Guest kingdok Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Is Liquid Neon Sky the first official single from this long-overdue album? Quote
Basilisk Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Here's the official word... CHI-A.D. have no firm commitments that I am aware of regarding the full-length album... I released Liquid Neon Sky and Book of Eden (both from Earth Crossing) on 12" just last month - the vinyl is out, but we're having incredible times getting any distributor interested. They keep telling us "no one buys goa any more" and "especially not vinyl". Well, how can we deal if they don't want to deal? So we've had to go to online stores direct, which can take some time... and the expense involved for the stores is sometimes too much - the market is saturated with vinyl releases that are kinda low-budget: plain covers, plain labels, etc... the 12"s we printed up have glossy full-colour covers and labels, and the sound is good... the downside: they were bloody expensive! And since we're in CANADA its costing an extra fortune to get them to European stores... and this makes it difficult for many stores, who are experiencing lower sales, to want to take a risk on a slightly more costly release... now that's a lot of blah about the single, so what about the album you ask? Well, the guys told me that if sales go well for the single, they'd be interested in possibly dropping an album when the time is right... I wouldn't presume to say that would necessarily be us of course, but if things go well we'd probably be one of the few crews wanting both a CD and vinyl release for the full-length album (BTW: the single is vinyl only because the songs would be included on the CD! but that won't come unless the vinyl sells! catch 22)... if things fall apart then chances are you'll just have to scrape up the tracks from scattered compilations (and if you're like me - someone who BUYs music - thats pretty tough to do)... Hope that helps to clear it up... I think the general answer is that there WILL be an album, SOME day, not necessarily called "Earth Crossing"... but if you'd like it sooner rather than later, and you're a vinyl buyer, then check us out... we're currently doing plenty of private orders of small quantities, so if anyone wants a box of 6 or 12 or something, contact us by email! And for everyone else interested in the single but only wanted to pick it up with their regular orders... well its at chaosexistence in oregon, and hopefully in some weeks we'll be able to pressure some other European stores to pick up some as well (emailing these places and requesting the release could help!)... peaze Basilisk (on behalf of Ektoplazm Records) PS we've made no promo postings anywhere since we didn't want to taunt anyone with releases that aren't yet available in Europe... thats the whole reason for the delay, just so y'all know!

Guest kingdok Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Thanks for that very detailed answer, Basikisk. 'Couldn't have come from a more reputable source! I was just curious, as I purchased that single from the aforementioned chaosexistence this morning. I was almost certain those tracks would show up on the CD, but wound up buying the 12" anyway, impatient junkie that I am. Whether I wind up with repeat tracks or no, I feel a little better now, having marginally tilted the scales in favor of a full-length Chi-Ad album. Yay me. Yay, Chi-AD! Quote
Guest kingdok Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Er...and sorry about misspelling your nickname, Basilisk. Quote
Basilisk Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 s'all good, everyone does with any nick I pick it seems... hope you enjoy the single! peaze Quote
Starkraver Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Is there any album as good as this one out there? As of this moment I can't think of even a single album which makes me feel the way this one does. Not even my beloved Etnica,Pleiadians Please! Suggest me something on the similar lines. TIA Quote
Anoebis Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Well... even better news, Earth Crossing will be released in the (near) future... Finally mastered and as a cd... Quote
Starkraver Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I love you!! How ? When? Suntrip? Dat? Who? Wow!! Fuck!! Wow!! :) *dancing like a mad man!* Quote
Starkraver Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Fuck! What a news! Imagine Zero Barrier blasting through. Oh man.. Awesome news, awesome news! World is beautiful again :) yes!! Yeaaah. I'm so happy. Oh man, this is an emotional moment. Thanks for the great news. Quote
Mental Explorer Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Oh man, that's amazing news!!! But...: On which label?? Quote
Starkraver Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 ^Penzoline - Yeah. Makes more sense! Quote
technosomy Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Well... even better news, Earth Crossing will be released in the (near) future... Finally mastered and as a cd... yes!!!!!!! finally suntrip for sure thanks fellas! Quote
Veracohr Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Interesting, I thought I remembered seeing the album offered for sale on Chi-A.D.'s website many years ago as a download, so I've always assumed it was mastered, but maybe just not released on a label. If I listened to any samples at the time I don't remember, so I really have no idea how it sounds. Quote
Manuser Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I can not remember all tracks and obviously Liquid neon sky sounded good enough, but the nostalgic Hammerhead was ruined by a very bad (or absence of) mastering. This news really makes me happy, one of my favourite goa trance albums. Quote
Starkraver Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I can not remember all tracks and obviously Liquid neon sky sounded good enough.So does the Transparent sea and Zero Barrier it's my favourite as well! It's a great news. this will be one amazing CD! Quote
Anoebis Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 The name of the label is already mentioned, but I can't say anything before the official news... its not about who will do it... but about what will happen Quote
Starkraver Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 No worries! Whichever labels it might be. I'm gonna worship them for this one! Quote
