Oh my lawrd it was cool

I believe this will be distributed to Psyshop, Beatspace and Saikosounds when the arabesque Distribution release date hits. This is seriously an excellent release, I had my doubts as per usual - "Remix album? Those are never very good.", but it ended up being great. http://www.arabesquedistribution.com//index.php?option=com_artistavenue&task=singleCd&id=2662&Itemid=99999999 Release Date: 2011-09-09

I'm so happy I subscribed to Draeke's channel on youtube

I wonder why didn't they just use the TIP shiva head..

Forgot to post this bulk from saiko

They've actually used Full-on A TON in GSL this season. Even in the finals! Don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing. Really? I thought they had other style tracks there too. I guess I'll check it out.

Jikooha – Pure Deliverance 8:57 "This is the first chapter of the upcoming Dimensional Galaxy series." Dimensional record's first proper lone release. Some of you found out about this label when Chakras posted about how Kagdila screwed him and the artists over. You can read about it here http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/60492-kagdila-yet-another-money-grab/ / http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/223968 . TL;DR, don't buy the Kagdila versions of Dimensional's releases (Liquid Flow, Goasia, Pure Planet 4), it won't support anyone but Kagdilas owner, Mr Shuki, who has a history of betraying and screwing over people. Now we have that off the way, we have a release that looks quite promising, it has known goatrance artists and one new one, a solid list just in names. The promotional text promises a journey through uncharted space. The cover alone says enough, but will it succeed? Samples: http://www.saikosounds.com/english/show_label.asp?label_id=1272 E-Mantra – Soul Searcher E-Mantra kicks off with a track that sounds like it could have been from Arcana, but with improvements, namely it doesn't get redundant at any point. There are changes, twists throughout with a really soft progressive feel. Drenching acid is ever apparent, it is being manipulated like mad, bringing a cool mechanic feel out of it. Towards the end there are E-Mantra's signature emotional uplifting moments. Wonder how would normal trance made by him sound. Not much to say than a really great start for this comp! Ajna – Steps To Heaven Ajna, ajna, ajna. First discovered in Opus Iridium with The Art Of Happiness, at first seemed like brilliance, but later found the track quite immature. Later on heard some other tracks and wasn't impressed, constantly got the feeling of boredom. It simply might be a taste thing, since many praise his tracks, but I just have not been able to really enjoy much of his productions. This track does start with an epic intro, really huge noisy beautiful soundscape. The bassline kicks in and it already sounds like Ajna. Some superB acids breach the track and then the melodies ensue. Now this is where I just feel like my grip gets lost with this track. The melodies are just boring, they're really, really fluffy, stoic, uninspiring. They just go on and on. It could be just the fact the artist wants the same effect as Ethereal, as that artist also just relies on really progressive feel and the melody just goes forever and ever. Ethereal does it differently, though and it works with their style. There are a couple of moments where the track gets my interest again, such as 4:37 and onwards where another melody comes and it does a bit of experimenting until a break at 6:10. After that comes a climax that is actually pretty good, it definitely holds up energy and unleashes it well, but loses it's power rather quickly. Towards the very end there is also a bit of change at 9:10 which I like. Aside from those mentioned moments the track just does nothing for me. It's obvious the artist is getting better, especially production-wise, but the style is just the same as before and I don't really like it. Goasia – Solar Storm Goasia! The main reason I got this comp were the two new tracks from them. From the very beginning the sound is really typical Goasia so if you've heard them before and already have an opinion on their sound, you won't be surprised at all. For me, I love this sound, it is exciting and incredibly oriental. Bassline thumps onwards whilst interesting effects and melodies layer the track until the main hook at 2:12. Really uplifting, beautiful ethnic melodies. I can already imagine the beautiful beaches and palm trees in sunset. 3:32 the melody just reeks of soft beauty of this realm. Ahh. There are very cool changes towards the end, but remaining predictable. Great track, I feel like I just cannot get over the Goasia sound. I hope one day they fill a full ~8 minute track with melody work in the sense of almost Sky Technology, that it would have loads of these melodies, but be melancholic. Would be interesting to say the least! Filteria – The Big Blue (Live Version) The Big Blue, well, I liked it back when Daze was released, nowadays I don't so much. The track grew out of me pretty hard. There is a sense of emotion in the melodies that comes off to me as almost cheesy, not quite, but very close. This track has the same principle of the original mix, but it adds many different, fun segments. At times the melody even feels like from the Sky Input