it's the 32th...

I want to have your brain. Do you accept maestro express payment?

yep, that's why I really begin to dislike all that Timbaland hype And I dislike Nelly Furtado, because she's the image that my dislike of Timbaland projects on, because in videos you rather see her than him for obvious saliva-dripping reasons amongst male individuals in heat.

that will become a standard line, eh?

because it's so expensive? well, maybe, but there are the cases where you find some interesting stuff at record fairs ... some people have no idea what they're selling... improbable, but not impossible.

I don't get that "if you did" ... you mean owning or selling?

none of the artists involved should rate the work of the collab, simple as that Yes, three times yes, but that's something I assume beforehand. I don't need the unnecessary proof of the artist rating his/her work, I set it as obligatory that the artist loves what he/she's doing. And don't come with examples where this isn't the case, because I think it's the case with the stuff I like ... and even if not then I believe it, in my universe this has to be the case

I don't like speeches. If I ever owned that record, I'd sell it ... on here.

Well, I think artists shouldn't rate their music ... that's like an artist writing a review about his own album ... of course that wil be biased. On the other hand this too can be an artistic expression - to purposefully rate own releases 5/5 ... would be even more funny if he rated it 1/5

Try to hunt down old Dream Dance (yes, that commercial trance compilation) CDs. Mostly that kind of music can be found on them and they're mostly available for cheap in used record stores and such where trance kiddies sold their old CDs ... or maybe through ebay... You might want to give old Future Trance a go aswell ... my release of Push - Universal Nation is on Future Trance volume 6. Used to like that track a lot.

Regular trance is less "confusing" ... goatrance is more chaotic and psychedelic and therefore generally less listener-friendly like Lemmi said (well put). Trance has a more strict impression to me, goa has a more floaty one.

You got me curious there. I was expecting killa fullon, but that is not fullon. Interesting. Checking samples. Well, actually it's synthpop psytrance. Kinda. Hmmm... Okay, it's not good, but it's not that horrible either. I actually enjoy the samples of Proton Pusher and Everybody Atomic. Overall I wouldn't pay a cent for this stuff though ... won't even download it.

You sound a lot more chilled now than in the rest of your posts. That's nice

Maybe this guy confused the label Suntrip with Günther's song of the same name (you know that ridiculous song, do you?) ... could be well possible if he was a little trigger-happy? Whatever...

We should declare Skazi as dead! Then again that publicity only would help him... Anyway, it's evil to shock people like that. I had the prejudice that Lyon people knew what they are talking about when it comes to ambient

didn't they say they got inspired by Rhapsody power metal so much?

That's funny, because I'm a huge fan of Makyo, but I can't stand Shpongle. AYS is probably still better than the other two, but still, I don't like the "throwing all in"-philosophy. I want structure and meditative ambience ... Shpongle doesn't have that, they have chaos.

See, here you can see how different people's tastes are, because that's what it should do for me! It actually must put me in a state of bliss, otherwise it can never be a good track for me! That's also why I dislike emotional tracks. Vibrasphere's Archipelago for example ... I don't like that one very much. It doesn't put me in a state of bliss. So it's not good stuff, I don't enjoy listening to it...

Oh great, great! Then he obviously is alive! I think they'd state it somewhere if anything hapened to him. I already was really worried though ... I mean, it doesn't happen everyday that somebody tells you that one of your favourite artists is dead, does it?

That's a difficult one... I really can't say. Although just saying "either I like or dislike" is too easy ... although it is like that with me. It's not the production quality. It's not the psychedelia. It's not even the melodies. It's not the structure. Track doesn't need to have beginning and end. It's not a matter of the genre. And it's not - not at all - a matter of emotions in the music. To an extent it's originality. But only to an extent. It kinda much depends on the flow of energy. You know, music is energy. And I like the artists who make the energy flow wisely through my mind and through my body in a certain way. I often recognize this type of music where there's a long progressive track that's always and continuously and steadily giving energy, never too much, never too little. This energizes my mind and body in a way that is just perfect. On the other hand there are relaxing tracks which make my body relax and my thoughts chill just in a perfect way ... just like a good massage could do for example. And that's not even so far apart, because the massage as well as the music activate certain energy centres in the body. If it's the right ones, then the music is good. If there is a disturbance, it's not good. This is something that can't be measured in "psychedelia" or other criteria of music production, it's something else, something deeper. It also can't really be mesured with genre. It's funny, but I guess that's how it is...

Hello folks... Just came back from holidays. Have seen lots of good things. But also some bad ones. One of these was the "news" I got in Lyon from a shopkeeper who also sold goa CDs ... well, to me he seemed to know what he was talking about, not making something up, you know... He told me that Makyo is dead. That's right, he meant Gio, the head behind Makyo and - afaik - also the head behind Dakini Records... That has quite shocked me. I haven't heard a word of this anywhere. You can't find anything about this on the Dakini website or when searching Google either. And I really am a big fan of Makyo ... to me he certainly is one of the best chillout artists. It would be really sad if this was true Anybody knows something of this? Can tell if this is true or not? According to that guy who told this to me he's dead already since some time (months), it hasn't happened recently...

I lol'd I have said that already four years ago And - what a surprise - just at that time IM The Supervisor came out. Coincidence?

Murphy, chill The Kuala Lumpur sample is over 5 minutes long ... the rest over 3, so I think I have a bit of a right to base my opinion on it... And if not, well, I still do it, so you should live with it... That's an opinion, not a fact. You must be able to distinguish between the two. No, you are most likely not Unless you studied music and totally focus on techniques and that stuff and exclude every last bit of emotion. Which you don't. You got all stirred up because somebody else said something different. Well, I don't like the voice. That's how it is. It's not awful music, I just dislike the voice. Thus I won't buy the thing. That's it. Good for you if you like it. Good for me if I can steer clear of it. And everybody's happy

what's so funny? Well, yes, this is true. But as people always argue, "electronic music is produced differently" ... well, yes. Electronic music is produced differently! Time to drop this band thing where everybody does something else and time to make everybody involved on a same level, on the same things!

Okay I checked some samples on his myspace because I was interested... ...and the voice SUCKS No really, it does suck quite big time. As you compared it to Solar Fields I expected wonders, but this really doesn't come close. Not even remotely. It's not that awful, you know, I didn't litterally chunder on the floor as the green smiley suggested, but it's really nothing special at all. And good ambient should be way, way better...
