    You Are My Salvation - Aetheris / Reminiscent [Forescape Digital]

    I like Aetheris, but god damn is Reminiscent an absolute unit of a track. It retains the best parts of YAMS' remixes for stuff like The Lost Temple, Pocket Universe, or Ground Control all of which I'm a big fan of. Also a fan of the fact that @Sleeping has remained allergic to the 4 minute...

    TF Best of 2025 - VOTE OPEN + Your thoughts on the year?

    Shackles those may be, but at least they are designer shackles. :P

    TF Best of 2025 - VOTE OPEN + Your thoughts on the year?

    Cheers. I tried to make it varied enough that it wouldn't necessarily overlap too much with other lists. In terms of content, I initially had about 30-40 tracks in the A side of the special mentions section alone - which would've doubled the size of the final thing -, but that was...excessive...

    TF Best of 2025 - VOTE OPEN + Your thoughts on the year?

    (continued from above) A9. Etnica - Machine Elves [SpaceWarp Records] This is definitely the last of the goa tracks in this list, but it was too good not to include. Comp opener for SpaceWarp’s VA – Girei. A10. State Azure - The Light That Remains 40-track electronica album, contains some...

    TF Best of 2025 - VOTE OPEN + Your thoughts on the year?

    Not much to say about how 2025 has been, other than the fact that January lasted for what felt like half a year, and the rest went by in the equivalent of 2 business days. Plus, as this post is going to be a repeat of 2024 in terms of LotR-ness, there’s no time – by which I mean characters – to...

    Aly & Fila feat. Jwaydan - We Control The Sunlight (2026 Remixes) [FSOE]

    Now that's a track I haven't thought of in a long while. Wild that the original was released what, nearly 14 and half years ago? If it's a pick between these two versions, I agree with @Freezer that Ilan's remix has the better sound. If I had to pick between all versions of this track, the...

    Goa & Psytrance

    Ephedra & Ohm Mind - Acid Road to Rhum Closing track from Liquid Pattern Theories, out today under Goa Madness. Especially fond of that build up that starts at 5:35.

    Astral Projection - For All Mankind [Iboga Records]

    They've done CD releases for every single other album, even for those also released on vinyl. I assume maybe they're waiting to see how the batch of vinyl sells before announcing the CD too? AFAIK Diggers also sells CDs.

    Astral Projection - For All Mankind [Iboga Records]

    Damn, I lived to see this. It actually happened. So far, of the new material, the title track and Himalaya (last one from the album) are the highlights for me. The closing track in particular reminds me a bit of Unbelievable Technology, AP's own psybient rework for Tryptomine Dream. As for Into...

    Goa & Psytrance

    MFG - New Horizon (Remix) Comp opener for VA - Transmission, out July 31st under Global Sect. The remixer isn't mentioned anywhere that I can see, so I assume it would be Absolute Hypnotic, the one putting together the comp. Besides one other track, which isn't really my cup of tea, samples...

    The 'Currently Listening' Thread

    Boom Jinx & Jaytech ft. Syntheticsax - Milano Milano itself was released under Anjunadeep back in 2009, but I don't think the bootleg above saw any kind of an official release. Still, one of my favorite Syntheticsax 'collabs' of that era, though Oig 2010 and later Wandering Thoughts weren't...

    Enigma State - Of The Essence (Artist Album) [Transtate Records]

    Don't know about others, but I still have a CD reader thing in an old PC, I mainly use that. Re: personal note, you have to click 'Include a message' when buying something: It'll open a text box (limited to 300 characters) where you can write whatever it is you want to. I've mainly done this...

    Enigma State - Of The Essence (Artist Album) [Transtate Records]

    Great to see the album launch day is finally here. The second half is my favorite so far, and it's awesome to see there's some breaks included too. I've replayed Essence of Life, Should, and Discover Way quite a few times already. Did get a bit sidetracked with all the replaying, but not to...

    Federation - Something to Dream About [2011]

    The overall vibe immediately reminded me of Black Tide (which came out the year after this). Wonder why they didn't just release it through Feed The Moth. Sure, the label got formed - or more accurately, had its first outing - in 2013, but still. It's a great track, and definitely would've fit...
