It's a beautiful album , it's really deep and wonderful Goa-Trance. Thank you and much love to my colleagues Goasia!

yep it's awesome album. Now EAT STATIC! <3

nahh don't see it that way actually the original is the best one in this case , like most originals are , except for 1 or 2 remixes but sure you know what i'm talking about anyways ! If you don't it's Shakta - Lepton Head (Deedrah Remix) lol full of lemons lol

Yes mate i'm sure you are. Somehow I doubt you will ever listen to it. Have you have never heard an old saying : Curiosity 'killed' the cat? Well , if you didn't you just did now.

Hi Penzoline. I have my own version of Untold Stories . I will look for Astral Plains but I probably don't have it , it was just crap remix I did from Infinite Dimensions and didn't care so much about it lol Hello again Penzoline. Sorry only got the original Infinite Dimensions - Astral Plains in mp3 . The remix might be lurking around a big pile of CDs and if it is only an mp3 will be found. Not really worth the effort it really didn't contribute anything to myself. I have my own version of Untold Stories instead. Maybe , one day!

Hi Mental Explorer. I'm really not interested in releasing my music on CD because it doesn't add anything to it than just more costs and loss. Just having a 'platinum' cd really doesn't add anything special to my music. It's just the way the CD looks. Sorry , i'm not a materialistic and superficial person.

I'm really sorry to hear that you think what we release is rushed and produced like some chemical which is totally untrue since i've been many years away from this community it's obvious I had a lot to material on queue , doesn't that sound logical to you? First of all my Musical equipment is Japanese. I feel happy to give them credit for creating the wonderful instruments and technology I have so much pleasure to work with. Second : I'm Portuguese/British and so is my wife and my son. And Final : I created Submoon i know the concept of my own label. I have studied a lot of Japanese culture and I do respect , love Shinto and their traditions very much also to add I'm Portuguese and there are ancient connections regarding myself , Japan , China , India , Asia , Africa , Americas and rest of the world in general. I'm Portuguese , this is what I do , it's in my blood , it's my legacy and that is what the Portuguese did and I do. Ever paid attention to your History classes? I did. -Photo : Padrao dos Descobrimentos , Lisboa , Portugal. Looks more to me that someone's been poisoning your mind and I know exactly where that came from lol. (ex-metapokesphototropikikyansuntropwoppscocotrampa *sacré bleu* *shneil* crybabies *losers* whatever just LMAO Mary Poppins.) That info is also described in Submoon Website if you had paid attention instead of playing with snakes : We are an Anglo-Portuguese label with Japanese and Asian origins/influences. You know here between us two Bassbot , I have people watching... and If you want more help just give Laughing Buddha a phone call i'm sure he will not mind to give you a hand. If you still don't like us and still doubt us then you can always speak and ask my friend Arnie for some psychotherapy! You know , he's always available! To conclude : Bassbot here is your chemical , you're not even the real TB303 , you're just another clone and i've watched Star Wars - Clone Wars many years ago , it was shit. So please stop spamming my topic with non-sense , unlogical and other unbased facts , in other words : *shit* *snakepoo* , from people that need nothing more than to WISE UP. Obrigado , Gracias , Thank you and Arrivederci ! Have a great time! Wish you all a Great Sunday . /Filipe Santos

If i can also suggest i'd be more interested to hear something original

The song is good , i think what they meant about quality is it some sounds pierce the ears a bit around the frequency spectrum which it does , i'd say it's very around the mids and you will probably have to spend some money in monitor headphones/speakers .

You don't have to go 'against' anybody , just create if you feel like it. Keep it positive and stay strong.

you shouldn't even reveal the bpm lol let them do their work! lol

Yeah it's your opinion , don't want to inflate your head but your track was one that sounded best. Keep it up.

Lots of discoveries! It's funny but very humble . It's nice keep it up guys! Thumbs up.

By the way your track in the recent goa galaxy compilation was one that brought my attention , i suggest you keep up whatever you're doing and keep working hard!

