  1. Sounds like he was extremely insecure.
  2. Training Day Great performances and solid dialogue. Predictable as hell though, I don't get the hype. Maybe other movies ripped it off so many times that there was nothing unique left?
  3. I really can't recommend any anti-depressants. Just a branch of synthetic drug to lure you in with it's promise and leave your wallet emptier for no concrete benefit other than an addiction and maybe an empty head.
  4. Armin became big during trance era, pushed it forwards(To somewhere at least) and what does he do now? House. Why? Because it's in. Pathetic. His opinions ain't worth shit. Ott and Sphongle are also like the easiest relatives to psy to chew through, really. Their music is very approachable by anyone, which is why they are so popular compared to many acts.
  5. Filteria - Sky Input Remixed EP Self-released Bandcamp 2013 1. Operation Pulse (Remix) 09:24 2. Stars (Warped Remix) 08:21 3. Navigate (Pitch Down The World Mix) 09:09 4. The Snuggling Snail (Live Remix) 09:02 5. Ultimator (Ultimated Remix) 10:07 6. Operation Pulse (Live Remix) 11:19 Well this one went under the radar a little bit. Over a year and no review thread? Welp. Operation Pulse (remix) & (Live Remix) Well the Operation Pulse remixes are a little more uneventful, some of it's parts have different arrangement and some different details. The Live Remix has the original climax with a new take on the melody itself which makes it a bit more exciting but generally I didn't really care for these two remixes. The original is such a masterpiece there's not much you can do with it honestly. Stars (Warped Remix) Stars Starstuffing in a black hole instead? If you felt the original wasn't crazy enough he literally warped the melodies sound like they're being eaten out from inside. It's a lot less light as this remix is filled with darker moments of bubbling acid or otherwisely unnerving atmosphere. It's mental, a worthy successor to the original, though now I'm interested in hearing a version of just Stars. Navigate (Pitch Down The World Remix) Well first off the mix on this sounds very muddy. I don't know if this is intentional or just age taking it's toll, but it sounds much less sharp than the rest of the mixes. It's basically navigate with pitch adjustments and generally slower tempo. There's also many interesting parts like a break at 4:44 where he's just messing about with a knob and some high pitched sounds. And then a part after 5:50 where it just sounds like the track is literally dying, very funny. It's an interesting take on the track, but it's also holding back on the remix part imo, it still generally feels like the original track whereas I would have prefer ed to see it completely broken down, especially the main melodies. The Snuggling Snail (live remix) This one reminds me of how Etnica remixed their tracks, albeit could use a tad more grooveyness. It really goes out on creating more madness on top of the existing framework. A great example is a part at 5:29 where the melodies are coupled with wicked pleiadians-esque synth. Same goes for the ending. Another interesting track. Ultimator (Ultimated Remix) This one was already released and I've heard people say it's the best Filteria track ever. It very well could be! Also maybe one of the most intense remixes ever too. It's spaced out, it's emotional, it's maximal, it's clever and has perfect production. If you took best bits of Heliopolis/Sky Input era and crammed it into one track this would be the result. Absolutely an epic grand voyage'. Generally it's what you'd expect from a bunch of remixes (remastered might I add). A new(er) take on an old track. So how does it hold up? For the most part, definitely! What else? It's only 6€ and all funds go directly to support the artist. Worth it. http://filteria.bandcamp.com/album/sky-input-remixed-ep On another note I would love to see this happen again! Maybe some other unreleased tracks (like that one compilation that had 2 tracks that were never released) and remixes from Filteria AND KOB? I'm sure there are more and I'm also sure there are people ready to eat it up.
  6. 3500~ give or take. I'm a hoarder... Brb calling the cops! You will not go unpunished!!!
  7. I've succesfully used tryptofan supplement or melatonin for sleeping. Both are natural medicine that your own body excretes, though the former took some days to start working and the latter should be careful with if you have signs of diabetes or heavy sugar intake. Also have you tried exercising? Weights / cardio?
  8. Mindprobe live at alternatiba is wicked good! Check it out guise.
  9. That sounds incredibly silly. Nobody record it?
  10. All I ever wanted and then some.
  11. I'd be pissed too if it was like that here but rather making me violent it would propably just depress me. June we had a measly 12,6 celsius average but at least July was really warm though the heat finally ended a few days ago and I already miss it. Fucking northern countries and their shitty coldness. I really wanna go live somewhere warm one day, although I must mention I don't mind winter and snow but last year we barely had a winter, it felt like we had autumn until it was spring again! What!
  12. We missed this thread for last year. Share your favourite other electronica albums from 2013-2014! I'll start with Tycho - Awake(2014). http://www.discogs.com/Tycho-Awake/master/665381 More so post-rock idm electro fusion but very enjoyable music.
  13. He's actually the guy behind Iceman. http://www.discogs.com/artist/1061797-Eyal-Ben-Or I've been told he can do a whole lot of things musically, though I hope he produces more goa.
  14. You shouldn't have deleted your reviews though!
  15. He can't criticize this compilation because people are dying and starving somewhere? Really now? Give me a break.
  16. Very cool! I wish other labels did this sometimes. I had to cut back my buying but getting nice deals I can't say no to.
  17. 3,994 posts I wish I was there when you still decided to post. Like which ones?
  18. Lyctum has some tracks that might fit the bill.
  19. Well I think simply replacing the weaker remixes would have fixed it. Pretty sure all these artist have stuff that is great and not released. For example I really think the total eclipse track should have been "Hit and Run live in Athens" you can hear here http://unreleasedgoa.blogspot.se/search/label/Total%20Eclipse . Now that sounds like a snazzy take on the Hit And Run melodies rather than just crazy knob twisting. I have more thoughts on the quality but I think I'll just write a review rather than just post here.
