Xenomorph - Prognosis 1776
Actually the entire Demagoguery Of The Obscurants album is quite on the heavy side (and absolutely fantastic).
Kinda something like this. Really nice track tho
Maybe I'm miss-using the word heavy guitar. Tracks were dark but Thierry was making cutting melodic landscape sounds on his electric guitar. Im sorry I am really trying to describe it but Im really F*ucking stupid when it come to technicalities in music
-
I went to a party a few months ago where Thierry Gotti from Spectral and Holeg Spies attended and when they came on stage they started rocking this weird blend of psy-trance and baddass heavy guitar with Thierry on the Guitar ofc. It was beyond epic. They created a very serious and unique atmosphere.
Also I heard similar tracks on local retro trance parties but I cant figure out which or whose tracks they were.
Post such tracks bellow if you know any.

Im not a grumpy old goa trancer, but I am a grumpy goa trancer in general. Im almost militant sometimes. Nothing is as good as true goa is. For some reason when someone posts Talamasca or some pay-trance on FB for an example, I feel the need to tell them that they're listening to shit and that I can teach them the true way. I contain myself most of the time but yeah.

I literally have no idea. The last 2 tracks are correct and they match with the tracklist but Im not hearing Jungle Storm anywhere in the video.

Thanks but that's not it unfortunately

The track starts at 8:25
According to discogs (https://www.discogs.com/XP-Voodoo-%D0%A3%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D0%A1%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B0%D0%BA/master/147867) it should be "Chakra & Edi Mis - X-Files" and it has this monkey sample at the beginning but otherwise it doesnt have that much similarity so I'm guessing it might me a remix but I can't find the correct one on youtube.
I'm totally confused by this video...Help?

Also true is Acid fetish. Acid house, Acid Techno, Acid electro, Acid Ambient, Acid Goa? Fuck yeah. He he.

Psychedelics while they should de-condition people from their social organizations, do not seem to be having that effect. I wonder why? Do psychedelics truly decondition people? Is the only result of psychedelics in the western modern civilization a hippie woodstock chaos? Or are party people just not really psychedelic? Perhaps not really serious in this "psy" thing at all?
Psychedelics do to you what you want them to do to you. I did acid dozen of times and since then I am a completely diffrent person. I criticize everything and am very skeptical since then. I was 17 when I did it the first time and it is around that time I started reading my favorite writer Nietzche as you can see in the description. The energy of youth, acid and that very heavy anarchistic philosophy had a great toll on me. I started having many problems with authority in highschool and other students. The biggest problem Im having since Ive done psychedelics is that I know Im a hypocrite. I have these great ideas of true freedom, where we shatter all these bubbles of bullshit that we create for ourselves. But the problem is that Im too lazy, comfortable and scared to make a true devotion to my thoughts and philosophy. In this sentence Nietzsche is adressing people like me "Alas, there are so many great thoughts which do no more than a bellows: they puff up and make emptier."
My point is, it is hard to rebel. Be it against a music scene or the system (that was so cheesy). And many people do drugs just to have fun. To tickle their senses and that is all. Which is fine too.
Also, my ego got bigger (which I think is a positive thing) after using acid even though I did experience ego death during one of the trips. How can you be great if you dont become ashes first, right?
Today psy-trance isn't that connected to the anti-culture movement like it used to during the 90's. You shouldnt make a connection between people who use acid and listen to psy to rebellion anymore even if it is true for some. Now psy trance is just about music and nothing else.

I made a thread where I asked for recommendations of good post-2010 melodic goa albums and a fellow psynewser @Kitrinos recommended this album. I went on discogs, gave it a look and honestly I didnt take it too seriously because of the cover art. Fractals in the colour of rainbows I mean come on. A month has passed since then and I decided to listen to it. You all know the saying that people spam all the time "Dont judge a book by its covers", right? Yeah well, this is just that and boy do I regret not giving this a listen sooner. Thats what you get for being a shallow S.O.B.!
Who is Omegahertz? I have literally never heard of the guy before I was recommended this album. Omegahertz is a project by Dimitrios Pouranis from Athens, Greece started in 2004, according to Discogs.
This has everything I needed. It is melodic, intense, acidic and very psychedelic. I will leave the technical details for more experienced psy-trancers.
Personally, I am in love with this! It is one of the best melodic albums I've heard and I hope that this review will draw some deserved attention to it! I fullheartedly recommend this to every psy-trancer!
My favorite track is "Golden Ratio"
Grade: A- (minus because of the cover art and the melodies sound a bit too familiar sometimes, but overall it does everything it does very well and makes for an amazing journey)

I can hear the goa inside this but its definitely a mix of many genres. I dislike the morning elements and the fact that is sounds light but this is amazing. Locos and Oasis are my favorite. Those storming moments in both tracks brought tears to my eyes. Really god damn good!
I would really love to see this on Bandcamp. I probably wont buy it otherwise
-
Tnx Pad for mentioning this album in the Goad review thread. I didnt know this existed.
This is like a really cute kid born with a full head of hair from mom Goa and dad Psy. Im in progress of going through this one but I gotta say Im loving it.

