I never agreed that my Copyright would expire or get handed over to another label. This would not work in the first place because all 3 albums have CD releases and the physical CDs cannot be pulled out of distribution, in fact sounds of cosmic lifeforms is still sold at psyshop etc. You cannot tell a shop to remove certain CDs because the Copyright expired, so a contract like that is impossible in the fist place.
But i also do not have a written contract, it was just emails 10years ago, at that time no one cared about the release (it was unreleased for 10 years at that point), so i didn't think this would become an issue in the future.

Jos Vranken of Classic Goa Tracks wants to remove the Phototopic releases of the Synsun albums by claiming that the Copyright is "long overdue" and the albums are now owned by Classic Goa Tracks.
The purpose of suing is to remove the Phototropic versions of the releases.
-
No, it is real.
Jos Vranken claims, according to the lawyer, that the albums are "still claimed by Phototropic Records, even if the contract is not applicable anymore".
-
Well i got a letter from a lawyer today about the releases
Synsun - Full Power of Goa and Synsun - Sounds of Cosmic Lifeforms.
In it the lawyer claims that i violate the rights that Classic Goa tracks has for these tracks and that it my contract is "long due", and therefore i lost the right to the tracks and i have to pay the lawyer.
I didn't know at that time that my rights got lost at some point in time and also i was not contacted before that in any way by Classic Goa Tracks, the first contact was the letter by the lawyer.
I am now contacting Synsun to resolve the issue.

I kind of feel the overall vibe has changed, while i loved Goatrance ~2010 the music did not progress, but everything else did. I still love the classic tracks of the newschool goa vibe but it seems new tracks cannot reach up anymore, it almost feels like holding on to something that does not really exist anymore.
During the peak of the second goa wave we kind of had tailwind and everything came together in a great way, but now it feels like walking upwards.
The best chance for this music i see in newer techno tracks, slower and more acceptable for normal listeners.

Looks pretty shady to me, but on the other hand those artists - or at least those releases - are absent from Bandcamp (like Koxbox's "U-Turn" is not in Twisted Rec. profile) so perhaps they somehow got together to release stuff like this way? There's this weird "consistency" to their catalogue and if it wasn't legit it could well include lots more of much more diverse music, right? For now I've refrained from getting anything there, but I'll be observing this.
Any thoughts?
The sound quality is fantastic. They really put some work into those old tracks. Great label!

Can anyone help me out?

I also know of very bad experiences with Israelis.
Someone i know organized festivals every year, until one year he decides to let a (well known) Israeli organize things.
Of course, a lot of artists from Israel were hired and the festival was a desastrous.
One Israeli raped a girl in the parking spot and fled the country before he could get arrested.
The Israeli DJs who were staying in a hotel damaged the rooms so badly that the organizer had to pay thousands of euros
to have them repaired.
The festivals before the Israeli organized one were all a financial success, the Israeli one had a loss of more than 30.000euro.
The guy who hired the Israeli never made another festival after that experience.

Very good album. Thumbs up!

Sounds very good!

Sounds brighter , fuller , better quality . Early version sounded dated.
You better stop lying about my mastering, and stop putting it down. The new version only has more treble, which puts hi-hats etc. in the foreground and melodies in the background.
Also it sounds like it was made from the old mastered tracks, not from the original unmastered ones.

Stirring up some drama (@Dolmot: thanks) will hopefully make someone actually listen to the mentioned track 80 000 Pounds of Crude. Another excellent track is Tofu. And what comes to me this is my way: "There was never even an option for me to let anything or anybody come between me and music" -Alexi Laiho
I too was a supporter of Filipe a few years ago. But now i changed my mind. The most important thing is your own integrity and holding your boundaries. Therefore, i no longer support his lies (like his initial denial that he is behind submoon) or his manipulations for the sake of good music. I will not trade my dignity or the truth about things for anything anymore. But i admit, i had to learn this the hard way, but because of that, i have come to the very strong conclusion that supporting liars or narcissts will not get you anywhere in life.

I guess we willl witness the day when 50% of Goa artists is just Filipe and his aliases. This year alone he invented 15 new artists, thats more than real artists joined in...

I am not so happy with this album. People have been complaining about Filipes albums beeing so narrow, but this is even much narrower. The album sounds like its 1 long track..
-
Beyond the Astral Worlds is superawesome. The best Siam track so far in my opinion. It has everything: modern sound, lots of energy and great spiritual melodies!

Phototropic was releasing when there were only a few releases each year... now i can't even keep up listening to all the new Goa.
So Phototropic releasing is hibernating until the Goa vibe needs some more help.
There is the Phototropic party division too, which is quite unnoticed by the music people here (only some local freaks), so the label is not only the releases.
-
Great release. Serious spiritual downtempo stuff here.
I am listening to Rudra for days now and can't stop listening...
-
You received plenty of feedback.
Stop doing this. You have been asked many times by many different people. The next time I see you complain about one of your threads not getting enough responses I will be strongly tempted to lock the thread in question.
I suggest banning him completly. He is clearly a mentally deranged person who can't stop craving attention by running stupid schemes with the psynews people.

Ephedra-Trip Through The Heart Of The Galaxy really is great. That track alone makes it worth listening to this compilation.

Facebook also deleted the old Phototropic group. At that time it had ~370 members. The new one only has only 85 now...
Anyway, I don't really care about facebook anymore, i hope one day this hype is over and we can all promote our stuff in a normal way again.

I like it very much. The Cosmic Dimension EP was very good already, and this album is even better
-
The preview sounds very promising!!

Its been some time since a real Goatrance party was held in Vienna, but Sebi is organizing one for 30th November. Here is the link: http://www.goabase.net/75001
Copyright bots tried to sue Phototropic records over a release on Classic Goa Trax. (Update: Issue resolved.)

You tried to get the Phototropic versions deleted by claiming my rights on the tracks "expired".
I hope you know the difference between re-releasing rare Goa albums and stealing releases from their original label.
