@ma05683 : This is just that I find more interesting when we're exchanging word on a track then just simply giving hundred links of track without say any comment. In my mind that's more constructiv, but here again this is my opinion. @radi : as someone else said, what define a summer track use a lot of subjectiv criterions !

I've not listened to enough full release of 2013 to say my top 5....Actually I do listen to a lot of Goa / psy trance, but Im listening to old as new one, since Im involved in goa trance since only 2 years, so I need more time than the other to have listened to new stuff. All I can say is that I would include V/A - Goa trance Revolution in my top 5. Im gonna give a hear to U Recken - Light at the End of the world, since it's one of my fav psy trance artist. I only heard "Africa calling" since now and I found it not very good !

@ma05683 I do share same opinion as Radi : Why do you only post link of video without saying anything on video we posted before or without saying something on the video you're posting ? It would give us some interested in order to listen to the song then, because simply posting the video url just don't make me want to listen to it.

In my personnal opinion in has something to do with drugs...Seriously man, Dark psytrance is the Psychedelic genre that I listen to the less and that I apreciate the less, but when Im under drug influence (Cannabis), it completly change it, I like it then !

Radi, I guess you're looking for girl who do like and listen regularly to Psychedelic Trance song ? Then, why do you try to get girl involved into this Genre of Music ? Wouldn't be easier to go at some goa partie and meet some girl who already know what Goa trance is and who at least enjoy dancing on it ? You'll better chance doing it, in my opinion.

Yeah, Jaia & Tajmahal - Rebirth is a good track to define summer - but a nice journey of summer, not night, this time . Well actually it's very peacefully and beautiful like mai mai, but the fact is that to me mai mai really sound like a nice journey with blue sky and all, not specially summer as I said. Nice track that you picked up mantra604, and the best is that I discovered this song from jaia like 4-5 days ago !

I took a listen to AP - god is a dj, and yeah, that's not a bad track for summer, but more for the night then !

@radi : Well I don't know for your track, but someone said that "Artifact303 - Tropical sunset" made him think about summer, and Im agree with this opinion, to me this track sound like a summer goa track, Relaxing, having nice energy, with nice rythmic and pretty background sound, who remind of the great blue sky. I haven't listened to all your track, but I took an example in order to tell you why I think this or this doesn't sound like summer. And after all, don't forget it's only my opinion

To me, Mai Mai from Jaia doesn't have anything with Spring or Summer. It just have to do with the beginning of a big beautiful day, with awesome blue sky and all...This is my opinion. So, it may happend in Spring like in Summer, altought it has more chance to happend in Summer. Radi, I listened to some of your track, and it really made me think about Summer. Well I didn't listen to all but I listenend to Celic Cross - Darshannon, nice one, but it doesn't make me think of summer, more of alp or nice mountain, and Man with no name - Moment of Truth, didn't like it much and doesn't make me think about summer (But it's probably a matter of taste here : Im certainly not a big fan or Man with no name !). If I had to pick up track which one would define "The summer", as you said, I would pick up this one : It somehow make me think about summer night ! Of course this is completly different from Goa trance track, since it's progressive psytrance !

+1

hahaha nice one bro !

Hahaha, it doesn't look as a waste of time but you'll need more than 50 tryout if you want it to work !

Yea, YSE made some good release too, there's no doubt ! Don't forget that the album "The secret of meditation", from Atma, were realised under this label !

Well the alone Goa releases you may find are...Yellow Sunshine Record's release, which are known to be very commercial (I means, you know how much release they drop every month, I read somewhere it was like 1 release every 2 week. How can you give good compilation doing it like it ? There's no way). I got three compilation from them, it was my first release and I didn't know how to buy Goa trance album this time. Now I know that most goa album are selled on the internet. I bought "V/A Goa trance revolution" this way. Still, I could buy two compilation which aren't labelled by YSE and which sound correct. Goa legends vol 1 and Progressive Goa 2012 vol 1. Actually I didn't find the track I suggested by doing it this way .

Hahah, those are epic T-shirt ! Would definitly pick up this one too !

Ok, like if you wanted to be able to tell the history of Psychedelic Trance thought your collection ? I perfectly understand then ! If you want to buy it, you can find it on this compilation : V/A - Goa legends vol 1. You maybe won't even need to buy it online : I bought mine in a famous shop where you can find all kind of CD's. Im gonna search some more shity full on song in order to complete your library .

Ok, since I already give label name, album and artist title in topic's name, I will add all these as tags as well. What do you means by mastering ? You means the guy who has done the mastering ?

Of course, he probably has Greek influence, I never denied that ! However, from a political point, he's french. It's just what I wanted to say haha. But you're probably right Radi, lot of his song sound a bit greek, due to the lot of melodies he includes, and due to how those melodies does sound. It's just that for me, if there is anything that definitly sound greek, it is the Uplifting genre.

He's born in France, so he got french natonality because in France it's the jus soli that is applicated . Whatever his parent nationality are (I did a mistake in a previous message, sorry for that). And infected_goa confirmed that jaia were 100% french.

