What? Oh, you tried to make a funny? Was a nice effort, though my conclusive review is 0/10. You are free to try harder next time. Tips for the future, just for you.

Some really cool stuff here! I have never even heard of mandelbox before, I gotta check that thing out. I've only used Ultra Fractal myself(Check the link in my sig if you're interested), I didn't really like the way Apo works myself.

Very cool, I have never heard these before.

Definitely! Guri & Guru was just insane. Ubar Tmar never sold out like other artists, he still makes music with soul! He posted this a few days ago, really trippy, deep stuff I seriously hope there is something coming.

Most artist today just throw them in there. In old school it felt more natural. The real problem's are in full-on, even modern goatrance has a couple issues with using samples, but far less than what in full-on imo. The samples just get thrown in 'for good measure'. That's it. I enjoy samples when they fit and flow with the rest of the track though.

I'm not really sure if you think so but E-Mantra - Telluric Waves is such a nice summer tune. (145bpm thou) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_08QOblTK2o Also E-Mantra - Moonwalker from the same compilation. (138 bpm) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNg7dlu2tS8

Any special edition things this time around?

That's so awesome! You should hook up with Takeshi Isogai and make some epic collabs. I know you guys aren't far from each others!!! Great! New picture too! All the best ~

Psychaos - Spacial Distortion

I can believe that but the sudden activity hes shown in the 6 month period leads me to believe, and hope, he's cooking a new album. Would be a real shame if he wasn't.

I noticed all of this while I was making the other thread and I didn't want to hijack that thread with this news. Is Ubar Tmar making a comeback? I searched for new stuff from him and I came across a newly formed soundcloud page from him. Check out RIPDMM, the production quality sounds more modern and I have never heard it before. Website http://uvantam.com/ Twitter http://twitter.com/uvantam Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/uvAntam#p/u/0/f_0a-n1cWDc These are definitely new tracks!

http://www.discogs.com/Uvantamcom-Hen/release/2033325 I really want to hear this thing, but what can you do when it was given with a purchase of guri & guru at a party in japan. I've always understood why music is rare but I've never understood why it shouldn't be heard..

I made one http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/59221-goasia-dancing-with-the-blue-spirit/

What the hell filipe, you have so many projects that I've lost count. Good ep though! Sounds very old school and that link to Chynacid sounds great too! I'm glad someone is doing this sort of stuff.

My guess is download.

