    I think I might be able to help you :) In 1999 I made a song under the artist name Psilocybin and I called it Circulus Vitiosus (vicious circle in latin). At the time I was a member of a group that was called Black Hole (I think), amongst others. The group released songs made in Fast Tracker II, a simple, yet brilliant DOS program. I don't know if you'r familiar with that? Anyways, the EQ was pretty lousy; I barely knew what it was. Besides, the program was somewhat restricted, and there's a lot going on. You really had to use your creativity.

    If you're interested I could send you the song. I don't think it's a coincidence...

    Hey, if you are still around, we'd love to have that track, if you still want to share it, since it was released only as mp3 (and even this, it is hard to be found)!
    ...or you could make a Bandcamp account and offer it there for a small price?

    Thank you :-)

    I think that karma philosophy  is a bit black and white and is not really applicable in a real world scenario. And it’s more of an attitude one might encounter in suburban ghetto environments. Certainly from a PR perspective if one represents a label or a company/store/brand etc. Imagine if everyone in retail or other businesses or enterprises, would adapt that philosophy.

    I can assure you their businesses would be impacted greatly, by the endless disputes that would arise from that type of customer treatment policies. I would advice against going into polemics on online forums in the capaticity of a brands representative. It will only diminish the general publics reception of the label you represent here. 

    Because if we follow the logic of the karma philosophy you just described that you adhere to, forum drama will only fuel more forum drama. Sometimes the best approach to people beeing negative, is to be positive and smile. And at other times just beeing neutral, confrontation seldom leads to anything meaningful.

    So my advice is, put the ego aside and don’t let small remarks/comments online get under your skin. :) I say this in the most well-meaning manner, since I want this forum to be a nice space for every single member who contributes and makes this unique place what it is.

    And btw I think you’re confusing the concept of Karma with Vengeance, retaliation and other confrontative actions.

    According to wikipedia, Karma is defined as follows:

    ”Karma means action, work, or deed.[1] The term also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect, often descriptively called the principle of karma, wherein intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect):[2]good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and happier rebirths, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and bad rebirths.”

    Enough OT if you wanna discuss philosophy we have the Spiritual/Cultural Zone in the Offtopic Section. :) 

    This thread was about the music of your label, and people were wondering why the Crop Circles, Pleiadians and Etnica albums disappeared from all your labels platforms. And if the albums in question will come back? 

    I’m not sure if we got any satisfying answer to that yet? I checked now on Spotify, Youtube and Bandcamp. Still none of the mentioned albums/artists on there.

    This is a very interesting point of view, the kind of things i love to discus. Certainly i wouldn't even think to go to wikipedia to find answers to "spiritual matters", i have tons of original books, but you are very right, this kind of talk is for another topic/forum. Thanks for your comment!

    However i must clarify something!

    I do NOT represent DAT Records (or any other label)!

    I am just a DAT Records DJ and sometimes i do audio restoration on partially damaged rare tracks from Dat tapes.
    That's all!

    What i write here are my personal points of view or just share some information.

    I don't have to explain my self but i will do it, in order to understand better. So, I felt the need to defend my co-workers and friends (we worked for years together for the Unreleased Goa Project), as i would do the same for anyone that i call a friend! In the same way, i will always defend the weak against injustice, bulling or irony even if he's totally unknown to me. This is who i am and from all virtues i value justice as the highest one.

    PS: You can check all my posts here, i react in this way, only when i see others speak ironically or spread fake news. I really have a huge despise for such people and that's why i react like that. It is part of who i am and it can not be change for any reason or any person.

    You sound a bit dooshy mate, I think that's what he meant and you did a fine job confirming it :rolleyes:

    And I know cause I was pretty dooshy too, few years ago. I have since reached kundalini and zen and all that jazz. Hrm. Cough. Maybe not but I try. 

    Yep, i know what you mean, but really what is the big question here?
    ...to put barriers in my freedom of expression just to sound "politically correct"?
    what is the point if we all do the same, act the same or speak the same?
    it sounds a very boring and homogenized world to me...

    after all i didn't spoke bad to anyone, i just have a strong opinion on things... i can't see nothing bad on this, since i do not insult anyone...
    at the end, if our different ways of expression can not be tolerated, then we are not really live in a true democracy, are we?

