EAT STATIC - Science Of The Gods
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/05/eat-static-science-of-gods.html
This remains one of my favs', if not *most* fav, from these guys. Dabbling in genres where few in the #PsyTrance scene dared to tread, especially in the #90s (Juno Reactor exempt, of course).

Закрываем глаза и погружаемся!
Been a long time since I heard some psytrance that gave me frisson - and this track ‘Nova’ from Ace Ventura & Protonica does just that. Complete with classic sounds that take me right back to early days…

An artist known for laying the melodic goa vibes on thick opts for something a little more... wibbly.

FILTERIA - Live With The Lag
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2025/04/filteria-live-with-lag.html
I've seen this being bandied about as one of the best #GoaTrance albums of recent years and, yeah, it's good, but am I missing something? Seems rather same ol' as well.

Ah yes, a #GoaTrance alias of most ridiculous pomposity. I do miss those.

Hurray, another Suntrip CD! Sure are a lot of them in a bunch right now, huh?
Blast from the past!
Khaiku - Spellissimo is a great release from back in 2020, with straightforward modern Goa -flavoured psytrance delivered to you in 4 simple steps.
Big tents & big festivals. Yes, he was there playing this.

Various - PSYCHEDELIC GOA TRANCE
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/various-psychedelic-goa-trance.html
Unsure whether you should listen to #GoaTrance or #PsyTrance? T'was a question folks even back in the day were confounded by. 
Then, as the little mexican girl postulated, we asked "Why not both?"

COSMIC DIMENSION - In A Special Kind Of Space
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2025/01/cosmic-dimension-in-special-kind-of.html
Yay, a Suntrip CD I mostly enjoyed front-to-back! Granted, I can't recall too much of it after, but that's almost a given with most of these now, and at least it made a positive impression as it played. Music made for in the moment!
