Bill Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 JaraLuca Perpetuum Mobile Neogoa Tracklist: 1. Existence 2. Perpetuum Mobile 3. Galaxicity 4. Minds Circus 5. Insomnia 6. Uncontrolled 7. Solaris 8. Emptiness First and foremost, this cover art is awesome, probably my favorite so far by Richpa, symbolic for the sounds, open to interpretation for meaning, kinetic visuals that just leap out. My take is JaraLuca is the brain at the center shooting his goa energy into the open brains of the listeners located on either side of his creative stem. Once attached to the synapse of the listener the pure-white energy (or is that steam from these red-hot productions) are released into the universe to do, well, whatever great energy does once us humans have had our fill of it. I like the cover concept, a lot, and there must be a number of interpretations there but the important thing is that it enhances the music quite a bit if you're puzzling over it while tuned in to these sounds. "Existence," the title track, "Galaxicity," "Minds Circus" and "Uncontrolled" are rollicking numbers, full bodies of sound with great levels in each. Unfortunately, as of yet, I have had a tough time breaking these tracks down and appreciating the details because it is too easy to get swept up in the energy and stomp a few moments of your day away. And that is not a bad thing, as it means I'll hear these tracks a few more times before things slow down enough to get at the lower levels of them. What I love about "Perpetuum Mobile" (an Italian and Portugese musical term for perpetual motion, a very fitting album title) are "Insomnia" and "Emptiness." I'm a sucker for beautiful female voices and the snippets in "Insomnia" add a level of enjoyment not to be found, as of yet, in any other track on the album. Too, the big, broad trance melodies are a lot of fun among all these crazy-good effects and fire-in-its-step rhythms. "Emptiness" is the psychedelic down tempo conclusion and a damn fine ending it is. Lovely, lush, relaxing with just enough energy to keep things moving forward nicely and those syncopated melodies are drop-dead gorgeous. No problems getting into all the details of this one and it will surely get a lot of play and mindfulness in my collection. The thing I hate about "Perpetuum Mobile" is "Solaris," it is off-the-chain crazy, holy-shit intense, the type of musical recklessness that gets me too hyped up and makes me feel like I could run through a wall. And I like my walls, they have pretty and interesting things hanging on them. Perhaps one day, though, I'll be fortunate enough to have something as intriguing as this cover art hanging there. Good release! Available for free play or download at http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/jaraluca-perpetuum-mobile/attachment/jaraluca-perpetuum-mobile () Edit: One thing that occurred to me is the similarities between this one, "Perpetuum Mobile," and Celestial Intelligence's "Perpetual Energy" that is also out this year. Very similar album titles, very similar go-for-it approach to goa. This one is fine but Celestial Intelligence is better because it has more fascinating layers and details in their tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richpa Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thank you very much for the review. Regarding the artwork, if you wish I can adjust it for print and remove the fonts from it, so if you like it, you can make yourself a print or something, just let me know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penzoline Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Insomnia, what a tune! Dark new school at it's finest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richpa Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Indeed. I was amazed first time when he sent it, even the original mixdown wasn't that good as it is on this version. One of the reasons why we had so much delays in first two months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desysko Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Man...this album is just pure gold. Not wanting to make any early claims, but definitely one of the best albums so far (and probably for the rest of the year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspartic Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 What a great win for Neogoa again. Pumping energetic goa with superb production. Clearly this is a talent at work here. Fav tracks: Existence Minds Circus (traaaaaaance!!) Insomnia (eerie, haunting, different, excellent!) Keep up the acid lines, me like a lotta!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StratosOZ Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks Bill for this review ! And thank you guys for your kind words !! Mate, your album kicks so much ass. First listen I wasn't so sure, but i now realize how awesome it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krev Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Excellent release Mister JaraLuca, that's some well worked goa trance over there. And an other 2015 premium release for Neogoa ! Hard to choose a fav track, as the whole album is pure acidic and energetic bliss, but Minds Circus may be a little above the others for me, thanks to these crazy acid spins. Regarding Solaris, the faster tempo prevents me to enjoy it to its fullest, I may need some more replays. I didn't know you and your music reminds me Artifact303 a little, keep up the good work, I'll for sure follow you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
