    It's all good as long as they are showing those tracks now and I think it's great not everything was released back then. We have some sort of continuity mixing old producers with fresh ones - thanks to it the change is more fluid (offtopic mode: off). Going back to the party - the lineup looks perfect for a mid-small space and is not overstuffed (Mr. Taylor will have lots of work to do ), I wish you great frequency.

    I've heard few his tracks, great ideas, the tunes definitely have some IM-vibe inside.

    Thanks Richpa, somehow I've missed that one, great news. Sometimes I wonder how many more tunes is hidden under the beds of goa giants from the 90's.

    +1, I worship Kaya Project and have great memories regarding this music. Best sounds for hiking, Seb is a magician. Does Shakta has 'Suntrip' written because of the track from Temple of Chaos compilation (+ Filteria's remix on Shaltu) or maybe something pleasant awaits us in the near future ?

    V/A - Goa Classix 1

    ptn replied to DeathPosture's topic in 2000

    Thirteen posts and almost every track has been marked as someone's favourite (the same time 2 or 3 were bashed as crap, you gotta love different tastes ). It's a sign of a great compilation, right? Even someone mildly interested in goa trance should know some of the producers just by looking at the playlist. As few posters wrote - great starter compilation, favourites: 1 (IMO best triplet-rhythm track ever) and 5, but all of them are worth your attention.

    Ufomatka

    ptn replied to JISNEGRO's topic in General Psytrance

    Strange, I've always read this one 'Ufomatika' too. To cloud things even more I'll add that 'matka' in polish means 'mother' and 'ufo' is quite self explanatory, so there you go .

    I hope this sentence includes Portamento working on second album, because somehow I've missed info about Cronomi releasing his second LP .

    Oh, it's that kind of 'off'. For starters I thought Paul Eye was writing about not putting deliberately the original producer of a track and inserting someone else instead ('anyone knows that this track is made by X, not the Y, who's name is on the cover'). Anyway, this one ^ is also interesting. Feel free to put both groups here .

    '...In Dub'

    ptn replied to ptn's topic in General Psytrance

    I think 'X-Dream In Dub' could be a bless for those on the industrial & dark side of the force.

    Following by this comment I wonder about those off credits in goa/psy scene. Can someone put the obvious and/or well known ones? (that's the second new topic growing from Hallucinogen one )
  11. ptn
    I'm not sure about that. In my book there is a difference between: - poor copy of X - influenced by X - X ver 2.0 Many times the track resembles some other artist's style but Your mind says it's kinda like X, but something's missing... and than You discover an artist who grasped not only the technology, but the feeling/flow of another artist and it's all good . Hard to explain, but I hope I've managed. That would be great, he's doing it right . Using other people's melodies without nodding to the original is a dodgy area (and it's not the same as using similar gear/presets to develop different ones - just look at the rock bands ).

    Richpa has some spot on suggestions, good hearing, Man . First two tracks in Afgin's Astral Experience are AP ver 2.0. Last EP by Morphic Resonance was defo inspired by some Etnica/Pleiadians works (gotta listen to it, people!). That's a very weak 'maaaybe' in my book , I gotta check Earwall's Derango suggestion as I'm a sucker for KoxBox. My two cents - JIS resembles Blue Planet Corporation at times, T2MU noticed that too in his review.

    Roughly ten years ago there was sub-genre called trance'n'bass or trancestep by some, John B was one of the producers making this kind of music, although some of the tracks by 'trance' meant short loops with only slight changes during the progression supposedly helping listener to get into a trance-like state. Reversing the topic tittle, few Slackbaba's productions are trance with d'n'b influences (in all his three albums), IMO definitely worth checking.
  14. ptn
    That's Your opinion, when I was hearing Afgin's music for the first time, I thought he had Astral Projection on the speed dial. And IMO Trinodia has the loudest melodies around. Goasia's 'Dancing with the Blue Spirit' less melodic? Well, I rest my case . Maybe You shoud try nitzo artists, they ooze with melodies.
  15. ptn
    Now that's the alternate universe I can easily exist in . That's a good suggestion regarding complex and not obvious melodies, but I'm not sure OP was looking for such tracks (if he firstly didn't have the intention Rotwang wrote). Since goa pride mentioned artists from last years I would add Khetzal, Goasia, Afgin or Antares to the bunch. Special mention: Trinodia - nobody does such beautiful in-your-face melodies. I love this Talpa track from the first post, probably the the most goa-sounding tune by him (still in my top 10 post 2000 goa/psytrance tracks).