Well yeah mate that's how it works , afterall you have to work in your own music. It's part of the process , it's not an ego thing , i just simply don't want to be influenced by what i don't want to. Of course there's good music I listen to , even yesterday i played some MWNN - Big Troubles In Outer Space and Elixir 3 in Goa-Head. I do re-visit things , it's part of work and studying.

I'd suggest to astralprojection to do something original and put Spiritual Healing aside , personally i give more credit to something from their own person than 'latching' their names next to 'big names' . Sorry doesn't work for me. astralprojection my friendly advice is : try something from you! the spiritual healing pitch bends are really hard to nail , it's mostly a straight midi note with pitch bend modulation hope i could've been of some help .

I'd say the best is just be yourself , do what you feel and the rest who cares! Everybodys different , everybody sounds different , no need to feel intimidated by 'big names' in the end it's all psychological , it's all in your head! Speaking of myself i just love making the goa trance i like to listen to , just saying this if new people will find me intimidating which i don't want that to happen , I do it mostly for myself and what i like to hear , if im 'big' or not i don't really know what that is and i really don't care haha As being honest i don't listen to 'new school goa' i don't like it either. Sorry 'new school' fans. Very rarely there's a good 'new school' goa that i can honestly say it's good , the songs tend to 'drag' a lot on knob twists instead of giving out good melodic content. There's lots of layer 'fillings' instead of focusing on the necessary instruments. No need to put random sounds floating on background if it's just there just to say it's there. Does it contribute anything to you and the music you are producing? Does it contribute anything to you? I'll leave that to the new ones to think about. I can pull a good Goa track with 4 instruments and a drum machine. How? Use your imagination. I did Particle-X - Ion Space with 2 old electribes and a few effects. Was I happy? Damn straight i was. Less is more. Focus. Doesn't matter to me how many layers an artist puts in but what counts to me and Goa is that every layer has to have your Soul. Simplicity can be a lot Complex. Filtering is part of the magic too but i think the content is way more important. It's not a competition , me and my Goa is about not trying to impress anyone and show off how 'killer' my and your music is. That's not what my Goa at least is about. The new producers and many of the old school too still have a lot to learn of what Goa really is , it involves a lot of studying , meditation and inner development , for many it sure is just opening a computer program and just write some eastern melodies. Goa is a way of life , it's deep and clean for me , i'm not involved in dirty parties , people involved with chemicals and it sure isn't about money, fame , ego , showing off or simply saying : i got this i got that , look how big I am and so on. No , Goa is special to me and it will always will . Pure and simple love for the Music. It's deep and personal , I share it and sell it because there are always costs involved with my production but what I get i am very grateful for it everyday. I appreciate people that love and show their support by buying my Music and i hope that it can bring good to your life. What else is outhere i have no interest in it whatsoever. As for now i am not going more in-depth with this topic I'm going to move on and not dwell on it , after all there's an old saying : 'Each one for himself' right? At least I hope I can teach and I hope the new generation can learn some good things from me and my work since I feel i'm carrying so much of the best of the Old Goa Legacy , afterall i'm also a dad now and i'm glad to teach the same to my son and hope one day he will carry what I have in my music . Back to the contest : I wish you all Good luck! For the new Goa producers that's best tips i gave and no more shall be given. My apologies to OP for deviating from the contest a bit. Wish you all a good Saturday! Peace

Very true Respect .

lol That's how I work bro

Yeap , forget about it , it's done and dusted , you think about it and do what you feel , as always , do it for yourself! Stay positive man! You're welcome.

If there's a vote my first vote goes for : Javi & SkoOma Play darky shizzle Cardiac Arrest - There is no try, just do! _b

Why man why not ? That would be fun!!

Dude no need please chill. I respect your views if you find them top-notch producers. Well , hope you can overcome that 'intimidation' and that you can maybe work out something nice. Take it easy. /Filipe Santos

Nah , you shouldn't feel that way , this is a good chance for new people to show what they can do For starters i am not participating on it since i'm busy with Submoon and the new album and even if i wasn't i think this contest is good for new people not for the veterans. Just being honest.

you should go for it .
