I have Destination Goa 6 with this awesome track. Yet this is a different track.Which is which?

no

Best psynews fight of 2009! I luv it!!! On topic: Old school, new school, goa or not goa I don't give a shit as long music is good. And I agree that many new school projects sound awesome. But I also agree that something is missing. So here's list of advices-suggestions to any new goa producer. 1.- Goa was never only about happy feelings or positive energy. Anoebis said that Suntrip focus on that (pretty much normal since it calls SUNtrip, so this one doesn't go to Suntrip). Goa was positive, eerie, aggressive, alien-y, crazy. Check out Phreaky-Tornado. Twisted, psychotic, dark and evil. Yet it's Goa! I have listened only ONE new school artist that sounds like that and that's Amanians. 2.- Goa was never only about oriental melodies. Check out Oforia's music. Most of his track have no oriental feeling in them, yet it's Goa. I LOVE oriental non-cheesy melodies, but there's more than that. 3.- New School albums need variety between the songs. One of the things I don't like in many new school albums is that most (or all) of the tracks are sound similar. I mean you can hear the same presets about bass, leads, pads even kicks or hats. Remember Tandu's album? 4.- Not anything has to be floating. And thank God that artists like Filteria or Filippe exist that focus on energy and power. Of course this is kind of subjective since I always found floating Goa pretty boring, but Goa was twisted too. 5.- This one goes to the core Goa-only lovers. Goa needs experimentation. Just because an artist used a 16th-not bassline doesn't mean it's full on. Or because he uses flying fx all over it's darkpsy. Let the music breath. I really believe that many new school artists may be afraid the to use a new, fresh, weird idea in their tracks cause will be the reason of criticism by loyal Goa fans. Let your ideas flow, this is what old school artists did and this is why we love their music. All of these are coming form THE goa lover, with all my respect to everyone.

Who releases this stuff?

Yes and here's is why. The vast majority of the psy producers that use vocals/singing in their work is because they want to reach a more mainstream audience. So normally their music is gonna be cheesy as hell. I would recommend you two tracks by Shift, This Pain and Scorcher which have vocals yet they still have the psy sound in them, but I guess it's not what you're looking for.

Yep, it's more than obvious.

It's good, but kind of incomplete IMO.

+1000

Why do you wanna do that to your ears?

Ordered from beatspace, huh?

Brethren's second album The Price Of Prophecy. Also check out Phatmatix. He's French, but his style is 100% SA. And let's close this reply with the usual way. SA psy for ever!!!!!!

First of all check everything from Timecode, Nexus Media. Next go to other SA labels like MMD or Vision. If you want more melodic style check all the albums by Tickets, Brethren and the last two albums by Slug. For something melodic yet more eerie check both albums by Pitch Hikers. Fore insane, superintense phat psy check the debut album by the gods of psytrance Twisted System. For melody, power, darkness and acid paranoia check everything by Shift, Phyx and the second album by Twisted System. For metalic-psychedelic paranoia check Hiyarant's and Multistate albums. For phatty, phat melodic phatness check Frozen Ghost. For funky yet powerful psy check Xatrik's second album and everything by Zion Linguist. For pure dark SA psy check Xatrik's debut. For funk in da houze psy check Damage. And for all the above check Artifakt.

I know a lot, including the best one.

I love Suntrip but I really believe that they should release more dark, complex and psychedelic goa in the future. Unfortunately it seems that every time someone thinks of new school goa immediately he thinks morning melodic and worst of all Dimension 5 style. We need more complex and psychedelic goa trance, I think we have enough floating goa. IMO of course

the first two are already in my to-buy list. but I'm curious about Yggdrasil.

I only own the first one and it is good. Nothing special though.

Apart from the absolutely beautiful Murya track this is a boring compilation. Sorry Ultimae.

Really? I always found Broken Toy to be a more morning and melodic version of Damage, which is pretty logical since he was a member of Damage.

You mean the same style or the same guy? Either way no.

Ok, here is my best of the best from the SA style. And only the darker/twilight stuff. Shift-Excession Shift-Alternator Artifakt-Artifakts II Artifakt-The Magus Twisted System-The Dealers Twisted System-Core Brethren-The Price Of Prophecy (Their first album Legend Of Cane is even better, but not that dark IMO) Frozen Ghost-Edible Technique (I hesitated to put this in this darkpsy list since it has a weird humour, but it has a darker edge too) Xatrik-Project A (not the best, but the darkest SA release ever, so it deserves to be here) Pitch Hikers-Twilight Zone (you can add their second album Sting too) V/A - Midnight Storm V/A - Midnight Storm III V/A - New Blood V/A - Retrospective Vol.1 V/A - The Turning

That's amazing!

All the above recommendations plus Hired Goonz tracks.

Try Cosmo-Akustical Pollution. As face melting as it gets.

Try the new Vishnudata.

It's forest for sure. Different style of course, but still forest (for me at least )
