Hello people! I just released my first commercial soundbank (a psytrance soundbank for TAL Bassline 101). To celebrate both this and the 30th anniversary since the release of Hallucinogen's "Twisted", I created a free pack consisting of midi files for the whole album (along with a small soundbank for TAL Bassline 101 to get you started) - now yours to have fun with! You can get it here: https://payhip.com/BandofBuggered You can listen to audio demos on YT here: https://www.youtube.com/@BandofBuggered-q7p Do check out my psytrance soundbank too if you want - I think it's pretty neat (if you like retro psy), if I may say so myself! Cheers!

Suntrip Records – SUNCD81 CD 1: Dawn 1-1 Strange Fantasy 8:47 2-1 Broken Bass 7:53 3-1 Centurion 9:18 4-1 Chemical Imbalance 9:30 5-1 Flumerider 8:00 6-1 Magneto 8:53 7-1 Edge Of The Void 9:14 8-1 Datalabbsladd 7:45 9-1 Hymn 7:24 CD 2: Dusk 1-2 Messed Up And Wobbly 8:00 2-2 Attack 7:48 3-2 Evermore 9:34 4-2 Chrome And Silver 8:55 5-2 To Hell 9:44 6-2 Apex 9:21 7-2 Mega-City One 8:59 8-2 The King Of Kings 8:16 9-2 Requiem In Tenebris 6:34 https://suntriprecords.bandcamp.com/album/cause-principle-and-one-eternal With this excellent double album, I would argue BOTFBs have perfected their signature style of somewhat dark, intensely psychedelic Goa trance. At nearly 2 and half hours, I must confess I have not yet made it the end of this mammoth offering. Eternal is right. In short, I really like this music a lot. The first thing that strikes me as I listen to the first few tracks is they have excelled at conjuring up exciting textures. It feels deliciously gooey, soft and a little bit scratchy. In their earlier music I was impressed by the spatial effects and the same is very true here. Some of the melodies drift around as you listen and seem to take on a kind of almost 3D depth. This is very hard music, as even though the Dawn half of it is slower and mixed more softly, I feel a relentless drive in the looping patterns and continuous beats and there is a nice darkness even to the Dawn CD. The Dusk one is even harder, faster and louder. It has some great voice samples as well. No spoilers here. The only other thing is I don't totally get that cover art. Guess I need to stare at it for a while. Some kind of fairytale theme. 8.5 / 10

Too Much Data - T.M.D HOM-Mega Productions – HMD220 One half of MFG, Aharon Segal has teamed up with Chen Shmuel a.k.a. Atmik for this new Goa trance project. 1. Too Much Data – Deep Happiness 6:54 2. Too Much Data – Breaking Rules 8:00 3. Too Much Data – Runing In Circles 8:23 4. Too Much Data – Do You See Stars 7:26 5. Too Much Data – Change Of Direction 7:45 6. Too Much Data – State Of Mind 8:25 7. MFG – To Eternity (Too Much Data Remix) 8:32 8. Too Much Data – Circus Of Life 7:27 9. 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

I have moved my music into this thread as I am not on a label and the tracks can currently be freely downloaded from Soundcloud. I like to make Goa and acid techno, preferably with bits of darkness and ambience and usually on the more experimental side. I am a new artist who is constantly learning and evolving.

Various Artists - Acidum Influxum Suntrip Records – SUNCD77 What an exciting gem of a compilation we have here from Suntrip Records! If you love old school acidic Goa trance you may have been frustrated by a dearth of quality tunes from the big names in recent years. If so, I am pleased to tell you Suntrip and the artists have exceled themselves in putting this compilation together. My mind was blown by acid lines the like of which I had never imagined before. 1. Etnica - Golden Era 08:53 2. InnerZone - Heavens Gate 09:46 3. Hypnoxock - Magma 08:13 4. GoaD - Slayed303 06:35 5. Fiery Dawn - Fluoro Acid 07:20 6. Antidot & DICA - Soulbinder 07:50 7. SETI Project - Psychedelic Acid 08:08 8. Battle of the Future Buddhas - Tenderlion (Anthem Remix) 08:01 9. Binary Bliss - Analog Ascent 09:36 1. Etnica - Golden Era A stunningly good and hard track and it delighted me that Etnica are still releasing such classics today! 9/10 2. InnerZone - Heavens Gate We have eastern singing with a lovely wobbly acid line that goes great with the hard kick and bass. Then the acid goes wonderfully crazy, even more so towards the end where we get at least 2 or 3 acid lines simultaneously with lots of delay yet somehow it all fits together perfectly! 9/10 3. Hypnoxock - Magma This is very old school, hard acid with a slightly technoish feel. 8/10 4. GoaD - Slayed303 Another hard, driving track from a Danish newcomer to Suntrip. As the acid lines combine, this has a somewhat rougher, almost cacophonous feel which is nevertheless enjoyable. 6.5/10 5. Fiery Dawn - Fluoro Acid This one, from another newcomer to Suntrip but not to Goa trance , has an intriguing, hypnotic and quite dark beat with some wild, urgent sounding acid. 7/10 6. Antidot & DICA - Soulbinder Suntrip tells us these acid techno artists have recently been making Goa. This one is really trippy as synths wash over your ears in waves and some awesomely mean sounding croaky acid is let loose on your brain! 9/10 7. SETI Project - Psychedelic Acid Suntrip found an unreleased 90s track here. It sounds good now but remember what kind of impression this kind of music made back in the 90s! The acid is back to basics but nice, but that manic beat is fantastic. 7/10 8. Battle of the Future Buddhas - Tenderlion (Anthem Remix) I'm a fan of Battle of the Future Buddhas and really like the extra 303 treatment they gave this remix. 8/10 9. Binary Bliss - Analog Ascent Quite melodic acid here to end with a track which builds and builds and feels uplifting and yes euphoric as Suntrip wrote. 8/10 This is one of the best compilations I have heard in years. Well done, Suntrip. More of this kinda thing please! 9/10 https://suntriprecords.bandcamp.com/album/acidum-influxum