Goasia - Dancing With The Blue Spirit DIMENSIONAL RECORDS 2010 1. Black Kahva 9:29 2. How Deep Is Your Trip 7:35 3. Dancing With The Blue Spirit 7:31 4. Avatar 8:21 5. Etnic City 7:37 6. Visitors 8:30 7. Sabotage 8:25 8. Terra Incognita 7:34 9. Transonic Fields 8:01 10. Reach New Land 6:17 Goasia is finally back and better than ever! Goasia first debuted with a double artist album, Purple Energy, which featured tracks from Omegahertz's and Goasia's, both of which have a completely unique style. Goasia presented us something we hadn't gotten before in goatrance. It had a reminesence of the soft sound of Dimension5, but it was far more liquid and the melodies were very emotional and ethnic. I personally can't even explain them, the influences are all over the place, asia, india, you name it. Then Goasia made their first solo album debut with Suntrip records in 2007. The album was called From Other Spaces and the style was far more refined of what was heard before. The overall tone of the album was a mix of spacey and down to earth atmospheres with underlying themes of discovering, peace and love. The melodies were uplifting, unique, booming straight from the heart yet not venturing to the cheesy side in any way in my opinion, though one negative was that the album as a whole lacked some variation. After 3 years Goasia is back with a 2nd Solo album on Kagdila Records(who have finally really jumped on the new school goa ship with 3 albums in less than 6 months)Read this. which features a reworked style of what you'd except from Goasia. This is also well represented with the cover, while the last album was more space oriented digital artwork, this one is a traditional painting. What kind of style exactly? Let's find out. CLICK FOR SAMPLES Black Kahva The album starts out with an echoic voice sample that is being rattled from left to right. 0:14 we get a soothing synthesizer pad and at 0:27 the bassline arrives. It's very deep, rolling like a huge non-textured wheel and the kick follows the same path - a true goatrance bassline, I'd expect nothing less. A lot of atmospheric and organic sounding details ensue after the introduction. The melodies are very Goasia but even though you know it is Goasia without even knowing the track or artist name, there's something different here. 3:34 arrives and we get our first major melody segment, which is absolutely inspiring. It is ethnic, it is epic, it is organic and vivid. After the melody segment we get a small breakpoint and at 4:43 the same melody arrives with real world instrument (Sounds like one of the Indian acoustic quitar things. I'm not sure as I do not know.) and its a fantastic touch. Only adds to the whole theme of organic and ethnic sound. The track progresses further getting more and more crazier with different kind of sounds. Namely 6:36 it introduces this absolutely fantastic liquidy sound. Absolutely breathtaking track of an introduction to a new style. How Deep Is Your Trip Starts with a spiritual echoing sound 0:15 introduces yet another absolutely loveable synth pad. As it progresses we get a bassline that is still deep but not as rolling and hitting like the previous track, a solid stomp with a nice kick. A lot of different sorts of little interesting details flying around as it goes on. 1:59 gives us the main melody and it's a little more toned down on the crazy scale. It flows on with different unique magical sounds as it goes forward. 3:33 after a small breakpoint we get something absolutely new. These sounds that the Goasia guys use are just incredible. They're unique, interesting and sound extremely good and organic. Makes me wonder how the hell do they come up with this stuff. 5:18 a breakpoint arrives a flying bird echoes, the melody arrives again and gets slowly twisted and then progresses into a very pleasing ending. Overall a more spiritual journey than the last one, taking some turns from the path and doing new things. Dancing With The Blue Spirit Ah, the title track, and that's what it should be. The track starts with an absolutely peaceful atmosphere with a ton of passion and love in the air and definitely not long and the emotional melody arrives. The bassline rolls the song forward very calmly. 3:18 a breakpoint arrives, it establishes the spiritual mood even more and has a small whistle segment which only makes the organic sound so much more better. A melody arrives again at 3:59 and it's so completely heart warming and euphoric. Small details such as a whistle follows it along. 4:40 and a new breakpoint where an epic echoing melody let's us rest for a moment and then comes back with the bassline. The rest of track gives a more more breakpoint and the last segment that ends so very beautifully. This piece of music is the most emotional thing Goasia has ever done and one of the most emotional goatrance tracks ever made. Also a big plus on the rich unique textures that deepen the experience. Absolutely beautiful! Avatar This is where the new Goasia style finally comes completely clean. This an epitome of an ethnic and organic sound. Different organic sounds emerge at every turn, it is like forest wildlife, excluding the bigger animals of course. The bassline follows the same line as the earlier one's but is a bit more pronounced as it really does create the base for the atmosphere. 2:53 a breakpoint arrives and it is lifted back up with this absolutely different kind of melody. It sounds like no other has ever sounded, or I have ever heard at least. I can't describe it, but I do love it. 5:00 arrives and the track takes a new turn to the Goasia experiment land. 5:40 and the atmosphere gets very playful, the upcoming rhythms make you smile. I'd love to see how this would affect the dancefloors! Absolutely a wonderful track. When I listen to it I see a morning forest or a jungle in my mind, the atmosphere is so strong. Etnic City Ethnic sounds ensue. Sounds like you are entering Aboriginal's village! You get a tribal singing sample that works like magic on the atmosphere. A Colourful and uplifiting melody arrives at 2:38. The tribal sounds follow in it's steps. 