Well sure. But Erez is classically trained (if memory serves) and that was kind of the point of Classical Mushroom. He really does have the chops and plays those melodies. They just sound better removed from garbage that clutters up the rest of their music.

Yeah, Erez is a great pianist. I might not like what they do with his skills, but he has mad skills

I'm not saying that one should not reach for their dreams I'm stating that this realm has a bit of pre-colored pallet and to keep that in consideration as one lays out their longterm plans. Artists want their music heard People also like being able to pay rent Be chill and deliver and few products and items will move a bit more easily as the catalog grows. But, if you run into hesitation, don't take it personally. There are a couple of decades of history rolling below the surface and skepticism is built in now. Which is good

Mind Rewind is definitely due to the charities and contracts signed with the artists. They can't just keep selling indefinitely That said, bear in mind, with all of this, that Drezz tried crowdfunding a 12" and got a paltry buy-in from people and it went unfunded. The demand just really isn't there. It's an expensive process to master for vinyl, press vinyl, and then ship vinyl. Also, remember that this scene is littered with wasted burnouts and people with shit fiscal skills. Many artists have been burned by various promoters and many now hold a bit of skepticism towards various realms of things involving money. You might find a little hesitation from artists until you have a couple of successful pressings and campaigns. Best of luck!

I know what my dream is!

Netflix has two new shows that are quite good: Stranger Things The Get Down

Summer's almost over! Where are the Doof shirts at?!??! ;-)

This album is great start to finish. Much like Mama Matrix Most Mysterious, this is an album journey with different themes and stories within. Short, slow, long, fast, breaks, deep, glitched, trance that's extremely psychedelic Good one Drezz =)

Disk arrived in the mail! =) This album is much kickass

fuck yes. Empirion is some fantastic stuff

this is the strangest bot / thread. thirty months of a bot talking to itself periodically. so odd, yet I'm thankful that the mods are leaving this here

*raises hand* --> although I was blessed with much good music throughout the 2000s up until a few years ago when the Suomi and much of the Aussie scene slowed to a crawl. Still a few releases here and there, but for the most part, it appears spent. Can't blame them, it sounds like many of the labels had low sales. Psy-Harmonics, Freakdance, Exogenic, Devic Craft, Demon Tea, Edgecore, Faerie Dragon, 6D Soundz, Space Boogie, Surreal Audio, Karelia So many quality releases throughout the 2000s, I was a very happy camper. As those labels started to die off, in addition to the losses of the the Goa greats and more minimal second wave, I quite often feel that there isn't much to listen to these days. There are certainly some great releases that slip through, but overall, the music that made my soul bounce has slipped away... (editor's note: I'm not really grumpy. I'm very thankful that I was able to experience what I did and when I did. That was all pure magic and it changed my life)

Woohoo! Just bought on Bandcamp Looking forward to the disc arriving, but will fulfill myself with the FLACs while I wait =)

I think I remember that guy from the old goa@party.net mailing list. He was nice. Good music

Technically, none of the bad tracks in this thread are "goa" as there is no such thing as "bad goa"

Too far ahead of its time and the curve Was too "out there" and landlocked to Australia Travel out of Australia is $$$ and I'm sure it wasn't easy to get gigs Just a guess though

Edgecore and that comp Edges R Fun are soooooo good! That Mass track Swinessa's Dead is just topnotch shit.

#BLM is a very important movement. They are not dangerous. Statistically, white christian males cause more violence and more crime than people of color. #BLM will never be too big, as to be too big would mean that systemic and institutionalized racism is no longer a thing. I do not feel that this will happen during my lifetime. #BlackLivesMatters should have everyone's support

like Drumpf?

Yeah, there's an entire Japanese contingent that is quirky and not serious: Masa Ree.k Ubar Tmar Sci Forest If we're excluding Finnish, are we excluding Australia too? Rip Van Hippy Shaolin Wooden Men Lumukanda The Visitors

Deadmau5 DJs goa trance now? crazy
