This reminds me there was a remix by JaraLuca on the Shakta track, woulda been cool if that had been here instead hehe.

Ahh I see. Thanks for replying.

Great we're getting new music but I'm a little confused with the old tracks. Are they remixed or what? The Shakta track at the end was released by suntrip already.

I remember this synsun track has a lead going in circles thru the track.

Interesting track, it kept fresh with the melodic and serious segments. Reminded me a little of Infinite Dimensions style of psy.

Dewd. If he plays these two tracks at Helsinki I'll go nuts.

Oblivion Planet guys Guysss GGGUYYSSS

I think the cover is fantastic. Form of vector art. I listened to some tracks on their soundcloud and they have this awesome hypnotic progressive goa signature.

I feel like this album took a step back from Dancing With The Blue Spirit. It felt less daring and more straightforward in the vein of the first album. Still there are notable tracks such as 2, 4, 6 and 9, all of which have enough ideas to last till the end while tracks like 7, 3 and 8 felt very monotonous. Also with the first track, Terra Incognita shares the same type of approach but does it much better, this is the first time I truly found a Goasia track so cheesy that I can't listen to it, the main big synths just don't work. On the other hand what I was surprised positively about were the tracks Mental Mutator and Trodotoxin, they're darker and quite psychedelic, would be interesting to hear a whole album in this style and it just shows these guys don't have to stick this morning goa routine. It's not a bad album, but coming off of Dancing With The Blue spirit, an album where I can't find a boring track from start to finish, an album that innovated(imho), I was left disappointed.

Enjoyed it. Silky smooth scifi atmosphere.

That's a shame. I think it's one of the best new school tracks released.

We've come really far.

Filipe now that you're re-releasing music, do you have Astral Plains (Lost Buddha Remix)/Other tracks from the original Untold Stories to be remastered or were they in-fact lost?

He used to have a website but all the links there are dead. I downloaded it with a youtube to mp3 downloader thingymajick. And I know right? The guy put some serious thought into selecting the tracks.

Yes master gives us a taster yes?

I would disagree with this. I've gone through albums with the skipping mentality and said "blah". A while later I might accidentally play full tracks and realize what gems I've missed..

Ooh I was gonna make this topic myself. I actually much prefer full-on / prog mixes because I don't know the tracks so well so I keep getting surprised. These two are just staggering.

