  1. Well if he means the melody (which you can hear clearly at the break at 2:43) then it SOUNDS like acid, with some nice effects over it. But that's just speculation. I think so too ^^
  2. Don't you mean a 303? The only 'high pitched' thing I hear is acid..
  3. Great review, thanks for enlightening us!
  4. It's just crazy how such good music can be so unnoticed through the years. I heard Moksha again last weekend at a party, one of those tracks that's pushing you to your limits and beyond - really bad for your body actually, I could've faint any time when I stopped dancing I'm listening to In The Stream now, also a superb track, lovely breaks with beautiful melodies and soundscapes.. Ahhhh.. bliss
  5. Forest, you can hear the quality in milliseconds, unlike most darkpsy productions I hear. Some favourites are the dudes and dudettes from Schlabbaduerst, Sanaton Records, the guys from Derango, ... Xenomorph's recent stuff is also very good, not the same as his oldschool tracks but still very fresh.
  6. Woah that's nice! Do you got a bigger version? I've got a widescreen resolution, want to make it my wallpaper
  7. Various - Cyнцокрети [aka Suncokreti] (Ultiva Records) Various - Gungfly (Sanaton Records) Various - YggdraSounds II (Yggdrasil Records) Blue Planet Corporation - A Blueprint For Survival (DAT Records) Eraser vs Yöjalka - Virtuosi Di Quosi (Faerie Dragon Records)
  8. 3/5, the goa tracks are great, but the trance tracks are a bit too simple to my taste. But I can understand why most people think it's so good, it's got a special sound and feeling. Looking forward to their/his live set in a couple of weeks! (he was great at Aurora this summer!)
  9. Indeed, it's like choosing the best oldschool Astral album. I can't decide One of the best bands still alive and definite the best in their genre. Saw them live twice, both quite an experience!
  10. Hahaha I thought the same.
  11. I got this annoying problem for over a month now; I can use my SH-201 perfectly as a midi controller, but the sound of it in FL can't be recorded.. Here's the set-up: - synth connected to PC via USB - synth connected to mixer (which is connected to my aplifier & monitors) - PC connected to mixer - SH-201 Editor (the vst) can read all the things of the synth (for example which lead from which bank I use) -> I can hear the sound from my pc and the synth, only it's not getting recorded in Fruity when I want it. Got the latest Asio4All version installed, works. I really don't know what to do anymore :-/. I heard some more problems about FL and this synth, but so far no solution. Would be very very plur if someone can help me! Peace.
  12. They sound a bit too crispy for that deep goa kick imo, but thanks!
  13. Audiorealism Drum Machine (ADM) is a really good vst for creating 606, 808 or 909-like kicks and percussion. http://www.audiorealism.se/adm/adm_announcement.htm It's pattern based, but you can turn it to Notes mode. Is-a very nice-a!
  14. Yeppah, good stuff. Like I said before; really glad there's someone who highlights that great period, without too many cliché's or cheesyness
  15. I watched his live-set at Aurora last summer, and it was just plain electro. Didn't even sound proggy. They play this kind of music at commercial electro parties here. It wasn't bad though, just not psy anymore.
  16. Hahaha agreed. What's up with darkies trying to be black metal?
  17. Yeah lately I don't rely on trailers anymore, most of the time it was not in the hands of the director himself but of the studios..
  18. On the Hado Records website there's a logo of CD next to the logo of a compact disk.. So let's hope...
  19. Long time since I've been exited to see a new movie, and I must say that I'm not disappointed! No need to compare it with Pulp Fiction (damn nostalgic oldschool people ), this one's totally different, luckily. Definitly one of his best, with such a evolving storyline and brutal images (what they do with Hitler! I almost feel sorry for him ) and tons of references to other movies and music (the introduction of the Jew Bear, with a nice metal riff playing on the background - nice ^^). The SS-officer did a superb acting job. Definitly a must-see.
  20. Libération Animale http://www.inpsyde-media.com/ 01. Kluster - Bunker Mode (8:39) - 143 BPM 02. Bloomen - Blink (7:43) - 143 BPM 03. The Grobians - Flatulent Swamp (7:02) - 146 BPM 04. Ka-Sol - Coudy (7:29) - 144 BPM 05. Procs - Coffin Kick (8:34) - 153 BPM 06. Taigan Sun - Barbro (8:00) - 147 BPM 07. Attoya - Paradise Found (8:52) - 152 BPM 08. Traskel - Alien Elbow (8:28) - 146 BPM 09. Zoon - Owls In The Moss (6:37) - 146 BPM 10. Money Cannot Be Eaten - Bird Flu Helpline (8:24) - 147 BPM Although it's the first release I bought from Inpsyde Media, I was really looking forward to it. It has some great names on the track-list (Kluster, Ka-Sol, Procs, Zoon, ...) which is a of course a good start for a forest trance compilation. It starts interesting, with Kluster bringing a slow but pounding track. A bit static, but with enough variation and a very dark (not DAAARRRKKK!) feeling. Perfect to start listening to some mad psytrance. Next is Bloomen, apparently a new artist in the scene. Just like the first track it's not really 'evolving', but this time there are too many sounds I heard before in other tracks - the more typical glitches, soundscapes and psyfarts. The same can be said of Flatulant Swamp, the third track on the compilation and the first release of The Grobians. Again you can hear a more modern minimalistic approach, and I can't quite say I'm a fan of that. Coudy, one of Ka-Sol's lighter releases actually (if you forget for a while about Fairytale), is number 4. Chaotic leads, hypnotic basslines, weird percussion, it just keep you going. Ending with a high pitched melody, it sounds a bit like a crossover between his tracks from Ghost Story and Fairytale. Very nice. Procs, an artist where you can expect what you won't expect, made a more uptempo track, with a very ehh.. Looney Tunes feeling . Lots of tribal elements and weird sounds make this a very 'amusing' and funny song - with the necessary integrity of course . The Taigan Sun track takes a while to really start, but around the 4th minute the party can begin. And please continue at track 7, where Attoya's Paradise Found speeds up the tempo. Not the most complex and original track ever made, but still good. Traskel follows the same course, but gets a little dull after a while. Now, the highlight of this CD: Zoon. He officially released only 5 tracks, but every single one of them can be described as the title of his first released song: Heavy Shit. Overwhelming soundscapes and twisted melodies take over and won't let you go until the song's finished; put on a rubber around your head because there will be some serious mindfucking! Best track of this compilation, and one of my favourite forest tracks! Money Cannot Be Eaten, a collaboration of Kiriyama and Someone I Don't Know, ends the album with weirdness. Though, not really in a good way. I've got a feeling they just put some random thoughts together. Not my cup o' tea. Conclusion: a bit dissapointed considering the good tracklist, but not a bad purchase if you only buy this disc for a couple of tracks. Plus it's for a good cause. Grrrrrreets
