I did not realize he was full-on now. What happened to goa? Also that's interesting I didn't know he was behind Ezel-ebed.

Way to generalize.

Don't worry about it, be happy.

It's been a year without news.. He is releasing single tracks (not bad) through beatport it seems but nothing about this big project... https://www.facebook.com/PsychaosRecordings

From the movie Pain & Gain. Michael Bay might make dumb movies but his cinematography is fantastical. This one moment was so utterly random and beautiful at the same time I went great lengths to gif it.

Wouldn't that be more appropriate for

Could be because the kickstarter project failed miserably? It was unfortunate, but not surprising at all. Even the Etnica Live In Athens LP didn't meet the goal. I think he was grasping too far. Oh well, I'm glad Time Travel happened.

Both of those are good.

Well yeah, thats the basic gist of it. If you start today with FL studio or whatever you completely skip the musical theory and study. It might have something to do with why people don't consider modern goa as good many times, but not everyone good in old school was musically trained either.

I've heard quite a few of the big producers of 90s had previous background in musical fields before even starting goa (and/or were wealthy people), so that definitely gave them an edge when it came to engineering, producing tracks and creating melodies. I hope someone with more information could clarify this.

As expected... what about the tracks themselves, anything good?

This sounds very promising.

Trying to deal with a douchebag on ebay. Claims Royal Mail require notification in 14 days if package is not received or they drop the case, turns out you have to wait 20 days of no delivery to even open a case. Fucker.

Healing Magic is... magic. Maybe the best sample use in goatrance ever.

MWNM is an exception not the rule.

I wish someone would pick Cybernetika to do a movie/game soundtrack actually.

Man I don't even know why I had this on my hard drive. It's pretty much darkpsy but the last 3 tracks have some wicked 303!

Why don't they offer it in the first place? Just make a page where you can donate to the charity and you get the files in return.

Fair enough. I came off a bit over-defensive. Still think the cheese is at minimum here tho.

I really don't care so as long as it looks good to me. I actually really like it when someone takes those motifs and puts their own twist on it. Could do with less basic photoshop and stealing artwork though. For the latter I still see it on a daily basis, especially these low production quality releases on psyshop tend to have copyrighted artwork on them without permission what-so-ever. Scene is so tiny though that nobody seems to care or even notice.

Artist: Takeichiro Kurosaki aka K.U.R.O. Date: 2014-01-07 By: GagaISM Translator: Hiroko Do you remember your first experience with electronic music and what kind of impression it made on you? Firstly I came in touch with electro music from Yellow magic orchestra was In beginning of 80s when I was 12 years old. was big impact for me YMO's Sequencer sounds. Also I was really liked to drum sound of Prince / Let's Go Crazy,I repeatedly to listening to Linn Drums sound. How did you get introduced to the Goa sound and what inspired you to start producing such music? In early 90s I been to party of DJ KUDO (aka Artman) every week, then I met different style of techno music like "The Infinity Project/Hyperactive" And "E-Rection" as on time of starting culture movements and After I went to Club Geoid (where the legendary club for Japanese Goa scene) there i could hear "Man with No name" etc. So, This era started interesting to making tracks and got inspiration for melodies and tones like hints for creating tracks from each party I attended to... Could you tell me a bit about the early days of the Japanese Trance scene and how Tokyo Tekno Tribe started? When I met Goa style of Music, Japan had an excellent organizer called Equinox, Equinox organized parties and people learned from them, and started new organizations. Tokyo techno tribe member was met in Equinox parties and started create tracks together. Your first album "Revolution"is considered a classic in the Goa scene. Could you tell me a little a bit about the production of it and what kind of gear you used? I am very happy about people getting interesting what I done in past, It was a simple way to record directly to DAT, played all the parts in the Sequencer and recorded. Now is easy to handle all works by computer so I will not do same as past Sequencer Commodore Amiga 500 Synth Sequential Circuits SIXTRAK Roland JUNO-106 Korg Mono/Poly Korg POLY-800 Sampler Akai S900 Effector Maxon DD1000 Yamaha SPX-900 Drum machine Akai XR10 Yamaha RY-30 Korg DDD-5 Mixer Yamaha MV-1602 Above tool I was using for album "Revolution" What were your favorite Goa artists and releases back then? Juno Reactor MASA Man With No Name Voodoo People Zodiacyouth Total Eclipse Psychaos Einstein Koxbox Spectral Saafi Brothers Delta Elysium Johann X-Dream Psyko Disko midimiliz Green Nuns Of The Revolution Blue Planet Corporation Electric Universe Almost all artist gave me inspire and passion at the time. You also had another project called "Charm". How was this different from K.U.R.O.? Charm was worked under the name of PLUTO and Trance Warp, created Hard core techno sounds, after changed name to Charm. First era we care about melodies, and Tatsuo was making more melodies than me, After we were listening minimal techno, so we created tracks by an emphasis on minimal style. I started project as K.U.R.O. for own single project. You would eventually move on from the Goa sound to a much darker style of Tech-Trance. Both with K.U.R.O. and Charm. Was X-Dreams Radio an inspiration for this change in sound? I think we hadeffected by Radio, Also Flying Rhino / White Rhino Synchro Kitchen Sync / Power On TIP Records Spirit Zone Recordings / Tathata Symbiosis Records / Funk Above tracks and albums gave us more ideas. Sametime I listen techno music like Basic Channel Chain Reaction Monolake Cari Lekebusch Eternal Basement Tresor, Especially Monolake I was heavy listener. Your second K.U.R.O. album "Satisfaction" is one of my favorite Trance albums of all time. How do you remember that period and the creation of the album? This time was created track by computer and soft synth, I was experimenting mix with Goa sound with EBM and Techno. The next K.U.R.O. album "Modulation" would be even more Techno-orientated. What inspired you to explore that genre? Its from Minimal Techno, I wasn't listen Goa trance and psy trance this time, essences is inside of tracks but much more go into Minimal techno. Your last album "Conception" was only released digitally. Can we ever expect physical releases from Psyristor Trax again? Relese by physical disk is planned, but still havent decide date of release, I really wish soon able to release. How is the japanese Trance scene doing these days? Japanese Goa scene is now getting new wave, still keeps old good parts in parties. Especially around DJ YUTA (Matsuri Digital /Mind of Vison), who is current pioneer and leader of Goa scene. Young generation run good parties in Japan. also Jikooha is cheer-up Neo-Goa scene, Masa is still keep his style and playing around. Could you mention your 10 favorite albums of all time? Cant say exactly 10 album, but I listen to Monolake/Interstate YMO and techno mixes of Ness Claudio PRC Giorgio Gigli Also I like modular synth, Thereofore listning to modular synthartist tracks like aRichardDevine etc

Re-Horakhty is incredible. I've quoted it a ton of times and think it's one of the best modern dark goa you can find.
