  1. I've been listening to old and new techno and find the difference to be much less space available in tracks. New can be the true wall of sound effect, annoyingly they also like to fill tracks with wash over like sweep fx. There's some good stuff too but I don't hear many people complain about modern techno despite the similarities between it and modern Goa. Ah fuck it let's just call it Neogoa. Also the popular hiphop of today sucks, it feels like people only like it because they are told its cool. Good underground and less popular stuff everywhere. Production wise not as much has really changed. But cooler influences from other genres are seeping in keeping it pretty creative.
  2. For me: Celestial Intelligence, Arronax, Artifact 303, Ephedra, Fiery Dawn & Median Project are all most recognisable as new school. The MOST new school sounding out of them... I couldn't say, so let's just pick Artifact 303 or Median Project.
  3. Good topic, I heard Ypsilon a year into my Modern Goa exploration and instantly labelled it as old school I still do really. In the beginning I defined old school by the sound. Softer kickdrums being the main distinction. Now I can't honestly say that I can tell the two era's apart (Unless it's some of that sexy cosmic goa). If I had to define the the two I would just define by year. Produced Goa after 2004? Sounds like Old School? Sorry mate it's just Goa. NeoGoa on the other hand; I would only really call Timewarp, Global Sect, Comsic styled goa 'NeoGoa' and even then I think it's a stretch to label it as such. I prefer 'Goa' although I do use a bunch of other labels when i talk about it.
  4. I'm going to come out to Europe for some parties in 2020. Unfortunately Australia's terrible weather, nasty citizens, shocking festival culture and disgust in psytrance keeps the Goa Artists away . Looking forward to more Xamanist and hopefully will here from the rest shortly. Not that 2019 releases has left me wanting.
  5. A review! I saw this release week ago but forgot to save it, then Mad Fusion EP came out and I got confused as to which was what. Wouldn't have found this for weeks if you didn't serendipitously make this review. Ohm Mind's sound becomes so distinct in collabs & I love it. A real mover of an EP with distinct layers that dance around each other. I don't normally buy EP's (for no reason in particular) but I'll be picking up the latest two with Ohm and looking into some more work from Laughing Space Devil.
  6. This is certainly the most patience I have ever exercised.
  7. Sounds very Merkaba-esc
  8. Baah! I was wondering what you were up too. Saw this on Bandcamp 2 days ago and wondered where the promo was. I haven't listened yet but I'm super excited for some new Ohm Mind material.
  9. What's happened to our dear producer friends? Has anyone heard from them? Lectro Spektral Daze Psy-H Project Alienapa Xamanist Arronax Antares Where's the gang? What's the deal? What's Happening? Who else is MIA?
  10. I used to reach it when I had just woken up and in my near slumbered state thrown some earphones in, I would generally end up getting sent through galaxies and lucid dreaming things like flying and space orgies ;). This doesn't happen anymore, I've either grown to familiar with the styles structure or lost some part of my younger self that could do that. Some songs still trip me out and fill me with euphoria, so Yes I would say psy certainly produces altered states of consciousness.
  11. Haha. Na that's what I thought for ages. The track is 'step to the stars'. I'm guessing Miranda had one called 'second step...'
  12. Most research has found that pirates of music were never going to purchase that music in the first place. Pirating progressive psy and my first two goa albums (not knowing what goa was) is how I had the opportunity to fall in love with it. Now I'm Mr Purchase Everything only. Point being, it sucks, but maybe your music had the chance to trip someone the heck out and make them think 'what the fuck just happened to me?' 'I want that to happen again' Anyway this is my favourite album of yours and for me the best yet. Its like the amalgamation of all your best styles rolled together. Will absolutely be purchasing on the next paycheck.
  13. Hi Oscar South and welcome in. You've come at a hell of a time for this forum but good to have you here all the same. The psy influences in the track are pretty neat, as is the entire track. Nice stuff.
  14. On the first track and hot damn. Pretty unreal.
  15. Genuinely thrilled for this release. What a beautiful cover as well. I'll be making this the 2nd CD of Goa I have purchased.
  16. Every time I see a comment on this thread I think that it could be THE moment.
  17. So true Edit: And somehow despite how good Alienated Hallucinations might be, it still isn't the best on the album. @GS Concept isn't wrong about Nagual.
  18. So whats our deadline this year? And is this thread going to be 'the' thread?
  19. Our most sincere gratitudes to you Sir Kuch
  20. Even the mention of the word 'experiments' shoots the melody right back into my consciousness.
  21. This is just about all I could ever ask for in 2019. More than excited for these releases.
  22. Gubbology really hit a home run with this genre mash. He and Sab Kuch are the only forest I listen to. Actually Javi is in there too. haha that's my three artists right here. https://trollnroll.bandcamp.com/album/gubbology-anachronism
