    Great production, great creativity, 604 trance is alive!
    Really enjoying this album, every track as its own story and overall the album has its own identity, congrats!

    It isn't easy to create a darkish vibe while keeping the sound clean and detailed, and IMO this album does that. It is not easy also to keep the goa vibe when the sound is modern, and this album brings the best of both worlds in its own way.

    Boom!

    Thanks Sergio,

    nice to hear such a feedback from a fellow producer;)

    ...except me. I consider it to be your best track ever. Above "Labyrinth", "Order to my Chaos" and "Memento Mortis" (which are excellent btw).
    The feeling remind me "Children of the Night" by UX in some moments. This almost same pulsating dark/cyber aesthetic.
     

     

    Thanks man, appreciate it ;)

    2. GoaTree - Vader 

    3. GoaTree - Damned 

    4. GoaTree - Labyrinth 

    5. GoaTree - Black Star Of The Death

    6. GoaTree - Cell Connections 

    7. GoaTree - No Time To Waste 

    8. GoaTree - Hide And Clap

     

    I have heard of GoaTree but I dont think I ever went through his music so I'm doing this with a fresh set of ears.

     

    This is the black star of THE Death, not of death in general, but of a certain, particular death. Mysterious, wouldn't you say? Anyway, if you are expecting a dark and serious atmosphere like I was, you shan't be dissapointed! Lets begin!

     

    1. Nomad (GoaTree Remix): Introduces us to the theme of the album which is the combination of goa and dark/forest and I couldnt be more happy with it because it mixes the best of both worlds! It made me bounce around in my chair which is always a good sign! Highly psychodelic! 5/7

    2. Vader: I expect nerdgasms just because of the name alone! Anyhow, the special part of this track, beside it being an amazing track, is its sample: "Vader... was seduced... by the dark side... of the force." It repeats a lot but its so damn catchy that I couldnt stop myself from saying it along with the track every...single...time!  The track itself is 303 and melody heavy. At 7:20 we have a cool little playful melody followed by a great semi-climax. Masterfully composed track. Love it to bits! 7/7

    3. Damned:  5/7

    4. Labyrinth: Has a 3 minute long intro which builds up into a melodic explosion which persists for a good part of the track but it doesnt overstay its welcome. The track then slowly winds down to its conclusion. Great stuff! 6/7

    5. Black Star Of The Death: I always have high expectations for title tracks and I was pleasently surprised this time. IMO, its the best track on this album. It has a HUUUUGE climax. I love successfully executed climaxes! 7/7

    6. Cell Connections: A more simplistic track which sounds very oldschool to me. Has a dose of playful and funky rhythm. 6/7

    7. No Time To Waste: First part of the track is high-tech heavy which then weirdly transitions into a twisted folk melody. Wasn't particularily impressed by this one but its far from being bad 4.5/5

    8. Hide And Clap: A nice conclusion to the album. Nothing special but it does it job of signing off. 5/7

     

    Summery: A darkpsy infested goa album with a couple of gems. Tracks are complex, well and patiently structured and decently varied. This release is of a big caliber and it came as a pleasant surprise.

     

    6/7

    Thanks for the review, its always interesting to read how certain track is perceived by a different people. Im glad the good sound is mentioned since I put a lot of effort into it (sometimes I got the impression I spent more time on education that on production), constantly trying to improve the mix and constantly staying unsatisfied with it :) 

    I see you are from Serbia, that "rhythmic" Vader speech came to my mind while I was with Stefana, Kiril and Imba at psychedelic party one day after my gig :)

    just random thoughts after I have read through the comments:

    -nobody noticed or hated down that Vader is basically an extension of "the force" :P 

    -I consider "hide and clap" one of my best track but it seems people dont share this opinion

    -Pauli you are right Akasha could be better but still there are some tested party bombs that works every time :)

    -Im still not sure why this album (which wasnt a planned album, I just realised I have enough material while preparing new stuff for gigs) turned out to be darker, since I dont listen to goa or psychedelic or dark stuff in general last years (mostly I listen to chillout, blues, reggae, dubtechno etc). Maybe Im getting older and darker :D next album if there will be any should be then hispeed goa stuff like "order to my chaos"

    Last but not least thanks to everyone that supported Neogoa ;)