    @DJ SunbornSeriously m8, take it down a notch. The way you reply is not much better than the people's posts you are referring too. I can see a negative aura surrounding you. :rolleyes:
     

    Oh really? ...and where exactly did you "see" my aura? on a crystal ball? or by hacking my camera? ^_^

    Well... do not believe what you see, the phenomena deceives... look behind them...
    So, as you understand you are obviously mistaken...  what you see is not my personality but my reaction to what anyone writes...
    it is really a simple philosophy: when someone offers love gets back love, when offer respect gets back respect, when offer irony gets back irony and when offer shit gets back a shithole.  :P

    It is simple, instant Karma, you may say.

    ...anyway, for your information, my aura is extremely positive but only for positive people,
    and the way i talk is the way of my generation: freaks, punks and 90's ravers... a generation who valued truth and straight opinion, over fake politeness... a generation with deep sense of grotesque humor and a generation who hated criticism and accepted anyone for what he/she was... probably you belong to a younger generation, but worry not! that's cool too! Cheers! :wub:

    Apologies for contributing to the negative vibe. I'm not up on Facebook or any social media, so wasn't aware of updates beyond what's said here, which has been silent for the past six months. Getting chided by DJ Sunburn for not having Facebook is pretty silly, but I won't hold it against him. 

    Well dear friend, i only wanted to mention the fact that almost everyone is on Facebook so we all do our works, communication, friendships etc. there... i have dozens of accounts on different sites but i rarely, or never, go there anymore, since literally everyone i know is on Facebook...

    There, we have also groups, very similar to the forums but with a lot more options... i administrate 3 totally different groups and i have 4 personal professional pages there, so really, there is no time to go anywhere else (since we have personal life and other works in real life too) and the above applies more or less to many people i know.

    I won't say that this kind of "monopoly" is good (because it is not!), but now it is like that.
    I never meant to "suggest" that anyone should have Facebook. :)

    ....and by the way, it is Sunborn (Sun + born aka the one who is born from the Sun... for more info check on the ancient Egyptian mysteries ^_^ )  and NOT Sunburn!

  6. Can you PLEASE stop speculating and spread BULLSHIT?

    Go to DAT Records Facebook page and you will get notifications! If you don't have Facebook, it is YOUR problem!
    Federico or anyone else has NO obligation to come in every forum to explain his plans!

    However, he is notified and he will come at some point. For the moment i can assure you that he doesn't owe anything to anyone, and the Bandcamp page will be active again. Probably it will be a completely new page. At what time exactly i don't know, but at the end is nobody's business. For the moment the label is focused on the triple CD Total Eclipse release at the end of the month.

    I'm kinda late but I have a CDr of that album, given to me by Nemo back in the days. I don't now the format of the tracks, most likely MP3s I suppose. But I can check for sure if you still need them.

    Hello :-) 
    We already had them as MP3 years ago... but MP3's doesn't fit for a quality release...
    last year i found WAV too... but not in the best possible quality...
    so please yes, check your CDr and compare the spectrum of the tracks with the one that i upload...
    if they are of higher resolution, then you are most welcome to send them to Federico for the release. 

    Thank you! :)

    1.  Spindrift - Deep Nature (StereoHemia Records)

     

    Nice to see Leo Bergman in the top of your list!
    The man is sooo much more psychedelic than all those cheesy and over-advertised producers (old and new)

    Tip: if you are looking for true psychedelic music, look no further!

    V.A. - Analog Visions : Where does D.A.T. get all this great stuff from?

    Most tracks came from our own DAT tapes archives (over 500 original tapes in total, from all members of Dat Records and Unreleased Goa Project), plus lot more from our collaborators (old collectors and DJ's) ...the rest are from the artists themselves :-)
    Lot more will be released in the future!

    STOP using psy-trance machine gun bass everywhere,
    DON'T make everything sound "Full-on", lower down your damn BPM!,
    STOP over-compress your mastering!!!!!!!!!!!,
    BE more unique and for God shake, FORGET the typical Goa or Psy forms or use them minimal!,
    DON'T copy-paste ideas from others or from the past,
    Create your own sound! This is the ONLY way to be remembered in the future!

