Penzoline

How much?

I'm personally pretty damn interested in hearing what are these older acts who are making new stuff?

Well it took a while for me to actually properly listen to this. I first downloaded it when it came out and listened to the intro and impossible mirage, which I had heard before actaully. Then I later on I listened to it but I wasn't really in the mindset and I thought it sounded cool, but it was never heading anywhere. Then after I really was into the mood of something darker, I put Scythe Of Orion playing and oh my, what is this? Some of the most thickest atmospheres ever that my ears have graced. There is absolutely no problem with the sounds being so very computery where they lack depth and substance, every part of this album has so much atmosphere that it's ridinculous. The way I can describe this album is epic, dark, sci-fi/cyberpunk, spacey and twisted atmospheric psychedelic trance with some slight genre-crossovers, coupled with basslines that actually tend to lean towards goatrance imo. No cheesy sharp kicks here, the basslines are effin fat. Just the layering alone is what makes this album shine through every other release. The textures are so rich, the layers are many and the twists found in the tracks are freaking amazing, just look up transmitters 4:43 key change, holy god. Every track is a ride of it's own but the album as a whole is a journey, nothing feels disconnected. I will even go ahead and say that this album truly rivals the vividness of the aural imaginary of the very best, like Project Genesis, Transdimensional and Tetrahedron to name a few. But nothing surprised me more on this album than the very last track. It is HUGE, it is MASSIVE. It has so much density in it's dark cyberpunk atmosphere that I can't really even begin to describe. The revving, the dark guitar, the twisted echoing atmosphere. Cybernetika just keeps getting better, it really is ridiculous what this guy can do. I'd love to get some insight on how he makes this stuff, it really is visionary. Modern Psytrance evolved. Btw cocco what happened to the school grading?

Well it is pretty hard to make that transition after witnessing the depth and complexity of old school goatrance. Full-on and the likes are just so shallow, boring, predictable, cheesy when compared and on top of it all, hardly psychedelic. This album is close to being the epitome of that complexity and depth in goatrance. Just listen to Ceralogy, the amount of layers is ridiculous. Sometimes it just randomly hits me what a feat it was to get this thing released. It was a crime that people couldn't hear these tracks back in the 90s. If it had been released in 98 and this thing had a normal review thread, it would be easily over 5 pages and would be hailed as undeniably a goatrance classic by many. Also I would guess the price would be through the roof. Draeke you fukken rock.

That is very cool!

I'll get this on my next order from beatspace/saiko.

How does it work, exactly? And no I don't use it. The prices of my phones will never exceed 100e or so lol.

Antares album is called Exodus as well Cool news though!

Well I didn't see that one coming..

Mint copy of Finally the psychaos tracks are mine! One of the best comps ever. And these 3 sealed.

If only buying out of print / second hand records would give the industry anything. And yes I do realize I'm replying to a post from 2002. Now why'd you go and do this, draeke?

Me too.. Area51 There's something about Total Eclipse sound. I would have probably thought it's very cheesy when I wasn't into goa, but now it's sort of vintage if you will. I really enjoy it.

Thanks, I'll check some of those out.

His username is also Geckorec and I'm going to advice not to use him. He may have fuckloads of positive ratings but I never received my item and the bastard never even replied to me after the purchase. I did get my money back via paypal but it was 7 weeks of headache anyway. And to this date, I still have not gotten a word from him.

^I've been thinking of writing full-sized reviews for a couple of old school albums to be honest. It's great to see new words on old releases. Cocco's are just awesome because of how he reflects on many things with them. On topic, though, this is one of greatest EP's ever to grace goa-trance. I'm glad that these two tracks are split into many different compilations, although Zeta Reticuli is the rarer one, but still. Both of these tracks are just bluntly put, superB. I feel like Jungle Trax is the more dance-floor/quirky/trippy oriented while Zeta Reticuli may as well have been on IFO because of it's enourmous depth. Whatever the Pleiadian guys had going on in their heads back in the 90's, I really want a glimpse of that. The sounds are so alien that it just makes me wonder. Zeta Reticuli literally takes you to the star system..

What about Lumen - Floob from the same compilation as ceremoniak? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg5hCizJn14 I actually bought the comp on a whim because I wanted that Psychaos - Chaos To Order track, turns out the whole comp was some of the best dark goa ever.

Fuck me, that is epic! Much respect.

Why Not version of And

It is subjective, yeah, but as most of you know, IFO is hailed as the masterpiece of goatrance, the defining album. What about other electronic genres, do they have an IFO of their own? I'd be interested in hearing if there are.

I wonder how much does it contain of pre-2000 material..

You will never cease to amuse me. Site loads fine to me, although there isn't anything there anymore.

So you disagree with the promo? Reminds me of psyreviews reviews, gave me a chuckle.

There's a jewel case goasia?? Why did I buy a digipack again? I hate digipacks.. Also why does Goasias OWN website link you to Kagdila versions only? And there isn't a single mention of Dimensional on Liquid Flows. It seems to me the artists are well aware.. I think everyone has seen them because kagdila keeps spamming them back to the marketplace.. It's pretty annoying to get an email and seeing it's the old prices from months ago.

Some basic things that need fixing.. 1. The search function. It is broken, even though you only want it to list exact words, it may still give you results that make no real sense or contain only one of the words. 2. You cant search by section anymore, you used to be able to but you can't anymore. It will search from every forum. 3. Finding last threads from members only goes so far, like what, 3 threads? Same with posts, it's like 10 posts. You know the function is not that great when you use google and type in "site:linkhere" at the end, rather than the sites own search. Also 3 letter words need to be enabled.. Goa is 3 letters lol.
