It's hard to tell, all mentioned tracks so far are some sort of classics, however the more I think about it, more I'm sure that I don't actually have opinion about the most famous Goa trance track. Probably I would say Mahadeva since it's the most recognizable from all of them.

Perpetuum Mobile will be available on Ektoplazm on March 10th. You can stream complete album on YouTube, featuring the fastest track released on Neogoa so far: But to get a better perspective of this record, I would like to recommend something more sublime:

Nice one, however, I still think Filosofem to be class on it's own when it comes to Varg's music. http://youtu.be/e-ZVkESecXk?t=7m34s

Complete EP can be streamed via YouTube, thanks to The Psychedelic Muse. Solar Journey will be available for free download at Ektoplazm on March 15th

Appologies, samples for full-release, because yesterday I posted only previews for 3 tracks Good eye btw.

Full samples now can be found in first post, or just hit our Soundcloud to find them there: https://soundcloud.com/neogoa

Full tracklist, artwork and credits updated in first post!

You're right. Each symbol represent one chapter/track on the compilation, but not the artist First symbol I'm calling it Trident. It appeared only on Dimensional Gateway 3 compilation, on front arwork in two parts, in the inside artwork it was like this. It stands for The Vision. After 3rd Gateway, where listener reached monolith, he had to unlock the gateway and pass through, to master the ability of controlling the time, so he can look for answers. Second symbol: I'm calling it Celestial Trinity. It appeared on Celestial Transvibrations compilation only and it stands for experience. This symbol is very common and the triangle itself is very powerful shape. As a symbol related to Neogoa and this compilation it serves as an direct-upgrade to the ability of mastering the time. You can't master the time if you're unexperienced, to reach certain level of experience you have to vibrate. Celestial Transvibrations goes back in time - oldschool Goa and revokes the experience, it vibrates through time. After you get experience / being able to manipulate time itself, you have to try to become an eternal. Third symbol: I'm calling it 'The Moon and The Mountain'. This is the only symbol which didn't appear on any compilation and it represents Neogoa as a whole (that's why Im using it as a logo). Human-form mountain is Neogoa and the keeper is audience. For The World Beyond concept, this marks the point where listener will pass the test and continue the journey (to enter the gate) or he will fail. That's up to listener I guess. The moon (over the mountain) represents the vibe and night itself, since music is dark and night-oriented. Fourth symbol: I'm calling it The Eye. it appeared on our first release - Dimensional Gateway. The meaning of this is interesting: take time, experience, ability to understand (enter the gate) and you will easily figure out that only music is eternal - and human can't become eternal, his soul (music) will become eternal. Same music made by star-eaters (artists who don't need names for this, music is the name). When you feel that, you will figure out that we're same whole the time, since the first release to the most recent. That is our sphere (our world) and we love it. Now, when we concluded that symbols doesn't have anything with artists, let's see how fast you'll figure out who are collaborators. To give you a hint, to figure out that one, you will need only inlay artworks, not front, alongside with backside of The World Beyond. I hope you like translating stuff ) As a bonus, here is the wallpaper

