Penzoline

Gamma Goblins is also probably my favourite. Trancespotter close 2nd. Edit: Well, Snarling Black Mabel is also super.

Wonderful

... one of the best decisions of my life. I used to read this forum like it was a bible when I was 20ish. 15 years later I'm organizing parties in Finland and I play Goa whenever I get the chance. Fullon is SO much easier to mix, but making 1 hour to 1.5 hour sets of goatrance is like finding the genre all over again. Every single time. It feels like I'm creating stories whenever I make my sets. Every single track brings something new, they tell stories that have never been heard, they push sounds and melodies that never been explored before. They intricately have a soul that trancends the life we are so accustomed to. Sometimes it takes 10 hours of goddamn hard work to make just over an hour of goatrance to flow together (even with my insanely vast knowledge of the genre!), but every - damn - time, it's totally worth it. There's like 5 people in Finland putting together goatrance sets during the year and it's a total pleasure being one the very few going against the mainstream of hitech, fullon, forest (that has nothing to do with forest, the fuck is wrong with that genre?) and other minimal psytech types of sounds. Last weekend I had the upmost privledge being able to deliver goatrance that transforms from 140bpm danceable super rhymtic and hypnotic goatrance (M-Run, Radical Distortion) to 156bpm soft nitzhogoa (Goalien & Agneton) and everyone who was in the front row was banging their heads off!!! I seriously could not have believed I could bring these sounds to peoples ears that have never heard them - and get them to enjoy it! This music literally was a saving grace for me. I used to be a nobody. Goatrance was something I consumed alone, skateboarding, hanging around on forums. I still kinda am a nobody, but goatrance made me a person who gives people experiences they never experienced before - I'd imagine that counts for something more than just being an npc. Goatrance, as a genre, is a goddamn joy. The melodies, the stories. People who make, play and consume goa, I've found, are the best type of people. The one's that have the capacity to ask more, the one's that think. The one's that care. Last weekend I had an older couple come up to me that my set from the weekend before was the best.. I was not sure what I heard so I asked them "this one, or the other one?", they answered "BOTH". ❤

8 years later from my last post and I played Inner Mind at a party last weekend. This album is one of the best nitzhogoa productions ever!

I've heard about shitty organizers shafting artists in the past (quite egregiously so), so they end up joining agencies to avoid these situations. Obviously agencies are better at raising prices and upselling (artists are not always good at selling). Of course we end up with a problem of having to deal with extra fee's due to a greedy middle man - but on the other hand they also protect the artists. It's a bit of a lose-win-lose-win situation.

I could've sworn I replied to this thread. Yes it's a home server running in Mars's home. A lot of downtime has been caused by database errors (Old and large database) and one time we had an overheating problem.

Seems like theres a lot of unreleased and new mixes. Mindsphere has such a nice hypnotizing sound. Thanks for sharing!

Most of these changes come with board updates. Admins and moderators don't really have skills or time to start customizing the board, especially with constant security updates. It's unfortunate but not much we can do about. I also miss that user level thing. Reaching "customize your title" was awesome!

Like stuff from basically 90s, do you guys recall any tracks that started the fullon movement, or had very similar production style to what emerged in the early 2000?

The mixing seems different (way thicker bassline on the youtube video) but yeah that is a bit weird how its about the same. Maybe a mistake? Idk. A pretty rare occurence. But plagiarism isn't the word you can use here since its the same artist. Wild opinions there man. This is really good and thematic forest imo. Goch is actually one of my favourites from forest producers.

This sounds definitely more akin to the modern Electric Universe sound with a Jaraluca touch rather than the goa one he's previously released. I'm liking the samples personally, but I can see why it might be jarring to some to hear such a switch in style.

These guys make fantastic tunes for sure.

Well the UK situation couldve been mostly avoided if they didn't leave EU, though all prices are going up. Food is ridiculously priced in Finland right now. The Prana album sounds awesome

Expect a scifi-themed journey that eventually goes through an acid trip that ends up in the abyss of the cosmos. Tracklist to be posted soon.

So whatever happened to him? It says they've raised 6000e, dunno how expensive the place is but I'd imagine that gets you somewhere.

Well it is getting a bit out of hand since time keeps going on and we're creating new yearly sections. Maybe we need to just start merging anything post 2020 since we have so few threads in them anyway. But regards on configuring the forum user interface, I don't think anyone of us is a developer or can do custom coding complex enough to start adding features. I'll see what I can do in the admin panel. Edit: What you mean by how offtopic works? It doesn't work the way you describe it, it doesn't pull content from the subforums. Editx2: If you click on the reviews header before the year sections it'll give you a list where you get the most recent posts https://www.psynews.org/forums/forum/16-reviews/ Editx3: I added latest reviews block on top of the forum, dunno if that helps at all.

I have a list for remixes of old tracks on spotify. (For some reason it still displays some tracks that dont belong there.) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1ckM3dO3APN0m9du7Ai6J1?si=079a6def23ac4f7f

How very cryptic

Well well well. I was looking forward to some melodic explosion, but instead I got forestry dark goa with great rhythms.

I'm pretty sure theres a ton of unreleased stuff of the same caliber. It's as much of a mystery as Fluoro Dolby not being released on CD, or vinyl for that matter.

Why cant they remaster project genesis already...

I got a few more mixes up on my mixcloud. The Fullon42 set I played live Neurofunk mix

I have no idea, is it still not functioning? I saw a lot of members waiting for approval.

Hmm. 80 euros for finland. It's really pricy. This seems like a good deal for reselling later, honestly.
