johnb820 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I recently realized just how prolific RA has been the last few years when I started adding up all the various tracks that have been released on different compilations, leaving aside the two full length albums released. Since I am getting excited about a possible new RA album coming soon, I decided to put together the tracks and make my own new album out of them. So here is my new RA album... RA - Forgotten Secrets 1. Gates of Tiphareth 2. Gateway Eight 3. Time Current (Silver Remix) 4. Lifethread 5. Static Distress 6. March of the Lunar Priests 7. Creation of Tefnet 8. Road to Shiraz Tracks that did not make this include Cloudwalker, Tears of Fire, and Icon (this last one because of the bad mastering). And going back to some of these lesser known tracks, especially the downtempo ones, I was surprised by just how good they are! Does anyone else feel the same way I do about the sheer musical quality of this project? The melodies, the harmonies, the song writing is just so well thought out and exciting. I can safely listen to RA and know that the track is going to go somewhere, it's going to pay off. Every second of every track is worth listening to because something captivating is always going on.

Ormion Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Not a fan of his dance tracks. His downtempo album though was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panoptes Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 His melodies are out of this world. R.O.M comes to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterelegy Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have to give Ra some appreciation because finding the album "9th" in a used cd store was the catalyst that got me back into goa trance after many years. At first that album didn't really wow me, but after several listens I found a real appreciation for it. Now I listen to it all the time. "Unearthly" is a really great album too, one of the best psybient releases I've had heard in years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richpa Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 One of my favorite goa trance projects. I have high hopes for a new album, 9th was and still is a masterpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shpongled247 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 For some reason when it came out 9th took a while for me to warm to. But now it is probably in my top 25 or so goa albums. Really quality floating stuff. The guy knows how to bring a track to life with atmosphere and obviously his melody work is amazing. His earlier work is a bit gritter and as equally amazing, perhaps more so to a lot of people. Been waiting for the next album for what feels like forever, but i can wait longer if its up to his usual standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbelaar Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Top 5 live stuff for me... Ra live on Antaris and Solarium was superb! Would love to see them again just before their new album is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
