Well, not a bad idea, let's turn this thread into something else while we're waiting. The discussion about DS seems just right because it's something you don't expect. You would expect naked women or something like that ... but this? It's almost creative. But for now, I think you should all go drink some coffee Oh and before somebody asks me for a medical degree, I just want to explain that this was my 2 cents to bring this back on topic ... so don't take the above too seriously. I don't have the time to lay out my arguments for the next 2 pages straight ... THANK YOU Mr. Jisnego for this: I don't even find the track so bad even though I agree that it's not very epic or anything. Anyway, I too think it won't come. And with "it", I mean the album. at least it won't come soon. They're just going to stretch it out so long it will be released after the "era of albums" so to say. I mean, released at a time where albums are not so much looked after anymore. It will come when nobody expects it. That's how it's gonna be. And then, it will not interest many... But for now it means wait.

I see the decision's made and I fully agree with it. Good luck

A nice track with some good progression ... and it also has got the direction, doesn't leave the listener in mindless intensity. It gets better and better and the last third is really good. Only question to me is why it takes ages to get there I give 7.5 out of 10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHI1TBCz09I

^ this. The problem is, I live in a loud house. I hear the neighbor when he's shitting. What's really awful though is, that I hear them snore too. No joke. there's times where I hear people snoring. In the house. It's totally awful at times. Earplugs do take some of that out, but sometimes there are cases where I can forget it because it just goes through (or it goes via the vibration of walls and not the noise itself -- yes, I am sensible enough to notice). I have been to the point with the noise where I was lying on the couch in the other room, earplugs in, then headphones above them and playing running water sounds (for hours) on youtube just to make me sleep ... which eventually worked, but not for long. The problem is, the noises aren't even loud ... people would laugh at me if I complained. But it causes a lot of stress when I can't relax That leads to the fact that I suffer from insomnia every now and then .... and I had it the week before again and had to get some benzos from my doctor again to make it go away. Fortunately I have already been off them again, so it was just a brief episode... So ... when I don't have insomnia or anxiety attacks in the night that keep me awake - one of which happens every two weeks or so - then I just lie down and am asleep in the next 15 minutes. Sometimes ambient music helps to fall asleep even faster. I used to do it to Sync24's album Source pretty often. And when I did it, then I usually didn't even get past the second track before I was gone. That's when it goes well. Sadly it doesn't always...

Maybe try Padmasana -- as a recommmendation for something similar to Ishq... Also: I second the recommendation of Banco De Gaia.

So I finally found this... And I read through it and I must say thank you to you guys for letting the public participate. It actually feels good (to an extent -- surely it would be better if there was no argument) to read this discussion. I don't wanna share my opinion on it now, what has been done has been done anyway ... I just find it good as an input for others who maybe also are planning or are working on a release to possibly avoid the pitfalls of misunderstandings like this. And it also shows that the scene is not happiness and candyfloss all the time -- even though we know that, in these moments it's tangible.

Hello RAH Sorry mate, I can't help you with the mixes, never knowingly downloaded one from you in the last years ... and the ipod with all my old mp3s has crashed aswell so no luck there. Glad to hear you at least got two of them already though... I like to quote that ... it's quite true for me too (except the marriage) when it comes to the challenges ... but I still try to manage to stop by here (more than you guys know, in the back, in the maintenance rooms of this ) and to not lose completely the touch to this music. Although it's hard ... at least it does feel so for me. Hell, I haven't even bought any new albums for the last 12 months. Only thing I ever recall was a single...

A great track! Thanks for sharing the news

(Hi, in case some of you wonder where some posts went, I did a cleanup of the stuff that happened here, just that you know.)

Hi, do you mean you were able to solve the problem with the mobile skin? If so, how did you manage to do it? About the like button, I remember we decided in the past not to use it. If people feel that it's time to change that, we will discuss it internally. I'll keep you updated if there's anything new about it.

