Forest Freaks Records 1 The Sound is Revealed 7:02 2 Lonely Dogs From Siolim 6:59 3 Changes Come Harder 7:16 4 Passing Through 7:02 5 Defragmentation Inside 7:10 6 November 7:02 7 Unstoppable Fate 7:15 8 Just Us 7:08 9 Use Your Abilities 7:07 Second album from Domas Gudelis straight from the power and smoothness of forest psytrance! 9 tracks of very similar length on which the artist acknowledged he spent more time than expected, but the final output was really worth the wait. The music is more atmospheric and storytelling than your average forest, with more melodic and melancholic pads, and in total connection with what psytrance is supposed to be. This album will also please the people allergic to noisy forest, this release is quite smooth to the ears, it delivers a nice haunting, mystic and emotional touch and Domas did a nice job with the key changes. It is highly psychedelic, mental psytrance, it has all the ingredients we love in forest psytrance. Favorite tracks: #2, #3, #4, #6, #8. Dohm set the bar high to start the year :) Rating: 8.5/10.

Spiritual Digital 07:49 Cyborcosis are Jason Newell and Lucy Maundof, a duo of electronic musicians UK with roots in the early 90's house/trance/techno movement. I hesitated to post this review as the style is not purely psytrance, yet open minded psytrance or trance fans should be able to enjoy at least some of the tracks. It covers several genres: a blend of breakbeat, some drum & bass, techno synths, and what we like here when it comes to trancy atmospheres. The trance sounds and pads works very well on the syncopated binary rhythms and use of poly rhythms, even tough the specific rhythm of track #2 can be a little off-putting. You cannot help noticing influences from The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers in the music, sometimes Eat Static as well. It is not very complex though, the overall sound is very 90's and innocent, yet refreshing. There are some 4*4 beat tracks such as track #4, dreamy atmosphere in this one. For me the album really peaked with tracks #7, #9, #10 and #11, these tracks are simply catchy, they offer a sweet breakbeat / trance combination. I would do without the "deep shit" vocal sample in track #10 (and the vocals are too redundant) but I thought it was still the most convincing production here as the trance melodies were more developed and emphasized, more psychedelic and deeper. Nothing groundbreaking or very subtle but a decent release if you are into this kind of sound. Rating: 6.5/10. Listen / Buy: https://cyborcosis.bandcamp.com/album/resonance-of-the-gods

Hello. 01. Xamanist - Out of Time 02. Walpurgisnacht Projekt - Omega 03. JaraLuca - The Prologue 04. Wizack Twizack - The Tesseract (rated it 7.5 but should be higher) 05. Psylent Buddhi - Secrets of the Atom 06. Sneila - Rebirth 07. Sykespico - Perspective 08. Hedustma - Forms 03 09. Static Movement ‎– SiMiN (cheesy but grew on me) 10. Rezonant - Time Code Good year overall.

This track from Ghreg on Earth never gets old: Just the intro tells you it's gonna be dark and mysterious. The bassline should be louder but anyway what a great track.

Was about to say the same. By the way if you are into euro trance, this is certainly not bad:

This is not psytrance, you are looking at the wrong places Just last year we had awesome tracks like this: https://youtu.be/rs6Y_7pK59s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yOIPO68aD8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEmA9onupaA And the whole Xamanist album - Out of time (not pure psytrance but a blend of several genres, most of it psytrance, progressive and a touch of Goa): https://xamanist.bandcamp.com/

Wizack Twizack & Nevarakka - Voice Of Reason 09:06 10. Hux Flux - Finite Automata (Wizack Twizack Remix) 07:10 Wizack Twizack from Sweden used to be quite prolific in the psy-trance scene and this time he releases an album of 10 tracks, most of them are collaborations with an other Swedish composer, Nevarakka. Preamble: do not get turned off by the first three tracks. They are decent tracks, well made and all but they do sound generic to me, even though the opening track is indeed good in absolute terms with a nice softer progressive touch. In my opinion this release gets really interesting from track #4. This remix of a Logic Bomb track is more technoish and I find the overall rhythm delicious and funky, even trippy. There is a balance here between a fresh and sharper approach as opposed to the first tracks. Track #5 comes up as a nice surprise. Very different atmosphere to the previous track, there is a trance melody in the first half coupled with a very groovy and phat bassline, the melody in the second half sounds more uninspiring for me but the whole composition is stellar. The fourth and fifth tracks really unleashed the album for me, from that point it was never dull anymore. We have a variety of ingredients that make this style really interesting and a great experience on the dancefloor. Tracks #6 to #9 all have an awesome groove and are superb dancefloor material. The remix of the Hux Flux track is an odd one, it has a strange kickline with a big echo but once you get used to it you realize it's a fine effort to end the album. The Tesseract is a success in my book, it offers a wide range of varied basslines, it is gritty full-on psy-trance that make you move, at times reminiscent of the old school genre. It is also playful, sometimes progressive or funky and most of the time trancy. It always keeps focus and clarity. It's a solid album that I recommend to all lovers of this genre. Rating: 7.5/10.

Damn listened to it 3 times in a row now if it was an original track I would call it the masterpiece of the year.

Indeed I was talking about it on the review thread. not a fan of covers in general but this one is really well made.

X-dream - STOP is a great track, true it sounds loud but it fits the style, very powerful track, would have fitted perfect in the Radio album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjLmwa4WlOA

Let's quote it here It is replay for following review of pd: I think there are those options under the your messages: First one is you are not sincere and friendly. Second one is maybe you didn't listen enough that album. And i am sure if you listen few more time, that album possible to become your favorite!!! Or one other options, you already love that compilation but you didn't know to show your love.... I think you should to listen that compilation few more time and come here for to show your thanksgiving. I remember reading some of the posts from Goalogique on this forum and they have zero self awareness, to the point that I almost thought the whole thing was a troll job :)

be strong bro, hang in there!

Just found a gem. Track 3 of this compilation, starting at 20:50. I think this takes the cake and I apologize to those who will listen.

Listened to them all except Akanoid Fav: Space cat, Black hole, Bodh Gaya, favorite in the album is Im Rachen Des Jaguars, Gada-Gong (nice mid-tempo), X-Frame, that slow part is great, Katayama, not an obscure track though, it is in many compilations, I still love the acidic intro, Raia, great track.
