To each their own, I find the 2006-2012 era vastly inferior to 2013-2019. Space Of Power is the definition of meh in my book

You just expressed my thoughts about this genere as a whole, goa psy call it what ever, very few artists now days makes special music. I Did have fun listening to the the cross from true early goa trance to a more progressive/minimalist/techno sound untill it became too soft and fluffy. and i had a blast when things turned dark with artist like parasense, para halu, and the rise of what people call dark psy, untill it became boring hi tech or way to mossy and boring "forest" psy. I Did doubt new school goa when it came along, did enjoy a few albums down the line, artifakt 303 especially, and Morphic Resonance, untill it became a copy pasta of some sort, and dont even get me talking about what i think about Morphic's last album compared to his first album. Unreleased goa trance was great untill we started getting a bagillion retro proto goa boring releases or old artists who werent active for 20 years releasing stuff that should have stayed buried Yikes, kind of morbid...just hang in there

In 2006-2012 I thought many releases sounded very similar, we had more variety (IMO) from 2014-2015 period till now. @Microdelic To be constructive, below some releases to check out: JIS - Illusions of Reality Omnivox - Fragments of Evolution Proxeeus: anything from him but you cannot go wrong with his 2018 album Non-Euclidean Geometry Ultimate Xperience - Lazarus Rising Imba - First Encounter Morphic Resonance - The City Of Moons Crossing Mind - Beyond Duality Artha - Dream Telepathy JaraLuca - Fata Morgana JaraLuca - Prologue Hypnoxock - Eurythmia K.O.B. - Identity Mash GoaTree - Black Star Of The Death Morphic Resonance - Perplexity Veasna - 5ynergy Median Project - Constellation (not a fan but if you like 2006-2012 then you will love it) Battle of the Future Buddhas - The Light Behind The Sun Xamanist - Out of Time Psylent Buddhi - Secrets of the Atom Sky technology – Rainbow Spirit Sykespico - Perspective Toxeed - Mysterious VA - Dimensional Gateway Vol. 5 VA - Goa Trance Legacy Vol. 3 VA - 604 Syndroms (just for the Proxeeus track :))

Yea i feel that, Terraformer was such an advancement in skill and quality. Impressive too since Global Sect had trouble finding cosmic stuff for Space Of Power. They might have helped kick off the scene. 2019 has been my favourite year so far. I think the 2006-12 scene had a few classic albums that will stay on a lot of favorite lists for a long time, but outside of that list I say there is more quality from the last 7 years.

Sometimes I wonder, but I think all of the mysteries and unanswered questions come down to nothing but Perspective. What's yours?
