psytones Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 ^ Anak was a mod on Isratrance back in the heyday He gave/sent me his Vinyl copy of Sandman's Psycho Toones many many years ago.. I'll never ever forget and not appreciate that. What a cool release:) And the guy made some nice music holding up his own unique sound and yeah I guess style Do not know how he's doing today.. Hopefully he has a good life:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's a good EP for sure, the tracks are quiet in a positive way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanosp81 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Entry #15 https://www.discogs.com/Various-People-Walk…/release/1671912 Second compilation release and 2nd quirky title. I guess in festivals you do see a lot of people walking around in ways fit only to alien forms of life. Acidic Goa with many great names, more mature that then first release and....ohm, welcome Artha please everyone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanosp81 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Entry #18 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Erta-Al%C3%…/release/2776370 Boom. The bomb has dropped. Pure acidic Goa Trance and an excellent cover as well. For me this is where Cronomi Records peaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 this really is a release i don't get at all. there was so much praise for erta ale and apparenlty there still is, but the only track i find good is e-mantra's. i'd almost call it the weakest release on cronomi records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanosp81 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Entry #19 https://www.discogs.com/Portamento-The-Port…/release/3089702 Funny how our perception of art depends and changes with era, time, personality, mood, even the time of the day. I do not know anything more subjective than art. When I first heard Portamento I was blown away. I remember thinking that's how NeoGoa should be made. But I did't get that feeling when I re-listened to it. Whether because I heard it so many times, or it didn't age that well, or I just wasn't in the right mood I do not know. But it is what it is. Still, a solid album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 PortaMento was the last good Cronomi release (and their best release if you ask me). After that they started going seriously downhill (I don't even own anything Cronomi past PortaMento anymore). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanosp81 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Entry #20 https://www.discogs.com/M-Run-Some-Run-Just-For-F…/…/3948484 Let's start with one thing that won't make me a very likable person. I do not like NeoGoa. No matter how much I try I cannot enjoy it. It sounds too mindless and purposeless compared to oldschool Goa/Psychedelic. Too much noise for nothing (how many channels do you need to make a modern track?) Their sole purpose is to be played in a club or an outdoors festival (which is great) but with Goa, home listening was always an option. Having said that, 90% of those releases I do not like. This is the case with M-Run's album. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 now for the last two albums we can agree :). portamento was really good back then, now it's just ok. nothing i'd seek out anymore. and m-run was never my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to check my phone to make sure it wasn't the 90's (I wish). This compilation sounds like it was (expertly by Dj Inada) compiled 20 years ago. More please.

thanosp81 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Entry #22 https://www.discogs.com/Artha-Dream-Telepathy/release/9402679 Hmmm, that cover, and especially that font. It doesn't bode well. Thankfully, I'm wrong. It isn't the Artha you would expect from his debut album and EP, but once again he shows us that he is one of the few artists that truly get the feeling of oldschool Goa. My only complain is that some tracks feel a bit underdeveloped or forced to complete them in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanosp81 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Entry #23 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Reactivate-Volume-1-The-Belgian-Techno-Anthems/release/145699 Let's see, I did downtempo, I did Psychedelic, now it's time for some proper oldschool rave I think I will stick with that order for a while. Having started listening to electronic music in 1994 the first sounds I was exposed too were coming from Rave (in the very broad sense). Even if it was only for a couple of years (while transitioning to Goa Trance) I still have fond memories. However I was too young to have any kind of income at the time to buy any releases. So, in the recent years i started collecting some of the old material (the cheap ones, let's not get crazy) and hunt down the tunes that I loved. One of the most influential labels was React. And here is its first CD released. Proper oldschool Belgian techno. Every track is gold. P.S. If you have any compilation series to recommend I'm all ears.

thanosp81 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Entry #25 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Reactivate-Volume-3-Tranceteria/release/88094 Another solid release in the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanosp81 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Entry #26https://www.discogs.com/Various-React-Test-Two/release/39681 Fast forward 3 years. Gone are the years of the Belgian anthems. Here we have a mix of Techno, Trance and House. Feels a bit disjointed which makes sense since the React Test series were samplers with tracks from various releases of their catalogue.

There might be the word techno in its subtitle but you will only find Trance tracks here (and from now on). And all of them are at least decent with most being great. A solid release.