    One exception,
    Pete & Pan - Return of the Goddess, somehow this one touched me... very good album but not that good for the top-10

  11. Unfortunately, it seems that those tracks will never be released :-(

    The names of the members are known to us, however we have to respect their decision to stay anonymous.
    I do have at least 3 common friends with the guys, yet, neither me neither some other Greek friends managed to meet them, with one exception, a female friend, who spoke with one of the guys. He was very "cloudy", neither said "yes", neither "no", to any of the proposals, only said at same point that he might give us the tracks to do them what we want, after speaking with his partner. After that, he disappeared for a year or so, and the latest info i have (October 2019) is that he return to his family village, somewhere in Central Greece and become a farmer...
    anyway, maybe is a good thing, some things to remain secret, who knows...

    On our website you can find all the info we have about the band:
    https://goatrance.xyz/music/interstellar-overdrive/

  12. are you kidding? are we talking about a mozart symphony or pleiadians? only a few people in the world can re compose the maia track melody? exaggerating much?

    OK, please stop wasting my time with such arguments, it is obvious for any sensual being that:

    either you (in general) are prejudiced,

    either you have no idea about what are you talking about,

    either you do NOT read what i am writing (or reading with a very narrow perspective),

    either (some of you) are a kind of "nonsense arguing mafia" (as a matter of speech),

    either (somehow) you have a personal problem with me (?) or Dat records releases!

     

    I was talking about the FULL COMPLEXITY of a Pleiadians album remake, NOT about Maia's melody!

    This should be obvious for anyone who read carefully (and not epidermic). And, no i am not kidding at all!

    In fact, i challenge ANY of you with music knowledge to present us a Maia remix! Can you???

     

     

    P.S. - In any way, the point is that every time i come in this forum to comment (full of good will) and give a different and more "inner" insight, i get disturbed and annoyed and i only meet denial. I am used to speak with more open minded, kind and civilized people, so i will not waste more time to answer to unknown people with closed profiles and no info at all about who they are and what is the true level of their knowledge. :P

    I will only deal with people who i feel they are honest.

  13. I don't care if it's hard. If someone wants to re-do the old track, he should get the notes spot on. The main melody in Maia misses some of the notes and gets other wrong, so it's simply a sacrilege. It's like those amateur bands that play on weddings, where - on the surface - it sounds like the newest hit you hear on the radio, but on closer inspection the singer is unable to get to those higher-register notes, the keyboardist is too late and misses some notes and I'm pretty sure there was no accordion in the original. I've been making music on and off for over 20 years, so I know what I'm talking about.

     

    If you can't do it properly, or do an actual remix that sounds different on purpose, then just don't do it.

     

    ...different people, different mentalities, different tastes, different opinions... that's the beauty of the human race :)

  14. Having quickly listened to it, I share your concerns - e.g. the classic eastern melodies of "Maia" are so tragically botched, that I'm afraid to listen further. So far it sounds like Pleiadians album being re-made (not remixed!) with a more modern sound (though I never heard anyone complaining about Pleiadians sounding dated...), but with a lot of simplifications and trivialisation of the nuances that made the original so great...  :( Hope it gets better later.

    You probably ignore some important facts here.

     

    1- Those tracks made by EAR! no midi or audio files at all! As a musician i can assure you that very few musicians in the world can do this.

    You have to be a real musical genius (or an extremely good copier, which is more or less the same thing, is a matter of genius). So it is very ok to not sound 100% as the originals. After all, this is the purpose of a RE-MIX, right?

     

    2- Mauri himself stated that "this is how our tracks would sounded if we have today's equipment back then".

     

    And to blow out the myth totally, the "old sound" sound as it sounds because of the lower quality equipment compare with today's standards.

    What we want (unless someone is totally ignorant) is to have back the FEELING of the 90's, The imagination in production.

    NOT the sound quality, which is horrible in most cases!

     

    I personally always remaster the old tracks, not only in order to play them, but even to listen at home! As a true audio lover i want the maximum possible quality. And i can tell you most of them are reaching a whole new dimension! Hidden layers and buried melodies and real hi-hats suddenly revealed in your acoustic spectrum, giving you an outstanding experience and make you love those old diamonds even more!

