Wonderful! That's great news. :posford:

There hasn't been much updates on Goasia and just now I checked their myspace, http://www.myspace.com/goasiaproject (Check out 'crossways' by the way, Very nice tune), and it seems they are performing live gigs very active, but what about new material? I know they released a new track on Goa Times Now And Then but that's about it as far as I know. Then again, maybe it's too early to ask since it hasn't been THAT long since the debut came out...

lol I'd buy it.

Juno Reactor - Conquistador II I never noticed the acid sound that comes with the kick.. these headphones make me hear the little details that I never noticed before.

One of the worst imo Jikooha & Eiji's - My Revolution And Yours remixed into Jikooha - My Revolution And Yours(Filteria's Vive La Revolution Remix) I'm exactly saying it's a bad track, per se, but listen to the first version first and then go to Filteria's version and you'll see what I mean.

Quality full-on!!! :posford:

I just find it ironic that you point that out when there's Other electronic subforum right beneath this one. But yeah, kettel is awesome.

Even though the mindsphere album's cover is REALLY bad, it's possible I'd still buy it because of the fantastic music. Covers affect how I see the album. I feel like I create a connection with a cover and the music, subconsciously. Like Ormion said..

Edit: Oh woops I thought this was a thread in general psytrance. Don't mind me, carry on.

Have to check this one out, really liked the first one.

Few extracts here which I hadn't heard http://cdn.trig.com/goalien/media/album/9815 and of course myspace has some http://www.myspace.com/goalien So good. :posford: :posford: :posford:

After first listen. Extremely FRESH. Bits and pieces might take you away from the underwater feeling but this album delivers something completely new and very interesting ideas and melodies. Beautiful piece of work.

This guy used the nick even before the announcement of a VA called Freshly Cut Tomato. So if anything, it's the other way around.

Filteria - Operation Pulse Beyond epic. The best album starter out of all albums in my opinion. God I love this.

Funny thing, just today i was bored and I tried it out on my Creative MuVo for shits and giggles. 20 seconds of fiddling with it and the sound on it was insanely clearer and punchier(I.E. Bass boost). Goddamn, I used the normal EQ setting for a year...

I use these as well, they're really good. How? And almost getting hit by a car is definitely your own fault, not the headphones.

Zirrex - Lost In Time True to the last bone goa and no reviews? Colour me surprised.

Turned on my ps3, then switched on tv, it was set on a channel which was showing this film. So, I decided to watch a little while if it was good and what do you know, watched the whole thing. It was a really sad, touching film and done extremely well. IMDB plot synopsis: "The true story of Ivan Sanchin, the KGB officer who was Stalin's private film projectionist from 1939 until the dictator's death. Told from Sanchin's view, the sympathetic but tragically flawed hero maintains unwavering faith in his "Master" despite the arrest of his neighbors and his involvement with their daughter, his wife's affair with the chilling State Security chief Lavrentii Beria and her tragic decline, and the deadly political machinations within the Kremlin he witnesses firsthand. Written by Martin H. Booda " Movies like these you won't ever hear about, which is sad because it's a very good one. It was pure coincidence that I watched it and I'm glad I did. 10/10

Wow, the influence is definitely there.

