Yes the first and second Filteria album. Haha, Ultimae covers are indeed different but then again there is not much Neo Goa going on over there. But no, I rather dont like them either. TOO minimal. And again, thats exactly my point. Im just one guy venting my opinion, and it comes down to taste. So why should anyone care about what I have to say, really? Noone needs to, if they dont want to.

this isnt very close but considering i spent about 10 minutes the sound could definately be created using reasons subtractor. just have to fiddle with the filter and use whatever key you want the note to be played. I just used one note, the original sound is probably two or more notes playing together. i also only used one Oscillator (saw). the "filter sweep" was just an LFO controlling the Frequency/cutoff. and a default reverb and delay as sends. and of course a chorus as insert aswell as a stereo-enhancer. all within reason, no post-production at all. http://picosong.com/ueXx/ (no critique or bashing needed, i realise its not the sound.) so spend an hour or so and youll probably get pretty close!

I didnt know this, since I do not have facebook, and never have actually. I guess my initial critizism was directed at Neogoa label AND Suntrip label, it has since been switched towards the entire Neo Goa scene. If It came across as I was picking on Richpa Personally, I must apologize to him and that is indeed an heartfelt apology. I know he struggles and probably makes 2-3 covers/week. But my (or anys for that matter) critizism shouldnt be boyied due to someones feelings might get hurt (never said yours did, Richpa) and I (and all of us) are entitled to our opinions. And since the same type of Albumart has been produced since the first Filteria album, lack of a few one and there - and Richpa is responsible for many of them - aswell as Suntrip - sure, my critizism is directed at them a little bit more so than any other labels. Since they are the two major ones currently. But like I said, my critisizm is towards EVERYONE who are making artwork for Neo Goa music. I would like to end again, by saying, Im just one guy, Im not speaking for more than one person. And sometimes critizism must be made in a somewhat "harsh" manner to come across in a way that someone really listens.. Anyway, I have given some examples of good artwork (I could me more precise than just some Global Sect releases of course) but why would that matter. Noone cares about my opinion when it comes to what I like. But when it comes to things I DONT like, I seem to create alot of fuzz. For me, the fuzz is good because it has people talking about it. But I dont want to hurt anyones feelings doing it.

its probably a standard subtractive or maybe FM synthesizer like for example Subtractor in Reason, using probably the ordinary saw wave, at a somewhat low key, i'd say somewhere around the C1-C2 octave range. It sounds like it has a chorus effect used as an insert, thus creating a stereowide effect, and it has distortion programmed like the distortion on a Roland 303. I'll take a look if I can re-create it, if I can just get Reason to work on Windows 10 as I just upgraded... :/

Wow, I didnt realise blatantly taking out all my negative words out of context like that was grounds for a fair discussion. Is this usually how you handle arguments? Nitpicking the words of a post, then replying only to those words? If you read my post and had the decency to actually quote all of it, you would realise even though it has harsh words, it is yet constructive critisism. I would like the covers of all New School Goa albums be completely revisited, and not so bland and generic as they are right now. Again, Im not pointing fingers at anyone, I am pointing fingers to the entire "cover making industry" if you get my meaning. No labels in particular. However Suntrip and Neogoa seems to have the worst covers as of now. Global Sect has really really good covers to name a label with great covers (most of them). Bashing would be JUST saying bad things, i.e your "quote" from me. Childish way of argumenting with someone if you ask me. Dont take it personally, I just wish you would go a different direction entirely. I am just one person, you can either chose to listen to my input or completely ignore it. I respect you for not acting immature, and yes I do like the music you guys put out. And I thank you for that. Again, its not personally, its most covers in the entire scene. Just go check most cover-arts on Ektoplasm, sure, they are indie labels, and indie artits, and most of them arent pros - but they all go for the "fractal, mandala-ish, hippie type" designs.. And I would like it to change. Again, Im just one person, venting my opinion on the subject matter. And I respect you for not taking it personally and not acting immature like the other guy. Cheers bro.

(first of all, no im not a troll or a recurrent user (ive read this site for quite some time and im not one of those people, i mask my IP EVERYWHERE because im paranoid seeing as it is incredibly easy hacking a website such as this and getting the database) Anyway, besides the incredibly boring generic "neo goa" album "art" the sound is nice and groovy. Good album. But I reeeeeeally would wish someone really would do something about these shi**y artworks. Every single album looks almost identical. And equally bad. Im not trying to sh*t on anyone, Im saying it as constructive critisizm. Ive seen these crappy artworks being released time and time and time again, and really, its the face of Neogoa (not the label, the music) even if you want it to or not. And it is NOT sending the right message. I think Im entitled to my honest opinion without being bashed for it. The artwork is incredibly bad and even I could do a better one using just photoshop and a Fractal Generator (pick your tool). The fonts are terrible, the imagination is terrible, or rather LACK of imagination. Have "we" gotten so lazy? This looks almost as good as some Transwave record from 1996. Back then it was cool. Now its LAAAME. Again I want to bring up Nova Fractals EP Lost Souls. That one is awesome. Learn from that. Not everything Goa related must have to do with fractals and poor psychedelic imagery with fonts not even searched for, but found within Photoshop's default font library. Ugh.