    After all, this is the REAL sound, as i hear it on Dat tapes and some studios during the 90's. So many released tracks which sounding interstellar on Dat tape, sounding like a crap on a vinyl or a CD. Simply, there is no compare.

     

    ...and the fact is that 99.9 of the old artists fully agree in all the above... ;)

  15. For the rest of your comments, i give up... your conclusions are totally arbitrary, as i only gave some examples, nothing more... so i see a bad will here, with a dose of sarcasm and definitely i won't play that silly game,

    ...in fact, i will unfollow this post immediately so we are all happy! :)

    ...you, can write whatever you like, i will be not here to read it... ^_^ ...and you can think whatever you like about me, i really don't give a penny, i know very well who i am, and thankfully, many many more people do also... :wub:

     

    ...and I, will not waste any more precious time trying to answer obvious things... -_-

     

    ...and, hopefully all of us, will stop acting like grumpy old ladies drinking tea next to the fire, and judging everything and everyone around... :lol:

     

    Don't feed the (real) trolls people! - C Ya in a better post! :)

  16. Perhaps you shouldn't be judging entire groups of people by the crimes of their worst members - especially since you've already made an anti-Semitic comment earlier in this thread (perhaps you can think of some bad things that anti-Semites have done?).

    Of course i don't judge! I only gave some general examples.

     

    Anti-Semitic? The joke about the Israeli who is "tight" with the money is antisemitic? be serious please!

    It is SO well known, even written in the Bible.

     

    Also, you make the common mistake here, which shows limited history knowledge.

    Semites are NOT the Israelis (which is a STATE, not an ethnicity).

    Semites are the Hebrews, but also the Arabs, Mandaeans, Syriacs-Arameans, Samaritans and Assyrians!

     

    And to finish with this silly story, know that i come from a family that gave refuge to many Hebrew people during the World War II!

    A family that gave her blood to the anti-Nazi resistance...

    so, i advise you all, to STOP this shit! It starts to be very annoying.

     

    Don't patronise me you tit, I'm a native English speaker.

     

    yes i can see that.... though the correct word is patronize, not patronise :P

    ...so, as you see everyone can do mistakes, even the native speakers, so, do not judge me

  17. Now that's just silly.

     

     

    yea thats silly look out for example Zion604 are conservative/perserving people . Nothing wrong with conserving & perserving stuff we love it's part of who we are and i'm keeping all this goa stuff couldn't care less .

     

    Seriously? silly? why? Do you know what is conservative people?

     

    Libertarians, republicans, right wing political parties and fanatic religious, mostly...

    But also we call conservative, everyone who has a "narrow" view of things, or stacked in the rules of the past in a negative way, or is too critical, or is very easily offended and has no humor or good will, or is afraid everything new etc etc etc.... thousands examples!

     

    As an extreme example, conservative people were the fanatics who burned witches, philosophers or scientists in the medieval times...

    Another example, is how the American society treat the hippies in the 60's... or how they treat today the poor refugees in many of the (supposed) "civilized" western countries. Conservatism is Ignorance!

     

    What i wanted to say in the post, is that people with similar attitude has NO place in the Goa trance scene, which is a scene for free minded people!

    My post had nothing to do with PRESERVING old things that we all love, (in Greek, conserve and preserve has a totally different meaning... conserve is the negative aspect, while preserve is the positive one).

    So i guess you misunderstood maybe because your knowledge about the language and how we use it, is somehow limited dears.... next time, before you criticize open a dictionary first!

     

    Have a nice day! :)

  18. @Tal - Page 4 is it. I feel sorry for you. Nothing but sorry. -- I personally think you mistook it --

    I feel sorry that you took it personally, clearly Sunborn was pointing to Anjuna Records.

    NOPE, i was pointing to Tal personally and NOT to Anjuna! Anjuna has more co-operators, good people who never even thanked for their work...

    Anyone who is on our Rare Goa group on Facebook, should know already the response from one of them

     

    This topic should have been closed like 6 days ago

    (the moment someone {who i cant believe is 'in' my fav lable} made a 'JOKE'

    about israelis and none of you or the mods here, did anything about it).