Filteria - Daze Of Our Lives SUNTRIP RECORDS 2009 1. Filtertraces (Abstract Dream Remix) 10:18 2. The Big Blue 8:21 3. Wormhole 8:47 4. Eyeless Observatory 8:23 5. In the Heaven's Eye 13:49 6. Infinite Regression (Feat Ukiro) 8:47 7. Earthrise 8:39 8. Float Away and Disappear 8:00 I've dug deeper into this album for the past 2 days and a personal thing that happened gave me new perspective for this album(The coincidence is baffling). Filtertraces (Abstract Dream Remix) Starts the album with something you would have never expected to hear on a Filteria album. Soothing calm melodies and soundscape, like if it were from a dream. This track was put together in such a way that it all flows beautifully like a river from the beginning to the end, even though it manages to have several climaxes. It's a completely new experience to listen this track, for I have never heard anything like it. It's also the first track to show the quality - and complexity - of Filteria's new work. Very surprising, in a good way, of course. Might I add, this track has become an evergreen to me. The Big Blue Follows in the steps of Filtertraces, but ups the tempo and speed of things overall. Atmospheric and very spacey, and, on top of that, the melody work just oozes with emotion. That is especially nice when the same style of Birds Lingva Franca-esque crystal clear synth work is coupled with it. Filtertraces and The Big Blue are amazing pieces of flowing tracks with real emotion attached to them. Wonderful pieces of music.(Thank you, Jannis.) Wormhole Starts out very hallucinogenish with the wacky playfulness, but soon after it just progresses further in to the new Filteria-realm and keeps experimenting. It really feels like hallucinogen with a KOB/Filteria crossover, it's just so playful and full of blazing layered psychedelia. 4:05 is the highlight for me, the melody work is out of this world. Something Birds Lingva Franca introduced, extremely colourful and uplifting, but it doesn't stay for long, which, sigh, is a damn shame because it's just that good. Every time I hear it, I get excited like a little kid in the candy store. Wormhole does feels oddly too short in sense of a rollercoaster, it's 8:47, but at the end you keep wanting more, because it never really grows tiresome. Though, it might be the best for it. Not too long for it's own good, maybe? Great stuff anyhoo. Eyeless Observatory I wouldn't want to, but I'm going to have to, steal Jon's words for this, it's filled with Adrenaline injections - it seems to level up and level up all the time. I love how this track somehow benefits from the plain repetitious deep bassline, that is apparent throughout the track. The build-ups just go so well with it. The whole track is filled with the most crisp sounding acid you've ever heard, it's a feast for acid lovers. All of the layers have enough spacing out to separate from themselves. After 5:10 the track gives some really funky acid filled sounds that will be madness on the dancefloor, no doubt. I'd also reckon something like that would be a treat to old school people. Truly acidic Goatrance. Badass track! In The Heavens Eye Is an odyssey like others have mentioned before. Floaty and spacey in a way you have not heard before... at the beginning. I call this one the odd one of the album. You'd think it's chillout, but after the 3 minute beautiful, sensational interlude, it reveals thats it's not here to stay and continues to move to other places. I don't feel much story-telling here, albeit it seems to try to go for it. Something is missing in that department and I can't quite put my finger on it. It comes down to me as more progressive in the literal sense of the word. This does not hurt it, though - much -, it's still a great track -- coupled with a few gripping moments of awe. Infinite Regression (Feat Ukiro) Is... madness. Finally a dedicated fast track from the beginning to the end! Not to say Eyeless Observatory, or wormhole aren't, but this more old Filteria esque than anything else on this album. I love how professional and sharp the production is - like shiny metallic glossiness on a very expensive piece of hardware. Very flying, crisp and detailed melodies throughout with the filling layers of sounds you'd feel empty without. The final climax at 6:34 is definitely the highlight, complete Maximal-full-on goatrance - blazing trippy melodies. Every sound of the track coupled together in a complete psychedelic madness of a mess, yet remaining in shape. It also, needless to say, reminds me of the old Filteria in terms of power, which is why I'm loving it - as I said, old Filteria power with these new techniques is something to behold. Also, the sample use is great! Earthrise Introduces new ways and sounds, at parts it makes me feel completely ecstatic. It's epic. Earthy, yet spacey. Storytelling. Amazing. The climax melody that starts at 6:42 I don't know how to put it, but it makes me feel like I'm flowing in joy and love, it makes me inspired. Wonderful melody work. Gold. Hands down the track for me in this album and possibly the track of 2009, we'll see. Float Away & Disappear This is something I would expect from hallucinogen or old entheogenic, but in the style of Filteria - which, of course, is not something you would expect from him. It's a nice ambientish/chillout ender, fiddled with several interesting moments and soundscapes. Not something I come back to though. If I had to pick, this is the worst of the whole bunch, not to say it's bad in any real way, it's just not very grasping. Some opinions on the new Filteria style. + I have to mention that Filteria didn't lose the Goa-kick. It's there very apparent on The Big Blue, Wormhole, Eyeless Observatory, Infinite Regression and Earthrise, which of I'm glad as I love Filteria's Goa-kick. + Even if I felt like there were too many slower tracks here(Which is no longer a problem. See: First sentence of this post), the diversity is outstanding. + New and exciting. - Whatever happened to Birds Lingva Franca? The only similar sounding part on this whole album is in wormhole and upon further listening, The Big Blue, although not as much. BLF was gold! - If I had to nitpick something, there's not many samples used. Filteria uses them well so that it's a bit of a bummer(See: Infinite Regression, The Snuggling Snail, Stars (Starstuff remix), Unfiltered (Moon Remix)). - And, well, maybe some of the sounds were reused a bit too many times or something. It gets a little repetitious, sometimes. And I do miss the Sky Input era. This not bad music, this is great music, but I deeply love the Sky Input and Heliopolis era of blazing melodic goa-trance so much. It's almost unfathomable how much I would like to hate this album because of this - But god-damn it, this is awesome music, I just can't hate it. Initial reaction really showed this though; I was blinded by the disappointment that this wasn't Sky Input or Heliopolis-like, but upon more listening and being more open minded, I saw that it was great, just not what I was expecting nor wanting. Truly new heights have been reached with this album in terms of complexity and innovation, though. I cannot wait what other stuff Filteria has in store for us - Whilst hoping a little bit, that he'd grace us with a few Helio-Input-oriented fast tracks. I recommend Daze Of Our Lives for every single goa-trance listener, or electronic listener for that matter, even if you disliked or liked the old Filteria material, love or hate typical goa-trance, this album will have something for you. I guarantee that. It's not only quality goa-trance, it is quality electronic music.

Good point. Many thought afgin was SUNCD13 including me. Edit: Wait, what about Goasia as SUNCD13? I saw 'Goasia' itself browsing this thread and I'd be extremely delighted if that were the case.