Yeah I somehow always thought he would make it. Felix Baumgartner is a crazy fellow ... in this documentaries they showed on that TV station Red Bull owns they showed what this guy already did, like, getting dragged by an airplane and such. It's remarkable though that the suit did indeed protect him that well. Guess it's also because his entry speed into the atmosphere was much lower than an asteroid or spaceship ... so he didn't have to experience such great heat and stuff... I'm actually often here since I got admin tasks to do ... but I don't have so much time to post anymore

Edited the topic title. Depths/No Hitz! will know why when he takes a look at his 3rd pic in the second post. I know that many people like to post also pics that show more, but please do still keep it as now and don't post too much nudity

Yes. Sunday is going to be the next date as far as I've heard. Let's stay tuned

Yeah, that's Felix Baumgartner, a fellow countryman of mine ... and I do have to say it makes me proud that my little country is relaitvely high up in the news with this project as of now... They call it the Red Bull Stratos mission. And I'm definitely of the opinion that it's doable. The Red Bull guy has a TV station financed by him around here and there they brought numerous news about the project and as I was watching they've made that suit pretty durable and Felix is a tough guy, so I'm quite confident that he's gonna make it. The weather doesn't matter to me so much ... yeah, it delays things but it's fine ... he's going to do the jump when the time's right. Just ooze the moment of fame a little bit more and then he'll do it and I wish him the best of luck

Oh no... A mate of mine, who went home from Ozora already before the weekend, told me how awesome it was ... and interestingly he stressed out the total absence of cops in his narrations. turns out they were not absent - just preparing. He was damn lucky to get out of there -- actually it must have been quite soon before the cops pulled in... I'm actually really happy now that I didn't go. It's sad for the festival and an awful experience for the visitors when the cops come I mean, not even if you aren't involved in the drug stuff at all, it destroys the vibe totally. But it also might mean that next year the likelihood is higher that they won't come ... which makes me think that I might go next year

I just found this: http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/full-version-skin-problems-when-accessing-from-mobile-client-r37711 Basically the problems with mobile skin are known bugs that will be fixed in 3.4.x, they say. Guess we'll have to live with this for now ... but I'll see, maybe I can find another mobile skin some day which doesn't have that behavior or I try to change it myself. Best advise is to stay off of the mobile theme for now unless told otherwise

Thanks very much for looking into this and coming up with a solution, Rotwang. I could not have come up with input so fast. This is really useful -- and thanks to the feedback from Kosmogony, we now know that it works and can recommend it to others who come to have the same problems. I can confirm the "Change Theme" button doesn't work in the mobile skin for me either. At the moment, I don't know why. Maybe there is a fix ... or maybe we should try with a different mobile skin. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks guys that you like he new dark skin. It now officially replaces LimedOut -- which was quite buggy actually. Hope this one's not, at least I couldn't find any bugs in the last days. If you find anything irregular with the new skin, you're welcome to post it here. Oh and be aware that you better not accidentally select the mobile skin, it's quite hard to change the skin back in that case as it doesn't work as desired with it at the moment... I don't wanna take that one out of the list though as it's quite useful for mobile use.

haha, you're right guys ... and even though the track matters most of course, I can't restrain myself when it comes to Whisky ... it's becoming neurotic

Nice music ... but I can barely watch Avi with that cheap Grant's Whisky blend in front of him ... how can he be drinking that It makes me nervous, and I mean seriously. Someone give him a good Single Malt, quickly! SCNR

That's quite nice actually. Much nicer than the Subaru-looking flyer design at the beginning. Sorry, but it just looks cheap to me. Anyway, it's good to see that video. So it might still be worth to go see them live some day

...but she mentioned a personal issue, you know? That's totally inacceptable behavior. You can't behave like a clown and mention personal issues in TV disucssions Or -- at least -- bring an umbrella if you do By the way, what happened at the re-election? "Greece votes for the Euro" I read in the newspaper. How will it continue in that country?

Well, Basilisk would have that in my opinion Good luck on whatever you intend, Basilisk

It's still available for me. But you don't miss out on so much in my opinion. It's not a bad mix or a bad track, but I found Open Society better... It's not even that I want to compare with old stuff. But it feels like Astral simply could do better than this.

Beautiful pictures. The first one and the string art look most awesome.
