I will try to improve the track and work on it a bit more then I will share here, to see if I'm moving forward.

Proxeeus - The Outsider (Global Sect, 2025) We are excited to present the new 2CD album by Jerome Lesterps - a true professor of New School Goa Trance. Pre-order CDs, digital & merch: https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/proxeeus-the-outsider Proxeeus music is an absolutely unique phenomenon. The producer’s talent is multifaceted and manifests in various genres. On the first disc of The Outsider, you will experience an unforgettable epic musical adventure with a high, almost extreme tempo, intertwining space-shattering acid synthesizers with multilayered psychedelic effects. The first part of the album is a guaranteed fragmentation of the dancefloor into molecules and atoms. After this emotional and epic journey, you will dive into the depths of dark Goa Downtempo with a touch of Dub and Ambient, inspired by various literary works, especially the legendary Howard Lovecraft. We have also prepared special, exclusive UV merchandise for all Proxeeus fans. The design is done in a dark psychedelic style by our longtime partner Andrey Verner. Tracklist: 1.

lolololol I woke up with this sample in my head this morning. Did a Google search for <<goa trance sample "I feel like I'm losing my mind">> and this thread was the first result. I laughed very hard when I opened it and realized that I had created this thread and it appears to be a common issue in my life. FFS

I got some new headphones which means I am back listening to a lot more Goa and psy, which hopefully means I will get round to writing some new reviews.

Dargaard will be for you if you are after the calmer side. Great project, female singer in it. Here is an album: But actually I have thought about this more. And I can come up with more. And as much as I would like to "flesh out" suggestions that go into the Tolkien influenced metal direction (Summoning, big love of mine) ... the statement about "Trip Hop" doesn't let go of me. In the end, it really depends on what one is after. Maybe that Dargaard recommendation was all wrong for you? @acid beingwhat are you after? The female voice? The music? The atmosphere? When it's the female voice, purely, you will indeed find more in the TripHop area. Hooverphonic maybe. Bunny Situation. That's for me all 10 years old though ... my TripHop period is long over When you are after the music, you probably will struck gold in the Gothic realm. There are some with female voices. I don't know much Gothic (rather like the EBM), but maybe you like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QDRJlM11XA Or maybe check out Ladytron. That's a quite good band! Night Club aswell ... "Dear Enemy" ... awesome ... I think that might be the one you even like most... Should also mention Fever Ray For "metal / rock with female voice that sounds interesting" I can suggest you Closterkeller. Most of the songs are in polish language though. For some other wildcards, I could recommend you Eivør, stunning singer from Färöer islands ... or Aigel ( АИГЕЛ ) which is probably classified as HipHop, rather spoken than sung, but with a very skillful voice -- this I find pretty stunning, I hope you agree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiZMGztIRKs Sorry if that was too much

Manuser, I think it's really your very own personal opinion and taste. That track has for me a real story, 160 BPM was not a choice for me, but the expression of my mood when I produced it (say, I was very angry, maybe...). Anyway, maybe it was a mistake, or not... Or maybe a track has to be respected the exact way it was created. You just don't like it like that, your taste (again). I was not aware of that "150 BPM version on YouTube"... Or a topic on the forum just about that. That said, maybe you will be happy to hear that the live version (the one I play usually with my violin in all my live-acts), plays at... ... 150 BPM !!! Ta daaaaaaaaaaaa :-D Anyway, thanks for the comments, I always appreciate !
