Wow, thank you a lot for all those information ! Yay, I know this track since so long time and I never could put a name on it, so thank you a lot ! Yea I love nitzhonot & nitzhogoa and this track is just amazing...Just damn it that this guys doesn't produce anymore ! Since I can share some word with you, just wanted to tell you that I loved your album "Horizon in your head", just amazing ! You're definitly the succesion of Nitzhonot, would love to see you play live at a party !

Take a listen at Atma - the Guide One of best Psybient track I ever heard...And there is guys saying this album from Atma suck ! Shame on them !

I love old and recent Infected Mushroom song, many people doesn't like their last albums but that wasn't my case... I saw a video on youtube of an Infected Mushroom live in Israel...and Amit was singing a lot. Do they also play their old track back in live ? Because if they only play their recent track, where they used to integrate vocal from Amit, it just make the show loose of lot of it's magik, I mean their first album track are so awesome !

@K-BAN => I haven't any T-Shirt of that kind, as someone else said I usually spent more money on album and goa festival & parties. Your green nun of the revolution T-shirt look terribly nice ! If I would buy one, that would be definitly one that has an artist name on it !

I can't say for Totemism, I didn't listen to this album. I will surely do it when I've some time ! I see you named Black and White...I didn't think I would find someone who know this psy-trance project on this forum ! I relly enjoy listening to their track...The best one from them is definitly 20 vor 7, both original and remixed one are excellent ! I don't know if you share this opinion !

Personnaly I would classify it as Goa trance If I had put Progressive psytrance, I should have also put Full on, dark psytrance and nitzhonot ...! This is why I regrouped it in two gender in this topic : Goa trance, for goa trance and nitzhonot And Psytrance, for psy, progressive psy and dark psy trance...And full on xD But if I had to pick my favorite progressive psytrance album...Hm, would go for Fiction from Jaïa ! I love progressive psytrance but I rarely listen to a whole album, it's more track by track or with artist that I listen to it

Well, take a hear at this This send you directly to the middle of the track, when tripplets come, but you can listen to the entire song, that's an amazing track ! Look at how the triplet help giving this track a good rythmic. The snare does it very well too ! I don't even speak of the atmosphere of this track...So wonderful ! I've had the luck to have seen Zen Mechanics playing it live at Timegate 2012 ! It was fantastic ! It has even been recorded ! If you wan't to see it, it's here

Sur, using only triplet to make public dance is not that good... But making a dynamic and powerfull Rythmic with the help of triplet can make a really good stuff ! As Rotwang said, I think it's more about fact that those triplet are overused

Trust in Trance from AP is such a classic one ! I would also have choosen it...if Blue energy from Jaia weren't that good I can't say much on Radio from X-dream since I know less this project, but I will soon listen to this album to have some opinion on it

Waouv, thanx for those informations ! I really didn't know all that about this Bom Shankar track. Im listening right now to The sound of Goa by California Sunshine as you recommanded me and I must say this is just amazing ! I even like it more than the Bom shankar track, from Indoor ! If I get it, they made Boom Shankar with Indoor and than California Sunshine decided to take back the melody to make a new track, The sound of Goa ? Correct me if Im wrong, I don't know all those Goa trance project very well

There's 4 ! The rules is one Goa trance and one Psy-trance ! You must make a choose haha ! Thanx all for participating, it give me idea of what to listen

Do you mean Black and White, the artist of Psy-trance who realized such thing like 20 for 7 ? ----- Edit Shame on me, it's black and white, the song by Astral Projection from the album Trust in Trance. Sorry for my mistake lol

Oh yeah, that must be this ! I didn't think he would us Psychedelic as an adjectiv Thank you for having clarified this !

