Okay, I'm looking for some tracks with good female vocals. Not good singing, but good voice, you know ... and preferrely sounding arabic! Hol Baumann - Benares ... that is the best example I can give of the vocals I want, because the female in it sings with an arabic touch to it ... wonderful Etnoscope have some nice female vocals too ... the best ones in the direction I search are in King Size Rizzla, they have also a good arabic touch! Bluetech - Prophetic Sines has also some nice female vocals ... no arabic touch here, but I like them I do NOT want female vocals that sing a text ... and I don't want vocals like in Talpa - The Moon ... they are good, but they don't sound arabic and the voice is somehow ... well, I don't like it... Does anybody have recommendations?

Nhjo did it again

To me the samples don't sound as bad as expected though...

Entheogenic - Dialogue Of The Speakers

big BIG minus point... I hate it already when labels use the "oh so modern and fancy" CD-ROM/computer support technology in any way ... and now this! Tracklist on a CD-ROM ... what when I have a discman ... shall I print it out or what? stupid...

Goa (Old Skool) is great music. Can make me travelling. However, it makes me too mad. Three tunes, then my mind is overloaded. Psy (New Skool) can go on forever without my mind overloading - that's because it's simpler and all that ... I know many people complain about that and I say it shouldn't get too simple either, but keeping in mind that I'm rather into progressive and scando I must say that I'm rather a psy than a goa fan...

Paragliders - Oasis and Hypnotic Beat - Ocean Of Passion ... I was running on the beach in Italy to that - back then I still was into trance, lol ... it's years ago ... sweet memories

Silicon Sound - Pure Analog. I loved it! And still like it

Hmmm... What about New Age? I classify New Age as ambient music - and it's not psychedelic. Same with medieval ambient, nordic atmosphere music and dark ambient - however dark ambient can already be psychedelic, so I'm rather not talking about the "dark ambient" that people know on here, but rather about dark depressive music ... also spheric dark ambient ... but well, that's already on the border and a question of definition...

Yes, yes ... they are already nearly too many ... if more people are in that store you can't turn around

Milky Way Records ... lol, I was there some weeks ago ... well, the CD section is not too big, just two shelves (it's actually a clothing store too and this one's bigger ) ... but you can find some nice stuff there. Meanwhile they must have got a restock (especially prog AFAIK), the guy told me he'd get one but I had not enough days in Stockholm to await it Be careful about the prices though, a CD there costs 199 Kronas, that is relatively expensive... I too can recommend a little second hand CD store in the "Slussen" Subway station area ... I forgot the fucking name of the lane, but it's when you go up one of the staircases up the hill at Slussen (you can't miss that) and behind the first row of houses there should be that lane if I remember correctly, if not it might be the second, but it's not far away of the staircases ... that store is chock full with CDs (you can find everything there, psy included, I heard he should have an even better vinyl section, but I didn't check it out) and the guy has a sellout (at least he had one as I was there ), you can find many good CDs for a cheap price there!

POSER! ... and a very stupid pose it is ... fluoro versus paladin sword ... fucked up this world is... Gothdamn!

wow

well, that's the point... I can't see either why a tape should have such thing as a "sampling rate" ... I say it's like vinyl, only magnetic and not mechanic! A continuous stream, no sampling. Sampling is digital. Cassette tapes are analog - like vinyl... Detailed info would be appreciated though... I don't expect any tape experts here - music nowadays isn't on tapes anymore, it's CD and Vinyl... Yes, Cinos ... we all know that dusty vinyls don't play well, that is because the signal is represented in physical state - tiny engravings on the record ... dust alters the physical way the needle goes - therefore the sound gets worse with time... CDs don't have that ... but the sampling rate isn't high and therefore you don't have the original frequencies! Vinyl have theoretically the real frequencies!

some S.U.N. Project stuff... they did a really good live show with many metal guitar pieces in Vienna this year

Wow, this is extremely well put. I had to quote that. That's the essence for me. And that's also what I don't like about Shpongle and why I like Entheogenic much better...

ENTHEOGENIC. My mind doesn't get Shpongle ... it's true. And Shulman is similar to it and ... urk, I can't stand that, sorry ... but I like Shulman more than Shpongle at least. Entheogenic all the way for me. Spontaneous Illumination is a great album!

Okaay ... now here comes a big question: Many of you surely have heard of the discussion Vinyl versus CD, that CDs have a bad sampling rate and only vinyls actually reprodruce the true original sound because they don't have a sampling rate/it's infinitely big. (people who are not familiar with this might be interested to look here: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question487.htm ) However, my question: what "sampling rate" do cassette tapes have? Do they actually have any at all? I mean, the information is stored in magnetical way and such ... but how is it represented? Are the values of certain frequencies transmitted magnetically? I don't think so. In fact, I really become more and more of the opinion hat it would be logical that the cassette tapes present information in a way similar to vinyl - only not mechanically, but magnetical, thus I come to the conclusion that they too have an infinitely big sampling rate? Anybody can enlighten me? DON'T tell me what pwnz more, I know tapes might be lame because they lose quality fast and such yadda yadda, but I just wanna know about the sampling rate - if tere is any... please...

I do not know Etic so well, only one track from a compilation ... but judging from its sound and the fact that rain described it as "fullon with progressive elements" it's IMHO not appropriate to compare Lish with Etic. Lish's Free Fall is completely progressive to me ... good progressive indeed, but it's not like Etic. Not at all...

ask him what he thinks the scene is developing to ... and if he thinks that it's a good thing... and ask him where he sees the world of psytrance in 5 years...

Awww... Spirit Zone biting the dust? That's one of the least things I expected ... I first thought it's a joke, that's why I never looked in here ... come on, they were a big label and had some nice artists ... Shiva Chandra, SUN Project, Ooze ... and their Global Psychedelic Trance series was even avaliable in commercial stores where you can find Bravo Hits and shit ... how come that they go down? *shakes head* ah btw ... where can I still get such sellout CDs ... anybody knows?

okaaay ... if you define MOS as minimal then my vote clearly goes to minimal - because even MOS sound quite maximal to me at times... Mmmh ... actually something in between is okay too ... maybe even some maximal at times for special high energy moments ... but overall seen I'm more on the minimal side

would be cool ... I'd really be interested in what you would think of Smiri Se for example

Koxbox for me. They are ... just my wavelength. They have so much experimenting and such a cool forever changing sound... Hallucinogen n all that other stuff is so psycho to me ... Koxbox not, maybe a bit, but it's much better than with the rest...

You probably "just don't get it" as you say it. Seriously. My favourite tune - well ,this is already beyond favourite as this tune is so magical I find it totally impossible to put my feelings to words as I heard this first and still I can feel this wonderful magical feeling when hearing it - is SMIRI SE by Matenda and that's actually nothing other than beatless ambient for it has not a single kick nor a single bassline bit. Just floating. Yes, that's it ... the beatlessness makes it sound floating, like if I was flying or if there was energy flowing ... gently, steadily flowing flowing, no harsh breaks or any beat, nothing, just the flow of energy, just this great flow of energy which will forever go on and on ... the cycle of life actually ... and ... well, I'm going too far already... You just don't get it...