THREAD MOVED HERE: You may know I am quite new to this so I would greatly appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. Thanks.

RA - Visions Altar Records - ARDEP79 Ever since Earthcall came out eight long years ago, to quote from this new EP I have had a Burning Love Desire for RA to release more music, so to say I was excited when I found out about it would be an understatement! This is a downtempo release in a similar sort of style to the stunning album Unearthly (which has recently been remastered- not sure how they could improve on perfection!). Whilst I would have to say this one is not RA's most complex material, as always it's impeccably produced, highly pleasurable and soothing to listen to and a solid addition to their catalog. According to the credits, the Visions EP is a solo work by Lars W. Lind. I believe this is the first release from RA without Christer Borge-Lunde's involvement, so it is an interesting chance to hear Lars' influence on the project in isolation. 1. Enthralled 6:49 2. Mysterious Thing 6:51 3. Visions Of Touch 6:27 4. The Burning 7:18 1. Enthralled A seriously mellow and chilled out opening track. The synths wash over you and seem to melt together in a delicious slow ambience. 7/10 2. Mysterious Thing "The soul understands what the mind cannot conceive." a voice whispers enigmatically. This track turns the tension up just a notch with a more exotic flavor. 7/10 3. Visions of Touch The textures on this title track are delectable to my ears and brain, especially with that bass. That texture of the sound evokes thoughts of the synesthesia suggested in the track title. It's more upbeat, even funky, compared to the opening tracks. At the halfway point we get intense layers of euphoric synths in a mesmerizing chord progression. Now we're talking! 9/10 4. The Burning This has a trippier feeling than some of the earlier tracks with a pulsating ethereal voice and layers of gorgeous soundscape. It's simultaneously mellow, ambient, upbeat and psychedelic, which is a great achievement in itself, I think. We get a female voiceover with an American accent about Burning Love Desire. The theme of love, desire and romance is nice and I believe a change from the more purely spiritual or philosophical wisdoms we get in RA's previous tracks. I'll let you be the judge of how well it works here I think. 8/10 All in all, a great and extremely relaxing release and I hope with all my heart that we will be hearing plenty more from RA in the years to come. 8/10 https://ra-altar-records.bandcamp.com/album/visions

"Sonar Storm" by Lunar Dawn is an electrifying new track that delves into the depths of both Goa and Psy Trance. With pulsating beats, hypnotic melodies, and intricate soundscapes, this song takes listeners on a cosmic journey through swirling synths and trippy rhythms. Lunar Dawn duo blends elements of trance and psytrance, creating an immersive and captivating sonic experience that will leave you craving for more. Release is scheduled on 11.02.2024. at our official Lunar Dawn Bandcamp Sonar Storm single release is beginning of wider story to be unveiled with next single which will follow soon after this one. This track is first part of double single release and following EP named "Abyss" which will round up with one extra track added to it. As the parts will be released, the story behind the tracks will be revealed. The story unfolds as it follows: As the sun dipped below the horizon, the waters off the coast of Bermuda turned dark and foreboding. The two seasoned divers, Sasha and Kris, had planned a routine sonar mapping mission to explore a mysterious trench in the ocean floor. Little did they know that their expedition would soon turn into a heart-pounding mystery and adventure. Equipped with state-of-the-art sonar instruments, Sasha and Kris descended into the depths. Their mission was going smoothly until they encountered a sudden disturbance in the sonar instrument. The display overloaded with an influx of data, causing a sonar storm that sent powerful waves of feedback reverberating through the water. The divers struggled to maintain their composure as the sonar's malfunction caused disorientation and confusion. As they attempted to recalibrate the sonar, they began to notice strange occurrences around them. Eerie sounds echoed through the water, and mysterious shapes seemed to move just beyond their field of vision. It was as if the ocean itself was alive with some mystic interference, guiding and obstructing their path at the same time. Determined to get to the bottom of the strange events, Sasha and Kris pressed on, even as the sonar storm intensified. They uncovered fragments of an ancient artifact that hinted at an unknown civilization lurking in the depths. In their pursuit of the truth, the divers found themselves entangled in a web of intrigue and danger, as forces beyond their understanding sought to draw them deeper into the abyss. As they delved deeper into the trench, the sea seemed to rebel against their presence, unleashing a tempest of otherworldly turbulence. The ocean itself seemed to rise against them, urging them to turn back. But the two divers were not easily deterred. They pressed forward, driven by the tantalizing allure of the mysteries hidden within the depths. Finally, at the heart of the trench, they discovered the source of the disturbances: a long-forgotten temple, built by a civilization lost to time. It emanated an aura of ancient power, and as they ventured inside, they were confronted by the truth behind the sonar storm and the mystic interference. The temple, teeming with enigmatic symbols and relics, held a secret that had lain dormant for millennia—a power capable of shaping the very fabric of the ocean itself, and awakening the forces that slumbered beneath the waves. It was this power that had disrupted their sonar, and now threatened to consume them in its wake. In a pulse-pounding climax, Sasha and Kris navigated the treacherous depths of the temple, narrowly avoiding the perils that lurked within. As they unearthed the truth behind the disturbances, they also unearthed an understanding of the ancient civilization and its connection to the underwater mystic interference. Emerging from the temple, the divers managed to restore harmony to the ocean, allowing the natural order to reign once more. Their expedition not only uncovered a lost chapter of history but also solidified their place as explorers of the unknown, forever changed by their encounter with the abyssal anomaly. With the mysteries of the deep unveiled, Sasha and Kris returned to the surface, eager to share their extraordinary sonic tale of adventure and discovery with the world. There is more to come.

