acid being

This is one of the best tracks I've heard in ages (the other best tracks were mostly by Clementz) and obviously the older version is better. I feel like there's more midrange to bring out those colorful melodies!

I found this yesterday: In the comments Lemmiwinks compared one of the tracks to Mystical Experiences and actually a lot of the album is like it.

Yellow Magnetic Star - Son Of The Light I am enjoying this album right now. The trancey hypnotic beats, the beautiful chants, the gorgeous swirly, spacey pads and squelchy acid, interspersed with flutes, guitar loops, sitars and various other instruments. Fans of Shpongle will love this, but where Shpongle is a sort of melting point of just about every conceivable style and region of music, this album is more focused on trance, Eastern and tribal sounds. I found it via discogs.com because Charlie Clarke and Chris Borge-Lunde from Dimension 5 were involved in engineering track 5, Echoes of Life. I should also mention even streaming it on bandcamp the production and masterring sound spot on for me. Those basslines and pads are just yummy. https://yellowmagneticstar.bandcamp.com/album/son-of-the-light 8/10

It sounds ...OK. Just OK. I enjoyed the tracks Squelch, Electrosurge and Transmitter mainly for the acid lines and the layering and would give those tracks about 6/10. I get what you mean about it sounding generic. That can be a problem for a lot of new Goa but these guys should probably know better. It could do with a bit more variety from track to track and a few more surprises but maybe that is not what they were going for. I must admit the opening track was my least favorite as I got a bit bored until I skipped to the climax which was better. I am not disappointed because I am still not really a Filteria or Cosmosis fan. If RA released something like this I would be bawling my eyes out! I did not mind listening to the whole thing, there were enough good bits to entertain me. 4.5/10

I realized that last link I gave was supposed to be to another track but it ended up being a link to the whole album. Oh well, maybe you will enjoy it. As I say, it's got a lot of differences to The Infinity Project but it is definitely some quality psybient.

Possibly this, actually, in terms of the mellow mood and the flute being there, though the spacey textures are maybe less similar than in those other two tracks I posted. Worth a listen, anyway. https://dubsahara.bandcamp.com/album/temple-of-stars

It's a good track. In terms of finding something similar I guess it depends exactly what you are after. Overall it sounds like a more relaxed version of a Shpongle track, with less of the various instrumental bits in it. The sort of spacey ambiences do sound really nice. Maybe there is something in the space ambient genre to match it? Other than that, Greg Hunter has made loads and loads of spacey psybient so one of his tracks is bound to hit the right spot. Here's a couple of examples with vaguely similar textures, though these two tracks are maybe a bit busier than The Answer: https://dubsahara.bandcamp.com/track/artificial-dream https://dubsahara.bandcamp.com/track/octaphon-2 I will get back to you if I find something closer.

RA - Earthcall. Like all their albums, it is great. That just finished now I am listening to MFG - Project Genesis ("..and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?")

I heard it today. I enjoyed it quite a lot. In terms of style I feel that this is very much Another World part 2. I don't mind that at all, because I love Another World. Another World is maybe 10 to 15 % better than this, I would say. The acid didn't sound quite as good on this I think. Have to agree on a first listen that the mastering was not to my taste. It sounded like it had a bit too much treble, too thin. Maybe I can play with the EQ a bit. It was still a nice surprise and definitely something I will listen to every so often. I think I like it better than Dancing Galaxy, not sure yet. My favorite track is Into the Void which I loved. 7.8 / 10

Slam released a new album this year. I didn't even know they were still active. It sounds like it's straight out of a 90s underground club. Really like it! If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard Slam, their remix of We Are Phuture will appeal to acid fans:

I mentioned this track further up in this thread. Best, trippiest shoegaze track and probably my favorite track of all outside of actual psy/Goa. Toni's voice and those layers of sound!

I agree he has a lot of stronger material than Flux and Contemplation but I think a lot of people just don't get the references in that work. It is a musical representation of the COVID virus. I think the loopy music box like tune is supposed to be like a sinister analog of an ice cream truck, traveling around on its rounds all over the country, spreading the virus instead of tasty iced treats. Then all the spoken numbers obviously represent the exponential growth of the infections. That sort of abstract talky stuff was popular on some 70s psychedelic records as well.

On my DAW I can deactivate tracks but I can't automatically activate them partway through playback. I can work around it and it doesn't hinder the final recording, but it does mean if I have too many tracks I cannot audition everything in realtime because there would be too many plugins running.

https://backstage-secrets.com/blog/a-man-who-opened-up-a-whole-new-dimension-in-music.html The most amazing factoid in this one for me was this: My DAW starts to choke if I have more than about 40 tracks active at once. I wonder if he is having to pre-record a lot of those to audio, as 180 software synths running in parallel would just be insane, right?
