d2kx Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Guess what I'm holding in my hands right now, I LOVE OUR GERMAN POST Ordered it wednesday morning, arrived thursday morning :-) #edit: The positive: Heard the first two tracks and OH MY GOD just how good are they? The negative: I can't cleanly rip track 3, 6 and 7 with foobar2000's secure mode with twice CRC checking. It doesn't seem to be a problem with my cd drive though, the original CD also has at least one problem with the tracks, in track 3 "Chaos" it skips at 1:13. Anyone else has this problem? That's where you would like to have the digital release so those things can't happen... it finished ripping the track after it tried it for several times though. I'll listen to the tracks and see if there are other noticeably problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike A Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Seems like there is a problem with 1:13 @ track 3. Amazing how after listening to something so much you miss the little things. Anyway, don't worry. The rest of the album is perfect and the music is more than amazing. We will upload a fixed version of track 3 soon.

Colin OOOD Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Seems like there is a problem with 1:13 @ track 3. Amazing how after listening to something so much you miss the little things. Anyway, don't worry. The rest of the album is perfect and the music is more than amazing. We will upload a fixed version of track 3 soon. Ok this is very embarrassing and I want to apologise to Mike, Artha and anyone who has had their listening experience spoiled by this. As I write this, I have Chaos up on my mastering system to make a new version without the glitch. An explanation... Because my mastering chain includes analog processes, the final master of each track must be recorded in real-time. That glitch comes as a result of my current studio computer (single-core AMD XP3200+, 1GB RAM) not being powerful enough to run my mastering chain for a whole track without crapping out at some point. This means I have to listen carefully for glitches as it is being recorded, and when they appear I skip back to the beginning of that section so that it replays, hopefully without any more glitches. I therefore have to do a lot of editing on every track I master, chopping out the repeated parts with glitches to make an unglitchy version. I just must have missed that one. There is no excuse for something like this creeping through into the final version as both Mike and I checked each track carefully before the album went to manufacturing, and I am very sorry that this has happened. It's a fantastic album in my opinion, and all I wanted from the moment I heard the first track was to do everything I could to make Artha's music shine, so it's incredibly gutting for me to have been responsible for what I sincerely hope is the only error of its kind on the CD. Although it won't help with Influencing Dreams, I have just invested about £1500 (more than every penny I have) into a new computer for the Stooodio (i7 930, 6BG RAM, SSD HDD, RME Hammerfall) which - when it's finally up and running! - will, I hope, make sure not only that glitchy mastering is a thing of the past for me, but that the final quality of my mastering is even higher. Once again, I offer my apologies to Mike, Artha and everyone who bought this CD for my mastering glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphiton Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I think if you offer the proper version for free, it won't be much of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (single-core AMD XP3200+, 1GB RAM) to (i7 930, 6BG RAM, SSD HDD, RME Hammerfall) Oh my lord, that's going to be one insane performance jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisBSF Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Fair play to Colin and Mike for owning up to it, mistakes can happen to anyone. Small price to pay for being able to use The Compounder though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2kx Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 So, I wasn't into Goa in the 90's yet, so maybe some hardcore oldschool Goa lovers will disagree, but... Really guys, I've listened to the album twice now and it is one of the best musical pieces I have ever owned. It has very interesting themes, not only soft and sunshine (not that I don't like this), and this with a super modern and great sounding production. Again, I wasn't into Goa ten years ago (I still like a lot of the stuff from then even though it sounds dated to me mostly), but if anyone thinks this album is not great then you can be sure you're biased and will never like anything else other than the oldschool stuff. I'm a bit speechless, even with the clips, I didn't expect it to be just *this* good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike A Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Since there is a glitch in track 3 (Chaos) on the album, we have decided to offer a fixed version of the track free for download.

amithaba_buddha Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Shit Happens but i wouldn't be negative about this Release as there's tons of work involved. Positive vibes to Cronomi and Artha for making such an AMAZING PIECE of MUSIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longloststar Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm very impressed by this, sounds like a mixture of old Infected Mushroom and new school GOA. Production is excellent but not without soul, a beautiful release for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2kx Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thank you for the fixed version of Chaos. I only heard about Artha recently with his free EP, but when I heard about the album I had to get it as it's exactly what I was looking for: modern production, new school Goa trance with sense behind it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penzoline Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Listened the Chaos track and... TALK ABOUT MAKING GOA, PSYCHEDELIC AGAIN. Holy shit, seriously, these days nothing sounds like Artha. Wow. Interesting from beginning to end, trippy sounds. I can't wait for my copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphiton Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Controlled, Chaos and Saikol are goooood, rest of the album no my cup of tea. Best Cronomi release to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anub1s Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Controled best track ever by Artha , about this version its very good but after that chilly 5:30 - 7:11 i don`t like it , becose after chill moment continue in grovy psychedelic ride , it will be much better to end there and if it is, then will be a masterpiece for closing album,dj set etc.etc. The oter tracks that i like , Myscic Change (but the old unreleased version is somehow better), Saikol-pure bliss and Chaos (very good psychedelic goa ) again congrats to Cronomi and Artha for this good release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
