I'm a big lover of Nibana.
His 2 part CD Shūmatsu No Tani is pretty wicked. Not necessarily psybient but it has does the same thing for me as psybient. And then some. Earth from Above is just as good and more atmospheric and a little bit slower and has some live instruments and is very relaxing and is just all around bliss.

anyone can clear up the story behind IFO album? is it real that Carlo made it all by himself cause he was injured and coudlnt tour with the rest of the group ?
I've heard something like that too, and it was all written in the space of a single month.
I heard it was all written in Wingdings by his 7 year old daughter

Mwnn - lunar cycle should be an excellent opener for an hour or so niceness to come
I swear i've never heard this before yet it sounds so familiar. Awesome track.
@Manuser The Loren x track was actually pretty catchy, it didn't go for too long so I didn't mind the whole thing.
@etherdesign No sould - The Bang was a banger, really liked it.
@Psychedelic Superbeast Moon Child
Hot damn.
I've also found this from Khetzal, Incidentally it mixes really well with Morphic's Intro (If Bpm Was better it would be perfect)
And of course there is always this

I’ve been working with some people who are visiting from a customer, and chatting about random stuff when we’re not talking about work. Someone brought up music and we had to do the obligatory “what music do you listen to” thing. When I mentioned psytrance of course the first response was “...what trance?” And the second response was “oh I think I know what that is. Like Deadmau5 right?”
.....
sigh
“...no, not really”
And then today the same guy tried again by mentioning Tiesto. :|
I just say infected Mushroom or vin vici and be done with it.

In malmö where I come from its not too rare, it has a big goa scene

Woah Malmo has a Goa scene? My wife's from Landskrona, I go there once a year but have given up on Sweden's trance scene. Never give up is the lesson here.

Etnica - The Juggling Alchemists Under The Black Light (as well as Pleiadians, Crop Circles and Live in Athens releases from DAT Records)
Being new to this awesome music, It might be the best purchase I've ever made in my life
been feeling the mystical vibes all day 
Well welcome in. The adrenaline, the excitement, the fun! I'm still relatively new and get blown away by almost every album. What a feeling.
Went and got myself some funk last week. Had to settle the balance with some island groove weirdness.

So what are the best tracks that come to mind when thinking about something that would set the scene for a great Goa or Psytrance set.
I think of The intro to Morphic Resonance's Perplexity album.
And Kalachakra by Artha.
What cha got.

Does Goatrance go with trumpets? That was the first question. Does Goatrance go with trump? Does Goatrance go with politics? and what does trance has to say about it?
These things we answered in Trump RisingI was worried that the track was going to be full of silly quips designed to poke fun at the guy. I was relieved when I couldn't personally connect the track with Trump.
But I'll bite all the same. What is Goa trance? Does it have feelings, can it breath, does it hold opinions and have the ability for suffering or joy? No but we do. Goa trance has nothing to say about politics, it is up to us to decide what we have to say about it and what medium we use to communicate those feelings and thought. Should the medium be trance? I can't say, but I can say that the hysteria surrounding one guy who says some crazy shit but really isn't that horrible shouldn't seep into our own heads.
The world was full of problems before Trump and his impact on humanity is going to be negligible. And now all of a sudden somehow he is the problem? Awfully simplistic thinking typical of our species. Yet the impact we allow one person to have on our minds is silly. The media hasn't learnt their lesson, the other politicians haven't changed, citizens have hardly found any wisdom in all of this. Has a rich person not been in charge of America? Has a president not funded some form of wall protecting their country from outsiders? I see the difference between T-dog and other presidents but think they are just superficial.
Good track though
Your production has gotten waaaay tighter and cleaner. pretty big improvement considering the time since your last release. The trumpets where cool but way better towards the end when they were mixed in with other leads. Overall i think the we can say that trumpets and trance work.
Out of kicks was definitely my favourite as it had the greatest emphasise on that clubby atmosphere that most the songs contained. I think I'd be able to play these tracks at any house party so well done. The vocals in track 1 weren't my favourite but not because they were bad just because that style of vocal trance ain't my thing.
I'm genuinely looking forward to the third instalment and can say that my eyes are set on that horizon of yours.

I'm sorry for contributing absolutely nothing to this thread but I had the voice from the "Honest Trailer" dudes in my head while reading your intro and it was hilarious.
OOOOOHHHH. I See. I plagiarised did I? Mr i'll just throw a galaxy in the Psychonaut Wiki eye and make the best album of my career.
I'm just joshing around of course
I had Honest Trailers in mind too.

