Thanks mate glad you like it... yeah, too lazy to compress into mp3 and now when you don't have any size limitations on soundcloud then I thought why not. I'd be curious to hear that aussie mix!

Namaste Bhaiji! Aap Kaise Ho? Have a good stay. I reckon this is the best psy-oriented forum out there, so you came to the right place. You probably noticed the yearly review section here? I reckon it's priceless info, by reading thru them you'll gain a vast knowledge of the history of this music.

Unfortunately I find him quite uninspired, never on the forefront of quality. He made a track called "Paraphernalien" in the 90s that I enjoy thou... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DgheteOHSk

Alcohol is alright when taken with caution. It's never good in big doses: It harms the body and therefore affects mental abilities. Long term use lessens one's ability to think clearly and make moral choices. Drinking a lot tells about one's relation to himself: if he needs to drink excessively in a social environment it's a clear message about lacking self confidence. To fix the lack of self confidence, on the other hand, takes a long term plan of mental re-adjustment and a key trigger there is the person to start accepting him as he is. And here we see alcohol ruins this possibility and therefore drinking in large quantities is a vicious cycle. I hope you all relatively sober year 2014. :--)

I got an idea to make an exclusive german set... they've got a distinct style I love! X-Dream and the likes included. https://soundcloud.com/sab-kuch-milegator/german-school-goa-trance-mix

It's a tad restrained, insignificant melody line - there's nothing blatant about it. Wouldn't call it cheesy by any standard. On the sidenote: Whow, Etnica is like insta-skip these days, huh?

After Death is a top drawer track, almost going to that "Twin Sharkfins" spirit. Good album althou the mastering is too loud.

I miss the days when Darkpsy meant stuff like Satori's Razor or Sandman's End of The World... ;----)

Hi GC, I've got an unreleased version of that track (not 100% sure if it's the same as Gus Till is talking about.) It's quite similar to the released version just like MWNN's Moment of Truth on this comp. I might go as far as saying it's not worth the disc space but let's see... =)

Awesome Nhjo. That's a way to keep up the Xmas spirit!

That's an interesting suggestion but would only really have some weight on it if it were, that you were spiritual but "lost it" after academic education. That'd be talking out of own experience and I could give it some value then. "Hold on to such beliefs" as in religious beliefs? My friend, I'm not talking about religious dogma here at all. I'm talking about spirituality. It's quite naturally connected to religion as religion stands as a platform for sharing the belief in a social way. It's human to want to socialize and get acceptance to the ground rules of your life, the way you look at things. Nevertheless, spirituality is not directly and automatically connected to religion. I can talk out of my own experience, that obtaining this spiritual awareness has nothing to do with book smarts. And still it's not indirectly telling the one having this belief is somehow stupid. that'd be making one too many conclusions without evident logic behind it. To what does this academic education connect to? It connects largely to the observable universe, the physical reality. So it's logic stands as long as we stick to the conclusion that the physical universe is all that's there to be observed and is the only thing that exists. You remember that analogue (maybe I'm moderating this a bit...) about a man who had been living in a cave behind a rock, and when the Sun shined in all he could see were the shadows reflected from the wall of this cave? And his belief was that these shadows were the most grand thing out there, and it was, according to his experience. Now think, that if there was a being that was fully aware of the Sun that was creating those shadows, would come and meet this man who'd been living behind the rock now what would it be like? The cave man would probably give the most glorious speech to defend his version of life where the shadows form the ultimate reality. How could this being aware of the Sun start telling about it? He shouldn't compromise to a level where he accepts cave man's narrow logic and continue to argue things from there. But he also can't quite dismiss the shadows as one needs to take to a conclusion cave man's mindset. He would understand that there doesn't exist the perfect vocabulary to explain the Sun in a rational level as it deviates from the cave man's experienced subjective reality to a far too large extent. The being from the Sun thinks and comes to a conclusion then, that the only thing that would make it possible for this cave man to acknowledge the Sun is to see it with his own eyes. To see the Sun, The cave man needs to step out of the cave. Stepping out of the cave takes curiousity and courage, qualities that lie deep down in the cave man, rather than logic that was always happy about creating theories about the shadows in the wall. He needs to have humility as the founding attitude of his mind, as by stepping out of the cave he accepts the possibility of change and to having let go of the mindset he thought was based on ultimate reality.

Then again, measuring 'intelligence' is quite a vague thing to do the first place. There's different fields of intelligence in human behaviour, academic being just small portion of it. I can't agree with your statement about an inversely proportional relation between intelligent status and spiritual belief; I see they're not contradictory. All I'm saying is that academic education isn't necessary for spiritual belief as this belief is generated by something else in human than the rational mind singly.

I find it there's no such language as of yet that would, without a doubt, prove gods existence or vice versa. Having a spiritual view for life doesn't acquire high degree of intelligence or book smarts, it's a perception or insight that goes deeper than logical mind can grasp. This insight is an experience, and cannot be automated thru logical means only.

Sounds a well idea. You've got more than enough top drawer material to choose from. Here's what I'd like to have included now that you ask: Antares - Xibalba Blackstarrfinale - Icarus One/Sagittarius A/Is Pause No/Bonetti Defense PharaOm - Space Outpost Titan V Innerself - Modules Astrancer - Tetragrammaton

I once heard a track on DAT by him called 'Lunacy Found Me' which remains unreleased, that is easily his best track but I've never heard anyone having it. I happened to loose the rip I made and now that DAT has went missing. He released some old tracks not too long ago but this one unfortunately wasn't included. Sigh... would be excellent addition to MR3 if I still happen to come across it.

They're good and worth checking out, seen them live once.

Artifact303 - Levitation Device Astrancer - Dzog Chen Nova Fractal - Autopsy Galactic Mantra - Temple Of Cosmic Sun GoaMech - Synthesized Not Yet Those are brilliant in my books.

Here's my thoughts on this subject... Filteria is regarded one of the leading neo-goa artists out there and that's a deserved spot I reckon. He's done this music for more than 10 years and has progressed to a mature artist. He gets my respect for sounding like no one else; no he doesn't sound like Etnica at all to my ears, although admittedly there's a lot of same gear in the production. I've always wanted to give him a fair chance on each new album, as I know he has the right tools to do wonders and push the envelope for modern day goa. Unfortunately, when speaking in subjective terms, I find that he never quite achieved the ear for melody I was hoping for. He would've already if it was meant to, but I think me and him just fancy different approach to melodic arrangements. I don't want to put him down, but the sound reminds of those 70's psyrock jams where some acidhead is twisting the synth knobs to a beat with the intention to create variety and three dimensional atmosphere, but ultimately failing to mold a sincere emotion in the track to make it open up for human heart. He did some great melodies a couple times (e.g. the ending melody on 'Birds Lingua Franca') but usually ends up sounding technical and unfocused a tad too much.

My intention was to create a two hour relaxing, loving journeý to calm down the overloaded senses and ease the stress. Here: https://soundcloud.com/ridgegoamix3/shivas-bliss-beats-love-energy

The best nithzo album out there I'm aware of, avoids the cheese trap and excels in complexity. Recommended.

Maailmas on jo liikaa totista alien/shiva saundii mun makuun... And thank you for the compliment.

Hey all! My new and probably last psytrance piece for some time... Buuuum. https://soundcloud.com/sab-kuch-milegator/kusid-d

Who else but Doctor Franz... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdn2gnZJeP0

Hey Kim, check out the two "Shiva´s Delight" mixes on my signature, they're both (130-132bpm & 134-138bpm) slow goa mixes.
