  1. More clear sounding remaster of this can be found on bandcamp. For all those who haven't, do check it out! https://ubartmar.bandcamp.com/album/eigou-kaiki-remaster-edition It's not cheap but this is a typical price for a japanese music release.
  2. Of course good. Cydonia is great. Just listen to this, the resemblance is striking.
  3. 1 Realignment 6:11 2 Apparition (Ghost Mix) 7:09 3 Essence Of Aether 7:43 4 Spectral Light 8:13 So, psynews missed this one? It was available on Chi-ads website in 2006 as a digital EP. The fact nobody has discussed it must either mean nobody noticed, or that it wasn't good. It was good. It is good. What you get is 4 chi-ad tracks that fit somewhere between the production style of Eyes Of Gaia, but melodies and atmosphere of Anno Domini. There is a very fat, deep rumbling groovy bassline from the very first track that sets the tone for the rest of the EP. Expect really dense, jungle like atmospheres. Can't find any huge in your face melodies here, rather more subtle melodies that carry throughout the tracks. And although the first track is pretty melody barren, it has a kind of fast house type of style with goa sounds. What I enjoyed about this EP was that it was so smooth. The groove and flow are impeccable and the dark nightish atmosphere just picks you up right from the get go. Apparition (Ghost Mix)
  4. That last track is pure Cydonia. I cannot tell the difference.
  5. Arcane Voice. No albums but it's very similar

    RA - Unearthly

    I was very surprised to hear so many cheesy / boring melodies on this album. Tracks 5 6 7 and 8 just make me sleepy, the little that is interesting is consumed by the average melody work. The rest are pretty good, especially Rain No Water and Shift are definitely the RA quality you'd expect, but that's not saying much since it's basically 3/7 tracks that are good. I found it really average, which is unfortunate because the uptempo albums chiller tracks are really good. I mean I see where they were going for here, it's a little reminiscent of Vangelis, or older synth music, but it just doesn't pull it off in an interesting way to me - so the more RA sounding tracks are much better.
  7. Tbh that Chaotic-Om is worth getting this alone. Baffled that it was never released in it's original form.
  8. The text makes it sound like it's.. well, drone ambient, which it's not. There's beats everywhere. It sounds more like what we've heard already on the downtempo albums. And the last track is breakbeat. And I liked all of the tracks, it's good stuff - the breakbeat one is especially very interesting. Sky Technology had a breakbeat track too on Colors Of Goa 2, so maybe a psybreaks compilation might happen in the future? ..but where's the ambient?
  9. Very very solid compilation. It's so solid I'm a little surprised I can't consider it an essential, yet at least. The general sound is unfortunately a bit samey throughout and I found a few fillers, but the one's that are not(which is most), are really good. Edit: Pretty much half of this album is fantastic. Asmik, Ohm Mind & Proxeeus, Jaraluca, Arcane Voice and Ephedra are stellar tracks.
  10. Well, there's plenty of unreleased Artha tracks so who knows if something might happen sooner than 6 years
  11. Good luck with this project! It's definitely a bang for the buck.
  12. Semper fi is also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semper_fidelis
  13. I liked X997. Dark repetitious foresty acid. The others were kinda bland. Weird release.
  14. https://www.psydb.net/ was a database that had information on most tracks but it's not longer updated. Psytance should have it's own wiki page that could cover things like these, it would be helpful to a lot people I'd imagine. Anyone have time to make one?
  15. I've had this feeling too. Like I said there are many musical qualities here that are absolutely great. It's very frantic scifi warp-speed goa and with some equalizing it sounds pretty good too. The default soundstage is just not great which is a shame.
  16. Oh right I forgot they were up already
  17. A bunch of unreleased goodies. Mindsphere is ascending to another level with some of these tracks. Just stunning, beautiful work. https://soundcloud.com/mindsphereproject/mindsphere-live-old-is-gold-19-24092016-belgium
  18. Great dark goa. The only tracks that are a bit iffy are Insekure and maybe Drug Slut, but otherwise it's a fantastic album in the realm of dark goa. The atmospheres and melodies are very memorable. Overlooked for sure. "The Link" is one my favourite downtempo goa works ever.
  19. https://zion604records.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-jungle-remake 1.Chakra & Avi - Insignificant Form Of Life (DNA Remake) 08:14 2.Phreaky, DNA Remake - Phreaky - The Second Moon (DNA Remake) 06:50 3.Joti & Avi - Etheogenic Spiral (DNA Remake) 07:46 4.Joti & Avi - Solid Bubbles (DNA Remake) 07:21 5.Dino & Avi - Tango Electro (DNA Remake) 07:53 6.Oli & Avi - Nuclear Fissionchips (DNA Remake) 06:59 I must say this feels like an odd choice, especially with the fact not all of the tracks were remade from the original album. The title track missing feels weird too. Sound quality is definitely much, much better and stylistically it does definitely fall in line with Zion's output.
  20. This is a fantastic release. Goa absolutely needs the darker / experiemental variation like this. No bad tracks here.
  21. Astral Projection remixing Filteria That sentence feels like an oxymoron.
  22. I gots to say PsyKo-Mind-Porteur is one helluva psychedelic awesome track. Feels like the older crossing mind in a way.
  23. 1. Aerosis album There's several tracks to be found on the interwebs but why didn't the album ever materialize? 2. Lapsus This guy made awesome psychedelic goa and... ? 3. The Joti Sidhu albums Was it all a big joke? 4. Frozen Dreams "psydance" compilation (with lapsus) This thing just ceased to exist, it's been 6 years.. Big questions.
  24. There's just something about the grounded experience Dancing With The Blue Spirit gives. It's almost like being teleported to a location like this https://flic.kr/p/dSjZh8