Not sure is this on-topic, but I'll throw this one anyway: After 11th minute it kicks off properly. I had some of the best experiences on this track, even it's not made as something psychedelic, I consider it to be highly psychedelic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhkpCjmXHTU Ohh, and lyrics are sweet too.. It’s been a long night... away from it all. The grabbing authority of my peers... The rusty cage that never seems to open... When can I escape? When can I swim to the moon? I’ve heard this expression my entire life... never realized how peaceful a statement it is. I’ve heard this expression my entire life... never realized how peaceful a statement it is. All alone on the worlds waters... here I am. The sun’s slowly drifting past the edge of the world... All alone on the worlds waters... here I am. The sun’s slowly drifting past the edge of the world... I’m the loneliest boat on this entire body of water. Rest will give my awakening purpose... this is why I have come here in the first place. A peace I have never felt... a life I did not want to live. I will awake through sleep... The drifting drifter... look into the picture... No more panic, no more regret. No more hoping for a new mess. Slide into the water. Become one with the sea. Life seems so much smaller. Swim to the moon. I awake with a cool breeze blowing through my dirty hair. Rested, stable... a first. A caffeine junkie’s longest wish: peace and quiet... No wake ups, no expectations... A strange feeling... suddenly drifting... No wake ups, no expectations... A strange feeling... suddenly drifting... This “As Seen on TV” anchor is just another lie, I guess... hoping for something not there. Filling a void that I can’t quite put my finger on. Filling a void. This loneliness I always seek. I’m in the middle of black water. No sign of human life in any direction... The most peaceful event of my life seems to have typically turned into a struggle. I’m in the middle of black water... no sign of human life. Panic takes over my body. Panic takes over my body, over my body. I have indeed floated due to a non-reversible decision to flee. Just for a day I told myself... my survival skills were lost years ago. Here I am: no food, no clean water, and this extremely embarrassing attempt at a “get away outfit”. This is an inevitable death, inevitable death. Slide into the water. Become one with the sea. Life seems so much smaller. Swim to the moon. Look into the picture... Look into the picture... Look into the picture... Look into the picture... This is what I lived to be. This very moment is the first time in my life that I’ve felt pure joy. Slide into the water. Become one with the sea. Life seems so much smaller. Swim to the moon. Slide into the water. Become one with the sea. Life seems so much smaller. Swim to the moon. Slide into the water. Become one with the sea. Life seems so much smaller. Swim to the moon.

Similar thing with Time Warp Records from Germany: http://www.discogs.com/label/49622-Time-Warp, even we got Goa trance label Timewarp, it seems that no one complains.

Samples for 3 tracks added in first post!

First one sounds better, IMO.

Very good, moon over the mountain doesn't represent Lunar Dawn, even their logo got the same moon, at least you have one collaborator unlocked . But to help you out, the first one is also used on our compilations, to be exact it's from the first DG artwork:

Start topic like we Neogoa, Suntrip, Cronomi, DAT got there....Psybient.org News and Updates and post everything there See examples here: https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/67537-suntrip-updates/ https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/59308-neogoa-news-updates/ or just ask some of admin/mod to move this one there

I would really like to see some cool recommendations from the mentioned genres if you got one since I really think that there is plenty of relaxing music that has been around waiting to be discovered. Even I really like psychedelic chillout and Goa ambient, there is some special passion towards the world and ethno music. So, let's have this thread for all the people who share same passion and let's throw some good suggestions. I'll start with the most recent track that I found today: Celestial ethno-ambient masterpiece from my country. Our ancestors called the Orion constellation 'Plug' simply because it visually reminded them on the plow, which got the same meaning even today on Croatian.

Naga has been on my playlist for a looong time, it's cool to see he finally released it, lovely and powerful modern sounding goa trance track.

JaraLuca will release track 'Solaris' (165 BPM) on his debut album on Neogoa very soon. Skip to 07:15 for unmastered preview: https://soundcloud.com/neogoa/jaraluca-perpetuum-mobile

Congrats to winners and thank you all who decided to vote in this poll, it seems that this year response was bigger which is great thing and the results are showing that Psynews is indeed a perfect virtual place for Goa trance lovers. It is also encouraging for Neogoa to see couple of our releases ranking good on the list, we're happy to see that free-Goa trance movement is getting more and more followers and I hope the trend will continue in 2015 aswell. And yeah, thanks Rotwang and Psynews for organizing and counting all the votes

Probably not that much as on Neogoa, but I hope there will be enough of quality music during the whole year, to keep people interested in our work.

