danz Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 :( :( i have no way of buying the cd err damn underaged shit! wish i could i truly do cuz i would buy it in an instance =( Quote
mars Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I've listened to the compil and to me this is the best Metapsy release to date. Psycho stuff. The subra and Artifact 303 tracks are especially amazing. Personnally I don't give a shit whether this is released as mp3s. No human being can do the difference between a wav and the same well encoded as VBR or >192 with Lame. 1997 or 2007, whatever...I'm happy as long as this is Goa music !!! Quote
Agneton Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Bought this one some time ago, I'm especially fond of the Nolax track and the Mindsphere monster. Another important song is the one from Pandemonium, man, that kick sounds awesome on a big stereo! Metapsychic didn't dissapoint me at all, this release is definitely worth the money. Quote
pawelek Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 mars: are you saying that no matter the source wav/mp3 both sound the same focusing the quality ? Quote
Aeros Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Yes, and I agree with him. There is virtually no difference between VBR mp3 and wav. Technically yes, virtually no. The fidelity of your speakers will make a far far FAR greater difference in quality than the difference in quality high quality mp3 vs wav does. MP3 works by dithering out the very high frequencies (between 16khz and 22khz) - these are frequencies that most people cannot even hear with their own ears - frequencies that most sound systems (that you can fit in a building) cannot even render. VBR or 320kb Mp3 however, does not dither until about 20khz - the result as said many times is the difference is so small its not discernable to people outside of studio mastering environments. Similarly so with the 5-10hz bass - that tone is too low to hear and is not a range present in psytrance or any music, no matter how bass intensive. Additionally most psytrance producers will actually cutoff frequencies below 62hz, (except for the kick) as that will sharpen the bass and clarify the kick. In short, this is what mars is saying Quote
Mike A Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 all that, but i still want my music as wav. call me a psycho. Quote
Anoebis Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Yes, and I agree with him. There is virtually no difference between VBR mp3 and wav. Technically yes, virtually no.

Additionally most psytrance producers will actually cutoff frequencies below 62hz, (except for the kick) as that will sharpen the bass and clarify the kick. In short, this is what mars is saying a little off topic here, but on big soundsystems you actually can hear the difference... not that you are missing melodies or so, but simply the warm undertone of organic deep basslines seems stripped, it's not as warm "full", but then I agree that's only on big soundssystems Quote
Basilisk Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 In reference to the last post from Anoebis, for music designed to be played loud, WAV really makes a difference. It's true I can't usually tell the difference between a properly encoded MP3 and a WAV file at home, but it is easy to hear on a loud system. When DJs play nothing but MP3s there is a curiously muffled feeling to the music. No good! About the download statistics; with 22 tracks and 2200+ downloads, this would suggest about 100 downloads per track. However, the actual numbers listed next to each track are like "1|1|8" or thereabouts. Has the Lost Buddha EP really been downloaded by no more than 20 people or so? That's a bit sad. Quote
chatnik aka alien Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 On the side stories and fights about this compilation, lets turn on music... it's awesome compilation. Tracks kick ass, the best one [for me] is Artifact303 - Trip To The Sun... great job Quote

cray3 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Excellent Goa music..top class... keep up the good work guys Quote
frozen dream Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 nice work, though i wouldn't consider this a professional release, some tracks really crackle repetetively! Quote
Combinator Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I love the thing you´re doing to promote this "Newschool" Goatrance, we have som very talented artists here which i will follow with high interest thanks to the compilations Metaphysic´s releases. All-in-all i would like to have this one as a physical copy Quote
pawelek Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Great idea for trying to keep goatrance alive. Although for example this recently released compilation doesnt sound that good as i was expecting Definately too modern. Besides old school melodies which are good but in fact nothing special, i can easily feel something major is missing as in most so called "goa" records released after 2004. You can only try to keep goa as good as it was in 90's, but you will never achieve the same high level with all thos vsti's and other shit Go back in time 10 years, and use the equipment which was available in that time. This is in my opinion the first step to make great goatrance stuff Goa is old, so it must sounds OLD! Quote

I think that new-school goa should sound shiny and modern - old goa have been done already. What's the point in making the new stuff again? Quote
digitoxin Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I don't like this compilation. Great music but the sound quality sucks. Even worse, it is caused by bad mastering. For example Jungle Hippie that was posted in this forum was mixed oldschool and a little flat, but now its totally distorted. It has not improved, it was made worse. To be specific, i still listen to the original Jungle Hippie sometimes, while i instantly deleted the Hyperactivation version because of the distortion that was added, making it almost unlistenable. To me it looks like musical effects that are used on single instruments were used in a process that should only involve sound stuff like compression. Quote
Mike A Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I agree in one thing the neo goa sounds modern, but somehow i dont get those chills down my spine that i get when listening to old school goa made with analog synthesizers.. the vst sound is to plastic and lacks the textures and rawness of the analog circuits.Trust me - digital vs analog is NOT the reason why you get those chills down the spine Quote
