  1. This release evokes no emotion in me. I mean it's not bad, could be a lot worse, but the first post says it: MEH!

    It's not memorable. New school need not be bad, excellent examples of newer production were already pointed out. New school producers are often lazy and as we are lazy, we are painting them all with the same brush, hence all this negativity toward "new school".

  2. I used ethanol to clean my CDs of grease and other kind of dirt. As you said, the scratches are permanent.

     

    I read some "magic tricks" on the web like 10 years ago, when I was stupid, if you rub your CD with toothpaste / banana or god knows what, then miracles happen and your CDs are clean/scratchfree again!! It doesn't work, rest assured :D Kinda like when your bananas turn dark and then you do something absurd with them and they are as if freshly picked.

    Last 10 years everyone is crying about new school how is not like old school, but i can say i am happy it isnt! It passed 20 years of golden old school era and its supposed to go this way. Times are different so its the music.

    Yes, I agree with this sentiment. The problem is, artists will use that same argument to hide their lack of competence. Example: Think of Linkin Park in the early 2000s vs what it is now. "Freshening" one's style isn't necessarely bad (Dimension 5 -> RA), but it's not always good, either (Talamasca). New school can't be like old school, that's why we make the distinction. People are rather "crying" about the overall decline in production quality [at this point, its meaning is open to discussion]. [A handful of groups SEEM to be serious about what they are doing]

     

    Shoot me down for being a hater :blink:

  4. I listened to it and it brought back memories. The first reaction, though, was to listen to the original tracks. I have nothing against full-on psy, hell naw, I love it.. not like this, though.
    The funny thing is, to this day two of my favourite goa tracks are by Talamasca himself, that's unlikely to change. Three guesses what they are, though. He was an entirely different man in the 90s.

    The title for the release is EXTREMELY not fitting. Why? There is no goa in the release and yet the title leads the listener to believe they are in for some goa.

    The idea is to give a short 8-ish minute seminar for each artist on some selection of the bigger names in goa history, including AP, Etnica, S. Posford and M. Freeland to name some. He packs parts of their popular tracks into those 8 minutes and full-ons them. It's tasteless.
    There is no track-by-track analysis required. There is no original content.

    I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone who wishes for a "brief history of goa trance".

  5. You gonna pass that blunt or what?

     

    Jokes aside, I am competitive. Even though I don't want to "feel superior" to anyone, I like to win. There is always a bigger fish in the sea, so if the kind of fish does something I'm into and does it better, it only gives me motivation to best him/her. The sad thing is I often make it look like I don't care.

  6. If the kick had more bass? You mean like hardstyle? But then goa wouldn't be goa, anymore, would it? :)

    I have found lots of variety in dnb, early dubstep and different psy genres. I haven't found the same in hardstyle or techno, I have listened to HS, I get bored of it within a few days. Not the same with psytrance, especially goa.

     

    Your friends seem to argue that quality is determined by popularity. I can't agree with that.

     

    Ubiquity of the kick is just a calling card of the genre. I don't think any further than that. There no doubt is some history behind it.

  7. Battling with fucking ransomware I have no idea how it got in. It was not a battle, it was a slaughter. Long story short. ALL my shit is gone. gg wp

     

    On the bright side, it allows me to give the middle finger to windows. Ubuntu back in da houze

  8. It's remarkable how differently we perceive. I listened to the Lost in the wild album yesterday and while it is good, it isn't as amazing to me as Sky input or Daze. I feel like Sky input has more guts with the in yo face melodies. Lost in the wild, it feels more cautious, it doesn't attack me :/ (or if it does, I can't feel the rush)
