I don't know, but IMO their is no 'right' time, the artist is constantly improving everytime he is experimenting new equip or geting to know them better or experimenting new things.
Again if I was going to release a new album and I thought that I hadn't improved since my previous album then I would be worried.
But nevertheless mike has got a great point when he says that the album has no story, not only that is wicked when you are home listening to it but when you are hearing them playing live.
Also their are loads of new stuff coming up, some of it is just a clonning of previous artists and some are completely new stuff. But quality comes with time, and IMO to keep an artist motivated he has got to be realsing new stuff and playing in new places hopefully abroad.

But there is the minimum - many new artists are just copying other sounds, and it's ok - it's a way of learning. You need to have a certain level of knowledge and experience before you can innovate. The problem is that too many artists release their first album before they reach that threshold.

Mike, Trip, shahar:
i never said my opinion on this matter, i just stated the facts as i see them... read my words more carefully.
i agree with you 100% that in actuality its not a good thing (this is my opinion now btw) for all the reasons that you have listed.

i fully agree Mike et al on principle.
as a very broke struggling wannabe artist i do however sympathise with the artists who release perhaps a bit too early .... its money isnt it! and much as hippie types might like to drone on about it not being about the money, commercialism=bad, sales=evil, etc, i have a newsflash: liking psytrance doesnt make your landlord suddenly stop charging rent, or your electricity and heating bills disappear.
i know if someone said to me "here's 2000 euro (or whatever), make an album" i'd damn well do it. i might know i would make a better one in a years time, but i'd just do the best i possibly could with that one.
one small point of disagreement-
"samey-ness" or similar sounding tracks does not equal a bad album.
imho Cosmology is one of the greatest true *albums* ever made (in *any* form of electronic music, not just goa/psy), and one of the reasons for that opinion is precisely how 'consistent' and 'coherent' the whole thing sounds. it souds like it was all made on a small handful of equipment, stretching that equipment to the max, concieved as a single 60 minute journey.
