Negans - Danse Macabre (Neogoa Records)
Richpa replied to Neogoa's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Funny thing, when I discussed with Elie his music, he told me that he has been very much influenced by the early works of Xenomorph. You're right, it doesn't sound like it, but still it brings much needed darker and experimental vibe into nowdays Goa music without trying to sound agressive or too fast. @Void Mantra - Thanks, glad you're enjoying this release!- 21 replies

We never said it will be 1 CD release So don't have worries, as I pointed out, the new album will include finest Lazarus material plus the new music that will be exclusive on CD release with long enough pre-order period so all people who might be interested to get this one will have an equal chance.

I can't share the tracklist yet, but be sure that the best moments of Lazarus release will be included on the new album, so consider The Realm Of A New Dawn to be ultimate Ultimate Xperience release. More about it in the official topic when we gonna have more details to share.

Negans - Danse Macabre (Neogoa Records)
Richpa replied to Neogoa's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
This weekend I'm getting this one ready for Bandcamp and for Ektoplazm release. I'm sure it will come out on Bandcamp first since we have to release Ultimate Xperience's 'Lazarus' on Ektoplazm first, but no big difference, high-quality download will be available with full artwork on Bandcamp.- 21 replies

We're slowly getting ready to the finalization of the album. I can't confirm date yet, but we have artwork ready and soon I hope we will start the mastering for the 'new' tracks. It will include material from Lazarus, but not the complete Lazarus.

Ticon - Mirage (Iboga Records) - new album!
Richpa replied to sidetrakkt's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Oh boy, new Ticon is here and it sounds amazing! -
It has been on repeat for a while now, one of the best metal works released this year.
-
Since you already mentioned amazing Multimoods by Tandu, here is another classic by Ofer Tigth, groovy, goastic and psychedelic enough to work like a charm on any floor

That looks really nice. +1 for IGG

Negans - Danse Macabre (Neogoa Records)
Richpa replied to Neogoa's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Yeah, I liked it too, not because I dislike when I was young I started to listen.. kind of biographies, but because it actually resonates with music very well. Speaking about the music, I can confirm that he will appear on Dimensional Gateway release in February with really interesting track- 21 replies

Artha - Dream Telepathy
Richpa replied to Starkraver's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Playlist and tracks can be shared both ways, so having few tracks under one root playlist is actually good idea by Patrick! P.S. - tracklist, links and artwork added in review -
Get this eco-friendly beast Anu hehe

Artha - Dream Telepathy
Richpa replied to Starkraver's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Okay, if we're gonna take the nitpicking route, than I'll play along. Release has been annouced 5 months ago officialy, and probably few years prior to that was discussed here and on other social networks as something that might happen. So, you got situation where you don't have any samples but people are excited and curious to hear it. Now, someone gets the permission from the label itself and posts positive review regarding the release, without breaking any rule or making a bad image about the release and you're complaining. As I said, I get a lot of unreleased music and I rarely post reviews or make promotion to other releases, just in case when I find something really great. By that I'm giving my best to spread the good word about the music and hopefully from my side make people more interested into certain release. Now, when I explained that I hope you understand my point of view. Also, if I may add (from label perspective of view) - every review is much welcomed, it's not rare situation to see labels directly asking for the reviews and getting people involved into certain release, especially on Psynews. If someone is interested in the release he will keep his eye on the official topic/review/label or artist social channels, etc. And one question to you: are you seriously think that I'm gonna be the only reviewer for new Artha album? -
Artha - Dream Telepathy
Richpa replied to Starkraver's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Guys relax, it's great album and I posted my personal opinion and pointed out the things that I liked. After all, in entertainment any big project gets early reviews and in my defence the music that has been reviewed earlier by our label recieved a lot more attention so I honestly think that positive review won't hurt anyone. Also, I don't make a lot of reviews, especially because I don't have that much time, but truth to be told, when I recieve something really great (and If label is okay with it) I post it. Last time I did it for Goasia album, and believe it or not I get a lot of new music from other labels before it get's out and it's something normal - artists, labels exchange material and care about the opinion and it only means that scene is getting better by that. If someone doesn't want to know anything about the album, he doesn't have to check review or click on the topic, he doesn't have to check samples and it's simple, I don't see why suddenly an exclusive review for one of the artists that I really like a lot is bothering you so much, but on the other hand you're asking for more reviews. Make up your mind @Starkraver - tracklist, artwork and links will be added in review when label announces it on it's official channels -
Ultimate Artha collection, that would be amazing idea!

