acid being

Totally agree with this logic and I said similar back when people were still seriously discussing the possibility of a 3rd Hallucinogen album. Just because hundreds of others have copied a style doesn't mean we can't enjoy a few more iterations from the masters that began it all. It's not like we're forced to sit listening to all the other derivations on repeat year after year even though many here probably choose to. Nostalgia is a big factor when an artist goes back to their roots. Also remember for everyone who complains that they have heard it all before, there will be plenty of old timers who would complain if it was too different from the early stuff. I just say why not have both, across multiple albums or in one.

I will give it a listen. I adore Flying Rhino: First Flight and used to listen to it regularly so I am sure I will like this too, though I have heard at least a few if not most of those tracks before. Ancient Lands is one of my top tracks. Retrodelica was their other compilation that I liked.

I would say so. I only joined 3 years ago but I was lurking here for years before. You are doing an awesome job of writing a lot of new posts. Every post helps bring this place back to life. The more we keep it up the more others will join in. Maybe.

I usually listen to whole albums and sometimes compilations. Almost never playlists of individual tracks though occasionally I will use playlists of multiple albums while working. On the best albums of some of my most favorite artists there are rarely any truly poor tracks. I am thinking of things like Dimension 5 - Transdimensional, both Hallucinogen albums, anything by Elysium, all of RA's stuff. Basically what abasio said that a good album has a cohesive and interesting journey. I will have to give MFG - The Prophecy some more listens to comment on that. With MFG I started out listening to Pure Energy a lot and never got bored with the tracks on that, but not listened to their earlier stuff quite as many times yet. I do listen to a lot of Goa trance albums by other artists to try and find more stuff I like and sometimes to write reviews. And in other cases, sure, it can get boring or samey after a lot of listening. I usually listen while I am busy going about my day, so if it was a playlist of loads of different artists, I often wouldn't know who I was hearing unless I sit down at the computer and check for the best stuff.

OK, I will then. It means something that you took the time to say so. Thanks.

I could write more posts but then like 60% of the new content would be from me and honestly my content isn't all that great. I will try and write at least a couple more reviews before the end of the year. Damn, I sound like a broken record. Yeah, not all that great.

I am happy to discuss production techniques from time to time but can we please keep that to the Music Making / Production section and keep this thread about my specific tracks?

I threw together an acid breakbeat track because humans have broken the world.

Thanks. There are certainly things I would improve but I had spent far too long on this one, so onto the next. I love it up to 1:42, then the second synth pattern sounds a little harsh don't you think? Then from about 1:58 to about 3:20 it's just deliberately weird and experimental - maybe too weird or maybe not weird enough? Anyone else got any feedback please?

Too Much Data – Tmd 7:34 I am putting this up as a mini review for now so that others have a chance to listen and add their own reflections, as I am short on time currently. I need to give it a few more listens for it to sink in but my initial impression is extremely high quality sounds, loads of nice acid combined with the trademark MFG slightly dark sort of robotic sound effects and some great melodies and hard beats and basslines. When you have been saturating your brain with as much Goa as I have, it becomes difficult to rate new content fairly when 95% of it is slight variations of sounds and patterns you have heard thousands of times before. But paradoxically, if you are like me you will still find yourself seeking out these classic sounds over and over again. The way I rationalize it is someone who reviews classical music can't really complain about being sick of the piano, if that makes sense. Anyway, this album has loads of the classic acidic Goa sound. I find it very easy to listen to. It does not at any point get irritating and even the more generic bits are not boring. If I listened to this with a fresher pair of ears I would probably rate it nine out of ten or higher, so it is good stuff. State of Mind has some catchy synth melodies and voice samples and is one of the tracks I enjoyed the most. Circus of Life has a nice bassline, some lovely bubbly acid and a delightfully rough drum beat. I may add some thoughts on the other tracks when I get some more time. Overall this is an exciting album and I will definitely be listening to it a lot more. Provisional score: 8/10 https://hommega.bandcamp.com/album/t-m-d

Check out my new Goa Trance track based on an Indian raga. The Poorvi raga is 500 years old and now rarely performed. It has a mood of mystical contemplation. This starts out as a 131 bpm midtempo track before rising to 145 bpm and finally returning to the slower tempo to complete the cycle.

Really good interview and I just wanted to say this double album is my favorite of Proxeeus's music so far. He has spoiled us with both uptempo and downtempo continuing the same atmosphere and narrative, dripping with darkness. I read more of the interview and it is not just good, it is one of the most sincere, open and complete interviews I have seen with a musician. He gives great advice to aspiring musicians too. Read it.

Oooohhh those downtempo tracks are exquisitely delicious. Soooo dark. Nice work!

Seems good so far. The bass arrangement is really nice. Bass sound is OK. The melodies have a good sound. Not sure if they are a tiny bit fast but that is most likely just my taste. Would need to hear how the track develops to really know. Effects and percussion are really good.

Don't know what everyone else is doing but I will revisit this topic when I have given Filteria's stuff some more listens. Everything after Sky Input is still quite new to me. Nova Fractal I also only recently started listening to and he is great.
