Some people consider us highly professional, but believe me, behind the curtain we're just kids who like to play and enjoy in what we're doing. Working with Kristijan (Lunar Dawn) was sucha nightmare, seriously, I never met a person who made me laugh so much in my life, especially when we discussed 'serious' album stuff like artwork, track names, melodies, vocals.

 

There were so much inside jokes from both sides that one day we might collect them and post it somewhere (even tho it's almost impossible to a foreign person to understand or even translate our obscure and non-standardized Croatian/Bosnian terminology from rural parts, it would probably sound like weird orcish grumble). The best times happened when Saša (always sleepy part of Lunar Dawn) and Mirza (Arronax) would join the conversation and discussion, at some part we're discussing the music from the album, after 5 or 6 minutes, we're deeply and seriously into Bosnian cuisine, trying to find common opinion and agreement about certain dish. Or even better was situation when we started with artwork concept and I had to forward to Arkadii some examples and sketch for the artwork so ha can work on the illustration. Since I was in charge of that I had to draw some elements and send it over, and the most problematic part was that I draw things like 6-y old kid, or even worse. Thank god, Arkadiy used his talent and magic and turned Kolovrat concept into the beautiful and vivid piece of artwork. In case, you like innocent, ugly things, here is the original concept. You have been warned.

Anyway, I hope Kolovrat will reflect our good times, funny moments and positive feelings which we had during the last two and half years and become and bring the small part of that positive mood in your lives aswell, because there is a certain honesty in it. I just wanted to thank you all for warm and honest feedbacks in so little time, they mean so much to us and I wanted to thank Lunar Dawn and everybody involved into this album for a wonderful adventure, especially to Kristijan, a guy who brough so much joy, humbleness and positive things into my life and into Neogoa, you're not just an artist, you're a true friend and I thank you for that!

This such a great, musical Goa album with numerous gems, Golden Arms Of Kresnik, Rebirth of Jarilo, etc. But the last two songs are outstanding! If a Goa song could do justice to classical opera bliss, the closing track here, Into Morana's Cold Kingdom [feat. Jasmina] is IT for me. Its Goa-influenced slow-tempo is enchantingly beautiful.


And Blessings From Irij (2015 Mix) is a masterpiece.

While I don't love every track (none are bad), this album showcases some of the best new school Goatrance I have ever heard to date.

Way to go! Neogoa :)

Have a great future ahead. One of the coolest labels of the scene. Dimensional Gateway was my first encounter with this label and since then I have been closely following this label. :)

 

looking forward for more!

I saw those snapshots last Saturday of the CD's but a good quality pic with these CD's in a pile "format" just gave me shivers. Neogoa Records official fb page has 604 likes today, also today I got a written confirmation of that Lunar Dawn gig is happening 20.11.2015 in Helsinki, Finland (together with Proxeeus) and the most miraculous thing is that one guy just dropped "from heaven" this morning and offered essential help with the gig arrangements because he is a uber fan of Lunar Dawn. But back to this picture: I am so glad of the birth of NEOGCD01. Congrats to the daddy = Richpa and the mother = Lunar Dawn. And even more kiddos coming of the daddy with another mother, haha :D
