far as I've understood, he actually did write all the music himself. As for the music, I remember hearing some of his tracks years ago but unsurprisingly none of them left any kind of an impression, to put it *ahem* "diplomatically" XD As for being a scam or whatever, perhaps his Goa Trance series speaks volumes for itself...

Here's some floating downtempo from last friday, recorded on location at Kaivohuone, Helsinki. It was a bit strange to see the club emptier than I've ever seen it before, but was also nice to see some people I haven't seen in ages, with parties being quite few and far between in these strange times Tracklist: ArmagedDance - Sky Ocean Germind - Bending Of Light Altitudes - Altitude II PhasePhour - Unpronounced Numbers Scion - Sky Ocean Androcell - Frog Pond Asura - Regenesis Scann-Tec - Phaeton Remains Solar Fields - We Are The Dream Sundial Aeon - Sleepy Tranquility Eat Static - The Gates...

You didn't catch all the other blatantly obvious ripoffs of well known goa artists?

Ingmar Veeck would like to have a word with you

Holy shit, not a single track below 150 BPM

UnityVerse Music is a hybrid bass music and downtempo label / collective launched in September 2020 by Finnish producer Cosmic Touch. Psychonaut Central is a podcast showcasing the label's DJs and artists. 2 episodes are out now, with more following in the upcoming weeks. Episode 1, selected by Cosmic Touch:

I've played Astral Projection and Derango in the same DJ set, one after the other Properly melodic fullon (meaning: as little cheese as possible) and modern goa trance go well hand in hand (yes, I've tried that) Forest from the more melodic end and goa trance from the darker end of the spectrum also go well hand in hand (yes, I've also tried that)

Nice and easy on the eyes And now clicking "Mark site read" actually pops up a dialog box with "Are you sure you want to mark all content in the community as read?" instead of a slightly sinister plain white box with just an OK button XD

Check your pm

Thanks <3 This turned out to be my first and only outdoor gig this year. There "was" another one a few weeks later, but it was such a disaster that it doesn't count

Now this is some fantastic news <3 Glad to see you're back in action

And there's nothing that "might" be the issue. The levels of the tracks that went on the CDr were obviously altered post-mastering. What I'd like to know is who did this and most of all, why?

Still waiting.

Thanks for the set, once again <3

It's certainly been a weird year, with my first outdoor gig of the year in the middle of August... This is my set from our traditional once a year hideaway goa trance beach party in Helsinki, Finland. It's been a few years since my last morning Aikahattu set, and certainly the first time in years I've played a purely newschool goa set Tracklist: InnerSpace - Mental Stream Liquid Flow - Chaotic Ephedra - Deep Inside Feelings Denshi-Danshi - Brain Chemistry Denshi-Danshi - Parallel Universe Celestial Intelligence - Crystal Gazer Ephedra - Neuro Stretch Hypnoxock - Doubling Time Stellar Force - Astral Dive PharaOm - Rainbow Project Hypnoxock - Gravitational Isolation Celestial Intelligence - Distorted Visions Ra & Menkalian - 12th Hour Ephedra - Flowing Into The Night Etnica - Microdrive (Hypnoxock Remix) Goasia - Yes, We Are

The unfortunate side effect of this is that what used to be "the chillout" at psytrance parties has in recent years turned into "the alternative stage" with people playing mostly techno and/or house with some chill in the beginning and/or end, at least here in Finland it has mostly gone that way. It used to be that when I was too physically and/or mentally exhausted to be on the main floor, I could go to the chill and just relax and melt into the music, and I can't really do that much anymore :/

Oh, I don't really hang much on social media anymore, so no surprise I missed that. Anyway, the only album I (unsurprisingly) don't own is Eyes Of Gaia, but £15 (the £12 price seems to be without VAT) for the WAV version is a bit steep.