Well I havent heard anything completely new in goa trance since albums from 1998-9 so I personally dont use it as a criteria, nor do I expect novelty since I think goa is a done deal in that department. Dunno why you people obsess over what was "cool" in what year and who's style it apparently copies.
Its like trying to be a genius classical musician after Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin as so on. You just simply cant play something that classical enthusiasts havent heard before after so many prodigies in the past. Same applies here.
Im saying this because by that logic, everything after the golden years is average by that standard.
This was just a thought. -
I loved this soundtrack when I was watching the movie. It fits so perfectly
Also this one
-
An example of what mastering is about:
This is my own track mastered by myself
this is exactly the same source file mastered by a professional at Goa Records
They sound clearly different (and frankly I like my verision better but that's another story).
Okey so what I hear is: I think the first one sounds better, I have no idea why. The other one has louder bass going one and it kinda sounds flat. Im so pro
I think i dont have the ears to actually hear the exact difference
-
So everybody is using the term "mastering" often, even myself but without actually fully understanding what it is. I have some base idea that it is some sort of polishing of tracks.
Could someone explain to me what it is in a very dumbed down version since I have no music education.
Also add examples of well and badly mastered tracks if you can

Pleiadians - I.F.O. (surprised, anyone?)
OMG thank you! I thought I was the only one! The only track I think deserves the hype is Maia and its the only one I bother to listen to

Astral Projection - Trust In Trance
I feel like vomiting when trying to relisten this.
Especially if I hear Mahadeva 95 somewhere on a party, I just go outside and wait for it to pass. I think that that is THE most overrated track ever made. When you mention goa to a psytrancer here in Serbia there all like "Yeah yeah mahadeva kabala kickass broo!"

I usually rely heavily on reviews and grades on discogs. I shouldnt because a negative review doesnt mean that I wont like something, but thats how I roll.
But take Children's reviews for an example. That guy gave one of the best psy-trance albums grades like 3/10, 5/10... Like why the hell was that dude even listening to psy-trance if he didnt even like it??!?! Anyway yeah, Im always like "what the hell" at his reviews
-
Yeah, I love it!
The sound is so raw, so primal, even bare-bones at times, but yet it doesn't feel old like some of the CDs released at that time. It's got this tribal, very techno-like attitude, very clean and sharp sounds but at the same time it's varied enough to not be boring - some tracks are more gentle, more melodic with almost typical psy/goa-like arrangements and big climax; while others lean towards relentlessly banging, dark and trancey styles a'la stuff released on Psychic Deli or TIP Records. What you notice at first is that the music is kind of minimalist, very pure, with simple progressions and not a lot of fancy transitions or effects - but then, the more you listen, the more you discover that it's actually the small things that make all the difference: the sounds constantly shift, modulate, develop; the effects are there but are so delicate and cleverly applied, that they create a sound of their own.
Prime example would be "Non-terrestrial Intelligence", where cleverly applied, dynamic reverbs and echoes transform the otherwise typical acid line into haunting, unsettling and almost spooky melody in the vein of "Alien Nation" by CoP.
There's many more "small" things like that, though:
- the techno bassline and strings in "Rotating Rama",
- hammer-heavy kick and highly resonant main lead in "Interstellar Mutation",
- seizure-inducing urgency of the bassline in "Juddervision",
- dark, sci-fi atmosphere and crazy acid-line of "Dimension Expansion",
- wobbly rhythmic foundation and Prana's "Primal Orbit"-like climax in "Narcosynthesis",
- deep, dense and mysterious acid layering of "Cybermat",
- tribal, vocals driven sound of "Karmenbozia".
Do yourself a favor and get this one immediately.
5/5
Everything he said!
When this album grabs a tempo it doesnt let go! No climaxes, maybe a few breaks. In some moments it reminded me of "Trippy Future Garden." Very rich hypnotic sounds and steady basslines that make this more of a marathon journey instead of a sprint.
Im considering buying this!
Anjuna Records where art thou? Id like to see more releases from these guys!
-
Im getting a tan just by listening to this. Rich middle-eastern-indian-ish melodies that make you feel you're riding a fucking war elephant through the roman legions n shit!
No weak tracks here at all, and even the melodies dont sound cheesy as I thought they would.
Favorite tracks "Shine Like Gold" and "Drums of Babylon"
Ill be relistening to this for a long while!
-
Btw I relistened to this one after a while and... I'm just gonna say that it had the 25% of my slavic blood boiling!
Mythical, epic and beautiful beyond the power of description of words.Keeps sending me this vibe which I also kept getting while I was reading all Tolkien's books. Not exactly relatable, but thats the epicness it has to it I guess. Wonderful.
Amazing job neighbors!
