Correct!

Yes, Ubar Tbar's Macrometasomakosmos is the correct album. Here's a harder one: The album is a blues for the city in which William Gibson's Neuromancer novel takes place.

How about this one: 89 weird tracks on one album

Re: The Crazy Ducks cover and related crap A Swedish film critique that used to work on the Swedish national television recently commented the commercialization of his former employee in the following way: "To see what has become of the Swedish national television is like discovering that a woman whom you grew up with has become a prostitute." I think the same can be said about our so called "alternative" scene these days.

Just about everything released by them (as X-dream or as one of their many side-projects or collaborations) between 1996 and 2002 is incredible and groundbreaking. On their own or in various collaborations Marcus if of course the most interesting of the two, but Jan was a part of a Children of Paradise, a side-project that maybe never got the attention it deserved. Their Urban Alien album is an amazing mix of the the successful X-dream baseline and über psychedelic melodies and atmospheres.

A lot of psy people enjoy ambient if it's released on a psy label, because then it's automatically psy, and they usually think it's excellent and groundbreaking although it has been done many times outside of the narrow-minded psy scene. That's the so called open-mindness of the psy scene.

Well, try looking up psytrance in your regular encyclopedia. ...and the keyword is not universal but participatory. Moral of story: if it sucks, improve it.

"Neo-goa Trance can be dark or light or happy or sad or emotional or dry or funny or quirky or silly and fun. All in the same song. And it is OK because we are human. We are vast. We contain many parts. The goal of Neo-goa Trance is to touch all of those parts in the best possible way." Whatever that neo-goa trance thing is I want to listen to it! Any recommendations?

It is indeed one of the best 2006 albums, but that's not saying much since 2006 sucked. Viewed in a brother perspective Mean Between is still an album that stands out among the rest.

A Hedningarna remix?! Which track would that be?

Look at these prices: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZpsychoticQ2esounds Anyone willing to pay £400 for Dimension 5 Transdimensional?

My first thought was: Wow, finally a good Twisted cover, then I remembered he moved to another label...

You should install the Audioscrobbler/Last.Fm plugin.

One of those Shape Shifters did release a psytrance album back in 1998: http://www.discogs.com/release/241584 Hugh Sharpe, one of the members, actually posted some links to his retrospective mixes a few months back in the promotion subforum.

All Oxygen Records covers are great! If only the music could match the covers...

That statement is false

Yes, we are all aware of the good old times and were we are at the present is light years from that. Please, bring back the good times instead of looking back at them! We want more old school Transwave, incense and Shiva stuff!

A fight inside the club because he's wearing a football team t-shirt? It seems to me like you denied the wrong person/persons entry...

I have that experience quite frequently, most recently with Rena Jones' excellent debut album Driftwood.

1. Nuclear Ramjet - Mission To Sedna 2. V/A - Beneath the Surface 3. V/A - Peace For The Wicked 4. Triac - Mean Between 5. Shen - Outlines Best Label: Native State Records 2006 overall: Less then 10 psytrance CDs that I've found worth purchasing.
