Entry #19 https://www.discogs.com/Portamento-The-Port…/release/3089702 Funny how our perception of art depends and changes with era, time, personality, mood, even the time of the day. I do not know anything more subjective than art. When I first heard Portamento I was blown away. I remember thinking that's how NeoGoa should be made. But I did't get that feeling when I re-listened to it. Whether because I heard it so many times, or it didn't age that well, or I just wasn't in the right mood I do not know. But it is what it is. Still, a solid album.

There is nothing more subjective than art as clearly my next stop demonstrates

Entry #18 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Erta-Al%C3%…/release/2776370 Boom. The bomb has dropped. Pure acidic Goa Trance and an excellent cover as well. For me this is where Cronomi Records peaked.

Entry #17 https://www.discogs.com/Artha-Influencing-D…/release/2253740 Another gem from Artha. Nothing else needs to be said.

Entry #16 https://www.discogs.com/Artha-Fluori-Dolby/release/2137690 F******* Great Goa Trance.

Entry #15 https://www.discogs.com/Various-People-Walk…/release/1671912 Second compilation release and 2nd quirky title. I guess in festivals you do see a lot of people walking around in ways fit only to alien forms of life. Acidic Goa with many great names, more mature that then first release and....ohm, welcome Artha please everyone :)

No idea to be honest. Have a listen, well worth it. http://www.cronomi.com/#Freebees

Posting about them helps me keep on track. Gives purpose. As long as people post a comment here and there

Entry #14 https://www.discogs.com/Anakoluth-Beyond-Re…/release/2218490 Next release from Cronomi is a digital only EP from Anakoluth. It is available for free from Cronomi's website and yes, I made it into a physical release. Why not? the artwork was rdy :)

I know you had, check the very first post That's good, only years to go, presuming you don't buy any new music,

Entry #13 So after The Orb I decided to increase the bmps a bit Of to Cronomi Records and some fresh Psychedelic Trance. One of the few labels that joined the NeoGoa movement and has something interesting to say without its artists blindly copying the Etnica/Pleiadians sound. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Freshly-Cut-Tomato/release/1390986 With a quirky title that at first you think there is no connection with the music included. But re-listening to the compilation I think I get it. It's a fresh sound and exactly like tomatoes nobody loves them but nobody hates them either. It is a very solid first comp with all tracks being more than average (but not great either). My only complain is that in a lot of tracks you can easily hear the software synths used for their creation. Good start

You will find that artists are really friendly, in the end they only want to have their music released. The prices people will ask vary depending of whether it will be an exclusive track, who keeps the rights, how much will be the profit, digital or physical distribution etc etc. If you go for a percentage instead of a fixed amount for an unknown label you should expect something like 50-50% between label and artists (and then you split that 50% to each individual artist). The other thing you can do is give all the profits to a charity, you'll find a lot of artists willing to give you a track for free if they know/trust you. The easiest thing to do is get in touch with the artists. Have a concrete plan and numbers first and then do it

Entry #12 https://www.discogs.com/The-Orb-Moonbuilding-2703…/…/7138350 Highly enjoyable, your typical ambient/dub house/techno.

Entry #11 https://www.discogs.com/The-Orb-Featuring-David-G…/…/2761537 By this time I have completely lost interest to The Orb. Sorry and thank you for the memories.

Entry #10 https://www.discogs.com/The-Orb-Baghdad-Batteries-Orbsessions-Volume-III/release/1870783 Ambient House. Cute. Pass.
