Agneton

Isn't this just a reprise of tracks featured on earlier Goa Gil mix CD's? Nothing exclusive here. Honestly this has little to no value to me...

Funny and interesting discovery! The resemblance is indeed striking :)) goofy melodies all over the place.

What if I refuse?

Wow!

Tbf and in retrospect, the way Fullon is/ was slandered on this forum was so unnecesary and quite childish. It's just music... in general this forum has always been wayyyy too echo-chamber-ish for my taste, although it obviously had its good parts else I wouldn't have stuck around (for example the review section helped me discover some great music). Sorry for the salty post and hope everyone is having a great day <3

Yeah I'm guessing we don't need to hold up our hopes too high, it's been radiosilence here for weeks. Whatever, plenty of other places to look for CD's!

Very very decent Nitzho-goa, been having my eye on this guy for a while. Full lenght album in the make for Sita Rec...

I'm waiting for you to post the Goa list... really depends on the condition and which items you're selling.

Because they quoted him in the same post. Also confused me at first, but it's just because of that quote, nothing else.

You guys should go for the tried and tested method of doing a Google image search with the words hippie + girl + festival and see what pops up. Ain't that like the most obviously effective clickbait practice for this experiment (edit: while still remaining somewhat related to the music)?

Yes, Techno scene is super exiting these days compared to the Trance scene. Love the fact these dudes don't draw lots of boundaries, they mix all kinds of nineties styles into this big melting pot and the result is so refreshing.

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Rabtu-Gawa-Paradise-Trance/release/363648 The front cover also says "Benefit Tibet", and on the back of the front cover the story says: "In 1950 China invaded Tibet. The Tibetans have calculated that 1,2 million have died as a result of the Chinese take-over. In 1959 the Dalai Lama was forced to flee his home and now travels the world gathering support for his people. The Tibetans believe in a non-violent struggle for freedom. The deserve all the help they can get. 50% of the profit of this CD will go to the Tibetan people, who lost everything, even basic things like homes, clothes, food and medication. You will help to prevent one of the oldest cultures of the world from disappearing."

Love how it took 18 years to get a reply on this thread and someone actually went ahead and discovered the title

"A State Of Trance", check wikipedia for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_State_of_Trance

Agree, I like all the funny little sounds and ideas combined with the nice distinctive melodies. Just bought it.

Respect for your work!

Don't know of any new releases in this style, but I do enjoy the occasional Shiva Chandra or M.O.S. releases from the 2000-2003 minimal era. They had something...brooding, soothing, dark yet they weren't over-the-top kinda "look at me I can play 50 sounds at the same time". Very refreshing to listen to from time to time, although I'd imagine how boring and monotome the scene must've felt back when this music dominated the scene...

Please stay away from here, for your own safety and ours.

I guess he's referring to the fact that psyhoe is selling some (rare) items for quite excessive prices through discogs. https://www.discogs.com/seller/psyhoe/profile I'm not judging anybody here, just informing. It's a free world.

You got Hypnoxock mentioned twice in there (which is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the best artists around, so that's definetely Ok by me! )

Commercial music, essentially I'd say, is music that was consciously written and produced with the purpose of appealing to the biggest possible crowd, given the current 'hypes'. That's definetely not what Afgin was trying to do with his Trance output, he simply and wholeheartedly loves this type of music. Complexity, easy-listening, etc. has nothing to do with the question how commercial music is, afaik. Honestly the term is so biased and that's why I'd rather not see it written in the context of this artist. We can discuss about it of course, this is just my honest opinion.

Calling his newer work commercial is completely wrong. Melodic trance in the style of Afgin had a peak around the start of the 00ies but nowadays is way less popular than Psytrance. You're applying definitions of the term 'commercial' as used in 2002, not 2020. Secondly, to answer the OP, he doesn't produce as much anymore, but still plays sets quite often. Last year alone I saw him playing live in Beligum, Spain and Israel.

Ace Ventura is far from the worst example of this kind of minimal drop-infested culture. Go check the average Brazil psytrance-festival video on youtube for a truely horrific experience :p promo-videos posted by artists only feature the drop-points because that's the (only) part where people go wild. Example: Edit: Missing the times where drops were called climaxes.
