A lot of people support the 3rd parties, but make a 'tactical' vote for a major candidate because they believe that voting for a third party is not as important as keeping the other major candidate out of office.

Really interesting album, unfortunately spoiled by poor production. Really lacking in stereo effects and uses the same weak kick and cymbal throughout. A remaster would elevate this from 'good' towards 'great' territory in my opinion... tracks 1, 3 and 5 are mindbending... sadly it's unlikely a remaster will ever happen

Me neither. I found Marcello Bonifacii on Soundcloud though: https://soundcloud.com/interplanetary_explorer

These are some of the most overlooked oldschool artists relative to the greatness of their songs. Probably because they never released full albums. IMHO the tracks posted below are amongst the most psychedelic goa ever. Plenty of darkness and a strong beat. This is the holy grail for those who love the oldschool low frequency analogue sounds, and great use of acid. With the constant buildup every melody is a glorious release. And a nice gentle downtempo one: Their work with Ominus is also excellent. Much respect, still listening 20 years later

When I first got into Goa trance many years ago Oforia was an artist that I didn't really like. His sound was too cold and unforgiving compared to the melodic warmth of many other goa artists. Nowadays I believe that he is most innovative and creative goa artist ever, and responsible for many of the genre's most energetic and mindbending tracks, i.e. Alien Pump. Certainly one of the best producers too. As I mentioned in another thread, tracks like Timelessness predicted the kind of industrial techno music popular recently by 15 years. And tracks like the great choice by Richpa above anticipated and exceeded 2000s psytrance as early as 1997/8. There are too many great tracks to choose from. This one is very underrated, has a great build up and absolutely ripping 303:

​Thanks for the recommendation, it's been years since I listened to that album, ultra-creative, tripped out stuff.

Destination Goa 5 is one of the best, containing Miranda's best track, Lunar Civilization, some really minimal dark stuff, classic but rare MFG track

Haha! Nice catch of Radio Gaga. Although there is a bit with too much resonance to be a 303, sounds more like a Jupiter 8.

Lost Buddha - Yoga. Sounds like a lost Pleiadians track, with the screeching and squealing replaced by bubbling liquid acid. A wonderful take on that classic sound.

All for 1 and 1 for all

Telementery is badass and huge! Metallic acid worming into my brain. Love the break at 6:05 and when the melody kicks back in at 6:45 the cutoff is turned down like in uplifting trance but in this track it doesn't quite fit together, it's electrifyingly twisted. Boom!

Planet BEN - Ant Invasion and any track on IFO to be honest. The more I think about that music, the more I think it's made by aliens.

It's a scientific effect that loud music sounds better. What I've noticed is that every act in a concert will crank up the volume more than the previous one to sound better and because people are progressively losing their hearing during the concert.

House of Cards

"Atoned Splendor has been on a mission to Psychedelify The Middle Kingdom." Haha. It's pretty good stuff. And also true that 中国 needs psychedelifying.

Don't be an ass.

I know that he is persona non grata around here but it doesn't take away from the fact that he's the best goa artist releasing music today. The remastered Yoga is fantastic. There's something really special about that track... Crop Circles style bassline hitting all the right frequencies, relatively minimal arrangement, and around 4:00 it all starts to come together and I'm getting sucked into the acid warp. The Faraoh track somehow combines demented Egyptian melodies, chiptune influences, and acid, modulating everything the entire time and never letting up on the energy. Totally whacked out and wonderful.

Nice one! been ages since I listened to them, need to check all their stuff out again

Wow, that's an eye-opening interview. I had a similar accident in a studio once but fortunately the ringing went away after about a week or so. Can't imagine what it would be like to suffer the condition that he does, especially when music is your life and passion.

真的吗？ 你少了一个字！

How about some psychill / goa actually from Taiwan? Check out Moon Tribe - Eyes and Moon Tribe - Blue Wave Great stuff.

Sounds like a 303 lol:

Fantastic idea! But why didn't I see any hi-tech like this when I lived in Beijing? Tech news makes you think China is full of it, hah.

Yeah the addictive melody in that track was playing in my head as I made this thread. Once again... 1982! I can hardly believe it! Just a 303, an 808 and a Jupiter-8.