Information : Artist : Atma Title : The Secrets of Meditation Label : Yellow Sunshine Explosion Date : 03 January 2009 Genre : Psy-trance Tracklist : 1. Intro 2. Fortress of the Mind 3. Timeless Solitude 4. The Secrets Of Meditation 5. Moments Of Truth 6. The Dome Of The New Era 7. Paranormal Activity 8. The Tomes Of Power 9. Spiritualism And Love 10. The Rise Of Overman Review : Here we go ! After it's first album, Beyond Good and Evil, Atma come back with another album, this time realized under another label : Yellow Sunshine Explosion...This label is know to be a massive "Goa" compilation production, and most of time they doesn't make good releases. But some time it happend that they give some good stuff, and trust me, this is what happend with this album from Atma ! Atma is well know for making tracks having strong kick with great bassline, accompanied with beautiful melodies. With this album he definitly confirmed that he's one of the pioneer of the Psy-trance scene. Intro : Not much to say about it, a short introduction, nothing really amazing there. Fortress of the Mind : The song start after a very short introduction, and here comme a pretty kick with nice bassline. Slowly but surely, some tune begin to grow up. In this track, Atma build up a fantastic atmosphere, spacy and deep. A nice song, althought melodies could have been more developped. Timeless Solitude : Definitly a very good track ! Still with a heavy kick and nice bassline, Atma create a complete atmosphere with this song : he builds the main melody using break, short light tune, and he rise his song with new tunes and melodies ! When you listen to this song, you really feel being in a Spaceship travelling out of the earth. Solid realisation, however instead of building a main melodie, Atma decided to come with some strange noisy sound at end of the track, wich is good and bad : good because it really enhance the atmosphere of the track, bad because it doesn't give this song a true powerful melody. The Secret of Meditation : What a track ! What a melody ! What a kick ! What a bassline ! Well, this is for me one of the best track of this album. The kick and bassline give a strong energy to the track, while the background tune establish the spacy atmosphere of this song. The voice samples fits also very well this track. On 1:47 come a break, and it's there that Atma decide to give the complete beautiful Melody of the song. And on 2:23, he throws all the element he got to give this track a powerfull energy. Rest of the song is filled with original tune, always giving something more to the song, and also filled with nice break. Amazing track, respect ! Moments Of Truth : The song start with a Piano melody, which is not one of the best melody of this album but which is ok. Than as for the other track, the whole stuff is coming with kick, bassline, tune in background making nice atmosphere. However, the main melody is really what I don't like in this song. I mean this melody at start sound ok, but it's when Atma developes it more that I don't like it. I don't know, this ain't a bad melody at all but this ain't neither a great melody too. At 5:37 it's getting better with nice background tune. A good track but one of the worse of this album (Still a good track !). The Dome Of The New Era : Very short intro to start, and fast come this loud kick with good bassline...Than the kick is raised up, a strong kick ! In this track, I don't like the melody but I love the background Tune, they are very nice and you really feel like being in another part of this world. At 5:36, Atma offer us a great breakdown part of this song, this is really amazing how he slow the track down keeping this spacy atmosphere ! And than he just give back to the track it's standard energy, doing it very well ! A very nice track, not by it's melodies, but by the technics used to make the structure of the track. Final melody make it sound like alien, very nice ! Paranormal Activity : No need to say that : great kick and bassline, always in the same kind of style but never the same as you hear in the other track. How to describe this song ? Nice melodies, good background tune who make you feel this track has been written on Mars (haha), and nice track's structure. That's a good track of this album, not one of the best but not one of the worse ! The Tomes Of Power : At start, you hear a voice sample, than come background tune and noise...Until here, everything is ok. Than come some breakdown, well brought. On 2:20 you can even hear some guitar's riff, the first you may hear in this album, and that fit well with the track. But then, come this horrible melody, at 2:33 (in background), wich for me just kill the track ! It's really a shame, all was great until there, but this melody doesn't fit at all with this track. It sound good, but I don't like how the note are thrown. I don't even talk about the melody going up on 4:08 : it sound good but note are not well thrown. Still it's an okay track, not bad but could be much better. Worse track of the album personnaly ! Spiritualism And Love : This track begin with a growing up volume, giving this song a little "introduction". The background tune are very nice. This is a more progressive track than the other (You could even find this track on Goa 2009 Vol 1, from YSE), but that's one of the best of the album ! Great break at 2:19, you really feel emotion hearing the melodies and background tunes. Nothing more to say ; good structure, amazing atmosphere, and very good sounds used. Very nice track ! The Rise Of Overman : Last track of this great album, and for the end Atma give the best. For me that is definitly the best track of this album, and one of the best of whole Atma's song until now ! Kick and bassline are good, but the best is for sure the melody. At 1:52 you can clearly hear it. Man ! That's it ! Spacy, deep, light but strong ! How can you make it better ? Excellent tune in background too. This track as also a great energy. I feel so many emotion with the amazing melodies you find in this track. Good structure of the track too. Overall : What an album ! For every song, it's the the same recipe : building the atmosphere with background tune and giving energy with kick and bassline. Atma does it for every track but it always sounds good and it's never getting repetitiv, it's what make this album great ! Most of the melodies used are beautiful. The presence of amazing song like "Secret of Meditation", "Spiritualism and Love" and "The Rise of Overman" make this album a must-have for those who love Psychedelic Trance ! Best Track : 4, 9, 10. Worst track : 5, 8. Rating : 8,5/10 To buy it : Psyshop Amazon Itunes

