wow great news! Brainwashing is Childs Play is a beautyfull piece of art, and perhaps underestimated aswell. A uniqe album, which make me think of Blue Planet Corporation... Both groups has this "classical" and "fluid" trance" sound which I just love! Thank you, Zion 604!

"Does anyone else know other notable Polish goa/psy artist?" Bigwigs

First of all...thank you mr Draeke! Anoebis: "The Athen live RMX-CD is one of the best cds ever made! Plastic, Floating Universe, Vimana and Time Dilation Rmx are better then the original...!" The live-cd is a magical, enchanting trancendental experience, no doubt about it, but I do not agree with you Anoebis. Sometimes these liveversions are to undistinctive for me. Its just to much echo in some places, so the the "groundfoundation" of the tracks disappear, or have rather been overshadowed. A great example of that is Vimana. In my last gig here in Stockholm I played both Vimana liveversion and Mental Puzzle - and people usually going bananas to Vimana. But that "usual" climax didnt occur when I played the liveversion...Perhaps the echo ruined the big climax part for people, or perhaps are we swedes more sensetive to echoing effects Its not that I dont like the liveversions but in my book the orginals are still superior. But im puzzled...I dont even know If this is my final conclusion - Im, at this moment, listening to Vimana live and Lunar live and they really scale bananas I have to say somthing about Mental Puzzle aswell... I dont understand how Draeke could choose this. He would left the shooked version in the bin where it belongs ... Its to repetive, and to looong! Just kidding. Mental Puzzle is so extremly...a lot of things. Psycedelic as hell, the melodies are weird and succeed each other in (how to bescribe it?)... a very divine way. One of Etnicas best ever! I think that if it were released 95 it would be a classic like Lepton Head or Mahadeva... And I mean classic in a way that extends beyond the limited "goafreak-community"

You guys rocked the UBV festival !!

If we count the population as a factor in this rating my vote definatly goes to Sweden:). Sweden are soon 10 millions and all these great artists are coming from "the land of north"... Atmos, Son Kite, Ticon, Vibrasphere, Matenda, Human Blue, Necton, S-range, Hux-Flux, Logic Bomb, Artax, Gaudium, Battle of the future Buddhas, Ka-sol, Ethereal, Filteria, Ypsilon 5, Miranda, Subcouds, Sienis, Procs, Derango... And on the chilling side CBL, Solar Fields, Healer... Do I have to say more?

"RD's whole goal was to make a UX like track with the one on this comp, they did a really compelling job at it as well. " Ok then I know:)

one thing I discovered with the Radical Disortion track Is that its "frightening" similar to some UX tracks? For example, the baseline sounds like Masters of the universe baseline... If they were aware of that similarity when they produced they should, in my opinion make some credit to the UX-guys. The "Ux-sound" can of course been an coincidence aswell. Thats happens somtimes I suppose. Is there anyone else who has noticed this similarity? Or is it just me who has devoloped to an old crancy man, who sees negativity more then positive things?

I think its a pretty nice album and the more "established" artist (E-mantra, Artifact 303, Filteria) delivers good tunes. Its nothing extraordinary from these guys, but I guess those tracks will appear on their artistsalbum. Its always interesting with the subjective taste when it comes to music. Neurogen ranked Astratrancer track 2/5 - but I really dig that aztec-indian cutipie of track. For me, Astratrancer have a deep sense how to create interesting melodystructures. I dont know what program he uses - cause the "soundpicture" feels weak (compare to Filteria or E-mantra). His music deserves tighter soundspectra!

I listen mostly to ambient and downbeat at home, so both my cat and dog are familiar to that kind of music. Sometimes me and my girlfriend babysitting my girlfriends moms dog. When we are doing that, its obvious that her moms dog (who is mostly listening to finsish cultural music at home ) reacting and our animals not. The dog is barking and acting in a "gaurdian mode". I think, like humans, the prehistorical experiences playing a big part for anaimals psyche as well. If you been raised up with a certain musicstyle, you feel it your veins - and maybe you have a bigger potenial to integrate and "understand" that kind of music. But I guess animals also have a subjective taste...

You have potenial! I really liked the track, but for me, the story in the track didnt went to the same direction...Maybe that was your intention, but I want a more "red thred" from beginning to end. This is of sure subjective, but I only talk from my point of wiew. The melody wich presents itself 3.00 is so good! Its different and innoative (remember me of some old Ololiuqui melody) - I want more of that one, why dosent it coming back in the end of the track? keep up the good work, and its obvious that you have developed your sound! Good luck in the future!

Hehe hehe, just to choose one from all these great artists...not an easy one, but I will try... Let there be light Magnetic activity (96 rmx) - Pulse 3 The Rezwalker Vimana Blade Runner Shamanix Howling At The Moon Compulsive Dance Shitty Stick (Better Than A Poke In The Eye With A), I know its Slinky Nuns Return of the Shadows One Love Beyond The Singularity Maia Spiritual Beings In Physical Bodies Insect & Insect Bite (Split Mix) Our own happiness Mōretsu (Indigo And Baraka Mix) Sugar rush (refined mix) Dense Dawn Telepathy Compulsive Dance

She sometimes play here in Sweden. But it is rare that she plays her old tracks. Now her style is more focused on darker atmospheres and "metallic" sounds, some would call it darkpsy... My friend have for the moment a remixchallenge of his old tracks. Here is Mirandas Contribution: http://www.ubetoo.com/psytrance/46085

The track, Nasha feat Mad Sheer Khan - Chai machine (!!) maybe you also should check out music from Elysium...laidback, orientalic...

Really digged the choaos in "Eyeless Observatory"! And Filteraces are absolutly the best piece of art from you Jannis, ever. What an Incredible track:)

Slide Darshan Toi Doi

all of them:)

Time_Trap: What about swedish underground forest parties btw? Do they exist or it's a myth, psychedelic trance deep in the forest, closer signs of civilisation being some km's away ? ;D Sometimes they exist, not so often these days... But when they do, you acctualy can dance with ogres, trolls and faeries. And of course the grizzlybears. We swedish people have this nature all over so its not so special for us. For example I meet a deer just outside my house couple of days ago. he or she stood 5 m from me in 30 sec while eating grass. And I live 10 minutes with train from the south parts of Stockhom. This isn´t so common, it was a rare experience, but we have this marvelous nature just around the corner...

Total eclipse - Violent relaxation (cd 2) Some Blue planet corporation trax Elysium - Celestial sounds an neurotic tribal beats Aquila - Aqua divae

In stockholm are the underground scene almost dead. In general are the outdoors parties commercial as hell. I remember these days, when you had to call 10 phonecalls to get some info about a party:) I listened to the intervjue with the Suntripguys yesterday...And they sad that the Goascene In sweden is quite good. Hmm, we have some artists who make goa, Filteria, Ethereal, Diaks, Indica Project, Merlin for example, but they never plays at parties. We have two goa-djs in Stockholm I think, Ukiro an myself, but we don´t spinn so often, couse everyone want Fullon and Dark, and maybe some electrohouse at the dawn in a marvellous forrest Nemo: a curious question... When and where did you arrange parties in Sweden?

Son Kite´s sideproject, Minilogue - Animals. two cd:s: one minimal uptempo, and one chill...

"Ok i don't share the negative opinions. At first it sounded like classic lame indian sounding chill music but the more i listen the more i like it. Its quite atmospheric and has depth. Now i sure listened to it about 20 times and it does not get boring, it gets better every time i listen to it. For me, this release is sure one of the better chill releases of 2008. Digi" +1
