Ethanol is fucking massive. The acid is just tasty like you'd expect and the melodies rather technoish, but that bassline just seals the deal on the whole thing. It's dirty as hell, I love it. POM POM POM POM POM POM OooOOMP POM POM POM!!! YES!!! Just imagine a rave with this track.

BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM B)

Waa I actually really like this. Nice colors and mysticism. I think the lost buddha one is ok but the text is rather simple

That acid is ballin

Well I'm happy. The original untold stories had such awful mastering. This will be nice.

Honestly what comments are you responding to? I don't see much negativity about your VA's overall, bad comments here and there are always going to pop up because of taste. I'd say Alternative Colors and Spiritual Rising are considered overall strong goa compilations. Now about your second VA, Elixir Of Life was generally considered weaker because of the much stronger direction of nitzhonot melodies, different style, not because of the mastering - which is actually very well mastered in comparison to Alternative Colours and Spiritual Rising. And yes lots of labels do have problems with mastering, for whatever reasons, but that doesn't mean it's not something that can't be fixed and that the reasons for the negativity surrounding it are baseless. These "Destructive" comments about mastering are actually "Constructive," it is something that you can fix. The problem with mastering like on Alternative Colours and Spiritual Rising is when you want to crank the volume up, it's almost impossible because it gets way too harsh, it hurts the ears. I think this comes from the loudness war, correct me if I'm wrong. On that note, I love to use this example of Suncokreti by Ultiva Records. That VA had everything going for it, great cover, fantastic tracks and what it boiled down to was some of the worst mastering I have ever heard. It crippled the sound to the point it's actually hard to enjoy listening it. On a more positive note, I'm glad nothing happened to Ezel Ebed, the way it disappeared made me worried if we lost another much needed goa label. It's good to know that's not the case.

Re-listening to this and the thing that keeps bothering me is the mastering. I have the need to compensate with EQ but it can do only oh so much. Especially the amanians track, the sound is harsh and flat, though with that in mind, it's still musically simply brilliant. One of those rare tracks that just put me in the state of trance. It's so psychedelic, the amount of thundering, whirling, spiraling effects is so ridiculous. Such a magnificent piece that can only be better with new mastering. E-mantra's and Astrancers tracks suffer quite a bit as well. So if Ezel-Ebed ever comes with a new comp or an album, I would definitely suggest - or simply order - them to get better mastering, this just isn't good and definitely isn't doing justice to the actual quality of the tracks, they are really fantastic!

Holy phuck. The comment about this being the first full-on release on discogs flipped a switch in my head that put this album into a heavy ignore mode. Why would anyone make such a devastating comment on their review? This isn't crappy full-on, this is powerful yummy groovy goatrance filled with those signature sounds by Ofer. Fat basslines, interesting powerful effects and strong groove. I've only heard a part of this but seems like I'm going to want this to fill the ofer dikovsky trilogy. (Oforia - Delirious, Tandu - Multimoods) Very good stuff.

Man that pissed me off.

Well, I made my comment before I even really listened to Chi-a.d. so I'll have to come back later with a more of an informed opinion.

^the pink disc was actually SO much better than what pictures conveyed! sexy pavel pink! Hopefully! It's always so nice to get stuff factory sealed.

I know theres loads more, Come on, share your favourites! Banging! I love that sound that starts at 1 minute mark, unfortunately it seems this is the best thing he ever wrote and almost the only thing he wrote when it comes to goa

Wikked! Though can you guys say that Lost World is better than Reactor Of Life? Oh and nice cover although I'd get rid of that smooth bezel that you can see on the top and left edges

So many masterpieces written back in the day.

Shakta - Q Only vinyl FTL

Sundial/Sundial Aeon makes such chill, pretty music. I will be looking forward to this, though the inspiration notes leave me wondering will they make a drastic turn here.

Oh wow that cover. I think you could have worked out a better background here but damn that's a nod to old school having that deity thingy(?) there. Samples on the other hand.. darker neogoa for the win! Also a new subra track! Can't wait!

Great mix, really perfect flow. Also I never heard of Orthonorma and Irezumi and those two tracks were really nice. Have to check those artists out.

We need moderators to do this dirty work lol

Nothing goa here, but a good trance track.
