  1. That reminds me, I miss the old psyreviews articles. Such good laughs.
  2. Yeah that's what I was saying when I first found out. Such a waste!
  3. I don't mind, there's a lot of dubstep out there that I enjoy, just gotta look beyond the trash.
  4. http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php/topic/45284-tranceform-records/?hl=tranceform http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php/topic/23232-tranceform-records-information/?hl=tranceform I guess the label guy just didn't care enough. Last we heard about it was in 2006.. Also if he really did print the comp, whats the point of not even trying to sell it off for last bits of profit? Sure it would take some time out of your life but you could even outsource that to someone else. And especially now that Suntrip has their own shop, why not just deplete the stock to them? Seems fishy.
  5. I also found this track a while ago, dat growly acid! So powerful.
  6. Probably a pleiadians track, they might think we are the same species then.
  7. This was a better idea. No subforum for radi, yet.
  8. There's quite a bit of cool stuff you can find on that site anyway but I hadn't heard of this guy before. Good shit
  9. Great Shake wasn't a total fuckup! Aside from that one track? It kinda was. Especially that spanish track, wtf?
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8KENJoDt0Q Pharaom Shelter 10 no doubt. It shot up to an instant classic for me and it kinda appeared out of nowhere. Good, bad? Go on!
  11. It's a pretty album I have to say. The first track is exactly what I was hoping! Agressive and hypnotic sort of goa with insane melodies. Just wicked! Right after it becomes clear that the rest of the album is quite a bit more uplifting, good no matter, but I felt tricked after the first track! A lot of good tracks with an extremely unique style; very blissfull and heavenly, just about exactly what we had heard before on the compilations from Suntrip, some maybe a little less agressive. Every track has an immaculate production and really careful craftmanship. Not a whole lot of bad things to say, however, I did feel like Mindstream Continuum was a bit of a filler. Though I would like to know is there a plan for an album with this style of nebula https://soundcloud.com/nebulameltdown/nebula-meltdown-mindgroove ? Maybe not Suntrip since you guys already had an album but.. I really want one!
  12. I finally watched Revolutions again now. While I would agree with many common criticism's people put on it, there's is more depth to it than what seems on the surface. The 3rd movie basically makes it clear, although subtly(unlike say the architecth scene), what the mythology actually is; instead of what it was supposed to be(Matrix as a 1 film). I never even paid attention to the whole fact how Neo suddenly sees the machine world as this yellow light and that theres three dominant colors going on all the time, Blue (physical), Green (mind) and Yellow (spiritual). They even go as far as to put the christian cross sign on your face the moment Neo "ascends", for what I believe, just to make the average movie-goer think there's something more going here than just ending the war - that something more was accomplished. There's enough credible sources to own up to whatever the watchowskis did, they did it deliberately, and the whole mythology notion isn't just something people make up it to be even if it wouldn't have had deeper meaning (like often they tend to do that). The problem of seeing this is that the watchowskis themselves dont tend, or even want, to get involved with the public. This creates distance to the intended meaning of the movie, because they don't straight up tell people whats supposed to be what and you know how that goes. They have experessed their desire to stay out of the limelight, and it can be seen just for the simple fact; how many of you actually knew Larry Watchowski changed their gender? I was oblivious to that before I watched this movie, still thinking it's the brothers, like many others, even with recent movies coming out from them. Weird. Maybe I do have some bias towards the Trilogy as a whole since it was a big thing to push me into goatrance, which arguably changed my life, and it came with a visual and an artistic style that I heavily connect with. I never really looked into the story that strongly but as I get older these things pique my interest more and more. Still, that said, I do think the Matrix Trilogy as a whole is underrated, even if some criticism is justifiable. Anyhow, I just loved this little piece of dialogue in revelations. "Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?"
  13. Why does it even exist is the question I ponder.
  14. Soooo elysium is not gone from the scene afterall? I'm intriqued. Samples sound really good, too! Is there more coming or is this just a one-time ep?
  15. Good points there, although the information-age was a complimentary system to the other form of control. Guess we'll just have to think this was the best solution in the lore or that the robots just werent all that smart, pick your poison. And I have never heard of the movie you mentioned.
  16. Oh yes lol. I didn't pay attention to the "subtleties" word that you had there.
  17. This is irrelevant, very much like many other stories that are told today, their ideas have been known for ages. It's the medium and it's influence that matters, value is more subjective. Like saying Star Trek's warp drives dont make no sense. It's science fiction. Was explained by the architecht, according to the universe of matrix, humans mind couldn't cope with the utopian world. As was extensively explained about having more than one The One. A failsafe mechanism and another way of control. That is on the eye of beholder but Cypher was generally considered the bad guy, he accepted the fake world, as everyone is of course an individual. As a big part of the theme is choice, the machines don't even allow humans to have it. Obviously Morpheous had made a mistake with taking cypher out - or cypher made a mistake of wanting out. They should have perhaps investigated his personality before unplugging? A human mistake in the actual story, not bad writing. Wanting to live in a fake world or eating slop in the real world comes with an ethical perspective. Matter of the fact is, the fields were disgusting, what the machines did do to the humans was disgusting. One of the stories in the Animatrix delved even deeper into what went down and how horrendeous it was when they took over in "the second renaissance" Again whether you agree with the philosophical questions or way the story approaches it, that's just in the eye of the beholder. The biggest factor that I believe matters is, again, the medium and influence it brought it to. Matrix movies were huge blockbusters. Watchowskis could have easily just ignore even trying to create a story that can make the viewer think and just go that dumb action movie route, thing is, it was special for it didn't. What I also noticed is most complaints about sequels were about them destroying the mythos the first movie laid to the viewer, but in it's lore and universe the mythos was bullshit as explained by the architecht. Whether you think it's a good story or not, that's all about opinions again but fact is, they wrote the whole story before the first movie was even made. Why should they? That's again what made Matrix so special. Obviously people will disagree with the way they did it but it still at least tried to push some boundaries with the medium back then.
