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.

You sure you aren't mixing progressive psytrance with progressive trance?

This thread makes me weep.

That cover is fking epic! Such a cool style, tons and tons of details. One more reason to actually get this.

This is such an odd release, though let's get one thing straight here, it's not odd as in bad, but it's odd. Why is that? The amount of layers doesn't seem to be much and the tracks sound empty at first glance, every single one. This guy isn't like the others who just go for layers upon layers and twirling multiple melodies, but he lays out a small framework and just continues with it. If you skip these tracks, like preview it, it will not sound good! He does not have the continuous force that other producers do. Every track here starts simple, and continues fairly simple, but everything flows forward. If you give it the time necessary, which is around the first ~2minutes, you will be lost in the music. It will remain simple, but the flow of the melodies just makes it work. It is rewarding in a sense. Think of The Muses Rapt. The sounds are bad at first glance, really old low quality midi-like sounds, but if you are open minded and give it time to show the melodies, and when it just clicks, it's so good. Here I find same sort of situation with Nolax, at first I actually found it bad "ew wheres the epic melodies and blasting adrenaline?" "Why are the sounds like that??" but one day I decided to listen to it in the background and it hit me like a rock how everything just flows into place. Most of the tracks here are really nice journeys! The only track which I'm not really fond of is The Chromium Fence and that's about it. Definitely a solid release, but the style is just so different from everything else that it may be hard to notice that at first. A little open mindedness never hurt anyone. Recommended, check it out if you can. I want to mention that the covers do no favors for phototropic releases imo. And by the looks of it, it seems the music artists make these covers themselves.. For example, suntrips and DAT Recs covers are better simply because they hire professional graphics artists to do them! But then again this isn't only a problem with phototropic, I'm just trying to give some cc here that's all. Zelur Project had an amazing cover though and the new Amithaba was pretty nice too, to give some credit.

Battlestar was fucking ace. The last season is love or hate mostly, but I found it good.

Not usually interested in full-on but, eh, I'll give this a go.

Found it locally for cheap so why not

There's just something about this release. For me, I found it boring, kind of minimal, at first. That was back when I was being saturated with more ultra-melodic and straightforward music. I didn't really get the beauty of Alien Protein until I got my latest set of headphones to be honest. I did like it, but wasn't still really too interesting. The revelation I finally had was about the textures and depth. The texturing in this album is magnificent, rich, alien. The atmosphere is so mysterious, somewhat dark, the sounds are smoothly quirky, minimal and alien. Little details just around every corner, extremely well composed. The aural imaginary is definitely alien and of course subjective, but I find myself wondering the halls of the Pleiadean mothership, Etnica. The inner workings, but it is only a fraction of the whole. How did they come about, how long have they been, how many of there are, what are their goals and such remain a mystery. And the laid-backish atmosphere of the whole thing has a flavour of innocence to it, since we do not know really anything yet, we cannot predict. By the end of it, it seems to indicate that humans have some knowledge that an alien race exists and we are finding the need to prepare for the inevitable counter, whether it'll be peaceful or not. Now even if you would expect, not all the tracks survived the time, I find Party Droid and Z-Plane Sunrise a tad cheesy at times because of some of the sounds coupled with the kind of melodies. Otherwise the other tracks on this album are great, extremely well textured, interesting upbeat tracks and the two downtempo one's are of the same quality. I think the phrase "Alien Opera" is perfect for this release. It does not hold the massive power of the Pleiadian sound, but instead it's even more alien and more interesting in it's own way. If only I could dwell into their mindset while they were creating this back in 95 or so. It was really something never-before-seen. Classical Goa-trance. A must have for every collector.

Bought 2 CDs from him. Packaged well, nothing broken, quality as described. Great seller!

I caved in and spend the money required to own this masterpiece, probably ending up the only CD I'll ever spend that much on. +1 for dragonfly

Javelin version And... Wow nice deal

Oh my

Saikosounds, beatspace, psyshop for modern releases and discogs for old school with inflated prices.

I copied it just fine with EAC on my hdd.

I Savastano also belongs here, really good atmospheric acid goa tunes. Never released a main album either, just a handful of tracks on comps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4L5dqCn4ww Well it certainly would be cool if he could produce new old school style tracks

It seems that psyshop is a bit of a hit and miss service. Either it's just fine or if something goes wrong, it's pretty damn bad.
