This comp is so goddamn good; Global Sect always deliver in terms of track selection and presentation (love their artwork...I also got one of the UV banners which is fucking beautiful). My favorite tracks here are Celestial Intelligence, Alienapia (Night Train), Psy-H (all of them), Mindsphere, Artifact303 (Contact), Median Project (Mad Space), Omnivox, and the downtempo Liquid Flow and Slow Reflections tracks are amaaaazing. It took me a while to get into it because of the sheer size, but once I did I had it on repeat for weeks. There is seriously only like 1 bad track, a few mediocre ones, and the vast majority are really good.

Lol there are too many subgenres. I thought that Dacru stuff was prog? Tropical Bleyage is cool though, I have 2 of their albums.
-
Hey guys, looking for some good Full On tracks/producers, I don't know much of that stuff. Looking for good production, good melodies if possible, and most importantly interesting/psychedelic sound design. For example, I really like Psilocybian.
-
Have you heard Airi - "Conscious Species" on Zenon, it came out last year? It's really good; dark and atmospheric but still has a lot of "psy" elements. The new Kromagon is pretty cool as well, but it gets a little too techno-ish for me.
-
Goddamn, been waiting for a new MWNN for so long!!!! It will probably be mostly generic bullshit, but hopefully some of his classic style in there.

I love Bitter Hitter. The production on that album (The Grid) is absolutely phenomenal, soooo spacious. Some of the old stuff like Shadow of the Beast is really good too. I have the Sonic Algebra album as well but nothing on there really stood out to me.

5 hours ago, recursion loop said:
@the OP: care to post some specific tracks so we could try to figure out how the basslines were made? If you talk about "the psybass" typically no examples are necessary because everybody immediately understands what kind of sound you are after, in goa there is much more variety.
Hehe this is part of the problem, you can't really hear/make out the bass in a lot of goa songs! But here are a couple that I really like:
Alienapia does some great hard basslines
And I like Psy-H for basslines too, you can actually hear it clearly in the beginning. This one seems fairly close to the typical psy bass but mainly the low end only without the emphasis on mid/high tones, leaving room for the synths.
-
So first of all, I totally under the "psy" bass which is used in every single prog/Dacru/etc track ever made. I can make that with no problems, but it doesn't really fit with "goa" type songs. This type of bassline is pretty easy to grasp because it's almost always one of the main focuses of the song so it's easy to hear the tone/notes. However, the thing I am struggling with is that in Goa the focus is on the layers of synths/melodies and the bassline is usually kind of buried and hard to make out. So what exactly makes something a "Goa" bassline and how do you create it? Also feel free to post any examples of particularly "goa" style basslines.
-
Nice, thanks! Hmm for some reason it's telling me that the "collect goa & psychedelic trance" page doesn't exist anymore? THANKS FACEBOOK
-
Are there any good Goa/Psy groups on facebook that people actually use? There are a few regional ones I am in (sadly in the US) but nobody really uses them beyond the occasional soundcloud or event-from-across-the-world post, and there is never any discussion. I'd like to find something that at least posts frequently about new releases and the posts get some activity
-
This release is so goddamn fucking good
-
Thanks for posting about this, reminds me to grab it!
-
You released something called "black star of the death" but a black metal style logo is too much for you?

I didn't find too much goa this year (could be out there and I just didn't hear it), but still lots of good psy came out in 2017:
V/A - Terraformer (Global Sect) - huuuuuge goa comp
V/A - Dimensional Gateway 4 (Neogoa)
Imba - Golden Times (Spacedock)
Morphic Resonance - Trip To The Stars (DAT)
Morphic Resonance - Chromatic World Revisited (Neogoa)
Median Project - On Saturn (Timewarp)
Spirit Architect - Moonshine (Dacru)
Digicult & U-Recken - Days In Paradise (Dacru)
Psilocybian - Third Eye Itch (BMSS)
Airi - Conscious Species (Zenon)
JaraLuca - Fata Morgana (Goa Madness)
Zymosis - Insight (Sentimony Records) - more on the downtempo/idm side but still psy and awesome
Ajja - Spira Mirabilis (TIP)
Ajja & Outsiders - Divine Particles (Sacred Technology)
and I released an EP on Timewarp so I'm pretty happy about that
-
Whoa, great compliment. Thanks man!
-
I like Nordland Orchestra a lot, it was dark and heavy, even reminded me of some of the industrial stuff I listen to. This new one was totally different and didn't do it for me at all.
-
I checked this one out on the sole basis that it was from Sita and had Pharaoh in the title. I liked it quite a bit, lots of good old school sounds in there, some very similar to Man With No Name and with great modern production. The composition didn't blow me away but the sounds and overall vibe are right on the money.

Hey all, after writing Industrial for like 10 years and posting a few of my goa demos on here, I've signed some of my tracks to Timewarp! The material is inspired by ancient egypt and is somewhere between goa / prog / industrial / tribal. I think it sounds fairly different from what other people are doing and misses most of the psy tropes/cliches. Very curious to hear people's opinions...

Whatever genre it is it sure does sounds good. I love those heavily distorted, industrial sounds.
Awesome thanks!! Glad to hear the industrial stuff doesn't turn people off
-
Here's a thing I've been working on which evolved out of my older tribal industrial style and morphed into this...whatever it is. Prog-y goa tribal industrial ? Curious to hear thoughts on it!
-
All synths in this short example are Diva. Sorry for posting my own stuff again but this is seems to be the only goa-related demo of Diva existing online
If you've got Lush-101 you actually have the acid stuff covered. It is modelled after SH-101 which was as improtant for classic acid lines as TB-303. I think it has one of the most analogue-sounding filters among VSTs. Also you may look at Tal-Bassline-101 which is modelled after the same thing but sounds a bit different to Lush (people say more authentic). It surely does great acid.
Thanks for this!! Yeah it's so hard to find people using synths to make specifically psy/goa so this is really helpful. Are all the synths in that track from Diva? It sounds really good, some great classic sounds in there.
LuSH-101 is the most recent thing I've gotten so I haven't really gotten super into it yet, but so far it's really great for making goa style BP arps, and also pads

Or go straight up bonkers with either of those:
Whoa, these sound awesome! Wasn't aware of these, thanks for the tip
-
i might be repeating myself, but unless you want to go fully modular, u-he diva is one of the best ananlogue synths out there, even compared to hardware synths that work using an actual analogue signal
ms20? check. jupiter 8? check. juno 60? check. minimoog? it sounds more like a minimoog than the minimoog itself. and i do love sending the minimoog oscillator through the jupiter 8 or ms20 filter with precise digital envelopes.
I've heard nothing but praise for Diva, but I have not personally used it. I've heard demos of it and it certainly does an incredible job doing 80s type sounds, but how does it do for goa and filter modulating stuff? I've yet to hear a VST come close to matching the character of a hardware analog synth filter. But maybe I'll download a demo and give it a shot.

I feel the same about his Crystal Worlds track! (that's another absolute banger of a comp from Global Sect)
