You are so right. I love to listen to it when the trees start to bloom here, the smell in the air, sunshine and a chilled jog in the park are what this is for me Very good album by S-RANGE - and thanks to technology it's readily available to listen for everyone, free and official: cheers

I just thought I'd share this with you. There's tons of tutorials, courses and other useful things out there, but rarely you come across something like this, which I percieve to have Universal Value for producers, fans and mere people who are interested alike. Have you ever come across something like it? The only thing I know that comes close is the "PLAYdifferently" by Richie Hawtin who did a performance and an explanation video for a mixer or something like that... But is there more? A masterclass by a Psytrance Producer for example? Are there any? I'd be curious to hear your feedback if you like it or not...

Insane thinking that Ra's album is already 25 years old. Great job to do it justice with a proper re-release

Hi there a bit of a pity that you are the only one posting in this thread ... you seem to be doing the same that I did on TranceAddict: a thread to note down good trax to "collect" (I did it not for Rap though)... I do not have psytrance for you, but I can recommend you the album Red Seal - Black Ops, it's phenomenal ... they fusioned rap/dub with psybient. Specifically this: or Oh and you might like H.GichT ... because I think you understand German ... but it doesn't matter much if not I also recommend to look there by the way - also for the H.GichT:

... sorry ... I was wrong. In many points. But I am now checking back in, wiser and with a different mindset: I can write this now because I do NOT have to go to work tomorrow. I took a Hiatus for two months. Much needed, given what recently happened. Unfortunately my dad did at the end - very recently - not make it ... he's no longer with us. But at least he held on pretty long - with a clear mind. Meaning he fully realized that he became grandpa and such. My last words to him were that he'd get a medal if he made it out of the hospital again - but if not, I forgive him too. I do. My daugher is okay, but it was no smooth road. Many obstacles in my private life, some nervous physicans mentioning that the development is a bit late -- I do not care, as long as we have to see the hospital only every few weeks that's fine. They are not too nervous, but they kept us ever cautious ... maybe it's an usual practice. I have no experience with this before, I can only guess and my gut feeling is "moderately positive". Work was devastatingly stressful for me, company taken over, new things to do on top of the usual ... and I had to take time off in the end, which is where I am now. All the stuff was getting to my health and I am not fully recovered, but it's looking better. Unfortunately this means I have to rethink my life right now and my spending habits - but I am living in a reduced compound now, space-wise, and we have to sort out some stuff anyways. I will be able to do this bit by bit for the next weeks... I will not be too euproric about anything I can do on this forum in the future, I have learned that. But I will be able to support it again, as it is now or as it might go on Will post again (soon this time ) Cheers

Hello Tashira ... very nice to see somebody from the Old Ones. There aren't many, but yes, some are still here. Posts like this are what make me smile. Really good that you found back here. Nemo will forever be remembered in my thoughts because he's responsible for a comment about one of my (nowadays) most significant artists: Anthony Rother. He said, he got to talk to him and the way Anthony creates music is one of a kind. (I later got to know what he meant ) Cheers

It happened again - but it was easily fixable: Server restarted, all is well. cheers

No Crowd Strike, we suffered same fate like ETNOSCSOPE ("raw remains of a shattered drive")...

You may have noticed that Psynews recently was down for an extended period of time We had a shattered hard drive and needed some time to recover the data. Huge thanks to our admin Mars that the data was saved. I hope everybody is fine and well. The forums are up again. cheers RTP

Dear everybody, the poll is open for more than a month now and I don't think we'll get many more votes - letting it stay like it is is the winner I think we will be going with that for now.

ohhh this is great news! I'm so happy to be back and get these news first hand. Astral Projection belongs to Goa Trance like Psynews does

soooo .... I see that not many are hyped by this - I am not sad. I like the forum here with classic functionality and we don't need to hop with the hype -- just be informed that this Banano thing exists and I use my alias "RTP RECORDS" when enqueuing so if you ever drop by on Jungle TV it's likely that that's me. Especially when a lot of S-RANGE is in the queue. Other than that, there are no Psynews projects planned over there and this topic will stay without new posts from me. cheers

Hello people and all lifeforms on here, so we have these "reactions" available to posts since a few years ... the feature seems to be used quite a lot and it seems to be a perk, that the reactions are anonymous: you never know who reacted in which way. This anonymity function is inherent and can not be switched off. (I speculate the reason being that you can not delete a reaction even if you delete an account, so that's why they are anonymous and will always be kept that way.) Some do not like that concept. I have looked into that function and can tell you: it can not be removed entirely. The "Like" will always be available. But all other reactions can be removed. I'd like to make a poll - what to do with it? I identified 3 directions: Shall we keep the reactions as they are now - or screw them and only keep the "like" - or enhance them with something more (that needs icons which need to be custom made or obtained royalty-free). What is your tendency? Thanks for your votes! I will let this stay open a bit and wait for your REACTIONS

Hi yeah, we were a bit understaffed and I had my reasons, feel free to check out the Status thread if you're interested. Back now and cleaned it up quite vigorously (at least what seemed reasonable to me, which was most). It should be better from now on that we have a little people more on the team Thanks at everybody for not letting the drama escalate too much, you handled it reasonably, all of you No, we will not make it a rule that a review needs to include links The links always help the people that are interested - and it is nice to play the embedded video and read the text here, I give you that point. But overall, I still put good writing above all and that's well done by the Doctor here, so: no critics. Cheers!

Hello again, little did I know ... life is super (super!) crazy and turbulent for me these days ... I just wrote that first post, read the first replies, thought a little about what to say - then: boom .... I have been through so much it would fill an entire thread! But I put it short: Two family members in hospital ... still in hospital (it's been months). One of them is my daughter, who came over 3 months early. Second one is my dad. It looked bleak, really bleak and it also affected my psychological health. I recovered, but it was not easy and still is far from it. It's all so easy and shortly said, but I don't wanna spill out all my personal details in a post, I did enough of this in the past and while it would do me good, I do not have the energetic resources to process all the replies ... don't get me wrong, you are all great, but this is something I want to share only little. The situation is definitely a lot better now though and the outlook is positive again So if anybody wondered about admin absence, there you have the reason. Returning to it now though, I am happy that this forum exists and that I can write that here. No, I will not retire Psynews (if Mars keeps the server alive). I will embrace the requests from people who offered mod help and we will continue on, past 2024 and beyond I have a way better outlook now, a new private workplace under construction and I will now finally be able to be here more. And I also have begun to post Videos again on Jungle TV, which is a sign that I am well
