How about some psychill / goa actually from Taiwan?
Check out Moon Tribe - Eyes and Moon Tribe - Blue Wave
Great stuff.

Sounds like a 303 lol:

Yeah the addictive melody in that track was playing in my head as I made this thread.
Once again... 1982! I can hardly believe it!
Just a 303, an 808 and a Jupiter-8.

Actually I think is one of the tracks I was thinking of in the OP:
1983. Madonna take note!

Niiice! This is a tough thread, as I expect Acid everywhere (eventhough I dont get it
) In my head, its always there.Fellow acid brains unite
1984. Again not so unexpected because he has the whole hip hop 808 thang going too.

I was listening to some 80's pop/disco music a while back and hearing the 303 being used in a very subtle way. Sadly I can't remember the track name now. This thread is for when acid is used in other genres that you might not expect to use acid.
It's not the most surprising case because industrial is always experimental and outside the box, but this track has some lovely acid sweeps:

There was a guy around here who tried to explain me that all Russians are by definition inferior to other people and I was kinda upset, maybe I shouldn't, one can't react to all stupidity one may meet in the internet.
In any case, I come here to discuss psytrance, not politics
Yeah, internet is full of sad kids trying to get rise out of anyone they can... Psynews has less of it and more optimism. Best strategy is to ignore...

man u wanna talk to him? i find link to you
https://soundcloud.com/interplanetary_explorer
here mate
Cheers, although all I have to say to him right now is "Your music fucking rocks, and 20 years later, it still rocks!"
Yeah some of it really sounds like dancing with the Pharaohs under the fat Egyptian sun, trippy hieroglyphs dripping off the pyramid walls.
if only I could have been there at a 1996 party listening to Psychedelic Sun...
Good night!

I never could work out if I really liked this one or not, time to give it another spin after all these years I guess.

I'm not 100% sure that I'm right about this, but I think that Marcello Bonifacii might be the most underrated goa artist ever. Even on these forums. The music is more mechanical than usual for goa, which appeals to techno fans but might put some people off. But his rhythm, oldschool sounds and acid lines are fucking perfection. Low frequency sounds that hit the spot, not like the shrill high frequency of some neogoa.
It has that kind of hypnotic flow where you're about 2/3 of the way through a track and you suddenly forget what you're listening to or that you're even listening to anything - you fully slip into the flow of the music. Almost Hallucinogen / Pleiadians tier level.
I'm surprised that you don't like Ominus. That album has some really great tracks IMO, especially Acid Tester.

while we are at it, the only reason we dont have a Israel Palestine thread in the offtopic section is because they cant even discuss it. Rloop , You and others had no prob when matters regarding your country came up. Very insecure and also I shall quit Psynews and stuff , so why push them I thought. only EU, US, China threads as of now. Would be happy to discuss about my country too if anyone opens up a thread. I aint running, we have problems, we will work it out.
Honestly I think it's a massive waste of time discussing politics on the internet. All you get every time are strong opinions and anger, nothing really educational or any facts that move forward the debate. I'm here to discuss goa and a couple of other related stuff, couldn't care less about political discussions on forums.

Many of the vinyl/compilation only goa tracks are massively underrated. Encens also is the bomb https://www.discogs.com/%C3%86ternum-Ensanity/master/174741

Btw, it's a common misconception that it's easier to make a minimal track (like techno or deep house) than a full-on or goa track overloaded with synths and effects. When you are making smth minimal you must polish the crap of all your sounds because they all are clearly heard, you can't mask anything beneath other stuff. Also these subtle changes, tiny automations which are not clearly heard but act subliminally - all this is very important and not that easy to get it right.
Yeah, I don't know how many times I've had to explain this to people. The best artists have brilliant production and add lots of tiny modulations that keep up the tension. Not easy to do at all.
I think that there is a grain of truth to the idea that house is easier... mostly because the core sounds have tons of patches in VSTis and there are loads of tutorials for writing it. On the other hand, it's really hard to manipulate digital synths to make authentic old-school goa sounds, so that's a big barrier right from the start.
Modulating cutoff and effects all over the track takes a lot of time, it's another kind of complexity. Sometimes I listen to Forest psy and am blown away by the amount of little tweaks I can hear.
Ultimately these genres of music are all about where you want to focus the complexity. Forest psy focusses on those hundreds of micro-sound effects, techno focusses on building one really tense, well-produced loop, goa focusses on the structure and melody. Each of these things can take a long time to do, a;though they take much less time once you are used to each particular production style.

Yes, that's obvious - I mention streaming as an additional factor to consider for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
If you are technically inclined you could set up your own streaming server at home, the most common solution is Icecast.

Google Play probably come the closest - there's lots of goa/psy, especially old-school - and it gives an option of subscribing (a'la Spotify) rather than purchasing every single thing and the prices of single album are usually 1/2 or less of physical release, which is rarely the case in other places:
Don't lock yourself into Google Play man, take care of your collection manually and just buy some backup hard disks so the risk of losing it all is minimal. Google Play, Apple or whatever seem to offer convenience, but they will only let you down for one reason or another. Take care of your digital stuff yourself, it will pay off.

Not a fan. It's waaaaayyyyy too morning and waaaaayyyyyy too floaty, excluded the kick and bass this is like progressive psy. I feel I'm back to 2007. Also the music rarely breaths. I really wish Mindsphere returns to his debut album sound. I hope Beyond to be like that.
My assessment too. I love Mindsphere's more varied and driven tracks Mindrama, We Have a Dream, To Infinity, Ornamentation, and World Is Yours. But I'm not a fan of the overly gentle and soft melodies that never offer much surprise or energy. In fact I'm listening to We Have a Dream right now and the difference is night and day. All a matter of taste, though.

I sold my entire record collection about 5 years ago at about the time it became feasible to store a large music collection on a couple of hard disks... I don't hoard plastic

Lol funny aswel raja ram and his challenging message
No matter what we will still keep on partying lol
Yeah, I can imagine normal people watching that and immediately trying to find reasons to dismiss the message, "Pftt, hippie bullshit"
Little would they know that Raja Ram is one of the most eloquent and positive people, and he is amazingly active for his age.

Best topic on Psynews.
Now you truly know how vast the world and human culture is.

Wow, that's an eye-opening interview. I had a similar accident in a studio once but fortunately the ringing went away after about a week or so. Can't imagine what it would be like to suffer the condition that he does, especially when music is your life and passion.
