Seems like the Raja Ram cover is very influenced by Erlend Oyes DJ Kicks cover: I guess it goes without saying that the Erlend Oye disc is the winner. If you have a thing for Erlends voice (the voice of Royksopp's Poor Leno among others) then this disc is a must have.

Grow up or shut up, your attempts at insults are just childish and pathetic.

I noticed there's a new Nuclear Ramjet track on Aeon Records latest compilation, Refresh. The tune, Folding Time, is a deep, psychedelic, atmosperic and slow moving progressive masterpiece I recall there was rumours of an upcoming album on Aeon Records but that was maybe a year ago and I haven't heard anything since then. I checked Aeon's website but I couldn't find any information. Any rumours out there?

A lot of people in the scene and on this forum find Tribal Vision's brand of progressive trance to be psychedelic, me included. Psy-trance has become a very broad genre by now, we've got everything from the crazy style of Deamon Tea and Gi'iwa to the dark music of Acidance and Manic Dragon to the polished progressive sound of Tribal Vision and Iboga, and tons of other styles inbetween. All these subgenres tend to have their own type of covers, so it's hard to find a lowest common denominator for psy-trance covers. Because it's the "good covers" thread and I find it to be a good cover.

Enemy? LOL. You're just too much. You're the one claiming to be one of the psy-trance grandmas, if you can't back up your claims you should just shut up, that's pretty obvious isn't it? Otherwise any of us could claim we're the grandparents of psytrance, and expecting us to obey or conform because you claim to be some important person isn't very cool. As far as I can recall you told us in your first post to this forum what we were allowed to do and not to do, that's not very symphatic if you ask me. If you crash into a thread and provide flawed arguments then you should expect to be flamed. Your argumentation never went further then "since you're not designers you are not allowed to criticize the works of designers".

Yet another great Tribal Vision cover:

Hey Grandma LT, I'd really like to know about your contributions "which helped to build up this whole thing the past 15 years".

There's already a thread for this release: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29485

Yeah, tunes celebrating the birth of baby Jesus is exactly what this scene needs...

Now how should such a remark be interpreted? It's indeed a great track, might be suitable for Kethu Records?

You could also try Yellow Magnetic Star's Son of the Light. It's a widely overlooked album, but still a truely deep and beautiful gem.

I don't want him to release the same album over again, but that means he's ending the Shpongle project because he's out of ideas not because it was intended to be a trilogy.

Well, it's not as badly masterad as The Muses Rapt, but you might like Green House Effect's "Global Warming" album anyway.

I want to know why it was only meant to be a trilogy. "It was conceived this way" is not an sufficient answer to that question. I find it odd to end Shpongle after only three albums, and I believe there's more to this story. If they indeed intended for this journey to only encompass three albums I believe we would have heard about that prior to this last release and as far as I can recall I've never heard any of them or anyone else claim that Shpongle is a three album project only.

The interview doesn't answer the question...

I've been a Shpongle fan ever since Rumours of Vapour on TIP's Infinite Excursions compilation and I can't recall I've ever heard Simon Posford or Raja Ram (or anyone else for that matter) state that Shpongle should only be a album trilogy (I know that's what they're saying now). Why exactly was Shpongle only meant to be a trilogy, are there any facts out there, or maybe rumours?

I think you misread me, I am aware of his output prior to Slinky Wizards and Bus, but Slinky Wizard and Bus are his most "recent" and important projects. All classic and excellent stuff. I seriously doubt that. I've never heard that rumour before and considering the importance of that track and it's huge success it seems very unlikely that Atmos would be able to take credit for it alone if Gus Till would have been involved with it. I think your opinion is shared with a lot of people on this forum, me included.

I thought it was the same thing he had done on the last two albums...

You should get the first two Sky Dancing compilations on Dakini, great stuff. Be Where Now is indeed a good track but I prefer A Distant Star, among the best stuff I've ever heard. Btw, there's a new Makyo album just released, it's called Swar Mandala.

I do understand that and I do not ask for extremely high resolutions, just resolutions high enough to see some details. At the current resolutions you are using I'm only getting a small hint of the talent. True. Any way, great stuff.

I don't print the cover art, not yet at least, but I do appreciate the cover art a lot. The resolution should be as high as possible though.

Great stuff, but the resolution is too low to be able to fully enjoy it.

Exactly what happened? Some background information would be nice.