    ptn replied to Drosophila's topic in Off Topic

    ^ This one looks like a nice set up for the next Dan Brown novel.

    This may not be the case here, but when someone does even one or two tunes in a style noone has ever done before, in my book he can easily be called 'pioneer'.
  18. ptn
    Adrenalin Run - talk about crazy goa, Trinodia - the guy, who's not afraid of any melody. I'm at no. 8 and didn't find any filler yet (although my mind is starting to confuse Crossing Mind's tunes - blasphemy, I know). The battle between favourites here will be tough for sure. Great job on 'Future Architecture 2'!
  19. ptn
    Nice mix of old and new faces, this could be interesting. Fortunately we have Goa Overdose aswell, so our team is winning .
  20. ptn
    Thanks for that Richpa! Going backwards it shows that GoaHuman had an LP on UAF, gotta check it aswell.
  21. ptn
    Yeah, they're delivering for sure. BTW, nice review antic , although one note: Here is info about EP from last July called Voyage In The Universe. I know it's sacrilege, but I prefer this album to latest ones from E-Mantra or Filteria. In A Special Kind of Space will almost surely be in my uptempo top ten for 2013. It's not over the top (in my book), plus has brilliant moments all over. I don't see fillers here, it's even and sometimes this is more important than having 3 glorious tunes, 3 mediorce and 3 bastards. If this would be released 5-6 years ago everyone would be praising Cosmic Dimension, I understand some of us are like kids in a candystore nowadays, so it's tough to impress, but in my case - they succeeded. 8-8,5/10.

    I think 2004 was a pretty good year for psy scene. Goa started to make a comeback by the likes of Filteria or Ypsilon5, Electric Universe did an awesome job with Cosmic Experience and presented us one of the best full-on albums to date (minus guitars), Infected Mushroom made the last one with more trance than other styles (I can't help it, I kinda like it, I'll take their guitars over Boris' any day, but the singing - well, You all know ), Misted Muppet moved few butts with their 'take no prisoners' medieval atmosphere, some chillout albums from '04 are still on repeat in my playlist (Kaya Project, Aes Dana, Bluetech, Abakus, etc...). And Talpa. Oh yes, how great discovering this artist was! I can't count how many times I've listened to all his three albums (definitely I'm not in the 'bash the second one' group) and as The Riddler he's even better at times. But The Art Of Being Non was the first one. Recently I've re-listened to this album and it still sounds great. It's not the music for the people who like long build-ups and repetitiveness. But the rest should at least TRY it. Crazy, schizophrenic, funny, scary, danceable, inventive - it has it all. Thank You, Mr Talpa for this one and I hope we won't loose You altogether for progressive party.

    Well, talk about answer delay , but I may be the proof that You are wrong. I like IM's recent (as for 2004) albums and I have a feeling this one will bore me very soon. Few sounds here and there may remind of Infected Mushroom but it's only a transparent shadow. In my book this one is closer to epic trance than psy, but it has its moments (not many, but still). I've heard worse, nice hands-in-the-air-trance. As Lemmiwinks wrote, it's a matter of context and this CD fits the scheme like no other. The tittle perfectly tells the story, so this might be a treat for sweet melodramatic vibe fans.
  24. ptn
    Lots of producers had the sixth sense in hiding the gems for over 20 years, I'm not complaining - it's all about building tension . Best of '2013 poll didn't end and even without listening I think we have a strong contender for the next year.

    Can't wait, this Art Of Trance looks promising and I can't get enough of the new face(s) of 2Minds.
