Veracohr Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I've been listening to these songs a bit now, and I can't believe this guy had trouble finding a label. Some of this music is incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWeevil Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've been listening to these songs a bit now, and I can't believe this guy had trouble finding a label. Some of this music is incredible! It's good arrangement but not finished enough to be worthy of a release in my opinion. Compared closely with any released music from the entire 90s it doesn't sound so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared closely with any released music from the entire 90s it doesn't sound so great. sorry but but do really mean that?! First of all there were far worse music released in the 90s or 00s (lots of crap), secondly, any finishing touches could easily have been made before a potential release, (this could, I guess, be classified as "demo" tracks?!). I believe that maybe the time was just not right, especially with regard of the labels he sought out (Dragonfly, Matsuri?? (defunc since 1999) or Flying Rhino) in 2000 they sort of left the whole classic ("golden era style" or what ever) Goa thing, maybe feeling it was getting outdated at the time?! Well just my thoughts anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 It's good arrangement but not finished enough to be worthy of a release in my opinion. Compared closely with any released music from the entire 90s it doesn't sound so great. Seriously? What are your criteria? I consider this on par with Chi-A.D., Pleiadians, Transwave.... If you think the arrangement is good what about it do you consider not good enough? Some of the songs are a bit more stark sounding, without as many extraneous sounds, but I appreciate that because it shows a focus on the most important part: the songwriting. And the songwriting is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWeevil Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Don't be weird, I listened to all the tracks and the level of detail and structure is not up to caliber with the legends. All those artists you mentioned had a very polished sound, this is very raw. Like I said the basic arrangement and melodies are nice, if it was more polished then a release would be interesting. I think Imperial Project was a better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Imperial Project was a better. Weird? That's a weird comment. I disagree with you, but that's OK. I'd say that "polish", if anything, is just a professional mastering job, and Crossing Mind's lack of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beat Addict Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Ahh, sweet. Never heard about the guy until now. Listening to "Cyclone in your Heart" at the moment - good stuff! Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think the guy just happened to seek labels in the wrong moment and yes he really chose the wrong ones. if it was 96 he could find a deal immediately I'd say. Unfortunately the year 2000 was really the moment when EVERYONE was fed up of the goa sound (except the old-schoolers) but the main scene was looking for smth diverse. The people that followed since 93 or 94 were really bored of the straight in your face melodic goa and wanted diversification. Now 10 years after I can see there is a return to the roots of goa and melodies are somehow striking back, even in some full on modern produced tracks. In any case now there are many labels that will be interested in releasing his music and i can agree a bit that he needed some proper mastering but the tracks are really good at par with imperial project. Shall i go hunting imperial project too now ? Nah.. is enough for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agneton Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I think Imperial Project was a better. I think Imperial Project tracks sound very very raw too, but I have to agree I like those tunes better cause theres a more pumping eastern vibe in them. Nevertheless, the Crossing Mind music is really great & emotional Goa Trance which surely deserves a real CD release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWeevil Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Shall i go hunting imperial project too now ? Yes! I listened to Crossing Mind again (takes many hours to hear them all) and I agree there are some nice works worthy of a release. But it's not so perfect IMO, only "4/5" material. Imperial Project is in a bad place because their tracks are all 128kbps or lower (the supposed 320kbps are just transcodes from a lower bitrate). IF the original WAVs exist somewhere they should sound a lot better. Combined with mastering I imagine it would truly be up there with the Dimension 5 and Etnicas.

Richpa Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yes!

IF the original WAVs exist somewhere they should sound a lot better. Combined with mastering I imagine it would truly be up there with the Dimension 5 and Etnicas. I've got whole Cygnetic Records (goa trance) discography and tracks from Imperial Project sounds much better than many ''free newschool goatrance EP's'' (yes, i'm talking about 128/kbps soundquality). Ken Da Lyud and other guys behind projects like Overmind Projection, Anodynez, etc. in 2001/2002, made a great job.
