  1. Black Mirror is an outstanding TV show. The third season was even better than the first. I definitely think that people interested in psytrance, particularly the darker side of it, would enjoy it.
  2. Never really paid this one much mind before, but I dug it out the other day, and had a blast with it. Perfect example of music that will take your body and soul to another dimension if you are in the right frame of mind, but is hard to understand otherwise. Brilliant blend of ripping acid, sci-fi atmospheres, Eastern spirituality, and judicious use of samples. Some moments remind me of 'tribal industrial', check out the track This Morn Omina - Taliesin after listening to Life Circles, for instance, they seem to be trying to achieve a similar effect.
  3. Everyone mentions Vitan when NDMA comes up, but this other track is also a wonderful psychedelic builder:
  4. Lost Worlds is in my neogoa top 5 without a doubt.
  5. Without a doubt What Happened To Utopia? Especially if you can get hold of the two disc edition, the second disc is one of the best ambient works ever, extremely lush and hypnotic, just like Global Communication but EVEN BETTER. You heard it here first...
  6. Cheers all, these are exactly the kinds of tracks I'm looking for. Sounds nice but we're no longer in the days of the Nurse With Wound list. Even the weirdest stuff can be found in minutes these days, and because almost everything is on Youtube, most people won't bother to look any further. After all, there's a million and one other recommendations to check out...
  7. SE Asia? I live in London, if anyone else is around and half as passionate about oldschool goa as me then get in touch
  8. This thread is for sharing great oldschool psychedelic tracks that don't come up so often (as they aren't part of famous artist albums) and deserve sharing. A set of Israeli tracks to start off with:
  9. Thumbs up from me. Open mindedness towards everything, there is something to learn from every experience.
  10. 1) Important message. The takeaway: if information sources are personally attacking the people raising issues rather than their ideas, they are likely part of a disinformation campaign. I've seen it many times before. I would have liked to have seen more concrete examples regarding Wikipedia though, and a more positive message about it. 2) Ron Paul simply states what much of the rest of the world thinks about USA foreign policy This is a better talk than 1) in a similar area imo:
  11. 320kbps mp3 is fine, even 256kbps is fine, listen to the double blind studies, not what people tell you.
  12. Weird, I was going to necromance this thread the other day too, and just to say how f***ing good the track in the OP is, and how it reminds me of Ministry, and it's basically industrial metal, so it's totally the wrong track to use talking about psytrance in politics. As for music in general, there is a place for politics in some genres, not in others. After all, that's what genres are, variety is the spice of life etc Can you elaborate? Psytrance is all about hedonism.
  13. Yeah, that's a really special track. Reminds me of NDMA because it's more than the sum of its parts, a real journey. Totally nails the mystical Eastern atmosphere. Thanks for clearing up the meaning of Rajasthani couple! Yes that's a great one! I think though out of the stuff he's released recently (and I've only properly listened to less than a third of it), Mana Source - Shinto is my favourite. You? EDIT: Scratch that, I just realised that Amithaba Buddha - Astralic Map on Liquid Sunshine 5 is a new track. That's the one I like the most.
  14. I just checked his Bandcamp page. The label's only been around a few months and already has over 40 releases, including several more Chynacid EPs!! Starkraver, what's "2 little Rajasthani couple"?
  15. I'm obsessed with the Chinese goa sound and with that album Mr Santos doubled the amount of them in existence... https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/71705-looking-for-chinese-influenced-goa/?hl=chinese The track 'Book of Changes' is much better than the one you posted imo.
  16. It's fine, there's loads of commercial music, loads of brilliant underground music too, enough to go around and more. After some years in the underground many artists feel they want to appeal to a wider crowd, that's their choice, and it happens within every subgenre. The underground always lives on.
  17. Music that gets me into a trance state. Everything else - energy, production quality, storytelling - is ancillary to that.
  18. Excluding releases like Transdimensional and Shakta - Retroscape, it's the following: Ra - 9th Afgin - Astral Experience (surprised not to see this mentioned more, I find it to be a very fun and psychedelic listen) Artifact303 - Back To Space Khetzal - Corolle VA - Twist Dreams (especially the Ra and Aerosis tracks) I feel like Daze Of Our Lives should be on here somewhere, it has many fantastic moments, but I really find it hard to listen to more than one Filteria track in a row, or even finish a single track for that matter...
