  1. On a side note, according to a long discussion on the release history (discogs) Simon DID NOT collaborate on The Great Spirit even though:

     

    -it's tagged 'Hallucinogenic Mix'

    -Simon happens to have contributed another track on the same album

    -has a totally hallucinogen sound

    -if that was not enough it was even listed in his (Hallucinogen's) discography on his old website

     

    Do you know that track, radi?

  2. It's (1) a digital only release, that is enough to make it less known.

    But releases from a digital label like NeoGoa (to mention one label of our style) are quite known because they are advertised heavily, unlike the damned release you opened a topic about. So reason (2) is that.

    And (3), does't sound exactly like a nice release. But makes good background music while relaxing in a spa.

     

    Is that enough reasons for it to be unknown?

     

    Take the positive side - after this thread it might gain an inch of popularity.

  3. Pretty solid release, my favourite is Alnitak Sunrise. I really like that 'happy meloy, it (the melody) reminds me of Hard Trance anno 1994-1995 (think Sunbeam - Outside World). Not that this goa track has resemblence to hard trance mind you.

    Like also the odd ending track. Reminds me of ambient, dare I say 1994 again.

  4. Damn, imagine the odds: I tried to buy the last copy at beatspace and someone beat me to it (probably saw this thread) then i bought the copy on discogs and the package WENT LOST. Yes I paid and i never got it. Now I still want this damn cd. Anyone?

    You tried to buy it the instant moment (or little after) you saw the post here:

    Beatspace still offers it, € 10,50 ....

     

    Have only one copy, otherwise ...

    You posted here again after exactly 2 months.
  5. Alien Protein is abundantly available due to multiple editions and reguraly priced, not sure what the big wish is.

    Re TIP coloured series get The Colours of Shiva 1 and 2 if you want the music and not the originals.

  6. Interesting question...

     

    First of all, the reason why we released the Sakura mix, was indeed more out of promotional purpose... (hence the price) but once we were working on it we realised the feedback was more then originally expected... because of that we included some "unique" tracks in it, so it became even more interesting for everyone :)

     

    The most "shocking" about the mix, is that it sold better then E-Mantra the first 2 days after it was released! (actually, it was sold out almost immediately) So this means, there is clearly people that are interested in this.

    I, myself, like mixes a lot. Like said here before there are 1000 of mixes allover the place, but only few of them have a good story/mixing/quality. Because of that I only check the ones I KNOW I will like. Maybe limited prints of the best are interesting... After this successtory we were thinking we can maybe ask the Suntrip djs to make a good mix, and release it as limited mix-cd prints on Suntrip. Like a series. For instance, Ine makes one, next is Stevo, next is Lord Flames,...

     

    Only problem: you need to have the rights of all the music, and that is less easy as people think, but ok, that's our problem :)

    That would be nice, starting releasing limited DJ mix series. think Deck Wizards from the 90's, but 2 decades later. You shoul really consider it, getting license from other Goa labels shouldn't be a big issue if everything is done correctly.

  7. After having received today the sweet Sakura I felt I had to share something which has been baffling me since long. Why is it that after 2000 dj mixes (psy-goa) became so rare? How many dj mixes can you count in the 'latest' years? Me, except for Sakura and the other Suntrip 'Warming Freeze' from 2008 can't remember. I understand psy-goa vinyl is no longer existent and this had certainly an effect on the official dj mix CDs. Gone are the DAT days. Times have changed in the sense that 'today' everyone wants to release his tracks in full on various compilations and full-length albums but I (still) think dj mixes would be nice if there were labels ready to get tracks licensed for the purpose.

  8. I'm still surprised that Brainfood has such a bad reputation... it takes me on a deep outer space trip every time.

     

    Goa-Head and Antic, you don't even like this? :huh:

     

    No. But i only commented because antic did, otherwise, would have never filed it under 'worst' ever.

    Still, i'm still of the opinion it's a very bad release.