era with it's tweaking but other than that I don't find it that exciting, it feels like it's holding back at every single turn. That coupled with the fact I've grown out of the original track. Not impressed. Not impressed at all. Hypnagogia – Secrets Of The Mind Well this is a new one. Never heard of Hypnagogia before. Really wonderful intro with a bit of MFG Project Genesis feeling. Dark brooding sci-fi tone. The song evolves into quite a typical neogoa track that is heavy on acidic sounds and a bit of an uplifting floating tone, but it is not boring even though it might seem, as it does what it does really well. Really strong, driving melody work. The ending could have been a bit more exciting, but a well made track nonetheless. Solid! Also special mention to the hi-hats, I love em'. Liquid Flow – Land Of Time A new one from Liquid Flow? He's had a ton of compilation releases, an EP and also an album. I already wrote my thoughts about the album and the complaints included the repetitious sound. Whilst alone the tracks are solid party tracks with really good production that is a bit like Artifact303 (And lets not get into who was first since both of them had their first release on the same compilation!) with the strong amount of acid and near-perfect smooth sound tonality, but in an album experience the sound gets very repetitious as everything follows the same path. It gets tiresome to listen to. This track is not exactly like what has been heard before. The production seems more stable, serious and dark from his previous efforts. There are also trancy moments which I whole-heartedly enjoy as it works incredibly well with this style. Otherwise just bubbling acid, drenched synths and smooth passages take the ride through wherever you feel is beautiful and calm. This could potentially be his best track to date, but I'll let it grow on me a bit before I jump to that conclusion. It is not very surprising overall, but it does everything so very well you can't really complain. Good track! Goasia – Zero Gravity Hell yes! Fantastic sounds and atmosphere is greeted from the start. A huge pumping masterful bassline kicks things going. Goasia-signature oriental melodies arrive and are already driving the listener into a journey. The tempo is frantic, uplifting. Details float on and about. Groovy melodies. A climaxed break and then just joyful moments keep on coming at you endlessly. Small break at 4:11 calming things down. Glooming atmospheric spacey pads taking you faster and faster. The melodies keep being groovy as hell and at 6:50 such twists! An explosion of melodies that climaxes three times! Calmer ride towards end. Fantastic! Shakta – Planet To Planet This is the other reason I got this comp, Seb Taylor is back folks! Mr Shakta brings us another new tune anno 2011, who would have expected? The last one was 3 long years ago but I guess he just does it whenever he feels like it. Though maybe it's a good time to make a new album? Maybe? Please? This track sounds like, well, Shakta, though more in the style like Ten Times Around The Sun on Opus Iridium. Goa bassline that you don't really pay attention other than sub-conciously and dark riveting growly hook is ever present, creating a superbly groovy and hypnotic soundscape. Wonderfully picked details enrich the feeling. Oriental shakta-melody appears a couple of times and the ending feels very satisfactory. Seb hasn't lost it, though it is not exactly like old Shakta. Sounds just like Ten Times Around The Sun style, but it is still far more reminiscent of the old era than anything else. The subtle hypnotism it conveys is sorely lacking in this scene. Jikooha – Pure Deliverance Jikooha is an artist that I consider very different from other goa artist today. They can create explosive journeys like Bay Hall Magic and good atmosphere like in Read Road, but what sets them apart from others, they usually have a really authentic space atmosphere feeling, but I find them somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes they sound good and other times they sound just off-key with some of their effects and melodies and I feel this is majorly the case here. The melodies just overlap in this track. The main melody is not bad at all as it's very Man With No Name esque and tries to be very epic and huge, but the layers simply don't flow. It sounds weird in my ears, like it's trying too much. To give the idea, even with their album Revolution Spaceships ups and downs, everything there was better than this track. Odd. There we go, the first fully fledged Dimensional release. It wasn't all that spacey overall, only 3 tracks really made me feel spaced out, but it didn't matter to me none. My personal expectations were pretty much met, and those weren't too much aside from Shakta and Goasia and they delivered. Three disappointing tracks, two very solid and four good/great one's. I don't think it'll be a classic of any sorts, but a solid release nonetheless. I'd say it's worth checking out even if just for the interesting Shakta comeback track(#2) and the Goasia inputs. Though if you've lost interest to the floaty and fluffy goatrance, you won't find anything revolutionary here and are probably better off looking forward to other releases. To note, soundwise this recording is great! It's well mastered, I have no complaints.

