The harsh reality... Why Psytrance has become shit
astralprojection replied to Anoebis's topic in General Psytrance
Haha ok dude im not sure what you exactly are referring to as my memory sadly is damaged (for real though, im closed to dementia in that regard and have to keep a diary of my most important stuff and things like that) so you are free to remind me, offtopic in pm if its something youd like to refresh me on : ) -
when ure at it, make sure uve seen Avatar and Interstellar, too. Two big milestones in movies, IMO. Then again they are either hate it or love it movies. Avatar is my fav movie all time and it always makes me cry. And people hating on it because its so touchy-feely and some even say cheesy, then i truly will defend it and think the people not liking it due to those reasons are probably people I wouldnt want much to do with anyway, as I find it strange NOT to be touched by that movie considering its sensemoral and story

Sadly only two tracks on that album was for me legendary, the rest were awesome, but no more than 3.5-4/5. For a Better World and Mysterious Fantasy where the only two 5/5, the 4/5 being Beyond Lightspeed. Which happens to be one of my most favorite "cocky" goa tracks. Like its basically a showoff, like "haha. Look what I did suckers. Mohohoahaha I PWNFACE SO HARD" with that melody after the awesome LUDICROUS SPEED sample- Thats how I felt anyway, lol:D But still great album ofc. I love him and top 3 new school artists:) Thanks man I try my best

Oh wow, had NO idea that two of my favorite posters share my feelings regarding these two tracks Thats all I need to feel very very happy, awesome guys. Sorry again for the OT.

The harsh reality... Why Psytrance has become shit
astralprojection replied to Anoebis's topic in General Psytrance
Yeah If I ever done that before I regret it and wont do it again. My new me will always respect others. I might go " you insane bastard how can u not like that guy" but that is still something with alot of love and humour and i will never go another route than that of respect and love and mostly humour. and people can take humour differently and thats cool too, but humour can be very touchy if not done in a way thats actually funny. so If im saying something that I find funny but others do not, and even after consideration I still find it funny, then ill just rather let ppl not get it than apologise for my sense of humour. That said, Im noone to back down from an internet squabble -its just that everything is now based on love and not hate, something that unfortunately has driven me before , when I hated myself so much. Now I love myself and so I try my best to share love when applicable. -
The harsh reality... Why Psytrance has become shit
astralprojection replied to Anoebis's topic in General Psytrance
LOL. Thats how I feel regarding alot of releases nowadays and its amaaaazing cause its been soooo long that too much boring goatrance came out, and now its just, amazing stuff all over the place and from new artists still perfecting the craft. Exciting times ahead of us, I guarantee it. Nova Fractals next album, if he ever makes one, and I know if he does, will take a LONG time to complete, but IF he choses to make another album, I can almost Guarantee that I will consider it Amongst the best. That guy is like Simon and AP in that regard. ANything he does it automatically good, then HOW good, depends on the track. Artifact303 is in the works on his new, and Im sure Jannis is aswell, at least as KOB and I look forward to anything coming from Jannis, since his tracks are ALWAYS intelligently sequenced and written, even if it doesnt turn out the way he intended, always, you can still hear that the track has a true goal and aim, and that Jannis is a very skillful and intelligent person. His latest album I thought was geniously produced, but still, sadly, only a few tracks gets plays still, and not very often. And its a shame. Its strange. Some tracks you dont find that good in most regards, and the production can be poor - but they are still tracks you listen to alot. And some of the tracks on Filterias latest album were like that. On some tracks I was like "ok, i totally see what you did there and that took some serious skill." but thats about it. Its like a piece of art that I put on my wall because its great, but then never look at it. Oh well. The amount of legendary cushy goatrance the guy has made far exceeds the fact that there are also many medoicre tracks. The few quality ones outweigh by FAR, the lesser ones. For example, four of his most underrated tracks are IMO "wormhole", "rotate to vibrate (ze remix)", "perpetually delayed voyage" <- that one takes some time to grow into to be able to fully get it, and finally "amnesia reaction". -
The harsh reality... Why Psytrance has become shit
astralprojection replied to Anoebis's topic in General Psytrance
I too, do not have any idols, however Nova Fractal is slowly entering that space! But still not enough to consider him an idol, but if anyone, regarding psy, it would be him. Nonetheless I appreciate the great art some artists produce and I throw out positive comments for my love of these artists all over the place and thats fine, so its not like im gonna go all fanboy when someone talks trash on Filteria for example, as I chose to just not reply and it doesnt bother me personally. So Colin - Share away. If anyone gets butthurt over it, we would just have a good laugh. So bring it! -
Martian was really good, I agree Some of Matt Damons best work, and AWESOME script/story. It felt very very realistic. Have seen in three times Btw, Leo finally won his oscar. For those of you familiar with the interwebs, youd now it has been a meme for a very long time now - that in lieu of leos outstanding performances and generally a very well liked actor - the whole internet exploded with new memes and stuff when he got his oscar lol, the internet is hilarious