Artist: Veasna
Title: 5ynergy - 5th Anniversary EP
Label: Self-released
Date: December 1, 20181. Dreams
2. Mu Cephei
3. Discovery
4. Infrared
5. ChromatronVeasna is Patrick Dinklage, a trance music maker who among other things likes producing trance and letting people listen to it.
I've heard it said that he balances between the old and the new like a complete champ. And no, I still haven't listened to Spectral flux
(I'm waiting to buy it), so until now I haven't had much of an impression.
But that all changes today. I put this bad boy on and ooh ah did i enjoy at least 4 of them.
Dreams: I played this in the car first, now I've had problems with my car speakers before making some trance (Lectro Spektral) sound bothersome. They strike again with the white noise snare that comes in at 1:20. I stuck it out, and tried again on a bunch of headphones, still annoying but not painful, sounds like the noise the protogoa team decided to bury in 89. Every part of this track is great bar for that one sound that persists throughout the entire track.
Mu Cephei: A super funky lead driven piece that doesn't run out of ideas. No sir this is pure floaty, happy trance, uplifting & fun.
Discovery: The happy atmospheres get pushed away as something more ominous begins. the intro is cool, the kicks are beefed up, the bassline rides between layers smoothly. Then the leads come in, and the zippiness begins and takes us away.
Infrared: This EP just keeps getting better and better. This track is craziness on heat, skittles on ice, stir-fry in Malaysia. You get it, its a good track, but it becomes AMAZING at the 4 minute mark. THICK leads come in and get swirled around by layers on layers. undoubtedly my favourite.
Chromatron: So where to now? Oh whats that? You can make an equally as wild track as infrared but completely different? Lord take me. I can't even tell if Dinklage loops his sounds, his leads go on and on and on and then they change and do it all over again. A close 2nd favourite.
This EP gets exponentially better as it goes on. each track is better than the last until it climaxes into a sticky mess of Goa fury. The last two tracks are what i'd recommend you buy this for, but you got a floaty number and a big basslined number too.
It's a shame the digipack kickstarter project didn't get it's legs and run away with our money but on the 8th of february 1942 general Arthur Percival surrendered Singapore to Japanese forces, after already stating "In going to Malaya I .... finding myself involved in a pretty sticky business with the inadequate forces which are usually to be found in the distant parts of our Empire in the early stages of a war." He was forced to surrender with a white flag in the lead of his forces, captured, and upon release blamed as being ineffectual as a General.
So things could be worse.
Definitely recommend this EP.

Well, nobody remixed A List Of Instructions For When I'm Human (my favourite from the original release)
You have good taste. My favourite too, the original still surprises me though.

I came across a word that reminded me of Cunninlynguists today. I used to love their work but haven't followed up since Goa trance infected me.
Turns out they have a side project called 'The Off Daze' super funky hip hop with great electronic production and pretty wicked lyricism.

Artist: Supersillyus
Title: The charade remixes
Label: Self Released
Date: December 20, 20181. Aeon Bahamut (Nibana Remix, Violins by Kendra Breen)
2. Charade (Radioactive Sandwich Remix)
3. The Great Shenanigan (Matt Carey Remix)
4. Charade (Soulular Remix)
5. Mirage A Trois (DRRTYWULVZ remix)
6. Mirage A Trois (eelko Remix)From the country that brought us big things that no one asked for
The album that instructed us how to feel human
And a bunch of friends who really should have all collab'd years ago (DRRTY WULVS, Nibana, Kendra Been, Radioactive Sandwich, Matt Carey, Soulular & Eelko).
Comes a remix album with a bunch of different styles and tempo's that you're either gonna love, or not give a chance because it's not your style.
P resenting
The album starts with a a Nibana remix. Did he give a classic a dark psy twist? No sir, this is pure squelchy instrumental funk coming at you. Kendra's violins add a nice spice and the rest of the track is littered with Nibana's synth work and deep atmospheres. All while keeping it's trippy edge.
Next up is a soft sweet thing that i wasn't expecting from Mr Sandwhich. A light track that Drift me off to dreamland at anytime of the hour.
Matt Carey is next. I wasn't sure about the beginning at first. Then i listened again and realised i had nothing to complain about. The rest of the track really takes off and turns into a funky dance hit. Probably my favourite
If you thought that things simply werent mystical enough yet well guess what Sonny Jim? Soulular has got the fix for you. A veeeeeery different version of charade is coming at us, the background melody and vocals are maintained but everything else makes it a cool trip of a track designed for laborious missions out to repair Ganymedes primary communication satellite.
So this album has been good. But are we dirty? I mean, we ain't DRRTY yet are we. Well the group who I've heard one track from to date are here to fix that. A big intro build takes into slow psybreak territory, I give it 2 whomp whomps.
Eelko finds a great balance between the original and a dark wobbly beast of a track. A bunch of trap tools are used to keep things fresh here. A really good closer.
What! Thats it? No one wanted to remix Trancendental Medication. Ya'll scared of a little challenge? yea yea alright Tsotsi, be happy with what you've got.
Look heres the deal. This album is fantastic. No low points and this along with the original album I am pretty much covered with a Supersillyus track for everymood. Well done to the gang and keep em coming.
Oh yea. Did someone say NYP!!!

Median Project - In The Depths of Space
in 2018
Posted
Really nice review.
Despite my love for this album (I come back to it again and again and don't see that changing) i haven't had the words to properly evaluate it like you do.
I'd say Median project is one of my favourite artists in the scene at the moment and his version of cosmic Goa pretty much incorporates everything i love about the genre. The melodies aren't to thin, the bass work doesn't vary too much but compliments each track well, the songs progress as a journey, the psychedelia is there. I agree that some tracks don't differentiate themselves so much but also agree that this doesn't really hurt the album as the style is just so enjoyable to begin with.
I listen to a lot of my music through mixing it alone on my sad little BCD 3000 mixer mounted on top of a sad little washing board, and find this hard to mix smoothly. But if I was on a dance floor listening to a Median Project set I wouldn't mind a track by track intro - outro set. In fact I would get completely lost in the magic of it all. At any moment you can focus on a different element of the tracks and find that it's really really nice. His use of vocals is also very subtle but sets the scene well for every track which they are used.
My main quip with the album is lack of proper outro's. Some tracks feel like they just get cut off, maybe CD space had something to do with that but I can't figure out another reason for a lack of nice smooth track endings.
One of the strongest artists at the moment IMO and someone who I hope to hear release more albums.