Ordered already. Well I never doubted that, but the point was that how come Seb wanted to make a new track again? Last time he just felt nostalgic after a party and when Mars asked he agreed to make a new track.

Nice man, the 3D tip and blue planet look better than I imagined. Have to get those one day.

I've listened a bit over half of the CD now, now THAT is some good DnB. Awesome as hell chill atmospheres.

He is but not 5 years much

Wow would you look at that..

Yeah I think all of that info was on the last newsletter and on the suntrip site. The first place it'll appear is on the arabesque page http://www.arabesquedistribution.com//index.php?option=com_artistavenue&task=releaseSchedule

Oh right, well I'll just use that then lol. I'm gonna add it later to discogs. There are differences and variations in the DVD. I.e. a2 (a1 is not..) - a29 are variations where j1 - j4 are variations of a different thing. CD is just variations of one thing. This is a musical masterpiece, exploring what you can do with one composition multiple times. I have no idea what genre this is. Maybe it should be called Hyenrro for good measure? I don't know. Seriously, though, it's pretty lulzy with no mastering, but I'm not going to lie, there are actually moments with cool harmonies and melodies. If you're familiar with NHJO's revolutionary style, you aren't going to be surprised. And for long time followers you can actually hear he's gotten better. I'll probably upload the best one's for youtube to give the taste. His new traXXX on youtube I don't know if you noticed but the paper cutouts aren't exact, the thing came exactly like it shows on 4th picture except the green cd was on top. By the way does anyone have a clue where this "pavel = nhjo hyenrro" came from? From what I can tell NHJO is completely real. I mean who would make 500+(more like 1000+) tracks like these just to troll?

Wow I never knew of that. Now that I think about it, I never knew anything about cameras, I just assumed crappy ones are, well, crappy and that there's nothing you can do about it - Hence I didn't research it. Thanks a bunch. And TY, I only chose best looking ones, there's also Crop Circles - Lunar Civilizations under UX.

I got the CD of Fusion for a bargain price on ebay! Good job!

Here's what most of it currently looks like ofc without the lamp, the camera's just too shit that if it moves even a single bit without some lighting, the image goes 100% out of focus.

18 USD, when you click on the paypal link on his site it takes you to the payment page on paypal directly. His email was 100% verified so this was foolproof if I never received anything. You think I should put this on discogs? It basically is "artist self-released CD-R/DVD-R" I guarantee you I'm not. He explained it was a typo in his birthday topic, the paypal link is 15 usd + 3 usd shipping. The CD had 17 songs and the DVD had 142 songs and some VST plugins or something lol, I don't know if you could be able to. Paypal payment so he got the address from there.

Nice stuff!

I ain't kidding http://www.nhjohyennro.com/mycd.htm

Interesting! Thanks for posting.

Greets for bumping, maybe someone can find em.
