The well-known in psytrance scene Holymen started a very good series of compilations called Enigmatic World dedicated to different countries and their psytrance favors. First of all theese compilations shows differences in psytrance all over the world, second thing - they all are very good!

Today I will write a bit about latest of Enigmatic Worlds - Enigmatic World Brazil. Holymen made it together with Bishop and it includes very energetic and positive tracks from Brasil both night and morning style. Many new artists and some well-known like Holymen himself are compiled into nine track CD.

CD includes guitars, electronic sounds and very nice rhytmes. I thought that full-on is dying, but I see right now that I was wrong - full-on is still here and it's rocking my house! If You like energetic part of trance - this compilation is for You!

Even though it is not sunny today at my place I feel like tripping to Brasil right now. It was a few months right now that I did not hear any new good full-on sound (new album from Cyrus The Virus disappointed me a lot) and now I feel happy!

Enigmatic World Brazil is not a deeply tranced compilation, it is more party-oriented and that is good! Because I think that Brasil is a big party place. I think that Holymen showed us South America in its best view - I like it! Like it very much!

Surfing the net I noticed a very familiar, but forgotten project name: Shiva Shidapu. Oh the shame on me! How did I forget about one of the first project of Erez from Infected Mushroom? So I did a quick search for their music and found some very nice tunes from middle 90-s.

Shiva Shidapu are Erez Aizen (now a part of Infected Mushroom) and legendary German goa DJ Jörg Kessler (founder of Shiva Space Technology). They made a lot of cool tracks in pure goa trance and such great ones like Spiritual Healing should not be forgotten! Other cool tracks like Power Of Celtics were later remixed by Infected Mushroom and other groups and included in their albums. But I would like to remind You about one of my favorite Shiva Shidapu tracks – Aquamarine.

Aquamarine has very deep goa sound comparable to People Can Fly from Astral Projection. It cloaks your mind with soft bass line and a diverse sound palette. Such tracks simply blow out my mind and I can’t do anything about that! Track is quite simple in terms of musical composition, but it only intensifies the effect. The best time to listen to Aquamarine is night lying in bed with big headphones on your head. Or at the full-moon party (:

Sorry guys for being inactive for a while - I'm currently changing my job and so have a lot of work. Next week will be a little vacation for me, so I will post new reviews about new compilations such as Solaris and Psychedelica Hungarica and a lot of new albums from Shift, Human Traffic, Tristan and many others. Well, maybe not every review planned will be posted next week, but that will be massive update anyway.

Also I have plans to write some stuff about non-commercial tracked goa trance by demosceners around the world. I think that not everyone knows a lot about those talented guys and it's time to show them to the world!

Good luck, happy spring and let there be sunshine in your heart! Will see You next week!

Last year was a really bad year for BNE - they did not manage to release Vicious Delicious on time, just the same with Open Society from Astral Projection. I'm just curious why Astrals switch to BNE isntead of TIP/Trust In Trance. Anyway Open Society should be released somewhere this year. I bet for second half. And main track is already freely available for listening on band's MySpace, so enjoy it!

Hello! I will try to make this community interesting for everyone who loves goa and psytrance. We will have forum, blog, news, reviews and, of course, a lot of fun! Also I would like to mention that I'm russian, so my English is far from perfect. Sorry for that in advance.

So, let's get started!