Originally posted on: http://mystic-sound.com/exclusive-interview-with-khetzal/ Exclusive interview with KhetzaL for Mystic Sound Records 31.08.2015 Today we’d like to introduce you our exclusive interview with one of the Goa Trance masters – Matthieu Chamoux, KhetzaL. MSR: What does your music name stand for? K: I chose my music name a long time ago when I was fond of precolombian culture. The name itself is a reference to the bird Quetzal that I found to be just a magnificent and fascinating bird. The bird is in danger of extinction, and it was a symbol of the ecologic message I sometimes try to spread through some of my tracks. Apart from that, the bird is also related to the god Quetzalcoatl, the inventor of art, writing and calendar. According to some mythologies, Quetzalcoatl was the deity of the morning and evening stars and the wind… That was the only god who didn’t ask for human sacrifices… I felt myself very close to the spiritual values of that god and the related culture. I’ve just changed two letters for a little more visibility on the internet to have my own uniqueness… I also think that the letter ‘K’ makes a better-looking graphic for my artist name… MSR: Why do you like Goa-trance rhythm? K: I like very much the simultaneous use of electronic and acoustic drums sounds. You get the best of the two worlds, it’s definitely very interesting to work on modeling electronic sounds blended with tribal and/or acoustic drums from all around the world. Apart from that, as a dancer myself, I always feel very attracted by energetic feelings of goa-trance rhythm. It can be sometimes hypnotic, and sometimes very uplifting, and I like very much to jump on the dancefloor! When playing live, Goa-trance rhythm can be very powerful when used with uplifting synthetic melodies. I really like the energy and the state of mind I can reach when playing live, and it’s deeply connected with goa-trance rhythm. MSR: What spiritual meanings do you involve in music you create? K: To be honest, there are almost no spiritual meanings in the music I create. I mean there surely are, but nothing really intended. I’ve been producing and playing music for a very long time in my life, and I consider myself to be just a musician. Music arises from my brain following my inspiration and my mood. Sometimes there’s some kind of story-telling, but I think it’s not really made on purpose. Of course you can recognize some clear references to eastern music and nature sounds, I think these are more some musical appearances linked with my personal tastes. Most of the time, when a track is under construction, I can hear something linked with a specific sample, or a place, or an ancient culture, but once again nothing too much spiritually involved. As stated earlier, there are sometimes some ecological messages in a few tracks, but apart from that, I would not define myself as a great spiritualist! MSR: Who are your music favourites / gurus? K: A lot!!! I’ve been listening to a lot of different music styles since I was born. Too much to tell. My absolute favorite trance-goa project is Jaпa. I like Total Eclipse and Astral Projection a lot. As for ambient, I could say… Azriel, Asura, Astral Waves, Solar Quest… Azriel and Astral Waves AKA DJ Zen are friends of mine, and I must say I really like the way they produce very melodic down-tempo tracks. And I like a lot of rock, electro-rock and indie-rock bands. Again, too many to tell. When talking about electro music, I’m a big fan of The Prodigy, for example! And well… Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd, Vangelis, Archive, and many, many more, depending on what part of my life history and musical tastes I’m talking about. My favorite producers of the moment are Noiserv and Princess Chelsea, nothing related to trance, of course, but I like a lot the melodies in their tracks and the way they build musical magic atmospheres. MSR: What is your opinion of Goamystica compilation? K: I’m very impressed by the sound quality of the tracks! The production quality of the tracks did just amaze me. <a href="http://mysticsound.bandcamp.com/album/goamystica-vol-1">GoamysticaVol. 1 by Mystic Sound Records</a> The selection is very good too. I never feel bored when I hear the whole compilation. A lot of beautiful melodic and uplifting moments. I’m very proud of being part of the compilation with so many talented artists and very well-done tracks. It was very unexpected for me! And I hope a lot of people will enjoy all these tracks. Too bad it’s not available on CD, but I guess this is how things will go, more and more… From a different point of view, it’s a good way to be distributed worldwide. Apart from that, a wonderful release, great tracks and the beautiful artwork! MSR: What music have you been working on lately? K: I’m now part of four bands, I play mainly the keyboards and the violin in electro-rock and rock bands. Shok Doktrine is an electro-rock project with retro-games sounds where I compose electro tracks and play keyboards. Since I Quit is an indie-rock band where I play the keyboards. I also play the violin in the electro-rock band Siamese Faces, and on a fourth project with a singer named Alix Hillen. Sometimes just a voice, a guitar and my violin or my keyboard, it’s a very different experience compared to playing live with a laptop and some synths… I definitely like to have several musical projects in different styles, it’s good not to stay locked in only one musical style. Different ideas, different feelings and different experiences. I also work on a solo project, using a modular synth generating experimental electro, think about controlled improvisation (but sometimes unpredictible), with very powerful sounds coming from outerspace! Beside all these projects, I haven’t produced a lot of trance or ambient music lately for KhetzaL, maybe a lack of time, or not a lot of inspiration right now. One of my very last studio works related to ambient was to record acoustic violin samples for a down-tempo track produced by Itzamnia. I’m thinking about producing the second album, but it will take a lot of time for me to work on it. Don’t expect it to come very soon, sorry for all people waiting for it… Stay tuned, anything can happen! Interview prepared by Vera Uzhva

Hah you're totally right, now I can make that Total Eclipse connection too. It's very reminiscent! Also A sleepers Guide is the best guitar goa track since Shakta's spaceflowers. This album is tasty, groovy, imaginative and colourful. How you can call this boring is beyond me. Just listen to The New World. One of the best tracks I've heard this year.

Is there a cheaper shipping alternative? 8€ is a lot.

The fuck.. I knew psychs were way over their heads but this is on a whole different ballpark.

Psychiatrists can definitely be real cunts, I agree with that. They think they know everything most of the time. Also doesn't help the pharmaceutical industry doesn't actually give a shit about anyones well being.

What do you actually do in your life? What do you think is causing this anxiety, when did it start? Therapy. Finding the root helps. Personally increasing dopamine input helped my anxiety a lot(placebo or not but l-tyrosine made me more focused), but mostly lifestyle changes and meeting a girl curbed it to the ground. I still have issues with it when I'm under stress or certain situations but mine basically went away with just changing how I live, facing situations I normally wouldn't. You could also try Buspar instead of a typical ssri. It's geared toward anxiety quite exclusively even though it contains serotonic properties.

Contraction what the fuck what a track. Sattel battle remix too, the last segment is total space station psy.