I've been learning to use my DAW. Here's my very incomplete early attempt at a Goa Trance track, aiming for a slightly tribal feel and lowish tempo (143 bpm at the moment). I'd love any comments and suggestions, even to tell me it's dreadful. The drums need some work I think. The ones at the start are supposed to be 808 style tom toms, but I think the kick maybe interferes with them a bit and they get sort of clicky so I may change them. I like my melody but I'm not totally sure if it matches up that well with the percussion and bass in terms of the timing. If I don't end up abandoning the whole thing I'll probably make some acid lines next and maybe another layer or two, pads and other samples.

What lures in the dark depths of the ocean? Or in the distant star systems of our vast universe? These four pieces find out the diversity of both potential and unimaginable life forms from unfound deep sea creatures to convergent extraterrestrials and highly evolved artificial intelligent species. The EP features four divergent songs. While based on melodic goa trance at a comfortable tempo of 142-145, they take some steps further in experimentation. Prepare for half an hour of epic synth mayhem. This EP was skillfully mastered by Ondřej Grzegorz, maintaining it's dynamic range and qualities of my mix. The Bandcamp download also includes several wallpapers in 2K resolution. Download and stream on Bandcamp: https://profetia.bandcamp.com/album/divergent-species Stream on YouTube:

Power Of Self is a fresh EP made by Lunar Dawn duo during this personally challenging and very turbulent year. Three previously unreleasd dusted tracks dating from the late 2000s have been revamped to a fairly new fashion, call it oldschool gone newschool in 2023. This EP will be released on 20.10.2023. at official Lunar Dawn bandcamp page: lunardawnofficial.bandcamp.com As both members went through a lot of personal turbulence last few years, this EP reflects a musical path that went spiralling down the emotional rollercoaster to the power of Earth, and swirling back up, ascending to the euphoric comeback with the power of self. As the names of the tracks published on this EP tell the story for itself, it remains on the listener to try to visualise emotions through the music. The highly energetic GoaTrance made with love, hate, fate and wisdom to overcome all three fore mentioned. We hope to find a way to your hearts with this EP. There is more to come.

Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

In my teens I tried to make sort of techno tracks but they were incredibly primitive because I didn't understand music theory. I've just started to have another go at making music, aiming for something that is at least loosely overlapping the goa trance or psytrance genres. I doubt it will ever sound professional but it's for fun. I'm using the Phrygian Dominant scale. For a few parts of the tracks I'm using chord progressions (Strictly speaking they're arpeggios with a second note played alongside). Anyway on the track I'm currently working on I made an extra pattern with all the chords shifted up around 4 semitones (Altering a couple of the chords to keep them in Phrygian Dominant). I've got some acid lines playing at the same time as this and now on the new pattern a few notes of the arpeggios are only 1 semitone away from the notes in the acid lines, so it's dissonant. I can think of three different ways of dealing with this dissonance: 1. Leave it there. I'm not very comfortable with this because it will just sound like I've made a mistake. 2. Shift the arpeggios around or change the chords to match the acid lines. 3. Shift the pitch of the acid lines up at that point in the track, or otherwise change them so they stay in harmony with the new chords. I've read some people saying that normally at least the bassline stays rooted in a Goa trance track and other people saying a lot of tracks don't even use chord progressions at all, but I still want to use them. Basically my question is what's the norm in Goa trance, 1, 2 or 3? (I get that I have the creative freedom to try any of them to just see what sounds best, but on the other hand I don't have the best musical ear and I just want to get an idea for how this is commonly dealt with in the genre.)