Sounds good

Btw, here is one amazing new band from my country, worth checking. Their name is Pogavranjen (The word "pogavranjen" does not exist in the Croatian language. It was made up by the band in a drunken stupor as a way to describe someone who has morphed into a were-raven like creature). Ponoćni Lov means Midnight Hunt First of all, I must admit this was by far one of the most punishing black metal experiences I've had in months. It took me like ten full spins of this album to even begin to fathom what the hell is going on here. And what I have found at the end of this pitch black tunnel of spastic lunacy and crushing hysteria was a well hidden gem of pure bred depression. I am well aware the term itself is more than heavily used to describe plenty of black metal releases of the past decade and rise of the sub genre, but this is a solid level above (below) most of it. Few records had such a firm cold grasp on me lately. The sonic journey itself is divided into five songs that serve as, what I like to believe, 5 stages of sinking to the bottom of the modern cesspool of existence even if I don't understand a word. The feeling of hopelessness is surly the strongest flavor here, with the band trying manically to emphasize it through the entire duration of the album. High or low, fast and slow, it's impossible to shake that feeling off. And it's a very good thing since most of the modern black metal bands leave a rather mild and apathetic aftertaste these days and I'm not feeling like playing an album more than once or twice in general, but this release is far from it. Atmosphere aside, musicianship is at an extremely high point within the borders of the genre, but bear in mind that it goes out of these borders quite frequently yet never losing the bond with the black metal skeleton underneath. It seems that the band really gives every atom of skill to put it all together and to make it work. And it really shows. This album has a huge heart and balls behind it, and not even a single compromise can be heard within a mile around it. Albums like this rarely get popular for the simple reason of being too good for what they are, in this case a bitter statement from anonymous Croatian guys who refused to even sing in English. That fact holds both advantages and disadvantages. Language itself sounds like a cursing or spell chanting in Orcish and it gives a punishing and angry character to the songs, even occult,but at the same time it felt like I'm missing an entire layer of this album's identity. Luckily, it is a minor thing in the whole picture, since there is a plenty of meat left here, lyrics aside. Sound is for the most part very clean and audible, but it does sink from time to time into a murky blur of over saturation. Some might find this a bad thing, others might approve of these moments of dementia very much. The record, being really guitar driven, never fails to deliver, keeping even the longest, repeating parts interesting. Defined and pointed out, chords intertwine with great sense and taste for dissonance, synchronizing harsh distorted rhythm to dripping with reverb lead parts, creating a unique body of strings. The guitar tone remains clean and sharp even at the mellow parts, which can be heard in the epic closing track "Strigoi" which serves as a completely new take on the black metal songwriting formulas. And speaking about formulas, this album is pretty much free of those more and more pop sounding structures that are slowly becoming dominant in the metal world today, keeping itself very distinctive on my favorite genre shelf. What I really like about this record is the thing that it takes bass to a level of presence where it should be - wide and strong, bringing the extra juice and melody. It must have something to do with a guy behind it, since he is the same guy who is also credited as one of three guitar players, main composer and co-producer on this album, who apparently works his way around low end with lot of respect towards it, not only bringing it to the front line with the rest of the instruments, but also keeping it very interesting and again - distinctive. Another strong point about this material is very tasteful synth work which reminds me of Fenriz's Neptune Towers but in a more frantic way. It works as a bonding tissue, opening up entire parts, flooding with suspense, giving them extra depth and space ambiance moods making every song here sound basically otherworldly. The drummer is a beast - to put it mildly. Hard hitting and blasting his way behind the drones, it brings a hyper destructive pulse to the whole picture. Pounds differ in speed, but never in execution. Solid, organic and old school sounding, the drums never cease to keep the entire machine moving ever forward. The intensity of the drumming remains unforgiving even during the ten minutes long blast beat fest of "Jeziva Suša", mesmerizing the listener into a slumber like state. Peak and apex, a jewel in the crown are definitely the vocals. A work of a madman I'm sure. Tortured to a point where I actually felt sorry for the guy who seems to be fucked up beyond repair. Animal howling - check. Disturbed grunts - check. Insane babbling - check. Incoherent screams - check. Schizophrenic murmur - check. Oh and by the way, there is also a vocal guest appearance on the album by some guy who appears to be just as equally ill in the head. I can't really tell them apart, but when spitting words together, the duo sounds like a vortex of voices from hell in a crushing psyche of a madman on acid. The vocals hover at the edge of attention. Sometimes they seem like a throbbing ton of text and sometimes they serve as a deep narrative based below the instrumentals; in both cases they are top class. Unlike any other out there I dare to say. Trance inducing and hypnotic, bizarre in structure, melancholic, angry and most of all insanely depressive, this album will catapult you towards the shores of longing isolation. So if you feel like home there, you will cherish Sebi Jesi Meni Nisi. Hope there will be more from this guys in the future, they might be on the verge of a fresh hell in the stale waters of black metal. -Voidshaper
