Why?

In The Mouth Of Madness is the best MR track and IMO the best new school track ever (Sky Input album excluded).
The track is unbelievable.
I wasn't sure at first, originally I thought the title track was even better, but now I believe that you're right. What a magnificent track that is influenced by old-school goa masters but actually exceeds them. It transitions seamlessly between moods, building momentum and intensity before dissipating it all in a moment of complte madness.
The 303 that comes in at 1:30 is absolutely ripping and already makes this better than the Cydonia track it's based on. When you get to the ending with the hysterical laughter and pitching downwards effect it's spinetingling as you wonder WTF just hit you. At some point you transitioned into a deranged world without even realising it. Phenomenal.

I had no idea that Darshan were making prog house before goa (there's a nice 303 that comes in around 3:00 though):
What other goa artists made music in different genres?

Definitely one of the very best releases of last year, big props to this artist for not compromising his classic sound.

Really interesting premise in this thread, and cool to see all those quotes gathered in one place which you do notice when you read old reviews from the early noughties.
About oldschool goa aging like fine wine - from the perspective of more novice ears that only discovered goa around 2010, I often found those comments about certain albums sounding "dated" to be confusing. My perception of what sounds "dated" and not doesn't match up with reviewers back at the time. Juno Reactor, X-Dream, Astral Projection can have a sound which feels very dated to me (not necessarily in a bad way!). Other artists from the late 90s can still sound shockingly fresh: Koxbox, Sandman, Pigs in Space for example.
I can't particularly highlight what features of the music create those effects though; just a function of the scenes and production you've been exposed to?

Dzog Chen is an absolute masterpiece!

You didn't miss anything on pages 2 and 3, it was just hilarious ridiculousness.

Wow, it sounds like listening to a really great track underwater.
Also, the label's response to pd_'s review of that album on Discogs is hilarious.

This album is a real grower. My favourite is Spiral Dive.

I will post vocal samples if you don't mind, first track that comes to mind is Asura - Like a summer day
The sample is some politics talk about Iran, why?
Does not fit the music at all.Or the sample in Simply Blue which is a police report about a drunken and disorderly neighbour!

Something that makes you say "why on earth???" when you hear it in a track
To be fair, I think that during every 1200 Mics track... I think that's the idea!

Great recommendations judging from the ones that I've seen already. I'll definitely watch the whole set, apart from perhaps Begotten, which doesn't look like much fun.
Based on your recommendation and that of a friend I saw Antibirth this week. It was great, just a shame that it had all the elements of becoming an AMAZING film but didn't quite hold together in the end. I mean, part of reason why I love this 'genre' is that the films don't necessarily hold together on a plot-level but manifest strong subconscious themes, however Antibirth also got tangled up in its subconscious symbolism, squandering the psychologically scarring power which its forebears (Rosemary's Baby and Jacob's Ladder) have. However I wouldn't be surprised if director Danny Perez comes up with a classic of the genre in 4-5 years time.

I see it like this: When artists create their music because they know beforehand that style will appeal to the big crowd and only want to do it because of that reason, then it is commercial. When artists create a track because they feel it might induce a trance state to certain listeners, then it is not commercial. If the latter appeals to most listeners just because it is decent and musical, and the artist ends up making a lot of money from it, it is still not "commercial" for me.
I don't understand how the intention of the artist can define whether something is commercial or not. For a start, we can't fully know the intentions of the artist. Some become commercially successfully without meaning to. I think it's qualities of the music itself that define whether something is commercial: such things as unchallenging rhythms, cliched melodies, overproduction, etc.

Some might find this too generic but I love the sound design from 3:30 onwards:
-
Magic Frequencies is astonishingly good, swirling analogue melodic layers dancing and warping in and out of each other, neither predominantly light or dark; an abrupt and spine-tingling pitch-bending ending.
-
Such gorgeous production on this one.

Listening to this again the similarities with peak oldschool Etnica struck me, especially in the arrangements and peripheral sounds. Amazing goa album, one of the very best released in the last 10 years in my opinion. It's full of bouncy, funky energy, keeps catching you by surprise, and above all is a lot of fun to listen to.

Too many to list, but Pigs in Space Visitors springs to mind
-
I was wrong, Granada and Vorlan are also top-tier tracks! Orient Express is still king though
-
No problem.
It's sad what has happened to online forums. Five years ago, this lost tracks request would have been answered in hours...

I haven't checked this album yet, but I'm interested to hear reviewers say the tracks are poorly organised and don't really progress satisfactorily. In my opinion, Psychowave tracks like Moon Bindi (one of the very best goa tracks from the last 5 years!) and Supernova have some of the most psychedelic progression and flow I've heard in goa. Reminiscent of Koxbox in how lots of different colourful ideas are woven tightly together without big buildups or repetition. I'll be listening to this album and report whether I share the consensus view here.

It doesn't change your opinion on the track at all though does it? In my mind In The Mouth of Madness borrows some great ideas from that track but adds a lot of its own and turns the whole thing into a torpedo that's tighter, more intense and better produced than any source material