Artha - Dream Telepathy
Richpa replied to Starkraver's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Review is up here: https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/72483-artha-dream-telepathy-cronomi-records/ Thanks for sending me FLAC files for the album -
Tracklist: 01 - A Way To Regret 02 - Monkeys (Extended Remix) 03 - Theory Of The Ghost 04 - El.Es.Di 05 - Mahabaratha (Live Version) 06 - Dream Telepathy 07 - Secret Trip 08 - Flutes The long awaited new Artha album – Dream Telepathy is almost here (at least I can enjoy it before it’s officialy released by Cronomi Records since I recieved the FLAC files thanks to Ward and kind folks at Cronomi Records, so I feel obligated to throw out few honest words about this one. It’s not a secret I’ve been a huge fan of this kind of Goa trance music for a while and Artha is one of the artists that I always play and enjoy. Even the promotion has been a little bit obscure (especially because we’re dealing here with one of the most creative and innovative Goa trance producers in last decade), all true Goa-heads who are into this so-called new breed Goa-wormhole for more than few years, are familiar with the fact that Michał Bączek is making his second full-lenght album, especially after highly respected and acclaimed back-to-back releases – Fluori Dorby and Influencing Dreams (both released on his mother-label Cronomi Records). When it comes to Artha music and sound in general, there is no universal consensus, most of the time, people who are stuck into dreamy (or how I like to call it ‘Astral Projection-influenced‘ Goa, tend to bash or more politley criticise his sound, production or mastering, but still they somehow admire the unique approach and creative input, even it’s not full-blown melodic Goa trance chaos. In simple words, it’s Artha, or to be daringly honest if I may – a totally new level of Hallucinogen, just made in wrong times where the new level of Goa generation tends to forget how much Simon contributed with his solo project. Yes, it’ might be wrong to compare such heavyweight with Artha, but as a reviewer I have to point out that music on Dream Telepathy still sounds innovative, creative and technically almost flawless (and let’s not forget the six year-long gap between this and his last album. That being said, new album ‘Dream Telepathy’ comes with 8 new tracks (excluding the reworked version of legendary Maharabathara track) and over 70 music of trippy, but very likable Goa trance music. On the first listen, sound geeks might notice that audio-image of this album is slightly different than it’s processor, with more accent on the tiny details, passages in arrangement and FX moments which Dream Telepathy has a lot to offer. A family member of Cronomi crew, Mario, or to some of you better known as M-Run put a lot of effort to make this album sound more organic and less raw / kick-friendly. Still, it has to be previewed on bigger and better PA to understand this improvement a little bit better, but it’s just one of thoose details every fan of good sounding Goa music will know how to appriciate and in my humble opinion Mario did a great job here (but, it’s also a matter of taste and I’m sure many of you will prefer the Colin‘s mastering from the first album). So, the music? It sounds like Artha, perhaps a little bit more minimal with more focus on arrangement/technical parts, but still it doesn’t suffer of being chessy in terms of melody or, God forbid ‘trying so hard’ to sound too Goa with cheap oriental melodies. I’ll tell you a secret – it’s not how Michał or Cronomi roll. However, I feel that at some point, this release feels a bit rushed out, even it has it’s moments of brilliance and uniqueness and tracks such ‘El Es Di’ or ‘Secret Trip’ are proper gems and one of the reasons why this release might end up in all major ‘best of’ selections at the end of the year – when it comes to Goa trance music in 2016. Of course, you can’t except that whole album sounds unique from start to finish, but thoose tiny (as I called it ‘rushed out’) moments won’t spoil your enjoyment and I’m sure many of you are not nit-picking as much as I do. Personally, it’s hard for me to review each track, since all of them got a lot to offer – for example the opening track A Way To Target is already much more interesting than Dubber Nubber from his previous album, the revisited Maharabathara version will make you dance and my personal highlights such as El Es Di (duh, it’s LSD), and Secret Trip will probably please your aural sensors. Also, don’t miss relaxed Flutes (with some nice native Slavic themes appearing there for a breif moment) and technoid Theory Of The Ghost, perfect for all early 2000’s Goa astronauts – thoose tracks will become a true classics in the near future, I’m sure. Conclusion: In the end, Dream Telepathy gives enough of time to rejoice and deep within yourself invoke the feeling that Goa trance music is still alive indeed, without being scared of yet another 2 or 3 years period with mostly ultra melodic Goa music. If it makes sense, Cronomi knows very well how to distract the monopoly of melodic releases on this scene by offering enough of melody on their releases but without taking the fluffy-road. Dream Telepathy will require a lot of listens and patience since it's one of thoose albums where you have to devote a lot of time, but when it sinks in, you will be grateful. Being in the making for last 6 years, Artha and Cronomi will deliver proper Artha sound with couple of new moments of excitment and joy, but make sure to avoid hype, especially after reading this review because sometimes it becomes natural and easy to feel dissapointment with some minor things, even complete picture (or in this case this release) looks and feels good. If you enjoyed the previous Artha music, I'm sure this one will become your 2016 favorite. After this release, we have to give kudos to Michał and growing Polish Goa scene (with PsySutra and JaraLuca already released a bunch of material) Poland is becoming a nice incubator for talented and creative artists with healthy Goa-trance scene. Dream Telepathy also comes with wonderful Psara's artwork desing that once again cleverly avoids Goa clichés and offers interesting visuals and M-Run's gently, but very respectable mastering.