3:38 slow it all to a breakpoint where it can developed a twisted melody that would make a snake charmer move like a snake himself. From there it progresses with quite the same pattern as the rest of the tracks have, but obviously everything else is different. The melodies, effects. Again it doesn't disappoint. Ethnic, organic, spiritual! Visitors Since this is still a goatrance album, who wouldn't have expected something that involves aliens? The atmosphere from the very beginning is more mysterious and uses sounds that reminesence 'alien' twirls, swirls and other the kind of effects, but with some tongue in cheek vintage style. The backgrounds are full of sci-fi atmospheres too. It's great how they retain that organic sound here as well as it only adds to the vintage style. Also this is the first time we get more of a typical kind of sample, definitely from some older sci-fi movie, nice touch. At 5:05 we find ourselves engulfed with an absolutely wonderful melody work. The whole track is quite mysterious but still spiritual and uplifting in other regards. Fantastic! Sabotage Starts with bubbly acid, a muddy bassline arrives and we're already at full tempo here. The first melody arrives at 1:20. Pretty typical by now but still great, but what's great about this track is how the melody gets loony at 2:25. It's just crazy, happy, cool. Then at 2:53 it ups the notes, repeats, until 3:20 where this track starts to shine so bright. It sounds so danceable, so fun, unique, down to earth. The rest of the track is a fun ride till the very end as well. Another great pumping track. Terra Incognita Begins with a spiritual calm foggy morning atmosphere. A bassline arrives and it's calmer and toned down, and it is accompanied with really soft hi-hats. A very bright, emotional and ethnic melody makes the track climb the blue tinted foggy hill it is facing. Going through different kinds of areas of it, eventually getting to the peak where a new melody is rewarded at 4:24. The melodies in this track remind me of their older work namely a very chill crossways. The style of the melody is so strong with it's smile-educing that some may find it to breach the cheesy side, but this is not nitzo that we are talking about here, mind you. Very ethereal and a calm song, a nice break from the earlier tracks which were more dance-floor oriented. Transonic Fields This is a quite old track which has been probably reworked quite a bit of times. It sounds a bit more like From Other Spaces style because of that. It is another uptempo track but with much more calmness and beautiful, emotional, autumn forest/sunset at a beach melodies. They even get better when it's progressing towards the end. Very strong, emotional melody work here. In my opinion a track that could have easily fit in the first album, as well. Nice blend of the new production with the old. Reach New Land Begins with a calm sundown atmosphere, water flowing, magical sirens. A quirky toned down melody comes, piano starts playing, a cute japenese woman's voice appears. All of the layers seem like mostly real world instruments. Absolutely fantastic composition. Enthralling, uplifting, chill, magical sundown atmosphere throughout. Makes my hair stand up like with dancing with the blue spirit. There is so much richness and emotion in the production. The Goasia guys really outdid themselves here, what a beautiful piece. This album sounds far more analogue, down to earth spiritual, ethnic and organic than anything else I've heard. (They expressed in the back of the cover how they decided to only use analogue sounds on this album and it does show.) Those of which I have to stress the word organic, it really, really sounds like it. From the very names to the music itself. The style of this music is absolutely nothing like anything else ever created. If you know an artist who has made this kind of music, please tell me, but I have never heard of something like this before myself. This album is also a huge step up from the first one, it's more varied and sounds completely fresh, whereas the first one had some trouble trying different things. Also the great richness of the textures, the small fine details is something that could potentially blow you away. You might have noticed I did not mention storytelling very much, that is because I wanted to save that for the closing comments. Yes, this is extremely storytelling music for such upbeat music in my opinion. The amount of different, new kind of sounds, effects and atmospheres have that kind of effect on the whole thing. Also the fact that it does have such richness on this recording is amazing. Do yourself a favour and check this album out, it is a completely new experience in the goatrance history. Oh and couple of things I'd like to point out, I've listened to this album while running in the forest at sunny mornings and it shines even brighter there. It is so inspirational and organic, it flows like a river in such a location. I'm also finding myself having hard time reviewing these tracks because they are so full of sounds that I have not heard before and can't name them, or even express them with words that well, but I just had to review this thing. It is incredible. Where to get it/samples? http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/dim/dim1cd003.html http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=8699 http://www.beatspace.com/dettagli/labels_dettaglio.aspx?id=1152&t=Dimensional%20Records http://www.DimensionalRecords.com On another note, I am utterly astonished at the variety we are getting this year! This album along with Artha's twisted trippy sounds, Alienapias dark and powerful atmospheres, V/A Temple Of Chaos's acid tweaking, V/A Goatronikas and Energy Waves's brighter melodies and V/A Protozoa's pumping nitzhogoa style. I hope we can keep this up for a long time! This review is best read with the "blue darkness" forum skin option.

Crossing Mind - Psy Crise

I also didn't really like those basslines.

The thing was corrupt for me, can someone upload last 3 tracks please? P.s. the Persistent Aura track is great!

Thanks for the music Filipe, these really do sound old school Hey, I've wanted to hear those, everyone had such positive comments but I can't listen to them since diaks took down the myspace.

We need videos, pictures and perhaps a downloadable mix of moonweeds set from this event

Well, I hope people get some inspiration to do darker after this compilation. All of this love I'm having towards TOC just shows I'm getting a little tired with the morning sound apparently. It's not bad and we're getting some of the best morning goa these days, but years of releasing, mostly, only that makes it a little tedious. Variety, variety, variety. That's always needed. Nevermind, I posted it myself.