no offence meant but, this is the epitome of what is ruining the trance scene. 100% bland generic no-soul commercial garbage. Again, just my honest opinion which I am entitled too. I could sometimes enjoy a bit twilight fullon at times, but this is so generic it is almost sarcastic. Please dont get offended by some unknown guy from the internet. Thats just waste of your energy. Im sure someone here will love this.

Yes you are absolutely right. Uncontrollable synths can go haywire The stereo and antiphasing can cause unwanted effects when standing in different places in the room. It can also of course cause interesting effects aswell. this is a screenshot of the PAZ analyzer from Waves, and the lower window with the two phases is where you want to look. put this vst (or similar free ones, there are a bunch) on your master channel, and try to do your best to fit all your intstruments inside the phase range. that way your overall sound SHOULD stay somewhat the same

O M G. * Blue Planet Corp - Antidote (Pleiadians LIVE 2105 remix) perhaps?!?! * Crop Circles! ZOMG. I wanna hear Pentagon, and Full Mental Jackpot (Pleiadians Remix) Live ;((( * Technossommy - Live 15 minute version of V.T.O.L perhaps? * DJ Jorg - Spiritual Healing Remix LIVE?! Well, I could go on. AAAArrrghhh.... Epic proportions and the hype is definately real.. Why god. Why did you curse me with such bad finances all my life that now at 30+ I have nothing but debt and poor income. Whyy. And a panicdisorder at that which requires me to find relief outside the legal forum ;( ;(

Celestial Intelligence - Perpetual Energy VA - Aurora Sidera

I dont think its the frequencies that appear to change, I think its the possible Stereo-Wide effect that does indeed change where you stand in your room. Most tracks have many instruments in mono (kick, bass, many leads) and stuff like hihats and fx sounds are usually in stereo, and some are stereo-enhanced, or virtual surround effect. This is probably what you are experiencing.

High all? Pun? High to you too, then

This is a very decent album to the Newschool genre. But I just have to mention the album covers of many many of these Newschool albums. They are very very similar, and almost always has the same font and glow on the text, and the fractals and art are almost identical. Seems like every album should have more unique art, is it like one guy who does most Newschool releases lol? Most specifically Neogoa label and its parent and daughter labels. I just found it a bit interesting and perhaps a bit boring. I think especially the font and the glow effect used on the text - these could at least be more unique, to whoever makes the art. Use maybe more futuristic fonts (dafont.com) and use different glow effect so the albums look more unique. Also I wouldnt mind going away from the whole fractal design theme. Example is Nova Fractal - Lost Souls EP. Minimalistic and cool. The new Koxbox album is also pretty damn cool. I also think Suntrip can step it up a bit. Look at InnerSpace - InnerSpace, VA - Shaltu, VA - Aurora Sidera and alot more. They are indeed not good. Just my two cents and maybe this is not right thread to put it perhaps it needs an own topic. I dont want to be negative, but instead promote change for more innovative and perhaps a more minimalistic approach to the album covers. Thanks. Bye!

Hello im new here. just wondering how many users are on here? at first glance it seems like big active forum but now i check for a few days and it seem very very quiet, hardly any activity. shame because there are not any other goatrance forum :/

I love many Talamasca tracks too, but no One album in Particular is good enough to host too many great ones. And sadly this goes for many artists. Thats why I often enjoy really good VA's instead.

not in a particular order as its all based on mood. Astral Projection - Amen Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy Astral Projection - Another World Blue Planet Corp. - Blue Planet Yahel - Waves of Sound Yahel - For the People Vibrasphere - Lime Structure Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger Cosma - Nonstop MWNN - Interstate Highway I didnt include any Pleiadians or other wonderful artists because I dont think they have albums that are good through and through. I could however put a bunch of VA's on this list too, that includes tracks like Lazy Spiral, Time Dilation, etc. This goes for other artists aswell. For example Vibrasphere. I love about 20 more songs by them, but no particular album contains too many great ones to fit the list. Only albums that have maximum of 1-2 "fillers" is my critera for above.

Where do you keep your collection? Here:

all of them pretty much. I really adore Vibrasphere and is one of my all time favorites. But if I have to choose one favorite track it would be Thermal Twist. Incredibly powerful and dance-able, and alot of nice acid in there aswell. And of course some beatiful melodies.
