Radical Distortion ‎– Psychedelic Dreams

this is definately one of my favorite "new school" goa albums that have come out.
simple, uber melodic, euphoric, exhilarating, and dance orientated from start to finish.
i say simple, simply because this is an album that, rather than push tons of elements together to make very complicated pieces of music, rather take just a couple elements and perfect the way they sound together. theres nothing wrong with either method of making music, but Radical Distortion has perfected this one. definately an album to look at if you like any sort of goa/psy/party trance!

the build ups of both psychedelic dreams and especially star dance illustrates perfectly how such party hits should begin in my opinion, and always bring goosebumps to my skin. another song id like to particularly mention is dying earth, a downtempo song that shares the same sample as psychedelic dreams, and seems to take the same sounds and melodies from it as well, but slow it down and make it different enough to make it a legitimate and well made piece of music. a perfect example of the same thing is Astral Projection's "life on mars", and then their own remixed and downtempo version of the same song, "still on mars". the only song that i do not enjoy very much of them all is the remix of communication, which seems to lack the beautiful melodies and sounds that pull all the other songs together nicely.

in any case, albums like this is why i personally believe that new school goa is much better than old school goa, and is only growing. i find myself returning to listen to this album often, and it never lets me down.

notable tracks: 1(!!), 2(!), 4(!), 5, 9(!!!), 10(!!) (considering what i said above)
