    Atmos - 604

    While not a fact, I think the fact that he called one of his albums 604 is a clear indication that GOA was a big influence for him. I for one can definitely hear the influences in his work and for me, he is the definition of GOA's transition into a more progressive style. His tracks on FRR straddle the GOA/Prog boundary.
  2. I loved, still love Suntrip, but over the years I have had to be very picky with what I pay so much money for (Why aren't education, health and general child rearing free?) For a while I bought everything and, to be secretly honest, I have been waiting for their bandcamp digital discography at 70% off to be worth it for me. I own so much of their early catalogue, but none of their recent releases, so at the moment 70% off is only like 30% off, but the more they release, the more I don't have and the better this deal becomes. Just a waiting game...

    SCANDI90'S

    Was this not a known thing? Atmos was on quite a lot of Flying Rhino Records releases. Even if his style was leaning towards the Goa Prog style, it was definitely steeped in Goa, and his early stuff like this shows that.
  4. The original 20 minutes I heard was 7:26 and the extended version is 20 minutes 😮 Very nice as usual from CBL, would prefer a bit more, but I'll always get what I can get from them
  5. Well doesn't this look absolutely delicious? Genetic, Hallucinogen, Bamboo Forest, Total Eclipse, Jaia, Atmos..... $14 is a bit much for my budget these days with the awful exchange rate for yen, but thanks to Bandcamp I can still give this a full listen and see if it'd worth 2 grand

    Getting old 🧙‍♂️
  7. There was so much released that I never listened to, I wouldn't need to ever buy new music, I could keep finding old music I never heard. But then, I like new music too
  8. My god, an AI bot created from Radi6404 posts 😂 Just too perfect 🤔
  9. Building up the energy to go home. Hoping that when I get there I can just quickly shower and go to bed. Hoping that I didn't have to listen to hours worth of complaints. 🥺 🥺 please 🥺

    :posford: Nothing happens when I put in this code, unlike which still comes up with the old emoji. Not for the life of me, I cannot picture what the old :posford: emoji looked like. Does anyone have an old image of it? To satisfy an old mam's curiosity... Also, why doesn't it work anymore? Anyone know why? 🤔
  11. That was strangely interesting. Are the stories about the Pleiades really that old? Awesome if true 😳
  12. Threadromancy...... ✨ I have loved all the Juno Reactor stuff I have heard: Transmissions Beyond The Infinite Bible Of Dreams Shango Labyrinth Luciania But I saw in the reviews that there are quite a lot of more recent releases. Have Juno Reactor kept their quality? Which are with checking out?
  13. If you can listen to this without thinking "It's Pleiadians, Pleiadians are awesome old school masters and this will be an awesome old school masterpiece" then it'd not actually that bad. It'd decent fullon is nothing spectacular. However, I can't not think that, and this album always sounds like trash.
  14. You'd think that one of the most sought after albums, that finally got a re-release, in spectacular fashion with all these extra goodies, would have more than (let me count again) zero replies. I must admit, the timing of this release was not great for me personally, if it had come out 10 years earlier when I was young, single and blasting Goa through my speakers and annoying my neighbours, I would have been listening to it all the time. As it was, it came out while I was looking after a 3 year old and a wife with postpartum depression who did not like good music. So I barely listened to it. 7 years later I am getting back in to the forgotten albums and giving them more listens and this one is great. The original album is good and I am a big fan of the early stuff too. I'll give it more listens this week, when I get tired of the Pleiadians I.F.O. re-release 3CD set 😂
  15. This is actually one of my favourite Solar Fields' albums. One artist that has never lost it Favourite track is The Daylight Carrier but that is just the culmination of a fantastic album. I am surprised that it doesn't have more love here. 🤔
  16. Same, I heard some Goa at a house party, and just remember seeing the Order Odonata/Dragonfly logo and bought a CD with the same logo, it was this, Genetic - Trancemission had me instantly hooked and I've never looked back.
  17. I want to believe it's Radi, but it is just too on point for Radi 15 years ago, it's hard to believe that someone hasn't changed one bit in 15 years. Also, why would anyone go to so much effort?
  18. Carbon Based Lifeforms never fail to impress and this album is one of my favourites from CBL, it came to me at a time where I was not expecting anything from them and suddenly I had an amazing album that was blowing me away. It's a very atmospheric journey through lush dreamscapes, nice pads, beats, rhythms and soundscapes. I have no idea how there has been zero comments to this review except that maybe everyone here sucks 😂

    S.F.X. – Rainbirds

    I really liked this album. It's one of those releases where I don't understand people's comments of "it sounds dated" in a negative way. Yeah, it sounds dated, to an era of absolutely amazing music. What the hell are people complaining about with this "it sounds dated" complaint? Does Chopin sound dated? Of course his compositions sound like that era, is it an issue? No one cares. So why do people fixate on old electronica sounding like the era it was made in? For me that's a plus, not a negative.
  20. Angle Tears - Indian Ballad Seb Taylor is the best artist to follow on bandcamp. He releases fantastic stuff at a great price. Recently he's released a load of compilations. 50 odd tracks for next to nothing.
  21. This was released on my 35th birthday and while I have vague memories of this, and I know I own it because of this review....I still cannot find it anywhere in my collection. I feel this is a metaphor for my life at 35, I have strong but vague memories of things but I'll be damned if I can actually remember what happened (for context my daughter would have been just born 2 months after this release, at the same time I was getting demoted at work and taking a huge payout, just in time for my new family member)
  22. One of the last great Ultimate albums A really nice journey that unfolds so nicely with a quiet undistracted listen
  23. This release, for me, is symbolic of the direction Ultimate took, or the direction I took. It sounds good, I like it, but it doesn't grab me. All recently Ultimate releases are like this, either their style just got stale, or I lost the ability to really focus on enjoy it. I still listen to a lot of drone ambient that can grab me, so I feel it's the former, but I hope it's the latter so later, when life calms its tits a bit, I can sit and maybe fully appreciate this and other later Ultimate releases.
  24. Summer finally hit here. After a July of wonderful warm weather in the mid 30s, and having to endure people complain that it's "too hot" and ask them "what are you going to be like when it gets truly hot?" It's ramped up a fair bit now, pushing 40 in many places. I love summer, I can acclimatise, but gotta stay safe and stay hydrated.
