Holy shit - that track-list looks no less than amazing.. Really! And who better to compile something like this than the chill-godfather PKS... Nice one... I'm really looking forward to this one... ;o)

I'm pretty sure the version on is the original... You can find the Eat Static remix on the Flying Rhino compilation Singularity or on the Green Nunions EP... DP

Well, there are certainly many different opinions about that... I don't really like it, but hey - if you do, that's great!

You're right.. It's on Utopia 2 by Crystal Matrix Records... I have no idea why they swiped the best part of the Delta track and renamed it Anjuna Beach... Sounds dodgy if you ask me... DP

Awesome news Jannis... ;o) I'd prefer a double album - and if both versions were available I'd but the double album - as I think most people would. You get more for your money with a double album... Looking forward to the Apsara compilation.. When is it out and who else is on it besides Filteria? Oh, and about fav'e remix... There is no doubt in my mind: Filteria - Ultimator (Ultimated Remix) Best thing I've heard all year! So frekkin' intense... You HAVE to get that released - it would be a crime against humanity if you dont! DeathPosture

Green Nuns of the Revolution - Ring of Fire From the Rock Bitch Mafia album... And released on the compilations Tantrance 2, Goa Spirit 3, Chakra Blue and later on Goa Classix 2 DeathPosture

And that's why I used the word mainly in my original post... I don't care much for CD-Rs... I don't get paid for my reviews - the only perk is that I get to keep the CDs - so naturally I prefer retail copies over CD-Rs... DP EDIT: Forgot a few words... Doh!

Well, I'd say about 75% of labels send out full retail copies... And that's cool - I'm a raging collector myself, and I want full retail version in my collection - or close to retail version at least... CD-Rs are also used yes, but that's mainly when the retail version is not ready yet... In my case, I ask for the label to send me the full retail version once they've got it - if I'm reviewing a CD-R (dosn't happen too often though...) DP

I can only speak for myself, but I have never sold promos, and I'm pretty certain that the stuff that Damion lists there, are not promos (well, unless the ones marked as promos obviously)... The ones he sold me are full retail copies... DP

Yeah, I could imagine... I recently got Paypal which also opened so many new doors... (will ruin me eventually, but what the hell...) DP

I bought Namaskar from him... But it looks like he's got another copy... HUVA Network is very cool too... Same with Healer if you like ambient/chill... For progressive Inspirazzia is also a steal for £5! DP

I was thinking about that... But I figured, there was a good chance it would derail and go offtopic from time to time... Which it already has, but that's cool... So I deciced to stick it in the offtopic forum to prevent any naysayers from complaining... EDIT: Oh, if you want to buy from him, here is his current list: http://www.psy-forum.co.uk/psyforum_vb/sho...ead.php?t=28973 ... Nice bloke indeed - recommended! DP

That's right... I'm real fucking broke, but I can't help this terribly addiction to add stuff to my collection constantly... Must... fight... temptation.... Nice one... I also bought a couple of CDs from him today... Will post them in this thread once they arrive... ;o) DP

↑ All explained up there...

Monikotz => Yes, 9 CDs for €10 - including shipping... It's true! ... And five of them are even double CDs, so actually it's 15 CDs... The remaining three I haven't listed are absolute crap (Hampenberg album + Turn up the Bass vol. 6 + The The - Dusk)... But considering the price, this is one of the best deals I've done in a while... I found them on a Danish acution site, and the seller had ABSOLUTELY no idea what he was selling... I think he was just happy to get rid of that demented music... My luck! ;o) I love it, when I stumble across good deals like this - it makes it all worth while - the countless hours of browsing the net + crate digging, etc... Traveller => Which shoes is it? The cool oldschool sneakers you showed a pic of recently? DP

Nice one Ola... ;o) Oh, I forgot... I also bought the new single Scare Yourself from Danish rockers DAD yesterday... Bought it in a local record shop... Good stuff! DP

