Well, I think I made your day happier. I understand your point, but this was not my intention. Took away the red colour. I hope the fuzz - for what it is worth - has gone now

lol, serious? - One of our label dj's is co-organizing it (and he doesn't post here - not the entire global goa scene is on this site with an active account). So, seems fair to support'm as much as I can babe Sorry to have caused the end of the world - KABOOM!!!

Making me very curious

Had nothing to do with mastering Was an error in a mirror imgage: mix up it seems between two versions. Any how, everything is solved I'm happy so many people enjoy the music so much THX guys!!!

That issue has been resiolved ...and I thank your keen ears (you know what I mean)

Thanks for your kind words. We don't release much, but we are very a live indeed (check our label philosophy on our official site). The official release of the physical CD is scheduled 12/13 sqeptember 2015; when we have a "5 years Cronomi ft. GreenSpirit" party planned in SWitserland @ a btw an epic location (old castle ruins on the top of a hill). So from that date on the CDs will be shipped for sure.

Ow yes, before I forget ...if you guys whant to use the banner, feel free Made by "dj Psara" (Portugal); she also has all credits to the art work http://i61.tinypic.com/2e199ar.png

You have no idea how happy you made me with this comment! This track means a lot to me: its selection was a very special thing...almost an accident, but I'm happy it happenend! Its vibe is mystic, spiritual, deep, 70's, old skool,... rough and sweet: new born..Like the best foto ever taken with a shallow mystified glare in it You understood: THX mate!!!

You get 2CD's for arround €19,5 (postal fee + music) = € 9,25 for 1CD. Do not forget Cronomi is a small operation, and not a registred company that can get official (big) discount from postal companies We do what we can... BUT WE WORKED OUT A SOLUTION: cheeper shipping for EVERYONE 4,5 euro for shipping (from 19th August on) I hope we can stick to the topic here: the music itself. Plz keep it positive. + Nope, we are distributing all our next releases 100% our self. No other label sells our CD's, we preferred to do it that way (like some other labels are doing too). I hope we don't loose your respect for that We like to stay 100% independent. Just a choice we made.

Yes you were

Antic, you are fast dude!!! Here is the full release text NEW BORN - NOTHING BUT A TITLE (2CD Album) Writing an introduction text for a new CD should be simple, like it always was. Only this time, we are speaking about an exception. The first line I came up with was: “New Born is Tom Rarin, Tom Rarin is the music, the music is New Borns soul.” “How to describe some one’s soul?” Not an easy task; impossible thy say? Indeed. Cause Tom Rarin (aka New Born) is probably the most colorful and complex Goa artist walking around the scene these days. God, I love that! Only controlled by his own standards."Love within" A colorful blend of emotions and sounds makes him the real “New Born” in the Goa scene of today. Only influenced and touched by his pure desire to make music and express himself in notes. With a very specific way of being creative he already set the world on fire with an epic musical poem “The Observer”. Well this time it will not be any different. Let yourself be amazed and don’t hesitate to taste his “new born” music with your ears and an open mind (very important). Allow yourself being overwhelmed by his sensitivity. Don’t judge by only listening once: carefully, dive deep, dive deeper every time you listen. Become a part of the music, become a part of New Born, join his soul in notes within notes.

+ another prove Goatrance existed way before 1994, but more early! Check this video and learn about your own scene's origin The Beginning of Trance & Goa trance scene 1992 Have fun exploring/rediscovering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFm9jjvXjWc#t=151 Note: my hope (after listening and collecting Goa for more than 15 years) is that newer artists can motivate themselves more to listen & dig deeper in these music styles where Goa originated from. To make newer Goa sound less generic or superficial, again floating productions too the more organic and more pure form of Goa (again). Noticing the early Goa is (mainly) deeper, in a wierd way darker & melancholic & psychedelic. And for all the scene put the focus again on spiritual awareness instead of ego & politics (playing at parties, festivals, making connections or else you don’t count any more). Respect to those who still live that dream!!! Last years I feel this is really comming back New awareness ftw!!!!

Yes, this compilation (like "erta alé" before) seems to work very well: every party I attend to play a dj set I take some Cronomi CDs with me to sell, and this one gozs out very well

THX He certainly is open for bookings

Thank you so much mate!!! This is going to be fun: digging deep to find the "real" old skool stuff

As the title states: traclist wanted. I'd like to play more of this Goa in my dj sets in the future.