Completly agree on this ; this is how newschool goa should be for me....And yeah, definitly I think Laughing Skull is a very good track, as I said second best of this compilation for me

By psy-trance I do not especialy mean newer stuff. To clarify it, let me give you some example : For me, "The gathering", from infected mushroom, is a psy-trance album and you can't really say it's new (1999 -> 14 year old...) But of course psytrance is now much more present in actual scene then it was in the past...And of course I didn't separate Full on And psytrance ^^

If you had to choose only two album, more exactly, one of Goa-trance kind (Means nitzhonot and nitzhogoa are include in it) and the other one of Psy-trance kind (It means fullon, dark-psytrance and progressive psytrance are include in it), what would it be ? My personnal choice : For Goa-trance : Blue Energy, from Jaïa From Psy-trance : Adaptation, from Phobia (Guest most of you probably never heard of it, but it's very good)

Im new to this forum but all I want to say you is : -No, don't stop posting on this forum, I think this forum really need active people -If you creat thread only for having a lot of replies and expecting it will happend, well, it's a bit disappointing. I means you can't force people answering you. damn ! We're here for speak about psychedelic trance, and Im already pretty happy to see that there's a such forum about it, so asking many replies it's asking much

Well, I actually consider that Psychedelic Trance is a general Style which encompass different style. To me, Psychedelic Trance encompass the next style : -goa trance -Psy-trance -Full-on (I don't make any difference between "comtemporary" fullon and the fullon from 2003, like you said) -Nitzhonot -Nizthogoa -Dark Psytrance I might forget some kind of style, but here is it, as long as a song fit in one of these categories, it means he below to "Psychedelic Trance". I think why we both don't considere it as psychedelic trance is that because you divide the full-on in two part, and one of this part isn't even anymore in the "Psychedelic Trance" tree anymore for you, but I don't understand why lol.

Well, as I discovered Indoor with this compilation, I went to discogs in order to see if this track was already realized on another CD. And of what I saw in discogs the answer is no, but I might be wrong. So yes, it look like it's a new one from indoor ! Thank you, appreciation are always welcome when you spent lot of time on review

It seem like between Vimana and Trip tonite, we don't really know what to choose.... However my preference goes to this of Trip tonite (Made by Etnica itself if Im not wrong)

Ok, I must admit I was wrong on this point.

Well, let me clarify something : To me people who are doing juggling or playing with fire are giving a kind of show, I've nothing against it, I like to see them performing such thing, but to me it's different from the people who come to party in order to listen to Psychedelic trance AND dance. Dancing as a lot to do with the Psychedelic Trance to me, I mean you don't necessary need to dance to appreciate it (Surely no !) but dancing on it with the smile in a great ambiance give to this music another dimension. Of course, you can prepare a special dance and perform it as a show at the party, in this case I would consider it the same way as doing juggling or playing with fire ! But preparing a dance just for dance somehow well at a goa party, this is what I find stupid. Because you don't need any preparation if you want to go at a goa party, I means you don't have to dance well enough or to have listened to enough song to appreciate the show (The only preparation you may need is a mental preparation !). I don't know if made my opinion clear enough with this post, english is not my native language so it give me the task difficult in order to make it correctly

Yay, thanx. I was surprised that nobody already made a review of it ! Took me some time to make it but I really wanted to share my point of view on this great compilation. Im probably gonna make some other review.

Well, now that you say it, I must admit that I've over used the exclamation points. There's like two every lines lol ! Thanx for your appreciation, I was afraid people found this review too long and uninteresting but I see it wasn't the case !
