My BPM limit ?
-
Few... Glad I didn't make it ^^
-
NUMBER ONE
This compil by Zion 604 :
CD1 is remastered oldschol. CD2 is oldschoolish Goa made by contemporary artists.
NUMBER TWO
Here is Proxeeus' Soundcloud. Check out his songs. Super oldschool, super acid, super super.
NUMBER THREE
Some oldschool artist are doing it again. And they rock like in the good old days :
NUMBER FINAL FOUR
I'm also tempted to recommand (though they might not sound oldschool enough) you the slow Goa trance songs of E-Mantra :
-
Thanks Radi !
-
He doesn't read all the topics. We should message him.
Where is this Anoebis of yours ? Did he abandon you, little human ? How pathetic.
-
I like floating melancholic Goa Trance with emotionnal peaks and a newschool bassline. I love when it is storytelling, oniric/Fantasy. Examples :
E-Mantra - Liquid Frequencies (2008 Mix)
I prefer desorientalized Goa Trance. And I LOVE when there's no vocal sample with people talking. I hate that.
Edit : 100th post ! Yeay !
-
That's not funny -_-"
But still, if Anoebis don't know, I tell you, you have nothing to lose going on tranceaddict.com (ID section). Those guys are really tanky.
-
Oh, Anoebis is a mega boss collecting every single piece of Goa existing on Earth. I bet he'll know. Would you bet with me ? ^^
-
Oh man. The other day I listened to it.
You can't imagine how much I melted while listening. I lied on my bed with my headphones on, and I felt so relaxed that I was in a state of well-being I haven't known for months or even years. I was at peace with this music.
I knew I could get some energy or concentration/insight through Goa. But Elysium made me know that Goa can bring me inner peace as well.
Thank you a hundred times for this blessed moment Kristian. For one moment, you were the best of therapists for me.
-
I don't. But my remark is unuseful. If you no one gives you an answer after several days, try the ID section at tranceaddict.com.

Well, I'm not someone realistic. I'm more some kind of a dreamer. And as a dreamer, I'm mad enough to believe that Goa 604 can afford a second golden age, or at least that Goaesque trance can become a huge thing.
But I don't claim this only because of my hopes.
The way the Goa sound is leaking into progressive, other psytrance and ambient music makes me think that the way people look at Goa might be changing.
Before, it was a dusty, rusty sound from the past, the territory of a few nerds.
Today, it might sound like a brand new energetic sound that is about to make a breakthrough. People would think :
"_Hey, what's that super music ?
_Oh, it's a new thing. It's called Goa trance. "
Or maybe I'm just
But still, I can't stop loving Splattered Implant.

Well, there have been some movements lately. I'm not fond of prog, so I haven't many tracks in mind to offer you. But check out Orkidea and Airwave, who've been active lately, and Manifestor, the progressive project of Dmitriy Astropilot Redko.
Time to turn the page of Van Buuren, Neelix, Tiesto, etc. Can't bear those projects anymore. Annoying as [insert rude word].
But yes, the Goa sound seems to be a bridge linking progressive psy and progressive non psy, and in both sides, more and more artists use the Goa formula into their tracks (Lyctum, Ovnimoon, Flemming, Federation...). And it's even getting into ASOT.
So now I sound less ridiculous when I say that Goa is the EDM of the future
-
Yes. Let us hope it becomes a new direction rather than a mere fad. I'm pretty optimistic.
-
Yes, they is a new trend that blends psyprog and trance/house with Goa hints and fat basslines. John Fleming and Paul Oakenfold produce a lot of them. It's not untasty, and people seem to like it. IMO it ups a little the current level of the trance scene.

Miles - Fragments (Tasso Remix)

It seems that the Goa sound is slowly leaking into the trance scene.

The album also features two bonus track that you didn't mention (including my favourite one ^^) :
Astropilot - Back to Midgard Earth (Sectrum Vision Remix)
Astropilot - Dziva
I'm glad someone made a review. Thanks mate.
-
Sugoi sugoi !
What are your projects ?
-
Ahah ! Elysium wants some feedback xD
The other day I listened to your whole mix, and I said it was a super mix.
The choice of the tracks is really interesting, the transitions are SUPER pro, and the global mix makes all the songs sound better than they are individually. I could feel your years of experience in this mix, and it is certainly my favorite old-school mix so far (though I rarely listen to those, being more a fan of newschool). I may give it a second listening later.
But what I really want to thank you for, is the release, on your soundcloud, of the track called "The Root". Oh Sir ! I've never been a fan of Elysium. Not my kind of Goa. But this little piece of heaven has really touched my heart. The track is at the same time so melancholic and so full of hope, that it made me shiver in emotions. I think I know it's an old work. But at the first listen, I thought it was bright new. It is extremely refined, modern and tasty. I didn't think you could produce such a newschoolish piece. Respect ! I really hope you'll make more of this. (plz
).Now, Mister Elysium, is your ego flattered enough ?
Best regards from France.

There is also this piece of deep Goa by E-Mantra :
-
My opinion :
_the intro and the bassline are too sharp, too agressive.
_the sound is saturated.
_the song is too repetitive. It lacks side-motives and developpement.
_where are the vocals from the original ? I love the vocals ("This is... the first day... of... the rest of your life...") <- cheesy but awesome.
It could be interesting with more work.
This can't be the definitive version.
But yes, it's cool to propose a new version of this song.

Of course I like cheese, but I prefer this one only with instrumental ^^
And yes, they definitely have good EDM there. At least their trance (when not psychedelic) is better than ours IMO.
-
Thank you Sir !
If you check this out, could you please tell me here your opinion about this release ?

Artist : Rigel
Title : Blue Star on Green Sky
Label : Binary Audio Machinery
Date : August 2014
Genre : Psytrance
Hello Goa Heads,
This EP is a little piece of Psychedelic Trance that deserves attention.
You may already have heard of Rigel as a collaborator of Hector Ovnimoon Stuardo. He have compiled some compilations for his label, have released a few tracks in here, and is also the co-author, with Ovnimoon, of a new album entitled Omnipresent Technology, that have already been mentionned in this forum.
Until now, I knew Rigel for his pieces of Goa-influenced psyprog and a few extremely pleasant Morning tracks (such as The One). Then, I already spotted that this guy had some potential. But this release was quite unexpectable. It consists of two tracks :
1_ Blue Star (08:39)
2_ Green Sky (08:52)
There were two things that surprized me. The first on is the originality and the creativity of the sound of this EP. Because it's not progressive, nor full-on, nor morning. Nay. It is pure psytrance, that breaks the ordinary formulas of the scene. It has pretty nothing to do with his previous works, and with the sound of many contemporary producers as well.
The second remarkable thing is the quality of this soud. Rigel didn't only renew his music with a new experimental poetry, he excels in it.
So, why should this EP be enligtened ?
It is a carnival of sounds and colours, with crazy psychedelic accents and funky hints. The rhythm is breath-taking, with unusual changes of tempo, and it seems that Rigel had much fun playing with the bassline all along the tracks.
And you know what ? This EP reminds me of one project in particular : OOOD.
Then I listened to the classic album A-Live, and yes, there is definitely something of this crazy/experimental energy in Blue Star on a Green Sky, but this energy is driven by a very contemporary approach that is deeply rooted in the modern means of production.
Personnally, I'd give an A+ (I rarely give that note) to the first track (Blue Star), and A to the second (Green Sky).
This is a really good work ! It may even be a little masterpiece of an EP.