Unveiling The Secret - The Roots of Trance by Dave Mothersole http://www.bleep43.com/bleep43/2010/4/14/unveiling-the-secret-the-roots-of-trance.html So there we were, three fresh faced, south London former soul-boys in bashed up Armani jeans and Converse, huddled together on the back of a motorbike taxi, heading off to our first party. “We’ll show these hippies what it’s all about” I thought as the driver, perched up on the bike’s tank, deftly negotiated the pot holes and a million insects buzzed away in the warm night air. It was late August 1986 and still monsoon time. As we grew closer I could see dozens of Royal Enfields haphazardly abandoned on the pathway that lead to the carcass of the old Catholic church where the party was being held. Groups of people were sat around outside smoking chillums. Some looked up and stared as we passed by and it began to dawn on me that this might not turn out quite as I’d expected. Nothing though, could prepare me for the shock I got as we walked inside. It was like stepping into another world. UV pictures of blacksploitation babes and leather clad joy boys hung from the walls as the speakers pumped out these dark, synthetic beats. Wild eyed loons in flip flops and rags leapt about next to girls who looked like they had just walked in off some Milanese cat walk. An American kid in his late teens dressed in a Mickey Mouse tracksuit and sporting the best Billy Idol haircut I’d ever seen, walked up and offered us some liquid acid. “Full trip or half trip” he leered, pulling out a whacking great needle-less syringe and gesturing at us to hold out our hands for a dose. “Could change your life” he said with a sly chemical grin and an air of overbearing superiority. I went for half, holding out my nervously clenched fist in a mixture of curiosity and fear. Outside Indian chi ladies from the local villages had set up little stalls selling tea and cakes and all around people were dancing like it was their last night on earth. Clouds of pungent Manali smoke filled the air as the incessant, narcotic groove chugged away like a runaway train. It was like Lord Of The Flies and H.G. Wells’ Time Machine in a blender with an acid fried version of Miami Vice. A post apocalyptic Monte Carlo, reclaimed by nature and inhabited by a tribe of wild, decadent, jet set gypsies partying their way into some new collective consciousness. Far from showing them what it was all about, we looked on in a mixture of horror, fascination and wide eyed disbelief. Passive observes who’d stumbled across this weird bacchanalian scene. In a church, at the end of a dirt track. A few thousand miles from where we from, but a million miles from anything we knew. As defining year zero moments go, this was a major one for me. I’d expected to find a few burnt out pot heads singing Bob Marley songs around a campfire. Not this. That American kid was right - life was never quite the same again. To understand how a bunch of western misfits, searchers, junkies and fugitives ended up dancing to a mutant strain of proto-techno on a beach on the Arabian sea, you have to go back to the late 60’s. The story of how Goa became a magnet for freaks the world over, can be seen in the excellent Facebook documentary, Goa Hippy Tribe. Suffice to say though, by the mid 70’s, the full moon parties were in full swing with bands playing all night on big four way speaker stacks. Come the early 80’s, the original crowd of hedonistic settlers had been joined by a new generation, many of them European, who brought their own music with them. It’s unclear exactly who set up the first electronic music parties in Goa - some credit a character called Dr Bobby (father of Tiga) - but it is known that many of the new arrivals would frequent clubs in Ibiza, London, Berlin, Rimini and Riccione when they returned to Europe for the summer. It’s also clear that they had little or no attachment to the 70’s rock favoured by the original crowd. Initially they were met with some fierce resistance, but by 1983 electronic music had pretty much taken over. And so it was that at the same time that Chicago was creating House and Detroit was forging ahead with what would become Techno, the roots of Trance were being sawn on the beaches of Anjuna and Vagator. And just as Chicago had Ron Hardy and Detroit had The Electrifying Mojo, Goa had a DJ called Laurent. If it wasn’t for him, it’s quite possible that the music played at parties in Goa would have been little more than a carbon copy of what was going on back in Europe and America. But like all true pioneers, Laurent made it much more than the sum of it’s parts and in doing so created a whole new style of music. Legend has it that when he left France for Goa he told his family he’d be back in a couple of months, never to return. Whether this is real or not is anyone’s