     

    I already answer to that, get over it... these jokes are very common in many countries. ...and special in my country, about Israelis, Scottish and most of all North Greeks, heheh... it is ONLY about how they deal with money, nothing more!

    So, I will NOT apologize for this, if you don't like it is your problem dude... wtf? you think you have privilege against satire? well, NO ONE has! ...you can freely do your own jokes against me if you like, no offense :) ...only conservative people get offended, and in our scene should not exists conservative people! Right?

     

    Well me and Kris had a lot of conversations about Anjuna so-and-fourth.... i knew he was an ass (Tal) long before 'it was out on the net'

    Also hearing stories that he tried to go behind back of different label/dj's trying to clear track for future track to be released on Anjuna.

    He was told 'fuck off' if im not mistaken....

    No mate, you are not mistaken! at least on 2 cases... Doof and Etnica

     

    ***************************************************************************************

     

    So, people... it is really disappoint to see how easy some of you are willing to disgrace a great artist and a beautiful soul (Kris) just to defend a cheater... so, i decide to publish few more evidence here (i have dozens!).

    Why i do this?

    1- Because i believe in a fair and honest world and i will NEVER-EVER stop fighting for it, against who ever maybe be!

    2- Because it makes me sick and aggressive when the "problematic" part NEVER say "i am sorry", never try to apologize, but instead, play the super ego role "i am beyond everyone, i don't make mistakes, i will not humble my ego, i will fuck everyone instead to apologizes"!

    Well, NOT this time dude, you mess up with the wrong Greek, and the only way to end this, is a PUBLIC apologize to ALL, and mostly to Kris and to the people who pre-order... This goes also to anyone support this shit. If you are a little bit of shame, if you have left a small piece of consciousness in your body, well, just buy the CD from Suntrip, thank God, Devil, Joske or who ever you want, and shut the fuck up to finally this story comes to an end!

    The more you talk and try to find excuses, the more you make a lot of people angry!

     

    SO, LETS START!

     

    1 - The Israeli post office lie!

    ...as you see (and you can check by your selves on-line), delivery it takes 2-3 businesses days (or, in some extreme cases, up to 20 MAXIMUM), so there is nothing wrong with the Israeli post office!

     

    post10.png

     

    2 - About going behind the back of other labels

     

    ...keep in mind, that he knew very well that i was collaborating with DAT and that DAT had already a contract!

     

    tal_110.jpg

     

     

    3 - About cheating and disrespecting other artists

     

    3a - Zion 604 case:

     

    reacts10.png

     

    3b - Virtuart case:

    4 - Ego react against people, instead of apologize

     

    reacts10.jpg

     

    5 - Complains

    compla10.png

    compla12.png

     

    3 / This complain comes from an Israeli guy who live in the SAME AREA with him!!! What can you say about this case?

     

    compla11.png

     

    ....if you want more, there are many more!

     

    6 - FINALLY

    ...for those who don't know how and why this story began, here is the original first post from artist, many months ago...

     

    artist11.png

     

     

    PS:

     

    1- I hope this clears and ends the situation, and finally let us in peace to do our work!

    (i am currently identifying dats and cleaning tracks for YOUR future pleasure)...

    If not, i can back with more evidence, again and again and again, 'till eternity ^_^

     

    2- Just to make it clear... To continue on this, and publish those things, was MY OWN personal choice and decision!

    So, if you for some egoistic, paranoid reason dislike this, blame ME!

    NO other artist, label or person can be blamed for any of this.

     

    Thank you for your patience on this super long response :)

  19. As for the fact if it is an illegal release or not...

    This i can also clearly confirm people, as i know Kris and happens to be aware of the situation from its first period.

    It is NOT ILLEGAL. It is 100% legal!

    Kris has got paid for this, and the album is courtesy of Anjuna Records, until the end of the contract (i think is until 2018).

    In fact, in this case, Suntrip act like a redistributor of the release, and there is nothing wrong with it!

     

    My concerns were of a different value, and had to do with the reaction of Tal against Kris and his behavior against people who pay for the album many months ago.

    Nothing more!

    ...and btw i read something that is not true, about "anti-israeli"... This is not correct, anti-Tal yes, but not anti-israeli :)

    It is true that i don't like the behavior of their government against Palestinians but this is another story, that has no place on Psynews.
