    Right, so first things first, I'd like to deeply apologize to @psytones for taking so long to make this post, real life has been pretty chaotic those past few months ! Thank you for your patience and for nudging me in the direction of this release!

    To everybody else... I've never ever written any kind of music review, so please bear with me :P

    Now, without further ado...let's get started.

    1 Magic Science Of DNA
    That track is very brooding and a sense of impending danger persists throughout the 18 (wtf man, 18? :p) minutes.
    The melodic parts/stabs around the 10min mark are a really nice touch and change the pace a bit, and is a welcomed addition. At first, I thought the main break to be a bit long? But then again, yeah it's an 18 minutes piece so you definitely need to catch your breath a little bit !

    2. Musica Electronica
    Not much to say technically on this one. I felt it to be the most melancholic one, and that's stuff that, at least in my opinion, can't be expressed by words. I've enjoyed it very much though !

    3. Voice of Pressed Tin
    OK for that one, don't ask me why but I got newschool Astral Projection vibes (if that means anything) out of it Oo At least for the first half ! The background FX drenched in reverb give it a strange, eerie feeling, I like it.

    4. Sonic Fromasj
    Aaah I'm a sucker for percs. Lovely intro. The instrumental assets sound really good and give the track a nice gypsy-esque vibe. The track then takes a sharp turn towards Dark Tribal land and it's fucking BOUNCING. Did I tell you I was a sucker for percs? The haunting pads at the 6:00 mark are a nice touch to the overall feeling of loneliness hanging around this track, leading us to the gated lead around the 8:00 mark, whose melody brings us back closer to the light.

    A very solid release in my opinion. This is not my usual kind of stuff but I did listen to the full thing with pleasure. Technically, imo, no sound design or mixing flaw can be heard, it's very well produced. Each track possess its own atmosphere and groove, so you're not feeling like you're listening to the same stuff for an hour.

    I think my favorite track is number 4 !

    The State of Psy Parties

    in General Psytrance

    Besides very private/familly events (special birthdays for example) France has seen a couple of collectives pick up the slack for the last two years (Taïma & Cosmic Train, mainly), resulting in 2 or 3 pure goa parties a year, which is a definite improvement over 0; but sadly nowhere near the level of some countries (*cough* Belgium *cough*).

    The rest is your typical run-off-the-mill prog/full-on stuff in clubs and that's eww (not even dissing the actual type of music there, mind you, only speaking about "teh vibes").

    Well, obviously that didn't last long. Of course Skyrim is back in my Steam library. I think I re-enabled it when I found out about Enderal, or then I just wanted SE for free after all :D
    Haven't played SE that much, I have a bit of an itching to start modding it, but it seems that not all mods I consider essential have been ported to SE yet. The most positive surprise though is that Wyrmstooth has been ported, I thought I'd never see that one again when the original mod/expansion was deleted from practically the entire internet a few years ago.

    Yep -- been a couple of years since my last foray into Skyrim, but with SKSE being finally available for the Special Edition, now might just be the time to reinstall and take a virtual stroll in Solitude again :D

    Futureretro Revolution - worth it? Does anyone even use a 303 anymore?

    If you get a faithful hardware clone, you WILL get something that can do "that 303 sound" and nothing else. If that's not enough for you, go with something else. The Revolution appears to have DSP effects built in, so already that's beyond the 303. I have a x0xb0x and it almost gets the 303 sound, but it's not perfect. A little too sterile sounding at certain settings, but still I like it, and I like the limitations.

     

    If you want an acid sound that will sit in a dense mix like they're often used in psy, then any 303 software will get you there. If you want an upfront 303 sound like in acid techno, a good hardware clone is the better way to go. I used to use ABL2, and it had more capability than the x0xb0x, but I personally would never go back. I like the knobs and the imperfections.

    Perfect summary.

    None from above. It's just different times, different crowd wanting different music. Fresh music, modern sound. Old school has it own period and it was great. 

     

    I am more confused with new school. Every other styled evolved and improved almost till perfection with technology and tools that are here now except Goa. Pick any style and listen to sound quality then listen to new Goa... it's like most amateurish sounding style. Can't we do it better? And why? :)

    Spending 3 months on a kick and a 2 notes rolling bassline and nothing else like all modern-day psy isn't really the epitome of evolution in my (unpopular) opinion.