guess. * Goa has always has been a place that lives on rumours and half truths and separating fact from fiction has never been easy. For his part, Laurent credits fellow Frenchman Fred Disko with being the first person to play electronic music in Goa. And there were of course others like Swiss Rudi, Stefano and the now ubiquitous Gil. But it was Laurent who defined the style and set the parameters for what would become Trance. He took all the new electronic music coming out of Europe and America, cut out most of the vocals and parts he didn’t like, extended the parts he did and stitched it all together into one long, constantly morphing psychedelic groove. New Wave, Italo-disco, EBM, New Beat, Goth, Electro, Hi-NRG, Synth-pop, House – anything was up for grabs. As long as it had the right vibe, it could be made to fit. But unlike his DJ counter parts in the West, Laurent didn’t use records - the heat and dust in Goa made that imposible - he used cassettes. Tapes had been played at parties in Goa ever since the introduction of amplified music and by the early 80’s the Sony profesional walkman was the deck of choice. It was hard wearing, sounded good and it had a pitch control. It also had a mechanical pause button with a very precise action. This was imperative, not just for playing live, but also as a way to re-edit and re-arrange tracks. Many of the biggest hits in Goa during the 80’s were substantially re-edited, often to take out any unwanted vocals, but also to extend some of the rhythmic passages. Laurent’s re-edits of Blancmange’s “Living On The Ceiling”, Boytronic’s “Hurts” and Soft Cell’s “Sex Dwarf” are legendary examples, but many other songs had the same treatment. Removing the vocals was considered important as they would often distract from the dancer’s trip. However, it did depended on what type of vocal it was. Anything that sounded pop-y was out, but more abstract subject matter, especially if delivered in a “New Wave” style voice, was allowed. So acts like Depeche Mode, Psyche and Front 242 were often played with the vocals intact, whilst Den Harrow, for example, wasn’t. But whilst singing was often removed, newsreel and documentary style voices were used a lot. And as LSD and Manali charas were the most prevalent drugs at parties, the audiences were very susceptible to the content of these soundbites. Religion, re-birth, the cold war, drugs, time travel, mysticism, nuclear disaster and sci-fi were all popular themes and at times it felt like these messages were being beamed down directly from space. That we were God’s chosen ones; his disco dancing, cosmic flower children; ecstatically gyrating our way, shiva-like into new realms and understanding. That’s probably why Laurent’s style caught on. By taking the psychedelic aspects of experimental rock and applying them to electronic dance music, he had created a sound that was both accessible and otherworldly. It was functional too, which was important because like any other DJ, his success depended on his ability to make people dance. The demographic in Goa at that time was quite wide, with the age range going from 18-50 and the male to female ratio being fairly even. His skill was to get all these people on board whilst simultaneously pioneering a new style of music. And like all truly great DJs he was able to do this because he had the ability to make records translate. Tracks like Orient Affair’s “Classic Dance” or Hypnosis’ “Droid” may have sounded a bit camp or even pompous back in Europe, but they were given a strange poignancy as 500 people kicked up dust clouds under the coconut palms. Messing with song tempos was another Laurent trademark and you would often hear him slowing Hi-NRG tracks down to around 100bpm. He really understood the importance of context. How, because of the drugs, the mind blowing locations and the tribalistic nature of Goan beach parties, he could make tracks feel and sound different. Playing for anything up to 10 hours at a time he would move from dark, hard hypnotic beats during the night, to sweet, uplifting, sun kissed grooves in the morning. From Skinny Puppy and Nitzer Ebb to Koto and Laser Dance; from 100 to 150bpm; from nightmare-ish and scary to blissed out and glorious. It was a heady combination and one that had a tremendous impact on the lives of many.

Amazing album!!! Raw, deep and warm analog sound: may it be an inspiration to all the goa-scenen, the new artists & labels!!! Mastering sounds good too... This CD proves that new and goa artists are as good: if new artists are patient and put big effort into all details (mixing, make unique sounds,... not imitating what seems to be succesfull,...). Quality before quantity: long live Zion604! Full Cronomi support guys Just amazing CD. This is what Goa should be about. Made now, sounding like the 90's.
