I've been listening to IDM for years :-)

Internet rules us all

Why don't you just e-mail trevor and ask him?

The second track is Kailash - Higher: http://www.discogs.com/release/106788

Vladimir Kush's art is just great!

Satire on psytrance covers is not off topic, bring on the remakes.

Aphex Twin, Monolake, Kaito, Wisp, Murcof, Venetian Snares, S.U.M.O., Kosma, etc. Personally, I'd love to go to a party where they play techno, deep house, psytrance, jazz, samba, soul in a playful celebrating way. I'd love to have more singing in psychedelic music, but not the awful new age crap that psytrance clings to. Listen to the first four tunes on Tom Middletons second disc on Sound of the Cosmos, that's a nice mix of vocals, depth and vibe, and no generic ethnic samples ala psytrance. Another good example of deep psychedelic music is James Holdens mix Balance 005. I wouldn't mind some groovy house music, the 12 hour grooveless zombie stomp of psytrance isn't all that exciting. Something like S.U.M.O's remix compilation Rebounces would be very nice, and lots of celebrating vocals in that one.

Indeed, and that's why I want psytrance parties to be replaced by psychedelic parties. I want the focus to be on the experience rather than on the label. There's lots of fun and psychedelic music out there but it's not getting played at psytrance parties because it's not labelled as psytrance, and that's just stupid.

I'm waiting for remakes of that cover, where are they?

I've never understood what's so special about that album or other Asia 2001 releases.

...and Void is bad for you.

I recommend Adham Shaikh and Tim Floyd's Drift album. It's electric guitar, but not in a rock star wanker kind of way, more of an outer space sound, I'm positive you'll like it.

If this is your first Vibrasphere album you've probably fallen in love by now. If you on the other hand have followed their development from the first singles and through their previous two albums you probably will not discover any surprises in Archipelago. The sound quality has improved and the percussion is a little bit snappier. As far as the tunes are conserned, you get the great downtempo tunes and the solid uptempos. This is indeed an above average album, but as with most artists that focus on improving their sound while sticking to an obviously great and tried formula there's always the chance that the listener might feel satisfied with previous excursions, at least that's where I'm at. Looking beyond my own preferences I think this album might get some well deserved attention beyond the borders of progressive psytrance. Such an development might push the Vibrasphere sound towards new areas. They've undoubtly mastered their sound technique, and now it's about time new territories be explored.

I liked their previous two albums a lot, but their new album is lacking the playful vibe and madness of past efforts and that's why I liked EvsY. Yet another disappointment in 2006.

I see what you mean, thing is I don't find myself in a flood of continuous good releases I want to buy. I really want to like that album a lot, there's so much potential in it, but it just doesn't click so to speak. The previews I've heard of the upcoming album are a lot more exciting though.

What? I've bought several albums that I've had as mp3 for several months, even years.

My hope for this album is suddenly a bit higher. Btw, the second track could be translated to Koxbox vs Transwave, it's hard not to get excited about such a combo.

Yes?

Conclusion: Play pop full on and you'll get stomped by the lord of dance and destroyer of worlds, Aum Shiva!

I'm guessing you're new to the Internet, forums and irony, welcome abord!

Random selection: Age of Love - Age of Love (Jam & Spoon Remix) Cass vs Slide - Opera (Excession Remix) E-Rection - Out Here We Are Stoned (X-Dream Remix) Koxbox - Life Is A Gas (X-Dream Remix) Saafi Brothers - Internal Code Error (X-Dream Remix) Sandman - End of the World (Green House Effect Remix) Shpongle - Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness (Esionjim Remix) The Infinity Project - Stimuli (Hallucinogen Remix)

I was at a small outdoor party last weekend and had a pretty good time. At around 4 in the morning some dj took over the decks (or in this case the laptop) and started to play all these crappy full on remixes such as Seek and Destroy by Metallica etc. I decided this was my cue to leave the party. As I was about to leave the police showed up and shut down the party. I couldn't help but feel that in away this was warrented because of the bad music selection. Was this pure coincidence or a divine intervention orchestrated by the lord of dance, Shiva almighty?

Yellow Magnetic Star's Mandala of Sound album was pure new age crap. The previous album was excellent, but this one, yikes. I had to return it.

Good point, the real world truely sucks! :-)

Psyshop, no complaints.
