Daze grew out of me over the years, I barely listen to it and what I do is Wormhole, Eyeless Obs. and Earthrise. It is faaaaaar from bad music, even great, but my current taste acquirement pushes me away from it. Maybe one day I will love the whole thing and find something I haven't yet, because it has potential to do that. But with this new album the samples showed again a new sound direction, I'm cautiously optimistic of what it might entail.

It happens every time. Year after year, matrix continues to rile me up. I care to argue it is far more than what the majority of people perceive it to be, and even more important than it is considered. If I actually went on about explaining my thoughts on as to why I think this is, I'd end up writing a fokken book - but I'll indulge you on some levels. Matrix in of its own is a perfect standalone movie and the sequels did not affect it and that's great, but what is not great is how easy it is for people to flock to critize a sequel to something that did not neccesarily need one. The writers obviously had the whole thing panned out before the movies were made, I mean the whole story. The trilogy makes The Matrix into a more substantial universe and has the guts to answer questions in a manner that make you think - ergo; the architecht (see what I did there!?). It never becomes inadvertently dumb(although the last Smith fight in Revolutions kinda, well, does). Whatever the trilogy does, does with love and care. The bullshit the sequels got weren't deserved and I will forever and always stand by that. They are more than just dumb sequels and whoever argues otherwise doesn't care to look further than their own nose. The standalone of the first film didn't automatically equal the sequels being just a money grub sham dumb hollywood shit, because they aren't that. The trilogy was, is and forever will be special. It proved Hollywood we didn't have to settle for story-noaction or action-nostory while doing it's own thing not neccesarily diluting itself with both into mashed potatoes that just tastes like water, the pacing of the movies makes sure of that. I'm sure a lot of people in the psytrance community, whats with many having field days with themes of religion and exploration of the mind, can agree these movies are fascinating ideas brought fourth with a different type of entertaiment typeset. I felt the movies are what I would define as perfect representation of Goa, not the place, not the genre, but the ideas it brings forth - to make you think, imagine. And that is why I fucking love this trilogy and hate to see the hate. I'll just leave the end of this post for suggesting to being open minded, going back and rewatching the trilogy, not ignoring the philosophical questions it puts on you, not ignoring the tremendously fantastic work of the lore, art and even action(I was genuinely suprised how fantastic the action was in Reloaded, even to this day). There are a lot of good articles on the internet about the more deeper themes The Matrix presents us that are often ignored, if you are interested. And before I forget, the Animatrix, if you never saw it, GO WATCH IT. It explains SO MUCH and extends the lore and story even further than the sequels did. Remember remember the fifth of... Fuckawesome that is.. The Matrix.

Grr you pressed me to buy the L.E. It's always a fuzzy feeling having something most don't. Then again it's all kind of pointless and whatever you get is, in the end, a quality product. Btw is there gonna be early digital copy for preorders?

Well that sucks... Anyway I find it funny that such obscurity like Planet Funk (nowadays) is still being mentioned in such a place like this hehheh. Nobody ever talked about it in my life.

Oh boy. I remember way back when I had a school trip on the 6th grade and when we were finally heading back home I borrowed a CD (Back when we actually had pocket CD players) and it had all these pop hits of early 2000's and one of the tracks was Inside All The People. Obviously this was yet the mass-information age where we had high speed internet and whatever that was even remotely electronic was always up to my alley. Absolutely adored this sound. The vocals were something I enjoyed (and still do, this type of melting voice) and the electronic elements just sealed the deal. I had such affection for this track but alas I couldn't get much more of it and it eventually disappeared. Now fast forward some years and I remembered the track and googled, got their albums and The Illogical Consequences just completely made one of my summers, good memories, lovely chill electronic sound. Guys really made masterful stuff and I always felt were way under-appreciated even considering they did sink into mainstream with a couple tracks. Was disappointed as fuck with the shit 3rd album called Static. What made Planet Funk so flippin good and unique was gone and instead replaced with this wannabe artsy crap, like they tried too hard and it ended up being just a fucking disaster. Apparently 2 years ago they released a 4th? Haven't listened yet but I'm not holding my breath.

Ha that's awesome!

Heard this on a radio show the other day, so pleasantly surprised! Pure 90s! Post moar new old schooly tracks

Humm the samples sound different from what I was expecting. We'll see.

The weather. It sucks. It sucks balls. Fucking weather, man.

Ultimate example imho. It's the perfect 1 hit wonder.

Ah that'd be fantastic.

Also of course exclusive clips of tracks and all that kind of stuff.

Nasha is THE album along with Dark Side Of The Brain (aside from the shit mastering). I always preffered the dark CS sound, it's very hypnotic.

You really need to give reasons to stay tuned on it. Update every week at minimum. Also what drives a good page is to get people involved, I don't know, do occasional give-aways/contests, polls, questions that you actually care about. Party pic of the week, interviews(maybe let people make the questions), comments!? All sorts of stuff if you really wanna get into it. I'd suggest you plan ahead a little bit so you don't run out of content immidiately.

Their 90s stuff is fantastic fo sho.

E-Mantra for the love of god, make a full album like Tracks 1 and 5! That amazing dark, twisted sci-fi ambient sound is incredible! Man I could totally see this type of sound in a darker thrillerish scifi movie too. "Scored by E-Mantra", wouldn't that be neat!?

Awesome! As a side note have you guys managed to get some more unreleased process/mfg/ubar tmar tunes at all? I did hear mfg might have already released everything..

OHHOHHOHHOHHO IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME EARLY THIS YEAR

So it was uth! I heard the samples and wondered who did that magnificently beautiful tonality. The leads, synths, are so pixelated and crystallized, it's most thin ice glass breaking every on every millimeter while the other heavier dubby layers just add to it's penetrating sound. The atmosphere is so fantastical, heavenly. I cannot get enough of this type of tonality and trancy sound on a track - and with dubstep layers nonetheless, the contrast it creates. Fucking awesome! I want more!!! What a tune! Menkalian was a big track for me too, reminded me of RA with less heavier melodies. Great comp otherwise too, much better than the first iteration, albeit also quite different.

Thanks guise :3

Guess it's a matter of perception.

I really have to emphasize this; Daikaisho is absolutely a fantastic old school tune. Everything about it screams that true goa sound! Dark, mysterious and emotional. What a rush. I think overall the compilation gives a good sense of diversity and a pretty accurate representation of todays style in psytrance repertoire. A couple tracks weren't up my alley, mostly because of the style rather than their inherit quality. Biased or not, it's definitely worth downloading and checking it out. I personally think tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 were all VERY good.

*nods head*

Absolutely a fantastic presentation of a new more psychedelic type goa. The sounds can be fluffy but the melodies and atmosphere lean darker, trippier. And the melodies, oh man the melodies, theyre SO good. That Amplidude climax, pleiadian stuff, anyone? But you could have gone even further! And then the groove that especially Spiritual War has, I love that! The suggestions I can give are the progression and pace get to be a little on the repetitious side. You have all these great elements but the tracks lack some of that story. The complexities of the melodies and ideas get lost in the simplicity of the over-arcing structure if that makes any sense. Regardless, I loved this EP and it's unique take on modern goa. Keep at it, guys!!! Also on a side note the powerful acid lines could have more contrast to the other layers(?).
