no-nonsense

Got my copy yesterday, now that was fast service. Beautiful album.

I got the bandcamp code for the digital version mailed today (and a bonus code for a Boshke comp), very nice. The CDs are on heavy rotation since I got them.

Just got it from bandcamp, and it came with no freebies. I just hope the album will be made available for streaming and download, though. Edit: looking again, there was a pin badge inside!

Just repaired a little web tool I did for automating compilation track-by-track search in discogs. Since it was tailor-made for finding tracks in goa compilations, it may be of interest here:

Summer 1998 (23 years old). First goa purchases were Black Rhino and Forever Psychedelic. Good times.

Here's a mix I made with groovy midtempo goa tracks: http://goatranch.com/2010/02/23/dj-nonsense-ancient-mechanisms/

Portion Control - Wellcome http://www.discogs.com/Portion-Control-Wellcome/master/372898 Front 242 - 05.22.09.12 Off http://www.discogs.com/Front-242-05220912-Off/master/15598 Lassigue Bendthaus - Matter http://www.discogs.com/Lassigue-Bendthaus-Matter/release/123342

Great remixes by Tarsis/SBK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ8_7fYVJPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4soarEjCX8 Ollie Wisdom singing on this one fits his Batcave punk-goth background, sounds fantastic IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTHEVO_KfIA Cool robotic vocals were one of the best things of "We Interface"

Past editions were fun, looking forward to this (impostor syndrome already kicking in, btw ).

It has some of the aggressiveness of 90s dance industrial

This is a fave of mine (with the rest of the old Gaia Tontraeger stuff). I even like the cover. Simplistic, but it has a certain ellegance to it and it's trippy to stare at.

Psychoactivity "No Process" is a favorite Irritant tune, collaboration with Atmos. I like the electro stuff on We Interface. Forum hate made me avoid that album for some time, but now I love it, and the robotic vocals, too. Very diverse album, the kick in Distressor is almost doomcore.

The old albums are full of goodies, just two from top of head: - The Source Energy (deep final track from Ultraviolet Catastrophe) - You Create Your Own Reality (vocals and all, great goa feel)

This preview stream of the new album (out next Monday) sounds great.

Computer Breath is great, too.

A bunch of cool songs: Killing Joke - The Raven King Mentallo & The Fixer - Stellar Cascade Skinny Puppy - Worlock Covenant - Call the Ships to Port Cubanate - Oxyacetilene

Raw, listener-unfriendly early trance. Perhaps an acquired taste, but great music to space out to. Johann Bley did a cool remix of the first track.

Seems Pete Namlook passed away, RIP.

One thing about early Boris Blenn material is how deep the grooves are, with such sparse arrangements. Evolving acid line + basic percussion + uplifting pads = trance magic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrrwcoO0OSk

My first contact with goa trance was probably in 1998. I was intrigued by certain spiralling sounds I heard in a coffeeshop in Amsterdam, during an interrail trip around Europe. Back home, being more or less familiar with electronic music, I had a look in the goa trance section of a record store (that wouldn't exist for much longer), and got two V/A comps: Black Rhino and Forever Psychedelic. From there I got hooked. Bought some more releases at the same place (Equator, Voodoo Witch, Distance To Goa box-sets). Searching the web I found sites like TRiP, goatrance.free.fr and mp3.com, and have kept collecting the stuff until now.

I'll have a go. Nice lead sounds, melody work & cool eastern vibes. Very good. 8/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ue27pontF8

Where can I order this?

Ordered!

First releases by Human Blue, Matenda & Tegma.
