T2MU you're a legend. Not only your reviews are ace, not only you're the most productive reviewer in psynews history, but because you're one of the few guys here with superb taste that enjoy twilight psytrance. I think we must updated your status from Family Of Light to Lord Of The Trance.

You may want to change Nova Fractal-Main Sequence Star to Main Sequence Star-WOMFG otherwise it won't count the votes.

This track man. This track... Why can we have music like this anymore?

Is anyone else having trouble playing the Jaraluca track? It keeps loading, but never plays.

What if someone likes only 7 tracks and he thinks the rest are equally bad? We can't force people to vote for tracks they dislike. As for the colours there's only black and red so I don't know what you mean. Will do.

Maelstrom is epic.

Latest update: Thanks to Paul Eye suggestion we made sure that all tracks are unreleased. After some search we spotted a couple of tracks that don't follow this rule. The artists have been informed and their tracks have been removed. However one of the artists Styr0x has not replied back. After carefully listening to both the soundcloud track and the one on bandcamp it appears that it's the exact same track with a slightly longer outro. Therefore the track has been removed. If you're aware of any other tracks that have been officially released, but we missed them please inform us. Rules are rules people! In total there are 41 tracks to vote for.

Ladies and gentlemen the judgment day is upon us! The voting for the 10 winner tracks has officially begun! If you want to participate please read the following FAQ: Q: How long will the voting period last? A: 42 days. Starting right now and ending 31st December 2015 23:59:59 GMT. At midnight we will lock the thread and no more votes will be allowed. Q: How to vote? A: Follow this link and listen to all the tracks in the group. When you have a definite top 10 post the results directly in this thread. Q: Who can vote? A: Every Psynews member. If you're not a member feel free to register. Q: Is there a specific way to write the results? A: Yes, your top 10 should follow this specific format: Votes: 1: Artist - Title 2: Artist - Title 3: Artist - Title 4: Artist - Title 5: Artist - Title 6: Artist - Title 7: Artist - Title 8: Artist - Title 9: Artist - Title 10: Artist - Title The votes will be counted automatically by Rotwang's software so you need to follow the exact formatting. The 1st track will get 10 points. The 2nd 9 points, the 3rd 8 points etc. So order does matter! You favourite track should be no 1. You can vote for fewer than 10 tracks as well. Also you should not quote other people's votes when replying. Q: If I change my mind can I edit my votes? A: Yes, you can edit your votes as many times as you like until the deadline. Just make sure to edit your old post instead of creating a new one. Q: Can artists who participate in the contest vote for their tracks? A: Yes, they can. We feel that prohibit this would be unfair for people who genuinely believe that their tracks are worth voting. Plus since most artists have different artist name and psynews nickname it would be impossible to track down who is who. Q: Anything else? A: Yes. Please keep it fair by following these rules: 1. Listen to all the tracks before voting. The voting period is lengthy to listen to each track many times, so please take your time. 2. Do not vote based on popularity or friendships. It' s unfair for both popular and unknown artists. Vote for the music. 3. Do not create duplicate accounts to vote multiple times. That is all. If you have any question feel free to ask. Happy voting! Link for the contest announcement

I listened to both versions, the one in soundcloud and the one in bandcamp and they sound identical minus the longer outro. I have pmed the artist about it, but still no answer. If anything we want unmastered tracks. The rules specify that, unless the already mastered tracks fit our own mastering sound. Don't worry about it.

Artifakt is so awesome. I really miss him

We will. I guess asking ppl to read the rules was too much.

And... done! 43 tracks. We will soon post the voting rules. Meanwhile you can listen the tracks here.

NHJO is going to drop a bomb in the last second. Wait and see.

Wow, thanks for that. Tracks have been removed from group. edit: Actually I can't find the option to remove tracks that have been already approved. Anyone knows how to do that?

The only problem with Afgin is that most of his tracks share the same assets. The kick, the bass, the acid, the synths are identical. That makes his track sound like different variations of the same track. However he's a master of his sound. The first 6 tracks are totally awesome including one of the best new school Goa tracks Shine On. We're talking abour pure melodic power. The trance tracks are nice too, nothing spectacular. Overall it's a great album.

11 days left and we have 30 tracks. To be honest we expected much more, but at least the quality is top notch.

Some super great albums that Ake forgot: AP-Trust In Trance 3 1996 MWNN-Moment Of Truth 1996 Total Eclipse-Violent Relaxation 1996 Tandu-Multimoods 1997 and I would definitely add Psygone-Optimystique as well.

Vimana-Pleiadians remix

To be honest even the artists in the OP are better than Son Kite.

Neelix?

I'm kinda surprised by some conmments here. IMO this is MFG's best album. It was one of the first proper dark goa albums and has some of the best tracks ever written. Intelligent Machine, On Mars, Why? Legendary.

It's really muddy, especially the Sunshine track. But IMO this adds to the beauty of the album. The raw, dirty, watery sound.The album is a masterpiece btw.

One month to go. So far we have 21 traks. Not bad, but we'll need more. Once again we will deeply appreciate if you continue to spread the news about the contest.

Why? There was a progressive track in our previous compilation.

I watched it for the first time a couple of months ago. It felt like something that builds and builds to nothing. Like an incomplete idea. I liked it though, a lot actually. I haven't watched the End Of Evagelion cause I've heard that the creator was pushed to make it and I hate when fans do this shit.