What is your mastering chain?

There are a few here who do share your opinion however, almost noone shares mine reg time dilation and zeta ^^ yeah ur right, not more OT
-
the one on first flight is truly amazing too, but the one on the DAT album is extended and more melodies So its pretty much the same version only slightly different but I still adore the one on first flight I actually talked about that album and that track last night edit: LOL at you forcing them fleuro neuro sponge. You seem awesome. We had gotten along great in my youth lol. Such madness and funny shit we did too all the time, stuff like that. Fluoro is my hands down fav Hallucinogen tracks due to my many lsd trips and that one playing since it has that certain something that trigger awesome stuff on acid. But gamma goblins 2, and space pussy share the top spot.

Will the Mastering be the same on the release than that of the mastered wave i got inside his promo? You surely know which version Im refering to.

exactly. Zeta Reticuli on the latest DAT release is a soundgasm to say the least. Hands down top 3 pleadians, and most def top 20 goatrance. Its as much Goatrance it can be. Its like, on the dictionary page for Goa in my Lexicon Psychedelia. Goa: noun, genre, zeta reticuli, carpe noctem, fluoro neuro sponge, and spiritual healing . No more definition required:p

What do you mean? How could they make Zeta Retuculi or time dilation better?

best melodies in oldschool goa
astralprojection replied to astralprojection's topic in General Psytrance
wonderful list but, Rain? Thats like, sooo MEH that melody never got why ppl love it its tbh just mediocre. -
lol:D I would also have to join their crusade However, no. I wouldnt. I dont care what people think that I get upset about peoples opinions All has different taste its just that However - champioing for my fav artists is of course something truly honorable and entertaining And its amusing to read the reactions. Because its all Love, love for the music,right? so a negative fight would be hilraiously wrong if you think about it But "keeping it civil" when championing for your fav talents are of course a small act of war just a loving war where the outcome is very social and good for all ps. haha damn how ive changed and grown since past few years. its so fun to be an adult . truly you stay a very immature man when you stay on drugs for all day all year every year, until you quit - being sober for a long time, recover from therapy with both meds and cbt for example, and THEN you can begin to mature and grow. ANd ive done that the past few years and its so funny and etertaining that im so self aware of my "MPD" and its amusing.

not "most" overrated, but, overrated nonetheless. I dont enjoy his music very much anyway:) and I seem to be the only one here not doing so RA however, is probably the most . IMO.
-
sorry for nitpicking
-
Never got the hype regarding 9th by Ra. Most overrated artist, same with Artha and few others. But thats just that ofc our tastes differ. Some people even hate Filteria, even though he is responsible for TRYING to bring the Etnica vibe back and he and Suntrip did so in a most epic way, and that guy is an amazing dude, and master of his craft.