Great track ! I really enjoyed listening to it !

i've a question and I don't know where to ask it, so I do it here. Shall I add some tags when writting some reviews (and opening a new topic for it) ? It may look as stupid question, but like the autor and the title of the album is already in the title of the topic, I dont know what to add as Tags.

You know, by my aera most people listen to commerical shit - only realized in the optic of seeling the more they can-. If you go to the bar or in Night club, you're gonna hear this kind of music. If you want to hear psychedelic trance song, you need to know the good person, in order to be invited to the local goa party. I do know a lot of those people, that's why Im up to date with most of parties going on around my region. I think this is globally the same for every place ; if you want to meet people listening to psychedelic trance, you need to search and go to them. I've to add that most of the people I meet in thoses goa parties aren't listening to a lot of goa trance. Some people only listen to it when going at party ! And a lot of people only listen to this when under drug influence...But hey, I think it has always been this way, and I know there are people who really enjo listening to the psychedelic genre music !

Information : Artist : Phobia Title : Adaptation Label : Tactic Records Date : 24 June 2008 Genre : Psy-trance Tracklist : 1. Misconduct 2. Third Stream 3. Mix Shake 4. Grind (Phobia Remix) 5. Plant Yourself 6. Adaptation 7. Night Parade 8. Culture Hall 9. The Rite of Spring 10. Counter Point Review : Phobia, the psychedelic trance project (Don't confuse it with the drum n bass artist), made one, and only one Album, called Adaptation. It has not reach a high succes, however it does not remove anything to the great quality and to the amazing tracks of this album. The most known track made by Phobia is surely Turbulence, which one isn't include in this album. Let's have a further look in this album ! Miscondust : The first track of this album is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! It start with some Piano notes and finish in a whole symphony ! On 1:08, Phobia give the song it's kick and bassline. Fast come background sounds and melodies. The song grow up, than come a break, and so on. All that is greatly done, but the best is coming later. At 3:08, you can clearly hear the main melodies coming up, and on 3:25 the whole stuff is just released. Waouv ! Amazing melodies, never heard such thing in any other Psychedelic trance song. It seriously sound like a Mozart melody, in a modern way, under a psychedelic form. At 4:24 come a break, but fast the main melody come back, this time it sound differently than before, and I've to say this second part of the song is a little bit disappointing. I mean, it's still good, going with build up and break, it kept the great melody, but it isn't as good as the first part of the song. Well anyway, how could Phobia throw it better than he did in the first part ? Anyway, a great song, for sure the best of the album, and one of the best Psychedelic Trance song I ever heard ! Third Stream : The song start with some strange sound, but then come the great bassline with nice kick. Everything is building up and on 1:27, Phobia just release all that to give the song a nice dynamic. Later you can hear a sample and some background sounds. I personnaly like it, it give this song a nice atmosphere, not as deep as an Atma song, but still phobia is doing it well. However, the melodies are less present than it was in the previous song. You have to wait until 5:27 to be able to hear the main melody. But then, it come, and ooh boy, it come very nicely, growning up slowly but surely ! And on 6:00 the whole stuff is just droped. Pretty good song, however the main melody could have been more worked. Mix shake : This time Phobia starts it with a melody, and than the song is growing up. In this track, voice samples are used a lot. I like how Phobia edited the voice samples and played with it during the whole song. Sur, it's not as good as how Infected Mushroom does it, but it's still nicely done. On 2:17 come the bassline and kick, and for sure everyone aren't going to like it, however I do. With the voice sample that come then, it just give this track a nice rythmic. On 3:59, you can hear some acid sounds, which actualy fits well with the song. And at 5:17, you can clearly hear the main melody. Very nice, sounding like if Mozart made it, seriously ! And than Phobia add the bassline, and everything is greatly growing up, with another melody in background. At 6:10, the song is clearly taking another dimension, playing with the melodies, giving the whole track a great dynamic and power. The basslines aren't exceptionnal, it's quite basic bassline, but the melody are greatly done, you can feel that Phobia worked a lot on them. Another great song ! Grind (Phobia remix) : This is a remix of the song "Grind", made by Tactic Mind and Loud. This track sound differently from the other one of the album. It has a darker Atmosphere, with a heavier kick. The song isn't very interesting until 3:23 . Until there, except nice edited voice samples, there's nothing extraordinary. But on 3:23, the song is growing up, and on 3:35 it's just amazing ! Very nice bassline and kick. Another big break, and the whole thing is going on again on 5:15. Nice background melody and nice growing up stuff ! It's on 5:44 that the entire thing is just droped. That's nice, but not as good as in the other track of the album. Overall, a correct track but far away from the first one ! Plant yourself : Again, some voice sample, growing up stuff, and at 0:55 come kick and the nice bassline. As in the other song, background melodies and some acid sounds are used to build the track up. I don't like much the background sound on 2:31, that doesn't sound very well, but except that, there's not much things to say : the track is nicely builded up, but it miss of something big, with a great melody, at the middle of the song. But it's at 5:00 that the song is being great. a voice sample come with a background melody - which is slowly growing up, until reaching it's higher point. And on 5:42, you can hear an amazing symphony, a great combinaison realized with kick, bassline, snare, hat, melodies and spacy sounds...Something that, again, I've never heard in any other Psychedelic Trance song, except in the