Dancing Galaxy - simple and effective.

There is a lot of great nitzho music around, saying the whole sub-genre is 'the worst' is ridicilous.

Some people consider us highly professional, but believe me, behind the curtain we're just kids who like to play and enjoy in what we're doing. Working with Kristijan (Lunar Dawn) was sucha nightmare, seriously, I never met a person who made me laugh so much in my life, especially when we discussed 'serious' album stuff like artwork, track names, melodies, vocals. There were so much inside jokes from both sides that one day we might collect them and post it somewhere (even tho it's almost impossible to a foreign person to understand or even translate our obscure and non-standardized Croatian/Bosnian terminology from rural parts, it would probably sound like weird orcish grumble). The best times happened when Saša (always sleepy part of Lunar Dawn) and Mirza (Arronax) would join the conversation and discussion, at some part we're discussing the music from the album, after 5 or 6 minutes, we're deeply and seriously into Bosnian cuisine, trying to find common opinion and agreement about certain dish. Or even better was situation when we started with artwork concept and I had to forward to Arkadii some examples and sketch for the artwork so ha can work on the illustration. Since I was in charge of that I had to draw some elements and send it over, and the most problematic part was that I draw things like 6-y old kid, or even worse. Thank god, Arkadiy used his talent and magic and turned Kolovrat concept into the beautiful and vivid piece of artwork. In case, you like innocent, ugly things, here is the original concept. You have been warned. Anyway, I hope Kolovrat will reflect our good times, funny moments and positive feelings which we had during the last two and half years and become and bring the small part of that positive mood in your lives aswell, because there is a certain honesty in it. I just wanted to thank you all for warm and honest feedbacks in so little time, they mean so much to us and I wanted to thank Lunar Dawn and everybody involved into this album for a wonderful adventure, especially to Kristijan, a guy who brough so much joy, humbleness and positive things into my life and into Neogoa, you're not just an artist, you're a true friend and I thank you for that!

I hope it's you Kristijan since you always got some requests...unlike Saša. Why don't you never ask me to drink your beer or something like that?

Lovely release, Tomislav has been improving his sound and production since the Inner Polarity so much that he is probably one of the most recognizable artists here on Balkans, this release is just a testament of his skill and vision. Remixes are just great, a fine selection of remixers who fulfilled the tasks in an unique way. Artwork also looks great, nice tones and cute drawing. Kudos to all involved!

Zazen sounds great. Brings great memories of Metapsychic Records and their releases. Well done Matsumi and Jim

Thank you! For me, The Gate is just perfect for parties in deep forests, especially before the dawn.

Already great line-up!

Artwork is very nice!

They had some minor redesign recently and when I tried to edit some tracks, they noticed it's unavailable to edit, probably that's why the upload option might not work properly atm.

Album has been uploaded to the Psychedelic Muse YouTube channel for streaming. Expect it tomorrow at Ektoplazm for free download. Here are couple of tracks from the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X05C2rTsILE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqlT82Z2LNc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL1DvCxc69g

I don't like the phrase killlarghhh...but this is KILLLLARGGHHHH! Bring it on Sita and Dmitriy!

Goa Madness did great job with this compilation, a lot of great tracks featured on single release by some of the most exciting newschool Goa trance artists. I can't say which one is my favorite since all tracks got something special, but if I can choose some of them based on my mood right now, than probably GoaTree, Trinodia, Proxeeus and M-Run are on the top, but I'm really enjoying the whole thing. Great work guys and I'm looking forward to your next compilation, this one was a fine example how to make balance between a Goa trance with more serious-tone and morning oriented melodic stuff, transition was flawless

BlackStarrFinale

Music is great, I can't argue about that since I'm sucker for anything he does and this is much better than alot of his earlier side-projects.

I really liked this one. Great track selection and beautiful artwork!

This year he will publish two albums (on Timewarp and Neogoa). Pity we won't have the opportunity to see him live at Timewarp vs Neogoa label party next month in Zagreb.

Thank you so much for your reviews and general feedback for the World Beyond. I can't express how much they mean to artists and to our community. All these comments from Psynews, Ektoplazm and Facebook are giving us the fuel for our passion, a sort of positive impulse to push even harder and better, to continue our mission of goa trance liberation.

Nice stuff Filipe!

Risk Is My Business...And Business Is Risky Good thing I decided not to use the Glagolitic alphabet for the Kolovrat artwork, since it might be too confusing to some people to read and translate it On the other hand, greek alphabet letters got shape and look which is similar to latin letters and from the visual side of things it's always interesting to a designer (such as me), but I understand your remark and the fact that people who are using it on daily basis might find it confusing (you posted very good example). Don't worry, it's concept art as I said and the final versions will look different, so no one should be confused Speaking about horned helments (you pointed that one with good intention, just like I did), personally I'm spending a lot of my freetime (as much as I can) researching and reading old-Norse sagas trying to understand better and get the feeling for the certain area, mindset and customs. For sure we will dedicate one compilation project sometime in the future trying to cover as best as we can and know the language, mythology and overall nordic culture, so trying to find inspiration in these wonderful sagas was a logical thing for me to do in the start of creative process for the compilation in the future, but it's not easy at all and it will require a lot of time (for sure more than year and half) to do it properly. I would be happy if we succeed to cover 10% of details which projects (such as Árstíðir Lífsins) did on their conceptual Vápna Lækjar Eldr record, but it's almost an impossible task to do, but at least we will try and give our best to connect the music with the theme/story well. Many musicians, projects and bands which I found interesting did similar thing, through music and good background conecpt and story they invested me into wonderful learning process of other cultures their customs and language and just the fact that you can find out a lot of interesting and inspirational things through music and learn about them is something I highly appreciate. Thank you for pointing out these things, they help me/us to better understand our work and to focus more on the presentation. We love you and we appriciate you because of that P.S. - What happened with randez-vous with Mage-script, was it too easy?

Good thing I decided not to use the Glagolitic alphabet for the Kolovrat artwork.
