Old school albums that could use a Remaster
the goa constrictor replied to Penzoline's topic in General Psytrance
The original version of UX - Ultimate Experience is killer. Some of Ott's earlier engineering work. The remaster is ass. -
I'm just now seeing this thread. Wish I could hear what the track was. I might be able to help

Hearing a sample during a movie
the goa constrictor replied to Penzoline's topic in General Psytrance
I remember the one and only time I read a sample. I have an idea of where the sample came from, but it was still kind of an interesting one-off event for me. I was reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in 1997 before the movie came out. Space Tribe's Ultraviolet Catastrophe had just come out and, to my mind, it was some epic shit. I had listened to Know Your Dope Fiend many times at this point, when all of the sudden I started reading "KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim...." I was like "woah!" I know that speech. Sweet Then a year later, the movie came out and that part was in it. I always thought it was kind of cool that Oli sampled that snippet (I'm assuming either from an audio book or from the actual audio recording of that speech) before the movie broke. That's kind of the one time I read a sample from a Goa track... -
Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of interview one of the original legends of the Psychedelic Goa Trance community, Mark Allen. From the Return to the Source parties and compilations to his music as part of the group Quirk; Mark Allen is a man in a league of his own. Follow the link to read what was shared...

It's Spectral not Spectral Alchemy And they are awesome, had a couple other singles, and a real fantastic album called 'Diffuse' And Rhythmystec is Masaray and Snake Thing. They may not have done much else together, but they both had many hits. Infected Deedrah would be a one-hit-wonder by this definition, but I don't really think that is what you're searching for.

I wouldn't really call them a one hit wonder. I have all 8 of their tracks and they are all great. Also, Satori is simply Process (Sean Williams) and Slide (Pete Martin)

What happened to Sean Williams aka Process
the goa constrictor replied to GagaISM's topic in General Psytrance
He is/runs Artifact I didn't know they were still putting stuff out. The Mystery School Ensemble is a project of Drezz (Nervasystem) and Sean did some stuff on some of the tracks too. Great stuff. Definitely not psytrance.- 24 replies

Hello, While I enjoy DJing and sharing Goa Trance music, I've never been one to write Goa Trance I write music that I call Nu Grebo (a modern take on Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, mixed with some Ween, Mogwai, and NIN) My new album is out now. Feel free to give it a listen. And feel free to remix it too Fried Kale The Somnambulating Schematic of the Obstreperous Listen for free: https://soundcloud.com/friedkale Purchase and support: http://friedkale.bandcamp.com/

What happened to Sean Williams aka Process
the goa constrictor replied to GagaISM's topic in General Psytrance
Yeah, he's into sound collages and direct recordings with interesting hardware and microphones. Loves playing with modular gear Is literally a Dr. of audio now, which is very fitting for the man. He was definitely one of the roots and reasons I feel in love with this music. His early work as Satori with Pete Martin was one of my first 12" loves. His live set was one of the best live shows I have ever witnessed too- 24 replies

If the quality is anything like the Nervasystem shirt, the art is as clear as smeared toothpaste and it's cut for a stubby barrel.... Good comp though.

Oddvod greets Seb Taylor, 17.05.2014, Zagreb, Croatia
the goa constrictor replied to Stevo's topic in Party Announcement
Seb and Natasha are such great human beings. They are both so genuinely caring and nice and both seemed real humble and down to earth to me. Seb's music as Shakta, Digitalis, Hibernation, Kaya Project, 8-Ball, and Foxglove are all so awesome. Too bad that last Shakta album never got released. I wonder if he'll ever release the music from it, or if he still writes new psytrance music. -

Isn´t Art of Trance just beautiful?
the goa constrictor replied to radi6404's topic in General Psytrance
Yeah, my guess is that Claudio n Simon had a falling out (likely over money/royalties) and Claudio didn't want to work on the project with him. -

Isn´t Art of Trance just beautiful?

I'm pretty sure that I've explained the problem with the new Union Jack in other threads, but I'm gonna explain this again. It's fairly obvious once laid out: Platipus Records is owned by Simon Berry Art of Trance is Simon Berry Simon Berry also collaborated with many different artists from the label too. Terra Ferma is Claudio Giussani Union Jack is a collaboration between Claudio Giussani and Simon Berry P.O.B. is a solo project by Paul Brogden Clanger is a collaboration between Paul Brogden and Simon Berry So this is where it gets frustrating to me as a follower of this label for just about 20 years, the name Union Jack has weight and merit. They earned all of the respect and love that people have for them. Union Jack is Claudio and Simon. The new "union jack" is actually Clanger. If Simon actually wanted you to be objective about the music and judge it on its own strength and merit, he would trust that giving it a new name, or simply making it a new Clanger album, would have garnered the same results. Simon is obviously trying to sell a few extra albums by using the Union Jack name. I like POB and Clanger a lot. I really enjoyed those releases and even considered trying to book POB for a party around 2000/2001 out here. So I have no problem with Paul and Simon kicking ass and writing killer music together. I just find it curious that they decided to give it the name of (arguably) the label's biggest name. Art of Trance was good n all, but Union Jack was easily the defining artist back in the day. Robert Miles bailed and shit like "Calling your Name" found some success, but Union Jack is legend. They are Union Jack. Simon knew what he was doing by releasing the new release under that name. It definitely got more attention than it would have if it was named something else. I just find it kind of lame and cheap. -
Thanks for making digital downloads available! =) threadjack I started off with vinyl and, to me, CDs were never more than a necessary means-to-an-end stopgap between vinyl and the current digital world of Traktor, Ableton, and Serato. CDs were never collector items or old school. I'm real excited for the new Nervasystem 12" and I really hope it gets funded. /threadjack Thanks again for putting out great music and engaging in dialog with your listeners =)