other track of this album. A good track, but why do we have to wait so long to realize that the track is so amazing ? Could be better if the first part of the song included more melodies ! Adaptation : Another song with some good melodies ! However, in this one, except the good melodies, there's nothing that stand out of the track ! It's still nicely going on, with good ascents and break, but the track isn't amazing. Not a bad song, but the worse one of the album. Night Parade : The song start with a strange sound, I don't really like it. Then, as for the other track, come the kick and bassline. It's not bad, but it's a bit getting repetitiv. I means, the bassline isn't amazing, backgrouds effects sound are still made of good quality, but there's nothing exceptionnal. But the "second" part of the song (I means after the big break at the middle of the song), at 4:20, changes everything. It's slowly but surely growing up, using a voice sample from the famous film "8 Miles" (I was watching this film the other day, when suddenly I heard someone speaking in the film, and my brain was like "Oooh I already heard that in a psychedelic trance song !"). And on 4:59, Phobia is giving all the stuff he got, to give this track a great dynamic, with nice melodies and background sounds. But here again, why do we have to wait all this time to be able to hear this nice builded up stuff ? So, not a bad song, but I would say that the first part of the song isn't very good. It's in the second part of the song that things are good ! Culture Hall : This song contains some french samples, which you do not often hear in Psychedelic trance song (Except in some Jaia's song). It uses nice effects and background sounds, but as for the other song, the first part of the track isn't very amazing. It's when come a big break, at the middle of the song, and especially when everything is dropped, at 4:39, that this track is getting awesome. At 4:39, there's a very nice bassline with nice melody going on in background. At 6:25, the song reach it's higher point. This is at this moment that the whole symphony is going on, with good kick and bassline, awesome background effect and a great melody ! A good track, but the first part of the track still need few improvements. The rite of Spring : One of my favourite song of the album, because you don't have to wait the middle of the song to hear something exceptionnal. During the whole song, Phobia use edited voice samples and some melodies to build up this great track. On 1:56, by example, the voices samples goes very well with the rest of the song. I've to say the kick is very powerfull and the bassline is quite good. Sure, that doesn't sound like any other psychedelic trance track, but this is also what make this track so original and pleasant to listen. There is always something different going on. By example, at 3:17, a nice melody grows up in background. There isn't any moment where you find it repetitiv, Phobia always give you something awesome to listen. On 3:56, it's just amazing how the melody sounds good ! Counter Point : Here we go with last track of the album. Another song with many melodies, accompanied with nice bassline and kick. I've to say that at the beginning of the song, it contains the melodies that I do like the less of the entire album. It's correct, but it could have be better if the melodies were simply different at the start. However, this sound like something fresh in the psychedelic trance genre, something that I've never heard before, and this contribute to make this album so particular. In the second part of the song (starting at 5:30, slowly building up and going to a very nice melody !), you can hear a very nice melody with nice background sounds. And on 6:09, you have another great symphony, with amazing melody, later accompanied with samples that fit it very well. A very nice track, not one of the best of the album, but still a good one ! Overall : Adaptation is definitly an amazing psy-trance album ! Every track sounds like not any other psy-trance track does, which make it very fresh and pleasent to listen. Almost every songs contain incredible melodies, with great ascents and break, leading to awesome symphony ! Just damn it that for a lot of track, the second part, when everythings stop and when come a big break and then when the song build up again, is the best part of the song. Often, the first part only lay the foundation of the track with the kick, the basslines and some backgrounds sound. A lot of track could have been better if the main melody were use since the start of the track to build something big. The first track of the album is a great example : since the debut of the song, you can hear the main melody, but it's only at the middle of the song that you hear this melody at it's best point, when it's totally developped. Sure, it's also a question of personnal taste, and everybody aren't going to be agree with my opinion, but this is one of my favourite psychedelic trance album. I never ever heard such symphonies in any other Psychedelic trance song, that what make this Album so good. Best track : 1, 9 Worst track : 6 Rating : 9/10 To buy it : Psyshop Discogs Amazon

Yay, I was gonna say it, if there's something you can say that sound like a country, it's Nitzhonot / Uplifiting. Uplifting is more often made by Greek Artist, so it does sound more Greek. Nitzhonot is mostly produce by Israelian guys, so it's more Israelian sound like.

Well I do live in a part of Switzerland which is not very big, with no big cities (The biggest one of my region have like 12'000 people living in it...Yes, it's not much, I know !) but still we have some goa/psy trance parties ! First of all, every year we've our New year Psychedelic trance festival, called Timegate. I went 2 times there and what is played is mostly Psy-trance and Progressive Psytrance. There's also some people who organize some local goa parties, with few people (Never more than 50-60 people) but with serious Dj and good organisation. What is played there is mostly Dark - Psytrance, unfortunately for me this is the Psychedelic genre that I like the less (I still like it of course). And shame on it, there's nothing where you can listen to pure oldschool or newschool Goa trance around here...I talk about big events, of course if you meet me somewhere where I can put my Ipod touch and listen to it you're gonna hear Goa trance for sure !