Most amazing LIVE experience, goa/psy
astralprojection replied to astralprojection's topic in General Psytrance
The positive thing, if the setting inside an event is great, soundsystem best in the biz etc, and the artist has perfected production skills, then the reverb that happens in such a locale make tracks like Spaniard absolutely mindblowing. And I was at Amager about 15 times and saw Infected 3 times there. Just cause the soundscape in that locale was truly truly awesome and you were inside the mix. I mean literally. You danced inside of the mix. Such much any true goa fan enjoy, many times in their life Outside has a completely different feel, and is awesome in entirely other ways. Its not necessarily the fact that you are "inside" the mix, but outside of it, and the main enjoyment is dancing and feeling the vibe of others, and all you see are smiles and people dancing like noone is watching - which is of course where you dance at your best. But shy people on the dancefloor, like me, tend to just do the standard two-step trance dance, but if im on the right move, I dont know what the style is called other than just dancing and feeling every melody and beat with the whole body and doing it in synch. Seing poor dancers that dances off beat and out of synch is funny, but I certainly do not look down on them, quite the opposite, Im happy to see them enjoy it too, and dare dance, even if they are not skilled dancers. But the two-step trancedance that I like to call it, almost anyone can do in different ways and is usuallly what you see in a crowd. Exceptions are example when Filteria played Lunar Civilisation at OIG. -
correction, I live here, but I grew up in Malmö. Since then Ive traveled and lived in UK for 1 year, Turkey for 3 months, then in sweden: Jönköping, östersund, lysekil, and now Kristianstad. So in a way, I left home in 2007 and Im still not home yet But, for me, home is where I have my PC. I dont hang my hat, i plugin my PC. Then Im home. edit: Solar Fields - Leaving home was a big soundtrack during the time of so much travel. Trains plains and automobiles

I cant stop listening to Mystery of Life. As soon as I hit play, I get all excited on about whats to come. And when its ending, its like a comedown and the replay is like a re-dose.. Similar to the feeling I have for Connect. You just now, instantly, in the first minute - that its going to be EPIC melodies and climaxes coming up. The energetic basslines, completely driving the mix forward in a fast pace - together with the BEST mixed goa trance ever, on par only with Artifact303 - well. That mix is rare. To have both an artist that are skillfull in using production tools like comp and eq - and talent enough to make use of the tools to create such beauty. But its official now, Myster of Life has reached legendary status for me and its even better now, than Wheel of Time, which might or might not be because Ive already heard Wheel of Time so much Im currently "bored" with it, and so happy to have Mystery Of Life as my new "put on repeat" track that I sometimes like to do with really good tracks. I think Im on the 50th play or so, and still, the first minute still brings chills on my arms on what is to come. Nova fractal, how you do it, I dont know. You have an amazing brain there, bro. I DO Hope you re-check the mastering though - as I found the masters sent to me to be sounding great, but had some fundamental errors, like too low soundpressure or RMS (-9db is too low, IMHO, compared to for example Artifact303 - For a Better World - which is still a soft track so to speak, and that has a pressure of -6,8db, which seems to be a sweet spot) , and a bit soft on the high transients. I had to remaster it, to enjoy it properly, and my current RMS is at -4.8, which is too hard, but I tend to enjoy loud masters for some reason - a bad habit, and it would sound alot better at about -6.5db, but yes - PLEASE FIX THIS BEFORE RELEASE.

astralprojection replied to astralprojection's topic in 2016
Ops, how embarassing. Yea perhaps a mod will, Ill ask. -
Ive recently learned that there is an active Pro community in HOTS - and I am considering to becoming pro. I already play the game 8h / day - since I started about a week ago - and am soon high enough lvl to start my journey on the Ranked charts, where the game really starts. Since my first video from the game, ive become an absolute killing machine with Li-Ming, have perfected my different builds to match my intended playstyle - sometimes a killshotter, sometimes a Siege dmg doer, and sometimes doing all map chores. Different build for different tactics. There are enough depth in the game mechanics to allow for this and this is a very very well made game, in terms of balance. But I never couldve guessed the Pro scene was that big... Its not on par with SC2 but its still big, and large prize pools. I dont have a job now either, I truly aim on becoming one of the worlds best Li-Mings - so why not? I have the time and the passsion for it, and its a game I genuinely feel I am good at and will in fact become great at. In no doubt I will not rest until Im in the top 10 Hero Leauge for Li-Ming, EU. Ill still have many many hours to go until I hit lvl 30, to be able to start going Ranked - so what will happen then - will decide if my plans will fulfill or fail. I dont see me fail due to getting bored though, but I might fail on not becoming so great that I feel I might. Who knows. Ill try. HOTS has at least, given me a real reason to the idea of going pro, and its a fun concept, Ive never thought about that before. And I have the maturity and experience needed too - since I played Diablo 1, 2, 3 for about 10.000h - extrapulated over the fact that I have 1000+ hours just on the wizard in d3. Add my experience as a Mage in wow, where Ive spent more hours than Id like to admit, Li-Ming just is the absolute definition of what makes a good wizard a good wizard, and Ive ALWAYS selected wizards in games where one is avaliable, as first choice.
