Yeah, that's the definition of clear, isn't it? You think so, what made you think that? I failed, again.

You're obviously on something and onto something. Keep on taking whatever it is you're on and write something a bit longer, maybe a thousand pages or so, and don't come back here until you're finished. We will be eagerly awaiting your new groundbreaking insights into the alphabet and it's subconciousness interdimensional matrix connections to the intergalactic liberation front that is the psy-trance scene. See you later!

Intriga and Berestez, haven't heard of them, what tunes and/or releases should we look for?

Yeah, Slinky Wizard will never ever happen, but Bus, not impossible. We saw the unexpected return of Graham Wood with the 1998 sounding Blowfish project in 2003, and there was a Bus tune released on Iboga in 2002... Oh, I wasn't aware of that one, it does indeed seem like something worth waiting for!

Wow, that's good news, I kind of expected Koxbox to go downhill without Ian Ion, but Frank and Merv, that could turn out to be a great combo! Circuit Breaker on the new Röyksopp album is addictive! That's another great combo!

Congratulations, you have been officially disqualified from this thread. Here's what the original poster wrote first of all: and they have NOT been announced that they're going to be released. So, don't mention Derango for example, cause we already know that we'll have an album soon. ...and put on some pants!

Well, I can understand you don't want a Slinky Wizard or Bus album, you're probably still enjoying the Hypersonic, Vibe Tribe and Void debuts.

Bus Gappeq Neum Slinky Wizard (I know, it will remain a dream, but still...)

It's not a review, it's the promotional material...

Goa is a subgenre of Psychedelic trance. Goa focused on the eastern vibe, mysticism, revelations through psychedelics, that kind of thing. Psy focused on weird music in general. I guess you could say that goa is the religious cousin of the post-modern urban Psy. The best link is the compilation releases of the cutting edge label back then, TIP Records. Listen to their colour compilations (yellow, orange, blue) and Infinite Excursions and then compare it to Phosphorescent, 3D, and the TIP Singles compilations. The Phosphorescent compilation made people speak of psy-trance instead of goa trance. Phosphorescent was one of the most important compilations back then. It might not have been the first compilation to show case what could be called psy-trance, but it was the compilation that brought the sound to the masses.

At the first couple of listens I didn't like this album, after a month or two I gave it another listen and fell in love with it completely. This is actually one of last years best albums. I fail to see how some say it's not psychedelic, cause it is, all the way. Sure, it's not the in your face psychedelia a la Pleiadians, but it's the kind of warm and deep psychedelic vibe you would expect from anything Nick Barber (Doof) is involved in. This album does infact have Doof written all over it. If you're waiting for a new Doof album, you should give this one a chance. There's lots of good melodies (yes, good melodies!), warm atmospheres and depth through out this little gem.

It's a tribute...

I think it says more about where "psy" is heading than it says about the hard dance community.

Kind of hard to judge based on just one tune, but my first impression is: 90's rave. I bet it goes down well with the teenagers. Could you dig up a link to an entire mix?

It had to be said, well done.

Recently released: Chronica Chapter 2 Aspara

The label was speaking of their artists, you said: "a 8 year old would do better music". I don't have that much time to waste, sorry.

Here's what you wrote in the stop the flood thread yesterday: Then look for something with more quality. Your rooster is of such a low standard that a 8 year old would do better music. You complain about people bashig artists but you're doing the same thing yourself. Get off your high horse or live as you preach.

Recently released and far above average: V.A. - Apsara - Suntrip Magnetrixx - Wired Midimiliz - Non Standards V.A. - Chronika Chapter 2

Yeah, right.

One hour earlier you wrote: It's ok to critisise in a constructive way but to always have to listen to "annoyed" people about our music is getting very annoying to us artists. "Suck in general" doesn't strike me as very constructive critisism...

Try the Vatos Locos album from last year, lot's of Doof in there. Then there's an upcomig Third Ear Audio (Doof + Earthling) album.

Um, ok, so you did't know the secret then???

I was only talking about your compilations. It's still a flood. In what way does your doubled sales change my opinion about your compilations? I believe: - there are too many labels, artists and releases for the scene too support. That is, there are more releases per individual now than there was in the 90's. - low quality releases, just because your running label you can't expect people to buy your releases. If you release crap, and I happen to think you do, people won't buy your releases. now how about providing us with some hard facts about how MP3 and artist are killing the market. I'm especially interested in knowing how artists are the cause. My opinion will change when you release quality compilations. Good luck i the process!