Ah, nice... Look forward too it... It's great! DP

On various other forums I frequent, there are threads where people post the new stuff they get all the time... 'Showing off' one might call it, but I think it's fun to see what other people have bought/traded/received as a gift/promo/whatever... Of course, I'm talking about original music/movies here... No point in listing what you downloaded lately... But I know there are quite a few collectors here, so I hope you'll post your recent finds here in the future... ;o) Also, tell where you got it - if anyone is looking for the same item, and you found a cheap shop or something... I'll start: ---- Yesterday I got these babies in the mail... Won them for less than €10 on a Danish auction website: * V/A - Destination Goa - The Second Chapter (Why Not 1996) http://www.discogs.com/release/46534 * V/A - Destination Goa - The Fourth Chapter (Why Not 1997) http://www.discogs.com/release/36156 * V/A - Cosmic Cubes - A Cosmic Trance Compilation Vol. V (Sub Terranean 1997) http://www.discogs.com/release/294353 (Mosty crap, but there are Planet BEN + Dimension 5 tracks on it) * V/A - Alien Airport Episode 1: Paranormal Activity (Velvet Inc 1999) http://www.discogs.com/release/77837 * V/A - A Taste Of Nephilim Vol. 1 (Nova Tekk 1999) http://www.discogs.com/release/121843 * X.I.S. - Electric Rites (Nephilim 1998) http://www.discogs.com/release/257391 + 3 worthless euro-crap CDs that were included in the lot of 9 CDs... But for less than €10 it was a pretty damn good deal, I think... I'm happy! DeathPosture

But the Tegmatekk page is still down? Damn service-providers! DP

I'm seen them live twice... Once after BP Empire and once after CV... Both times they played mostly new stuff - from the newest album... And only the last 2-3 tracks were old classics... So there's a good chance they'll do Supervisor tracks for the most part, and perhaps finish off with a couple of old classics... Not worth a ten hour drive IMO... DP

Sounds good so far...

