Colorbox - Ain't Cronomi Records supposed to re-release the album? That was my impression. Bypass Unit - Writing new tunes (or was it remixing old ones?) so who knows what happens. Personally, give me Etnica's JAUTBL remastered with bonus cd of their 93-95 unreleased material and it's the last thing I'll ever ask. x)

@Starkraver He had a lot of material as you know... and lot of it is kind of bland if you ask me (he was a bit of a bulk producer). However, some of his collaboration is pretty decent indeed. Here's a couple good ones: http://www.discogs.com/Alien-Community-Alien-Community/release/99432 http://www.discogs.com/Move-D-Namlook-Move-D-Namlook-XVIII-Sexoid/release/1523696 http://www.discogs.com/Shades-Of-Orion-Shades-Of-Orion/master/90704

I've joined the fun with 'Astral Astray'.

Goes without saying but - Feed The Mugwumps is one great track. I'm really looking forward to this.

I'll join if I can get a working studio setup before the deadline. (It's also possible I'll submit a collab track w/ Intriga that's in the pipeline... )

Hah... my own mixes!

He's one of the best. Truly I don't like a lot of new school but he knows the plot.

I'm not sure I understood correctly but there's no sync button, not that I've used. You search for the cue point and rewind/forward the next track on the other deck to get them sync - manually.

I just remembered a great "old" finnish goa track Anu might not be aware of? I wish there was more like this.

Yes, he's writing new material after I bought him a new harddrive. 1) No I don't and probably will remain so, for now. 2) Ridge Mättöpyörä! Hohoo... it's Mättökiuas. There's a Soundcloud page of mine but not a whole lot material there. Also an album on Ektoplazm.

Sure, I see what you mean. And I'm glad a person like you exists here! Maybe it'll sum up to something relevant. About Finnish active goa artists, there are what I can remember: Nebula Meltdown Aavepyörä Intriga Profetia Me (sort of - maybe going to that direction next)

Sorry Anu but you're mistaken. Has happened 3 times every august since 2012 (with pure old school goa all night) two of them on a small island in Helsinki and last year on a beach in Helsinki as well. Also, Shakta & Etnica (and Anoebis and Afgin as new school represents) were performing old school sets here recently.

Thanks.

Now, nobody's mentioning the epic 1995 track 'Pleiadians', almost reason enough to close this topic. And how about 'Sonic System'? Not bad at all, really glad DAT Records will be publishing these old tracks again in improved sound quality. Tbh, they've got too many good ones to pick, let's say, a top-5. They had such a great level of delivery, that even their more average tracks are enjoyable the least. I do think both IFO & FOL are a bit uneven BUT still consider them classics and think they both carry a couple unmatched, brilliant tracks.

Hi! I made a rmx of this great track about a year ago. Here's the link:

Yes give the guy a bamboo massage bhai.

I just talked to one party organizer here in Finland and he told some people refer it to as "stipe" here, that would imply to need to use of stimulants to enjoy the music.

You say it well, when you say your example guy has different motives (to, let's say, Koxbox that we mentioned) - and it's a taste thing at the end of the day. I'm just here thinking that when I visit a festival - even in Finland these times - I listen to the darkpsy played at night, and I couldn't tell when one track ends and another starts. A good thing? Maybe for some trippers. The festivals have just become so overrun by this mediocre, run-of-the-mill, lowest common denominator psytrance that I can't bare the direction of this genre sometimes. Maybe I'm just too... OLD!

Yeah the bass is just more than one note - I'll give you that. Actually, it's not half bad a track. There's little old Koxbox feel to those trippy melodies going from 3 mins and on. Of course there's good darkpsy out there it's not what I'm saying, probably isn't the intention of OP either, but I'm missing a lot of time a bit of groove/mechanic/hypnotic vibe to it; it's a genre filled with ideas that don't evolve anywhere. Here's an example of dark that I like myself, just to be fair.

That bassline's got some groove to it. If something, it has resemblance to recent Suomi. Sorry mate but I think it's nothing like modern day darkpsy.

It's just so happens, Yogi was after a track with the exact same sample! That is a couple years back, but I do remember when I eventually came across such track - so maybe it's this one (@4min):

Once I had it like this too; it was Hux Flux and can't recall who else playing some NYE party. I couldn't, at some point, comprehend at all it was music, so I had to go out from the party... it was freezing, I remember looking at the stars for like 10 minutes before I had to go in again... this cycle lasted for a couple good hours.

The OP's post is great. Very good remix, taking all the best ingredients of the original and making '15 version out of it. It should not be that hard - especially if you're remixing a great track - but the majority of remixes I've heard prove otherwise.

I do reckon that it's close to impossible if you do psychedelics that have strong visual alteration. But with, let's say magic mushrooms, the psychedelic high is perfectly possible to achieve without a strong visual experience especially if you take a lighter trip. To put it short: some psychedelics only alter your perception about yourself or goals in music. So making the music is not harder than in a normal state, it could be the contrary.
