    What are your personal memories of Goa Gil? 

    My first rave was a Goa Gil Mahayagya in India in 1999 , I think. With no exposure to the music as a teenager and with no idea what to expect  I spent the night trying to make sense of what i was hearing  , seeing  and smelling :) around me - the 4 by 4 beat  , fluorescent backdrops with elves and goblins ,  braided hippies dancing away , It was an assault on the senses ( in a good way) i was intrigued no end by the setting the music and the people.

    When the sun came up , i witnessed the magic which then stuck with me forever .I was an initiation like no other.  My brother went on to give  me his forest of the saints cassette that he had picked up from Goa earlier and the rest as they say is history .. 

    I owe my "getting into" psytrance to the man himself so he will always occupy a special place in my psych. 

    RIP babaji ! hope you continue your party wherever you are .. 🎵🌈🌙

  3. Some of the playlists are quite good . been discovering some hidden gems like 

    ZZ Bing - The key

    playlist 

    I like the above playlist a lot.  

    I have been missing such sounds for a long time. Had a lovely day listening to psychedelic in Fitzroy gardens on a cold , windy day in Melbourne.

    Gotta love the green spaces here, nothing beats the feeling of taking a stroll amidst nature listening to some crazy tunes. 

    Look forward everyone sharing links to other playlists.

  5. Just stumbled on this beautiful album this wonderful morning

     I checked the reviews section in 2010 for the dreamatc EP and didnt see a review !!

    He has produced some full length albums but this EP is what psychedelic music is !!!

    3 wonderful tracks that could suck the juice out of any dancefloor !! was sitting in my room and visualizing a particular spot in goa that i love !! super morning music and excellent production .

    wonder who has mastered it ??

    Looking forward to some sexy music like this EP!!!!

    Any similar recommendations anyone?

    + this I know is good but I haven't heard the whole thing yet: https://zenonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fermented-behaviour

    Just heard the whole thing , its fantastic ! Zenon definitely isnt dead .. Not by a stretch ..not even in anyone's wildest dreams!  This album is the reason why i wont give up on psytrance .. so glad i discovered this gem.

    A fish in a fish tank is my favorite, ironically i think fermented behavior is the weakest track here . But with an album this powerful its easy to ignore any weak tracks. 

    Top top stuff this. 

  7. I think soundcloud is the best application for music due to its background feature that enables the listener to carry on other tasks while listening to music .

    YouTube although great for the amount of music it has , the app cannot be minimized without losing the audio of the track you're listening to , unless i have missed some upgrade? :P 

    So please posts the artists / festivals  you guys are following on soundcloud for release updates , sample tracks , full tracks and DJ's for their sets ? 

    Im following just a handful eg Zen Mechanics & Suduaya but am looking for a wider selection. 

    Please feel free to post music from other psy influenced genres (if applicable)  that is worth mentioning as well. ( psytechno, psytechhouse , deeppsyhouse etc :lol:

    Thanks in advance :D 

  8. 2x Minirg + 1x Minisub.

    https://minirigs.co.uk/shop

    Im sold ! checked out some reviews and most say it has a cult following , love the simple design and the fact that it comes with a sub-woofer . they even have worldwide shipping ! 

     

    bit of a problem is that it is a bit off budget but for this i can make an exception

     

    now the real problem " I understand The new MRBT-2 Minirig comes with the latest Bluetooth 4.2 software "

     

    one review said this might prevent daisy chaining using analogue cables with the old minirigs (im not even sure how this makes sense since daisy chaining shouldnt have anything to do with bluetooth tech)  but thats not a show stopper since i dont own the old minirigs , im just wondering if this could lead to a compatibility issue connecting to the standard smartphone / laptop bluetooth functionality ? 

     

    Also if i buy both the minirigs , will i be able to connect to both wirelessly using BT given the standard procedure allows pairing and connecting to just one device at a time ? 

     

    Ps - do you own this baby?

  9. Ive got my eyes set on the bose revolve .. very boomy sound. Was very impressed with the demo , sounded atleast 2X of the soundlink

    Pros : 360 degree omnidirectionality , very good battery back up , doesnt heat up

     

    There is also B&O's beoplay a1 which has very true trebly sound but the only issue is the 180 degree omnidirectionality and the fact that it heats up very fast

     

    I have been checking on youtube for comparative reviews between the 2 but still havent made up my mind

     

    Are there any other speakers in the range of 300-350 $ that you could recommend ?

     

    Thanks for your time

  10. @exotic your track is perfect for a mushroom trip.

     

    Im sorry but i love too much psytrance to just pick one track

    The youtube version doesnt sound up to the mark . 

     

    which psychedelic personality? I have too many...

    Ok let me put it this way ..   if you were to sign off as a musical carbon based psychedelic lifeform which track would you bring to life as yourself ? 

  11. Sorry for your loss . Life is brutal and no one gets out of here alive.

     

    Live each second to the HILT. 

     

    I lost my real sister 6 years ago and its still hard to come to terms . A very inexplicable feeling , like you said

  12. I'm actually curious about that - what is it exactly that you expect that isn't there? For me this is the closest we ever got to Classical or B.P.Empire in last 16 years: there's a lot of classical / theatrical (i.e. not typically psytrance-y) melodies in there, there's a lot of crazy sound manipulation, there's a lot of energy and minimal amount of singing. Is it a problem that they introduce all this while sounding a bit more modern, with dubstep or glitch techniques ("catering to modern EDM")?

     

    Not saying this is a 5/5 meterial or whatever, but the amount of negativity astounds me! This new album is the Infected Mushroom with rockstar image dialled all the way down, which - I thought - was all that we asked for, because otherwise their music was always top notch.

    Well to be honest i just skimmed through the tracks looking for something to hold on to , something to get my groove on to and those moments didnt come . Maybe its that feeling ive heard it all before and there is nothing new ? I know this is a very generic statement when you want to dismiss an album outright but i feel this is the truth because i did give it a fair chance . From what i could tell in those 30 odd minutes while driving to work, Groove attack is probably the only track that manages to hold my attention and despite that  its way too minimal in approach and execution, other tracks have too many moments of this experiment with weird sound manipulations where nothing really happens other than to showcase some sort of sound evolution , far too many build ups not leading to any peak . IMO they have tried to play the fine line to not get too pure/arty/ inaccessible or too commercial/dubsteppy with vocals and thats where it  comes up short , the new EDM crowd will love it and go nuts ( they probably already are ) , i consider myself a purist and this falls way below what i would consider good psytrance . 

     

    Again this isnt the worst release ever , just weak sauce and not return to the sauce :)