Killer Buds – Interfiber Skunk Hi-res cover: front + back Artist: Killer Buds (Brazil) Title: Interfiber Skunk Format: CD (jewel case) Label: Ketuh (Portugal/Austria) Cat. #: KTHCD009 Distribution: Arabesque Date: 2 May 2005 Track listing: 01. 07’15” First Step 02. 06’22” Optical Activity 03. 07’05” I Got The Virus 04. 07’22” Interfiber Skunk 05. 07’33” Spells And Temptations 06. 06’56” Anti-Gravity 07. 07’37” Orbital Interference 08.07’17” Goa Bombay Cartoon .m3u-playlist: http://tinyurl.com/c5wp6 (all tracks) Review: Brazilian acid-samba-freaks on the loose! 9th release by the Portuguese-born, now Austrian-based label Ketuh Records… We’ve seen an increase in quality as the label grows stronger and despite the high release frequency, it’s always a pleasure popping a Ketuh release in your sound system… This time it’s the debut album by the Brazilian trio Killer Buds… Enzio, Tarcisio & Marcelo are Ketuh regulars and their tracks have stood out on all the compilations I have reviewed so far… So I’m really looking forward to this full album… Let’s light up and see if The Buds can pass the acid test… Let me take you thru the tracks… #01: First Step “Drugs – always kills you in the end!” The first step is… First Step! The theme of the track is a very characteristic snarling tweaked acid-line – hurtling relentless through the cosmos… It twists and turns alongside a fast-paced bassline somewhere in between full-on and darker night trance… After the climax the track is in full effect – sweet! A nice track, but somehow I feel the Buds haven’t fully opened their goodie-bag yet… #02: Optical Activity Really trippy intro here… What the fuck just happened? The twisted lead from the first track also sticks its ugly head out here - ahh, consistency… Nice! The Buds uses stereo FX to the fullest, and it’s a pleasure to enjoy the twisted music jump from one speaker channel to the other… And back again! This is a very visual track – with rapid changes in pace and direction… Hectic maybe, but trippy as hell… The build-up and take-off here is impressive, but towards the end of the track it gets a little too hectic even for my fucked-up taste… But a nice track nonetheless… #03: I Got The Virus Another brilliant intro… When was the last time you heard scratching in a psytrance track? Cool! The lead melody is frenzied and again the acid is running thick here… Sprinkled around are loads and loads of little twisted voice samples and psychedelic FX… I like the acid-stabs and the brilliant breaks here… Oh, and the scratching is pretty refreshing too… Tasty track! #04: Interfiber Skunk Time for the title track… Again there is consistency from the earlier tracks – certain riffs and themes that correlates… Nice! Another crazy, in-yer-face raging acid-track here… With a ton of psychedelia to mess with your head… The rapid changes in pace and direction ensures that you don’t get bored…Check out the very cool build-up/extended climax part - guaranteed to tear any dancefloor apart… Pas the bud this way dammit – this is excellent Brazilian skunk! #05: Spells And Temptations “Ahh, my dear listener. Have you ever been hypnotized or put under a spell? Have you heard of mysterious disappearances?” Do not give in to temptation! After a lengthy voice sample I cannot identify we launch into yet another full-blown psychedelic acid-stomper… Acid being the keyword here – the track is soaked in acid-lines, naïve melodies and one break/climax part after the other… And a pounding bassline to even things out… Massive track! #06: Anti-Gravity We stay in acid-country here… Hints from the previous tracks are still present, and yes you’ve guessed it – this is pretty much the same well-tested formula… Hectic, multilayered, fast-paced full-on with enough acid-leads to satisfy a grumpy old trancer like myself… One could argue, that the Buds are repeating themselves now… Squeaking to the max, formulated full-on - throw in a handful of fast take-offs and add a head bob-friendly melody – and we’ve got a winner! Good, but the novelty is starting to wear off now… #07: Orbital Interference And it looks like they got the message… this is different… If only a little, but still different… The intro is very atmospheric – and once the track is in full session, the kicks are harder… We still get the Killer Buds madness that I really like, but with a harder edge now… The break that begins after the 4th minute is long enough to for everyone on the dancefloor to start screaming, whistling, jumping for joy… And the Buds really know how to tease this listener... Well done! Nice track! #08: Goa Bombay Cartoon This track was produced by the Buds in corporation with some dude who calls himself Cosmonet…. As with the previous track the style here is a little darker than the first tracks on the album… But rest assured, this track has the Killer Buds trademark stamped all over it… Twirling acid-lines, melodic leads and funny twists and turns all over the place… The cartoon link is evident with all kinds of funny FX and samples… Very funny and trippy! Stand-out track! Right – this is a good album in the familiar Ketuh style… Killer Buds have found their style, and if you’re familiar with that, you will not be disappointed… This is acid-galore to the max! Full-power relentless psytrance in a multilayered, complex frenzy with crazy samples, rapid changes in pace and oddball turns and twists… And for a debut album, they’ve done damn good! There is consistency between the tracks which generally is a good thing – but it also has the negative effect that too many of the tracks sound alike… The novelty starts to wear off after 5-6 similar tracks in a row which can be a problem when it comes to home listening. But it’s a positive drawback really… On a smaller scale it’s kinda like they’ve drowned in their own success… But if you know what you’re getting into, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the album… I do! It will also come in very handy as a DJ tool – there are enough bombs here to tear any trance floor apart … To contradict myself even further and add to the confusing, I’m also slightly disappointed that this album only runs for about 58 minutes… Another couple of tracks could’ve been fitted in easily – perhaps even a chilled track to finish things off!? It’s not the best album I’ve heard this year – but it’s still a good, fresh psytrance album drenched in acid… Acid fans unite! I would pick this album over a formulated neo full-on album any day… No doubt about that! It’s Ketuh quality after all! Enjoy! Favourites: 3, 4(!), 5(!), 7, 8(!!)
